ceives 81, 724.ss. Elko county has ! ,127
children and Washoe 2,l06. The
former receives s., $50 Is and the latter
Sl5,9s4.95. Nye county with all her
rich mines is only credited with 2s2

Der will be greatly increased

the valuation of cows at S25 per head;
beef cattle, $25 per head; stock cattle,

and horses at $50, S4o and $50 per head.
The main track of the S. P. railroad

Mccormick of Douglas, worked to tax
the railroad at a reasonable rate-in
proportion as other property is taxed.
The other members of the board voted
to tax the track at the insignificant
sum of $4,000 per mile, or less than
ten per cent of its cash valuations
