Elko Independent: The Independent,
in Its comments on the Silver State article,
wherein it boosted that Humboldt county
was the richest county In the State and
that the cash value Of the property within
its borders was worth over S23, 000, 900,
did call attention to the fact that the
Assessors valuation OF the same property
was less than 81. 900, 900. 1t is true that
nothing was said in regard to the wealth
OF Elko county, but the omission was not
due to fear. The object Of the Indepen-
dent being merely to call attention OF the
people to the methods pursued by the
Assessor of Humboldt county in fixing the
value of property in that county for taxa
ton. II the Silver State is correct in its
figures, then there is no escape for the
Assessor from the charge that he has not
done his duty under his official oath. The
charge that other Assessors have done the
ssme does not justify him for failing to do
his duty.
The Independent admits that the valua-
ton Of the property returned by the
Assessor Of this county is many millions
less thar the actual cash value Of the
property. To contend otherwise would
make il the laughing-stock Of everybody
who knows anything about the actual
wealth Of the county. II does not admit,
however, that Elko county is as poorly
assessed ~ Humboldt county. Its roll
this year shows an increase OF over $780,
900 over 1898, while that of Humboldt
county shows an increase Of only SS0,639
over that Of last year.
II every Board of Equalization in the
State would do its full duty under the
law, a great many Of the evils complained
OF by the Silver State would be remedied,
Year after year they have met and ad-
journed without equalizing the value Of
the property in their respective counties.
until a custom has grown up that lie In
direct conflict with the law defining their
duties. Scarcely a change Is made in the
assessment as returned by the Assessors.

sleep When the force of dining car
 men turned into this section for the
 night they found two strange men l there. leaving no room for some of the dining car people to sleep. Some con- ment was made, but the mysterious men quietly kept their places and slept comfortably. The next morning the walters were in bad humOr from loss of sleep. After that the detectives found other quarters at night.
 For a long time during the war with Spain three or four city detectives and a secret service man were on duty at the White House. This was during the period when the president continued his tri-weekly receptions in the east room to the public. There was some danger then that cranks might attempt harm. The president did net abandon these receptions until the war had closed and work crowded upon him so heavily that he was forced to give all his time to his office and to the hun dreds of matters before him. In addi- ton to these receptions, which pre- sented good chances for cranks, the president frequently took long walks during the day, generally accompanied by a member of his cabinet. Detect ives were net with him, and if there
 
 During the war there was no un- pleasant incident at the White House growing out Of the visits of suspicious characters. The detectives clnsely scanned all visitors. Sometimes the president received as many as thou sand people at receptions, but all of them were patriotic, loving and re- speoting their president. Every visi- tor who in any way TeseElbled Span iard or a foreigner of southern birth was watched by three CT fou- sets of keen eyes. The president was prob ably not aware that detectives were in the White House. The arrangements fer them were made by the late Major Moore and Secretary Porter, who felt that it was best to have the men around. There were several times stories of suspicious people around the White House at night, and of an at tempt to poison the spring from which the White House gets it's supply of water None of these stories was. true. .Wasafngton Star

QUEER DISARMAMENT.

Great Britain is preparing 1of dlS- armament by unprecedented activity
 in her naval yards. She has under
 construction now a larger number O1
 ships of war than at any previous per iod of her history. In 1898 the output of the government and private ship building yards exceeded 100000 tons and established a record. There is every indication that this uneXampled performance will be surpassed during 1S99 When the present naval year commenced on April 1, last there were under construction nine first-class bat tlesnips. six seccnd-class cruisers, ten third-class cruisers, two slOOps, four gunDcats and forty-one torpedo boat destroyers This is the programme of incompleted ships inherited from for mer years, and had the admiralty not decided on any further additions to the fleet there would have been little diff culty in keeping the government dock yards and private yards adequately supDi;e@ wi+n work The lords of the admiralty. however, found it essential to get parliamentary sanction first for three battleships, four armored cruis- CTS. and four sI0Ops, and later, il July in reply to Russia's special naval vote of &9,000, ,000 the construction Of an additional programme of four battle ships, four armored cruisers and twelve torpedo boat destroyers was ordered. The arnIcEed ships now under con- StructiOn or projected number no less than twenty-eight,' with an aggregate displacement of over $50, 900 tons. This number exceeds by two ships the en- tire Russian fleet of battleships.

CITY OF CATORCE.
One of the Toughest and Most Pic
 turesque Places in Mexico.


 Eight miles due east, over the noun tains from Catorce station. on the
 Mexican National railroad, is the city of that name, a city along whose steep winding streets neither wagon nor cart, neither stage nor bus, nor any other
 wheeled vehicle was ever known to
 pass, although it has often bOasted of a population of 10000 souls. The city
 takes it's name from once being the stronghold and the property of band
 of fourteen of the most daring. des- perate. dangerous and successful rob bers that ever laid tribute on roads of Mexico. They discovered, and for many years worked, the rich deposits of silver that abound in this entire section of the country-deposits, the value of which, if current report be true, for hundreds of years outriValed the mythical riches Of Ophir. Strange to relate, every piece of machinery, every pound of freight, and every pas senger to and from Catorce, is trans ported today, as for centuries past, either on the backs of men or mules. Catorce is one of the most interesting places in Mexico. Here are found the customs of Mexico in their purity, un- affected by the influence of the strang- CT, Difficult Of access, the town can only be reached by horseback CT on foot. Catorce has seldom been visited by any except these making business trips. The ride up the mountains into the town is something, once accom- plished, always to be remembered, partly from it's elements of personal peril, but more because of the beauty of the landscape encountered at every turn. Glancing down, as you near your journeys end, you catch gleam of the white walls of Los Catorce out lined against the green Of the noun tain side. Thousands of feet below simmer the waters of a mountain stream. The shifting coloring of the mountains, as light and shade chase each other over their rugged. expanse, the browns and greens of the valley be- low, and the hills in the lazy distance are e'beautiful exceedingly" The Real de Catcrce is built on the side of a ra- vine near the top Of the range, and has 9 varying population of from 5000 t3 40 900. as the mines are paying well or poorly Here are found all varieties of silver ere from carbCnateS to re- fractory ore, assaying S15,000 to the ton. CatOrce has a fine cathedral, richly decorated, and a pretty plaza. the only level spot in the place. To use a railroad phrase, it is c0mbina- ticn of cut and fill, SC that to tumble into it on one side and out on the other would be extremely disastrous. The streets are neatly paved, ard run up and down hill, many of them at an angle of A egrees.-Modern Mexico.

They are fine to go to bed on, and fine half an hour before breakfast in the morning. The acid of the lemon is an antidote for the alkaii of this region, and the precipitation starts all the pores of the skin to work, and those pores are the safety-vents for the overworked vital -gans.-Salt Lake Tribune
