called upon to make returns to the
Board of Assistant Assessors of the
gross earnings for the preceding fiscal
year On this return the personal tax
for the present fiscal year is TO be as
sessed at the rate of per cent.
The contention of the trust companies
is to the effect that they have already
made returns to the Comptroller oil the
Treasury for the first half Of the last
fiscal year and have paid tax thereon.
To make returns for the same period
again, they maintain, would be to pay

A number of the trust companies OF
the city have written the District Com

tax is tantamount to double taxation.
The real point at issue lies in tine fact
that there is apparent conflict between
the provisions OF the District code and
those of the new personal tax law on
the subject.
The code provides that the banks and
trust companies shall make reports to
the Comptroller OF the Treasury in the

The feature of today's transactions
in the boards was the almost phenO-
menal rise in Caledonia and Overman,
these shares having appreciated 100
per cent in "a hours.
This morning it was learned that
streak had increased to five feet and
that the entire face Of the drift was
in ore assaying SIS per ton, with
small streals aid punches that go
very much highes. The Importance
CT this development cannot be over
estimated. 1t is positively known
that no work has ever been done in
this ground within thousand feet OF
the present ore body.
The country in the neighborhood
of the present strike is prolific in rich
ness and possibilities. In 1890, snort
ly after work was resumed in the
Overnlan, small streak was followed
for a distance OF over 200 feet and
finally developed into a 12-foot body
upcn WHICH l00 men were employed
for two years. In the present instance
the vein in Caledonia has been fol,
lowed fer 10 feet and from mere
stringer the strike has been develop
ed. Another important feature Of the
work is that che southwest drift or
, the 100 level is being advanced with
a view to raising to intersect the 600
| level strike al a distance of $50 fee
! to the south. Much interest is beinE
taken in this work, for should thi

Change In Management

The stool aOlder's meeting of the
Ionopah Company was held in Phila-
ielphia on the 9th OF this month with
the result that considerable change
has been made in the officers Of the
company, which ii is believed will
result in rapid change OF plans and
early working Of the rich mines. Fol-
lowing are the new directors:
Arthur Brock, president; G. r. Mil
Ter, vice President; c. Hibgee, secre-
1ary and treasurer; c. A. Daniel, w.
Anderson.
The Turner faction that was busy
securing proxies for stock, seem to
nave shared badly in the fight for
control. For several months before
The meeting both sides were about
gathering voting shares and even Wis
tied this city, where several Thousand
shares are neld, Most OF this stock
went to the winning side which
means that Superintendent Oddie viii
retain his position. The result of the
election will be a great benefit to To
nopah and the western portion Of the
State. With the knowledge that tn.
