Should be Investigated.

The Commissioners at their last
meeting ordered the Auditor and
treasurer to apportion certain money
paid into the county treasury under
protest by the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company. For the information
of the taxpayers. we will state that on
November 81, 1889, the railroad COM
pany paid under protest the sum of
S977.77. taxes due upon the assess
ment of unsurveyed lands in 1889.
AS the District Attorney of Washoe
county few months ago, collected
judgments against the railroad COM
pany for delinquent taxes on unsur-
veyed land for the years 1887 and
1888, the question naturally arises
why the tinsurveyed railroad lands in
Elko county we're not assessed in
1878. Had they been there would
be more money now in the county
treasury. Thesnex grand jury might
investigate the matter and find out
why these lands were not assessed in
1887 and 1888. The failure to assess
them has cost the State and county
nearly $4,000.

Como Mines Bonded,

Senator Boyle was down to Dayton
from the Comstock last week on bust
ness connected with Como properties.
he has bonded the Mount Como
group of mines to an English COM
pany for $4,000 for six months. On
the tenth of this month he will begin
the construction of the tunnel spoken
OF to run from the mill in Palmyra
canyon to the North Rapidan mine.
This tunnel, we believe, will be be the
salvation OF Como. 1t will open up
new ground; will run through two
claims of the Mount Como group of
mines, now bonded, and drain all the
mines In that section 80 that they can
be prospected and worked to'a great
er depth. The North Rapidan is an
excellent piece of property, and the
old Mt. Como has produced a good deal
OF rich ore itself. All the mines have
been worked down to the water level,
and show good ore at that depth, but
the extra expense Of pumping the
water has been SO great that pros
pecting below that level has never
been done. The Boyle tunnel will
drain all this ground and allow of this
work being done toa depth of over
