Catherine Statistics.

A. K. Chandler, accompanied by
an assistant, A. w. Wolf, arrived
here last Saturday, and for the past
week has been gathering informa-
ton in regard to the flow OF water
in the Walker River, and the bitches
coming therefrom, for the use of the
government. He has also been gath
cring crop statistics and estimating
the number of acres of irrigated and
unirrigated land in the valley. This
information will be used for the
purpose of showing what can be
done in this section by establishment
OF complete irrigation system in
this valley, which may possibly be
attained under the new irrigation
law passed at the last Congressional
session.

TINE NEVADA CHIEF.
Active Development Work Being Done on the
Property and Tea-Stamp Mill To
Route from San francisco.

G.P. McMannon, President of the
Nevada Chief Mining Company, w.
S. McMannon, his son, AIDE Drill,
his son-in-law, and Mrs. drill were
arrivals from California the first OF
this week and after a short layover
proceeded on up to Rockland, where
the mine is located. Mr.. drill will
act as assayer and book-keeper for
the company. The company now
has from twelve to fifteen men EN-
ployed in and about the mine. The
road to the mine is being improved,
buildings are being constructed for
the use of the men, and some springs
about a third OF a mile distant from
the mine are being developed for a
water supply. Two carloads OF
lumber are now on the way to the
mine. Some weeks ago quantity
of ore from the mine was shipped
to San Francisco for treatment to
decide which was the best method
to use in obtaining the values. 1t
was found that plates and concen-
traitors gave the best results, and the
company has contracted with the
Joshua Hendy Co., of San Francis
co, to put in complete ten stamp
mill and concentrating plant. The
concentrators will be of the Stand
ard pattern as they are considered
to do the closest work, and the entire
plant is on the way here from San
/ Francisco now. The mine is look
ing better than ever and there are
several thousand tons in sight ready
to be rnilled. The ore will probably
average better than $40 per ton as
assays run from $40 to $500 per ton
and sometime get above the $1,000
mark. The company has the best
| wishes of this community, as sue
cess to it means more business for
this section.

TINE REVENUE LAW IN LYON.
What The State Controller Has to Say About
Its Operation.

The following is from the Carson
Appeal of recent date:
One of the best object lessons rela-
tive to the beneficial effects of the
revenue law passed by the last Leg
islature, is presented by Lyon coun-
ty, where it's provisions were strict
ly carried out and the valuations OF
property by the State Board of AS
SCISSORS were followed without any
exception.
The tax rate for State and county
for the year 1900 was $2.65 on 500
valuation, in the county. After the
passage of the revenue act by the
Legislature i'll 1901, and the meeting
OF the State Board in April of said
year, where the several classes OF
property susceptible of classification
were valued for assessment purposes
and agreed upon by the Board OF AS
SCISSORS, the Assessor of Lyon county
went home with the determination
of assessing the property according
to the action of the Board, 80 far as
valued, and to assess all other prop
erty not classified, Justly in proper
ton.
There are three railroads passing
through Lyon county; the Central
Pacific, the Virginia 4 Truckee and
| the Carson 4 Colorado, the valuation
of each of which had been fixed by
the Board. The railroads, through
the Central Pacific, decided to test
the validity of the law, and if posi-
Bile, defeat its purposes. The attempt
was successful, and in 50 far as the
railroad was concerned, the assess
ment was relegated to the old sys-
tenn of valua ton according to the
individ ual judgment of each Assess
or for his county; fortunately tor
| Lyon county, 1t had an Assessor who
| believed that the valuations by the
Board were just, and consequently
maintained his position to a final
conclusion.
The result is shown in a very con-
siderable increase in the valuation OF
the property, not only of railroads,
| but of all other classes of property
as well. The rate for State and coun-
ty was lowered from S2.65 to $I.8o on
500 valuation. No one was injured
and the county stands in better con-
dition financially than before. An
other unexpected condition of affairs
has arisen. The taxes were raised
so equitably on all classes of proper
ty, that the railroads in Lyon paid
less taxes than the year before.
In other words, the railroads were
| fighting the provisions of law
which lowered their taxes in the
only county where the law was
absolutely carried out.
| 1t the Assessors in all the other
counties of the State had followed
the law to its full letter, the State
tax rate would have been reduced to
90 cents on the hundred instead of 80.
The next Legislature should see
| that the law is so amended as TO
make the enforcement of it's provis-
ions absolutely mandatory on all
classes of property alike, and it this
is done it will make material re-
duction in the tax rate and injure no
one. Had all the Assessors liked
valuations at the meeting of the
State Board az the Lyon Assessor
did, there would have been no itiga-
| ton.
