within four miles Uf Phoebe. a large
portion OF this line was graded and
three and one half miles OF truck

structiuu work was abandoned and
no work has been done since.
To simplify matters, the News will
call the two roads &c far mentioned.

that I'LL tho title to the property

IL they fail and the road ia built.
the reasonable supposiron is that tho

with u short line, which will probably
be ~ u great deal NJ benefit tu this

mean two new lines through Nevada.
IL they succeed there is no reason 70

1t ID estimated b, Governor SadIer
that the Increased valuation Of prop.

pnriunce OF thus raise. brought abnnt
ny the State Board III As-rssnrs, will
he readily app rciatcd when 1t is
taken INTO considera inu that rlip en-
tire State was ~ Iess ii for but twice
that amount last yJar.
The raise on the Central P.c Tic
will umount to over 5i.n0O.O0h, ill.,
creasing their valuation to abnnl $40,
UO0 800.
Heretofore this company has paid
about uDe.fourth Of tho taxes collect
cd III the State. THE new valuation
will grant the railroad the privilege
Of paying about onc.tbiri oi all the
monry raised 10y assessmant i'll Ne
vadH.
The raise on the Central PIcifs
WIS from an average Of $1,000 per
milo To 100000. II Ia understood that
the company WIS willing 10 pay on
slG.00O, therefore it is hardly likely
that they will carry the matter into
the courts,
Tho rnise on the V. & r. from sS,
00O 20 10000 is not 30 suro. M the
Supreme Court has decided that the
assessment on this road could not
reach TINT figure on the showing
made two years ago md wi u tho
ratio then existent. Probably the
now late will ibhIence this matter
considerably.
What the figures are that will rep.
resent the gain in eheep and cattle
remains to be seen. II will depend
almost entirely upon the energy OF
the asAeesDrs in seeking out mud M.

proves correct the State rate will
probably be about Gj cents instcnd
