Information in Re-
gard to Locations.

The statutes of the State OF Nevada
provide as follows in the matter OF max
ing amended locations, or changes OF
boundaries: "If at any time the locator
of any mining claim heretofore, or here
after located, or his assigns, shall appre-
hend that his original certificate (of To-
caton) was defective. erroneous, or that
the requirements OF the law had not been
complied with before filing; or shall be
desirous of changing bis surface boun-
daries, or of taking in any part OF an
overlapping claim which has been aban-
doned, or in case the original certificate
was made prior to the passage of this
law, and he shall be desirous OF securing
the benefits of this act such locator or
his assigns may file an additional certifi
cate, subject to the provisions of this
act; provided, that such relocation does
not interfere with the existing rights Of
others at the time of such relocation,
and no such relocation, or the record
thereof shall preclude the claimant or
claimants from proving any such titles
as he or they may have held under pre-
vious locations" The law does not re-
quire that in making an amended loca-
tion that the relocator shall state for
what purpose be makes an amended To-
cation, but simply gives him that right,
but does not permit him to appropriate
any portion OF a claim owned by others,
either prior to his original location or
subsequently. Any rights or privileges
obtaining under the original location
extends TO the amended location. All
the assessment work for group Of
claims may be done on one of them, but
the work must be for the benefit of all,
as a shaft on one of the claims where
the same vein runs through all of the
group. 1t il one claim where the several
claims of the group were located on sep
arate veins. The work may be done in a
single tunnel to develop number of
veins lying beyond, and which are Gov
cred by several locations, as such tunnel
development will manifestly be for the
benefit of all the claims of the group.
The discovery OF new or blind vein
within the limits of claim already To-
Gated does not permit the owner of such
claim to take anything beyond the boun-
daries OF his original location, and in case
OF an amended location his privileges are
confined to those lines. In no case can
he encroach upon his neighbors. He OBJ
tains the extralateral right, however, the
same as upon his originally discovered
vein.

A Splendid Rev
enue Bill.

Friday the Senate of Nevada put itself
on record as passing the best revenue
bill ever introduced in the Legislature.
1t Is the jackson bill that provides for a
percentage of the taxation collected to go
to the Assessor making the assessment.
The measure is a simple one. 1t pro-
vides that the Assessor OF county Is to
be paid on a ratio of assessment. In
Ormshy county for instance, the Assess
or, should he collect more revenue would
receive thirteen cents for each additional
Sl00 worth of property assessed. This
applies on top of the present salary he
now receives. In the other counties the
rate is figured from the last tax list or
roll furnished the State by the different
Assessors. The bill aims to make it an
object for the Assessor to hunt up pop
erty that is escaping taxation.
When the bill came up yesterday, one
Senator raised the objection that it
would raise the salary of the Assessors.
This is just the point aimed at 1t the
Assessor can raise his salary by hunting
up delinquent tax dodgers, the object OF
the law ia fulfilled, and the majority of
the Senate so figured. The law can in
no way affect the small holder, as he is
assessed to his full valuation, but the
big holder, who endeavors to dodge his
taxation, will be hunted up, as the AS
SCISSOR will have an object in view in do
ing so. Give any man with bit Of am.
bition in him the chance to make more
money and he will grab the opportunity
like child bankers after candy, At the
same time every extra taxation that az
Assessor helps swell the funds of the
county and State, and in this manner
the rate OF taxation can be lowered as it
should be.
The bill as it stands is the best piece
Of legislation yet passed at this, or in
fact many sessions, and with this bill in
conjunction with the Pitt revenue law,
Nevada should soon have lower taxa
ton rate and greater valuation TO show
the world. Carson Appeal.

Gentlemen: take great pleasure in
presenting this pen to your honorable
body and splendid organization, as !
consider the eight hour law great pro-
lection for mine and mill men and if
properly lived up to by the employer

otherwise it will cause many men to be
thrown cut of employment and drive
them to financial distress.
Yours truly,

1t IL, perhaps, no wonder that mat
ters political In the republican state
of Wisconsin are not TO the liking OF
the Iowa County Democrat, but II Is
rather surprising that they are less to
the liking Of our highly esteemed bot
intensely republican contemporary,
the Southwest Wisconsin. Editor
Taylor thoroughly dislikes the pri-
mary election bill, and says so in
the strongest, hardest words at his
command. He Is also opposed TO the
ad valorem system Of taxing railroads
and says SO in positive language.
By II is Tor recommending that mort
cages aud other evidences of debt be
exempt from taxation that he poCrs
out the Walls of his wrath upon the
heads of the state tax commission.
The Democrat believes it Is the first
duty of every American citizen to
attend cancus and help to nominate
worthy men for Office, and to make
good platforms, and that only ~ this
duty Ii performed by those who have
the welfare Of the state nj heart will
good government be secured; and SO
we are In accord with The Wisconsin
In uncompromising opposition to the
primary election scheme. Rather than
new statutes the state needs the revi-
sion and repeal of the present caucus
and election laws.
Neither IL The Democrat inclined to
revolutionary or popullstic railway
legislation. If under the al yalorem
system II railroad cannot be regarded
for the purpose of taxation as " con
tinuous working whole, then the Ii
conse foe system IL the better system
But the recommendation to exempt
credits from taxation Ia to the ever
lasting credit OF the majority Of the
tax commission Judge ellison and
Mr.. Curtis-who take that cminently
sound position. Their manner Of
avoiding double taxation Is sure and
simple. not by the roundabout method
Of California and Missouri, but sim
ply by exempting evidences Of debt,
In taking this position they put doma-
gogy behind them, and marked them
selves m clear headed, conscientious
statesmen,
The legislature ought to speedily
enact this one wise recommendation
into law, and go rather slowly in
other matters where their duty Is not
quite 80 plainly apparent.
