Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1902-10-26

The Lincoln County Record of the
18th OF October, contained a TRADE OF
abuse and Misrepresentation OF Con-
troller Davis in reply to his speech
made few days previous at Della
mar, relative to the way the DeLamar
mines had evaded taxation. The
speaker read facts and figures to his
audience and charged the county Off
Gals with derelectlOn of duty, allow
ing two rich mining companies to es-
cape the payment of the proper taxes
on their net profits.
While talking, man in the audience
arose, and asked if the State Board
of Revenue mad not compromised the
suit, by sending the Attorney General
w. d. Jones to DeLamar as its repre-
sentative. The speaker replied that
the State Board OF Revenue had never
authorized Acknowledgement Jones to
compromise the suit, OR any one else.
That the public may have a clear
idea OF the attempt on the part OF the
State to collect the taxes of the De
Lamar company, the Appeal finds it
necessary to go back to the year 1900
The following correspondence
speaks for itself:
Carson City, March 81, 1900.
To the County Commissioners, Coun-
ty Assessor and A-strict Attorney
of Lincoln County, Nevada.
Gentlemen
The DeLamar Mining
Company has not paid any taxes on
the net proceeds OF mines to the State
for several months past. We call
your attention to he matter, and re-
quest that you take sucn steps at
once. under the Revenue Law of this
State, as will enforce the collection
from the DeLamar Company, of such
taxes as may be due from the time
the taxes have not been paid, we
trust that you will act promptly in
the matter and report to us such steps
as you may take.
1t will be WEI to have the Assessor
determine the amount due, and the
ooa'o should order that this officer
tai.. the proper steps to so determine
and then the District Attorney should
demand the sum. and if it is not paid
at once to forwith bring suit to en-
force the same.
Yours truly,
Reinhold Sadler, Gov.
Sam Davis, Controller.
W. d. Jones, Attn'y. Genl
This brought rambling reply from
Assessor Herman Prudential, which
is too long for publication, but from
which few extracts may be taken
to show it's general impudent tenor.
by what right do you single out
the DeLamar company and leave the
returns of the rest of the mining com
panies doing business in this State
out in the cold?'
Have you made any comparison
of the returns of the rest of the min
ing companies of the State with the
DeLamar? I dOubl it.
by what authority doyou authorize
ne to determine the amount due OF
back taxes from any mining company
see nothing in the statutes which
authorizes anything of the kind

to go out and start SUI, againso the
company if the county authorities
would not. The Board, at meeting,
decided that it would be unwise lor
any single individual of me board to
assume the responsibility of such
trip, and agreed that it was best TO
go as a Board and do business openly
in the matter at the county seat
A few weeks afterwards, Attorney
General Jones dropped into the Capt.
tol building and announced that he
had been out there and settied the
matter. This was a surprise to the
Governor and Controller after the
agreement made a few weeks previ-
ously.
Mr. Jones' action was severely cri-
ticised by the DeLamar Messenger
al the time Under the statutes. the
State Controller mas the. supervision
Of all tax suits, but possibly the At
torney-General overlooked the sta
tute.
The suit was compromised on most
favorable terms to the company. and
this statement is now made on behalf
Of the Governor and Controller, that
they never authorized such a settle
ment.
That the Controller never author
lied it. is evidenced by re following
letter:
Carson City May IA, 1901

General of the Sto-e Of Nevada.

the State Revenue Board consisting Of
the Governor. Acknowledgement and
Controller, notified the DeLamar Min
ing Company of 4-.ncOln county that
the charges they had given in for free
milling OF their ore were considered
exorbitant by the Board and made
for the purpose of reducing the net
cost of production, thereby depriving
the State of it's proper proportion of
taxes. According to the returns
made in their sworn statement, now
on file in this Office, 5u405O tons of
ore was handled by the company from
the quarter ending June 80. 1895 to
the quarter ending Sept 80. 1899. The
cost Of extracting. transportation and
milling is set forth as amounting tC
$5,854.517, making the cost per tor
a trifie over $40.
The cost of milling the same amo
unit OF ore is set forth in the swor1
statements of the company as amount
ing to $3,992,1 79, or about $1312.
