Volcanoes In North America.

In our North American possessions we
have volcanoes to spare. says the Era.
There are fifteen active craters in Al
aska, and score more In repose which
may at any time break forth. The Alas
ka volcanoes have been active during all
the time the country has been known to
civilized man. In 1896 an island was
formed thirty miles north of Unalaska
by volcanic action; eight years later.
when revisited, the soil was still warm
This island has gradually been increasing
In size. probably by upheaval of land.
Just across Bering straight another vol
eano In Kamchatka, $1,000 feet in height,
erupted I'm 1929. with a noise that was
heard for fifty miles. One of the vol
canoes in Cook Inlet is $4,000 feet high.

NEVADA HAS A VOLCANO.
Located Near Silver Peak and Is Ready for
Business

A correspondent of the Hawthorne Bull
letin, from Silver Peak, contributes the
following very interesting item
The volcano to the northeast of town
has for some time been showing signs
of uneasineSs. For the last three months
rocks thrown out by the old eruption
have been red hot, and volcanic ashes
cover the hills north of town to a depth
of two or three feet. 1t is impossible for
US to tell what the action of the volcano
will be, but we look for the arrival of
some Yale and Harvard professors, ex-
perts on hot air and gas, to tell us. In
the meantime we are anxious on account
of its proximity and threatening aspect
The timber has been burned off the hills
on both sides of the valley and even the
sagebrush has been dried up by the heat
The teamsters cross the salt marsh, 60
ing to and coming from Tonopah, rather
than take the road which runs within
a mile or two of the mountain They
have heard of Mount Pelee and amt
hunting trouble. There is no danger of
great loss of life here for there are
iot eHOuSH people IN the entlre country
to fill good-sized barn. Although that
is true, we believe in the survival of the
httest and as most of US have been here
for long time we desire to remain a
hundred years longer. We watch the
clouds every night to see reflections from
the red fires deep in the bottom of the
5crater. Nearly every night the clouds
are of fiery red. If the mountain
should break loose and deluge the earth
with fire and gas, / will report immedi-
ately df not much charred). You may
expect to hear from after the blow up,
but In the meantime you must be salts
fed to know that the old camp is in the
same place. and except for the action Of

COUNTY sTIRs UP CERTAIN
CLASS OF DEBTORS.
LAWS s1RoNcA INVOKED
Personal Property Tax DeIinquents
Must Settle Forthwith-Also Pro-
fessionai License Dodgers.

~ SN N~J - ASSAS VI
The Gazette the county commission
ers are very much in earnest in their
effort to enforce payment by those
in arrears for personal taxes and
those who are indebted to the county
for professional licenses, legally
known as occupation taxes.
The books of the treasurer show an
aggregate of considerably owe $4,000
due the county by parties who have
neglected to pay taxes on personal
property, while the professional gen.
tlemen also occupy considerable
space on the debit side of the ledger.
Both will be made to come to time and
a couple of sticks have been sharpen
ed to a point for the purpose of ac-
celebrating their movements.
After discussing various methods,
the board finally decided to employ
H. A. Firth as special deputy county
treasurer and to him has been dele
gated the task Of making collection Of
the personal taxes, while County At
torney Hathhorn will look after those
in for professional licenses.
Under the law Mr.. Firth is author
lied, in fact required to make seizure
of all personal property upon which
taxes remain unpaid and sell the same.
The only condition attached is the
legal requirement that he must ad-
vertise for a periods of seven days the
property under levy. At the expfra-
ton of that time it is to be sold at
auction to the highest bidder. He has
concluded to begin today and those
who know themselves indebted to the
county because Of the non-payment
of such taxes may as we'll prepare
themselves for some very annoying
experience, as he has a complete list
of %delinquents and will enforce the
law without favor.
Enforcement of the law may prove
a hardship on some persons, but the
list of %delinquents in his possession
shows the names of many who are
amply able to pay, but have neglected
to do SO, some, perhaps, dishonesty
so, others through carelessness. Not
to make 1t too hard on the poorer of
the delinquents, the board instructed
Mr.. Firth to make collections for last
year only, notwithstanding that many
are in arrears for a number Of years
The mode Of procedure in the case
Of those who are debtors for licenses
will be different. They will be Motif
ed that they are expected to make
payment forthwith and failure to CON-
ply with the notice will subject them
to the annoyance OF defending a law.
suit in which the county is the plain
tiff.
Instead OF being required to make
payment for n year only, the de-
%linquents in this class will be forced
to pay the full amount Of their de-
linquencies, which in the case of one
class of professional men is said to
cover a period Of three years.
