Neyada,s Bullion Tax.

Discussing the evenu that are being
derived from the ''bullion tai" in Ne
vads. the Phoebe Record says the report Of
the State Controller for the year shows
that there were 90, 799 tons and 1897
pounds of ore worked in the State for
1896, giving . gross yield Of 5 1857 .S41 50,
upon which q bullion tax Of $40, 288 70
was collected. OF this amount Lincoln
county turned in 41,1s3 tons and 1 1886
pounds Of ore, giving Q gross yield Of
81. 528, 2S3 63. upon which 9 bullion tax
was collected amounting 10 50. 305 o.. The
balance OF the counties turned in the
difference between 30. 799 tons and Al ,1s3
Lincoln county's r~eturns), being 40. 6l6
tons, giving q gross yield Of 50, 1929, 557 IS,
that being the difference between the
total IS, 1857, s41 SO and that Of Lincoln
county's 1928, 1888 So. upon which a
bullion tax was collected amounting to
1888 10.
The whole State turns in $40, 288 ~ in
bullion tax, and OF this amount Lincoln
county contributes the sum OF s9.305 o..
and the rest OF the State the small, in
significant sum of $3.50 20. By compari.
son Of the above figures ii shows that the
average of the ores of Lincoln county for
the year was s37 IS per ton. and that Of
the rest OF the State was s4S 46 per ton.
Lincoln county then. with an output Of
4 1888 tons, Of the value Of s37 Is per
ton, pays a bullion tax Of 50. 3O5 o.. while
the res. Of the State, with an output Of
40, GIG tons, OF an average OF s4S 46 per
ton, pays a bullion tax Of only 1888 10, q
comparison that speaks well for the work

The Legislature is now making up for
lost time, says the Reno Journal OF the
2nd inst. Both Houses met ct 10 o'clock
and night sessions are in order. Com
mittees to whom important bills have
been referred are diligently engaged in
e~ndeavoring to ascertain the effect GER
tain measures will have on the State.
The result is that members are busy all
the time. They are intent on passing all
the important bills at the earliest pos
sible day so that the Legislature can sd-
journ early next week.
The time for which members can re-
ceive pay will expire at midnight March
sth. Under the constitution they can
remain in session ten days after that
time, bat should they do 30 they will
receive no compensation for the service.
Many OF them are farmers and they are
anxious to get home and work. A few
may remain until after the Corbett- Fitz.
simmons discussion, but . large majority
Of the members express q desire to &c.
away from the Capital and its seductive
influences as soon Is possible.

Minnesota has q curious bill before her
Legislature, providing that every saloon
keeper in that State shall be compelled
to place upon the door of his place Of
business a sign bearing the word "dan-
GER" A little thing like that is not
likely to have a restraining effect upon a
toper's thirst. Most Of the stuff that
goes over the bar in these days has a
tendency to cause the imbiber to lose all
fear Of danger.

THE WARNING OF DUBOIS.

That was q timely notice which Sena-
tor Dubois served on the Republicans in
the Senate on Saturday, that if they con.
tinued to persevere in their breach Of
faith with the people, they would never
again without help pass a bill, never
again be in 3 majority in the Senate or
anywhere else. They lost ten naturally
Republican States last November. While
their present idols are chung to will never
regain one Of them, and next time they
will lose a good many more States. We
believe that Mr.. Mckinley and Mr..
Hanna and many more Of the chiefs re-
alize this, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
and that one Of the chief exertions of the
incoming President will be to adjust the
silver question on lines of right. Surely
il he is ss broad q man as we believe him
to be, he will assert himself on that sub.
ject as ON no other. The condition OF
business and Of the people ought to be
sufficient to cause him to put forth all
his exertions, but beyond all that he
ought to be clear-minded enough to see
in what favor Mr.. Cleveland is going out
Of Office and what the prospects Of his
party will amount to if he follows in Mr..
Cleveland's footsteps.

Facts About Gold Creek.

The News, published at Gold Greek, the
new placer mining camp in Elko county
near the Idaho border, publishes some
| facts about that district that should have
the effect Of making prospectors think
twice before going there. Following is a
statement Of facts in the News:
In the immediate vicinity Of Gold Greek
the ground is all located. Some 200 quartz
claims and 10. 1000 acl ss OF plscers have
been taken up, and these cover all the
land that Is valuable. Nor are many Of
these claims held for speculation to be
transferred to the first party making an
offer. Most Of them are being surveyed
for patent with a view Of their develop
ment az q permanent industry.
So far Gold Greek itself offers few
allurements to the ever restless prospector.
However, In the surrounding territory
camps may yet be discovered that are
even ss good ss Gold Greek. This hope is
the prospeotor's goal and ever leads him
on.
The camp has few accommodations for
an influx Of ~prospectors and they are adj
vised to wait until the snow disappears
from the mountain slopes before entering
thai region.

The free silver Republican contingent
held a caucus at Washington Monday, at
which it was resolved to assail the inter
national monetary conference bill when
il up for final approval. Senators
Teller, Dubois, Cannon, P~ettigrew and
associates agreed to attack the bill on
the ground that it is absolutely q useless
piece Of legislation, conceived in folly
and to be carried out in bad faith. The
position they take is that the commission,
if appointed, will make no advancement
to the advantage of silver. and it will not
be intended that the body shall make
any progress in that direction.

Local option I'm Nevada.

The Assembly passed a local option bill
which provides that whenever q petition
signed by thirty per cent Of the voters is
presented. the question of granting q
license 70 sell liquor shall be presented to
the people Of that particular district. and
9 majority vote shall decide whether or
not Q license shall be granted.
It was claimed that the bill was not
aimed at any class, and was not intended
ss . prohibition or temperance move
ment. It was simply . measure 10 close
up joints in remote valleys, where liquor
was sold to boys in defiance Of the law,
and disgraceful scenes enacted on Sunday.
These places. being far from the eyes Of
the law. sell liquor to Indians and to boys
without much danger Of being prosecuted.

A ~PEsrILENr FELLO W.

The Congressional debate on the bill
providing for the calling Of . bimetaliic
conference is chiefly interesting because
il discloses the hopeless divergence OF
views on The money question among Re-
publican leaders and makes q little clearer
the fraud embodied 10 the bimetallic
pledge of the Republican platform.
While Senator Chandler is laundering
about bimetallism aud is giving solemn
warning to the Republican party and its
"overconfdent" President, says the st.
Louis Republic. the majority Of the Re-
publican leaders are sneering down the
whole subject and are preparing to null
lily any movement not in harmony with
the ideas Of the msenates who put up the
money for the Hanna campaign.
Chandler is being denounced by the
Mckinley press as q disturber and q
blatherskite. Either the bimetallic
pledge is interpreted to mean something
different from what it was supposed to
mean before the election, or il is affirmed
that subsequent events and the final turn
Of the campaign deprived the plank OF
all meaning.
There can be no doubt that Senator
Chandler is . disturber. He is interior
ing with . pretty programme to have
Mckinley pose as q friend of silver. who
would like to do something for the white
install, but is restrained by circumstance
over which he has no control. Wolcott's
mission to Europe was expected to sat-
isfy the public mind that the Major is
doing his best, and things were to drift
along in misty limitations and vacuou
predictions until the next campaign.
But Chandler is threatening the expos.
IRE Of the game by insisting that the
party do something to redeem it pledge.
He calls upon Major Mckinley to de-
clare where he is at" Chandler is q
pestilent fellow. II he is not squelched
he will make it unpleasant for the adj
ministration.

cisco, and partly in the Royal School
of Honolulu. The greater part of his
life was on the Islands, and it may
here be noted that having but little
inclination to travel, he never went
beyond the Pacific coast in his visits
to the United States. When about six
teen years of age, Hr. Patty first en-
tered commercial life, and for three
years thereafter was engaged in the
merchandise, real estate, and general
auctioneering business. In August,
1859, Mr.. Patty entered the employ of
Bishop & Co, and was successfully
promoted to be head bookkeeper and
assistant cashier; until finally, in 1875,
after sixteen years of faithful service,
he was admitted to partnership in this
great financial institution.
He was married in 1871 to Miss
Bolles, a lady of America parentage,
but who, like himself, was born in
Honolulu, and whose father had for
nearly half a century been a prom
inent merchant of this city. Five
children, all daughters, have been born
to them in Honolulu.
Aside from his interests in the bank,
he was one OF the promoters of the
Oahu Railroad He was also a large
stakeholder in several sugar planta-
items, and was at one time the princi-
pal owner of the Kawailoa ranch,
which embraces some $4,000 acres of
land.
Personally, j. II. Patty was a man
of quiet and retiring disposition, and
although, he was sincerely interested
in the welfare of the country, he made
no pretensions, and was not fond Of
having his name put forward in public
matters He was for several years
Consul of the Netherlands in Hawaii.
He was also Chairman of the Board
of the Hawaiian Tramway Co., Ltd,
Treasurer of the Board of the Queen S
Hospital, Treasurer of the Board If
Trustees of the Sailors Home So
ciety. Vice-President of the Honolulu
Board of Underwriters, President OF
the Oahu Land and Railroad Co., and
Chairman of the Board of Trustees OF
the Hawaiian Lodge, F. and A. NJ.
Owing to increasing i'll health he
gradually retired from most of the IN
situations or enterprises with which
he had been connected, but he still re-
tanned an office in the bank of Bishop
& Co. his failing health, however, has
prevented his visiting it for some
months past.

THE MYTHICAL ISLAND.
No Truth in the Statement That
Hawaii W IL Add to Its Territory.

No Truth in the Statement That
Hawaii W - Add To Its Territory.
An afternoon paper published a few
days ago an account of mythical ISL
and somewhere off the coast of Guate-
mala which this Government expected
10 take possession of. tThe story is be-
lieved TO have come TO Hawaii through
some returning passengers on the Cop
tic
Hon. W. o. Smith was spoken to yes
terday afternoon regarding the matter
and he denies absolutely that there is
any truth in the matter. so far as
this Government is aware" he said
the island has no existence. Mr.. Neu-
mann's visit 10 Guatemala was on
business connected with the trade re-
lations between that Government and
this, and the possibility of a steamship
line, point in which | had very little
faith as they grow coffee and sugar
there the same as we do here. He was
given a commission to act in a sort of
official way because it would make it
easier for him. There was no talk of an
island before he went away or since
his return, nor was there any CORES
pondence on the subject during his
stay there"
To the idea that Hawaii was to add
to it's possessions was exploded in
paragraph. The addition of territory
so far away was the thought of some
one whose ambition may have been to
compete with others for a design for a
new coat of arms or a great seal for
the eight bars would have to be chang
ed as we'll as several other accessories
on the present design.
