Surveyor Generals Report.

We have received the report of Survey
or General Pratt.I fIt is good report
and contains many suggestions that If
carried opt would prove profitable. 1t
possesses the merit OF considerable
thought and originality, and the matter
is well chosen. We will quote from it
during the year. We were also particu-
larly pleased with the report of Assessor
Jake Eggers of EIko County. There is
no veneer about his writing. 1t is what
newspapers call "good solid stuff" 1t
is common -sensed and will appeal strong
ly to any man who is looking for place
to make home. Assessors Freuden-
thai of Lincoln and Guthrie OF Humboldt
took pains with their reports.
In this connection, and as the Stat
utes of Nevada demand report, and as
Churchill County is series blanks.
we wonder if the Sheriff and Assessor oi
Churchill was not criminally negligent
in failing to report. The stranger from
afar as he reads the report of the Sur
veyor General will have cause to think
Churchill depopulated desert. This
may seem small thing to the Assessor,
but to us il seems like an outrage that
such an important matter should be so
neglected.. 1t is one of the very best
counties in the State and its resources
should be shown whenever occasion Of
fers. 1t did not cost Nevada any less to
print that report because Churchill was
omitted.

THE AMERICAN FLAT.

MIR. Franklin Leonard of the Comstock
Tunnel Company, returned yesterday
from visit to Carson. Mr.. Leonard,
who is naturally greatly interested in
the proposed plan to extend the Com
stock tunnel to American Flat, talked
with great many people from all parts
of the State during his visit. Mr.. Leon
ard said to an Enterprise reporter last
was almost certain that some plan would
be devised soon by which the proposed
enterprise could be carried through
When asked as to what part the Tunnel
Company would take regarding the en-
terprise Mr.. Leonard said: OF course
the Comstock tunnel is the key to the
situation and | am thoroughly convinced
of the great possibilities with which
the proposed extension of the tunnel is
fraught. | am anxious to do all in my
power to further the project. PROPOSE
tions have been made to me, and have
submitted them to the directors OF my
company and am waiting reply. feel
that everyone who has interests in this
State should do all in their power to aid
the proposed enterprise along. At pres
ent am carefully studying the situation
that l may learn how to best aid the
canse.
Herman Zadig visited the Comstock
this week. He came up principally to
start some important work on the Gold
en- Eagle mine, in Silver City, in which
he is Interested.
Silver City is coming camp, said Mr..
Zadig to an Enterprise reporter last
evening. 1t will be bigger camp than
Bodie il they can ever get the water out
of the mines there. The greatest project
there ia, he continued, is the draining OF
the American Flat. Every Comstock
business man ought to be alive to the
great advantages such scheme would
be to this city. People interested here
ought to hold meeting and contribute
handsomely to aid theproiect along. We
shall hear great things of the Brunswick
before the year is out. The 400 foot
level in Chollar looks 58 per cent better
than the 300 foot did. They will begin
drifting on the 800 foot level this week.
The new development on the 1850 of
Con. Virginia is an important one. They
have got ore there and it is in virgin
ground. look for great activity in
Comstock, Brunswick and American
Flat properties very soon.-Virginia City
Enterprise. . III,
A new Comstock would be the result
of taking hold and putting throught the
American Flat proposition. 1t would
put new life in the most populous parts
Of Nevada and thereby benefit the entire
State. The matter should be kept before
the people until decisive action 10 taken
and we hope, for, the great good it will
do our neighbors that it will. be pushed
10 success. :, eaa

INoRDINATE WEALTH.

A Plan to Secure an Amepiment to the
 Federal Consultation for Lcvying a Tax
 TOPEKA, Kan, April 6.-Ex- Lieut. Gov. Percy Daniels has succeeded in interesting most of the leading demo- cratic and populist statesmen of Kan sas in an organization, the object of which is to operate a bureau of infor- nation concerning his scheme to tax inordinate wealth and ultimately to secure an amendment to the federal constitution giving congress the power to levy such a tax. The organization is now working on plan to arouse public interest all over the country on this subject.
 The Kansas legislature took up the question at it's recent recess and adopt ed a resolution asking congress to sub- init a proposition to amend the federal constitution providing for a tax on in- ordinate wealth to vote of the peo- pie. The legislatures of other stetes will be asked to adopt similar resolu- tions. The promoters of the idea do not expect to accomplish the object sought immediately, but believe that by proper management the people might get a chance at such a proposi- tion in 1900.

 BEILEFoNTE, Pa., April GA spark from locomotive fell on dry grass in the middle section of the Kittany mountains, and after heavy winds for 40 hours the flames are spreading over the mountains from top to bottom The efforts of those sent to fight the fires have been in vain, and they are now trying to confine the blazes to the mountains and protect the clearings The timber lands north of Milesburg have suffered most. Another fire broke out in the Seven mountains and was burning fiercely last night. In the Potono and Blue Ridge mountains the damage has been confined principally to timber and railroad ties.

Kansas and Missouri Cattlemen Afraid of
 the Retroactive Clause of the Tariff Bill.
 WASHINGTON, April G. --Congressmen Cochran and Cowherd, of Missouri, and Congressman Peters, of Kansas, have been flooded with telegrams from Mis- souri and Kansas cattlemen asking for information in regard to the retroac- tive clause of the tariff bill. The cor respondents said that nearly all con- tracts made by Missourians and Kan sans for the shipment of Mexican cat tie were practically made in January, earnest money being deposited in that month and shipment ordered as soon as the Mexican cattle were ready for importation. They fear that under the retroactive clause they will be compelled to pay the new tax of $6 q head. Their fears are, however, groundless, as it is provided that all articles purchased for import prior to April shall not be subject to the new rates of duty.

CRETAN BLOCKADE A FARCE.
rear of q European War-What Russia
 and Germany Want

LONDON, April 6.--It is just month since the so-called concert of the pow CTS threatened the blockade of Crete. which has proved quite intellectual, be- ing continually evaded, and to-day the anarchy in Crete and the confusion in European councils are worse than before. It is by no means certain that all the powers have actu- ally agreed to blockade the Creek ports. The latest news indicates that France and Italy are still averse to this course. The fact is that the powers distrust of each other reduces them to impotence. None of them wants general war, nobody being able to foresee what it's eventual result would be. It is believed that Russia and Germany, and perhaps Austria, want localized war, hoping that Fur key, being victorious, will lay Greece at the mercy of European dictation.

There arc five contending clements, each of which is press ing it's interest for particular recognition in any treaty arrange ment and with the Dawes com mission accused of an apathy to treat ing upon any lines at all, a general disagreement may be expected The outcome of this conference in the opin- ion of the best informed men will largely determine the ability of the Dawes commission to deal with the Indian people.
