AN IMMENSE POWER PLANT
Colonel Boyle's Plan TO Tap Lake
Tahoe.

Col. Boyle was in Carson recently
making arrangements preparatory to
the introduction OF bill in the legisla-
ture granting permission to company
of capitalists to tap Lake Tahoe for the
purpose of securing power for a light
and power plant to furnish the towns
of Carson, Reno and Virginia with
electric light and power.
The plan of the company Is to run a
tunnel four miles in length, starting on
the eastern slope OF the Sierras and tap
the lake six or eight feet below its pre-
sent level. MIR. Boyle thinks it will
take about four years to complete the
tunnel as work can only be done in one
force.
The mouth of the tunnel will be about
100 #. above the proposed power plant.
With this head of water, unlimited
power can be developed, and the head
or flow OF water can be regulated to suit
the requirements. The cost OF pump
ing on the Comstock by this power
would be reduced from "a cents per
horse power for "a hours 10 about II
cents per horse power for the. same
period.
The project, II successful, will rank
next in importance, for the Comstock,
to the finding of another bonanza OF the
early days. Rock that can not now be-
worked will, with the advent OF l2.cent
horse power yeritable be bonanzas.

The announcement was made last week
that an agreement for the settlement OF
khe Central Pacific debt to the Govern.
ment has at last been reached between
Mr.. Speyer, the New York banker rep.
tesenting the Company, and the Gov
srnment Commission, consisting Of the
President, the Secretary oil the interior
and the Attorney General. 1t is un.
aerstood that the plan contemplated is
the payment OF s5s, 900, 900 to the Gov
srnment In semi-annual 3 per cent notes
the last expiring ten years from date.
These notes win be secured by a deposit
OF Central Pacific per cent bonds.
It is not definitely known who will
control the road hencsforth, but even II
the Southern Pacific Company main
tains its Supremacy. 1t will probably
adopt much more libsrable policy to-
ward Nevada than It has hitherto.
The road has been run for years In the
interest of the Company's southern line
and to all appearances, the aim has
been to run down its value to enable the
owners TO settle the debt to the Gov
eminent for song. Now, the men
who have undertaken to pay of this
enormous debt, are bound to insist that
the road be made to pay every cent OF
which 1t is capable. The largely in
creased freight traffic that has been GO
Ing over the line for the past few
months may be already Indicative OF
the change Of policy.

During late years there has been
much dissatisfaction felt all over the
State with the operation OF the law
taxing the net proceeds of mines. The
rancher or merchant pays taxes on all
of his property, even though he oper-
ates at loss, while the miner pays only
on his net profits, while many an oper-
atOr shirks even that responsibility by
rendering false statements to The As
SCISSORS. As result, Mr.. Blakeslee OF
Washoe county has introduced bill in
the Assembly to amend the law In such
manner as to restore the provisions of
the original measure, which was framed
inslS7l by Mr.. Garaghan OF this county.
II provides that in no case shall the ex-
emption from taxation Of any mine ex-
coed 80 per cent OF the proceeds of ore
that yields $l2 or less per ton; 20 per
cent of the gross proceeds of ore that
yields over sl2 and under $50; 80 psr
cent on ore from $50 to 800; and IS per
cent on ores over 500.
While these divisions are largely ar.
pitrary and might result In injustice in
some cases, the same law was In opera
tfon from 1871 to 1885, and was great
success as revenue producer. The
chance to shirk was greatly reduced
and each producing mine paid some
thing towards the cost OF the Govern.
