ASSESSING PROPERTY.
Il. II. ACl.L, EplToR.

The tax question is one of the most
important before the people today and
it is no new problem. 1t has ever
been perpleNing question since gov
ernmcnt has been organized and taxes
laid. If every property owner would
obey the law aud follow the mandate
of the constitution the question would
be solved and the burden would bear
evenly on all property and not heavily
on any one The constitution Of this
State says as plainly as language can
express it, that all property shall be
assessed for the purposes Of taxation
at its actual value, and yet people so
on making their returns at one half or
even less than actual value and take
the affidavit that they have assessed it
at its actual value. Then the railroad
board and the State board Of cQualiza-
tion meet and assess railroad property
and cotton mill property at sixty per
ccntum Of its capital stock. Why
should they fix sixty per ccntum" Why
not make il fifty or Scvcnty-iivc per
centum, or why not make il one hundred
per ccntum Of Value as the constitution
requires, and what right have these
boards to fix any other valuation than
that fixed by the constitution which
instrument they are sworn to obey and
uphold
The whole thing is wrong. II makes
but little difference to the taxpayer
whether his property is assessed nj
fifty per cent. Of its value or its actual
vam' SO all property is assessed at the
same ratio Of vamc As il is NOW the
taxpayer who assesses his property at
its actual valuc, and there are sor,c Of
tins kind, pays more than his propor-
tionatc share Of the tax. The greatest
objection to our present plan Of assess
mcnt is that the per ccntagc Of value
differs in the different countless In
some counties the per centarc is fined
rs low as forty while in others AS high
AS eighty, and rs a result the eighty
per ccntage county pays twice the
amount Of State tax that tn" forty per
cent. county does. The only equitable,
mode is to have all property assessed at
its actual value.
The Ways and Means committee in
the last house presented n bill which. if
II had been adopted by the Legislature,
would have greatly increased the taNa-
bic property in the State, and would
have gone long way toward equal
izimg the burden. bnt some Of the mem
bers were afraid Of it. The State
board of equalization is worthless ap-
pendagc. They do not eQualze the AS
scssmcnts among the counties. and they
say to the corporation return your prop
erty ut sixty per cent. of your capital
stock. That could be done without the
board meeting.
a committee was appointed by the
last Legislature to take this matter
under consideration We do not expect
any great things flom this committee,
and even if they should agree upon a
measure, we doubt if the Legislature
would adopt it.
This IS as important as any question,
before the people,

LOUIS Exposition, or rather to take the
matter under adVigement. To raise
$25,ooo by private subscription would
require about 5000 from each county.
1t is doubtful If this amount could be
raised and it would be hazardous to de-
pend on an appropriation frc,n the

changed very much since the last acg-

Gold Mountain Maps.

Stoddard Il Saxton, the Gold
Mountain surveyors, have decided to
postpone lithographing of their Gold
Mountain maps for a couple OF
months, pending the survey of about
hundred claims, the location work
of which is now being done.
However, in order to supply the
demand for Gold Mountain data they
will issue prints, both blue and white
background, covering the surveyed
claims to date in sixteen square
miles of the district. Parties wish.
ing these prints will leave orders at
Stoddard q Saxton's Office on Main
street, next J. 2. Brissell's office.
Prints in blue will cost ~ so; in
white, SO so; prints in white with
any specified group or groups col

Saw and Was Convinced.

Prof. Theo. B. Comstock of Los
Angeles, who spent the latter part
of last week and the earl y part OF
this in Tonopah and the surrounding
country, Investigating mining prop
critics for prospective California
buyers, left for home Tuesday night,
but before his departure he made a
three hours visit to the Mizpah and
Belmont properties. What he saw,
he stated to BONANZA representa-
tive, simply astounded him, it so far
exceeded the impression he had
formed from reading and from what
had been told him. He said he could
be counted upon as strong cham
pion of Tonopah, and would sing its
praises whenever the opportunity
offered Professor CONS took is re-
garded as one of the leading mining
engineers of California and Arizona,
and favorable words coming from
his lips cannot fail to rebound to the
good of the district He expects
to return to the camp within the
next next few weeks.

One Million Tons i'm Sight.

A writer in the New York Com
mercial, of date May 5, says that
that part of John Hays Hammond's
report relating to the amount of ore
in sight in the Mizpah mine has been
disclosed and asserts that the meas
urement puts the figures at 1,O7O,
600 tons, and the values at $75 per
ton, grand total of over $50, 900, 900,
How will these figures suit the
knockers who have scoffed the opin-
ion of lesser lights than John Hays
Hammond in the mining world who
have put the total at less than half
what Mr.. Hammond has placed it at.

Personnel Of the TonOpah-Alpine NJ. Co.,
Of Lone Mountain.

Historic old Lone Mountain is now
almost completely surrounded with q
chain of mining camps wherein oper-
ations are being carried on with
great activity, and what is more to
the good is the fact that all are IN
rich shipping ore.
Among the latest mining organlza-
lions to secure property in the dis
trict is the Tonopah- Alpine company,
which is composed almost entirely OF
Salt Lake capitalists. The officials
are. President, ]. c. GLADDEN.; Vice
President, f. H. Lathrop; Secre-
tary, Chas. E. Hudson; Treasurer,
Rodney Badger; Depository, McCor-
nick Bank. These, with A. S. Muir
ply, A. l.. Hudgens and NJ, Nj. kib-
ben form the present directorate
1t is capitalized in 1885, 900 shares,
of par value of s1.OO each. The
treasury holds 375, 900 shares and
SIS, 900 cash.
The property adjoins the Nevada
Alpine company, or the O'Meara q
Lynch mines, on the east side and
consists of seven full and four
fractional claims, comprising about
1870 acres of mineralized ground
Work will commence Immediately on
a shaft to be sunk at point about
500 feet of where the Lynch com
pany is now extracting ore.

Another Company.

DR.. J. L. Garner and w. H, Bo-
land recently purchased the prop
erty, consisting of three claims, of
Messrs, Kelly & Moore, three miles
east of the Alpine group at Lone
Mountain. To this property they
have added four adjoining claims and
will make it group of seven. 1t is
their purpose to organize and work
the property at an early date. Be
hind them are some wealthy people
of Butte City, Mont. Considerable
prospecting work has been done on
the claims and on one of them has
been opened up two and half foot
ledge carrying values to the amount
of $7270 in silver and lead. Enough
ore is already in sight to make up
one or two carloads.

THE DowIs CRUSADE.

TT ELIJAH IL DOWIE has any no.
/ table success in his great plan for
the conversion Of New York city to his
doctrines. he will surprise the country.
New York is too busy just now with
her political eight to pay much atten-
ton to religious adventures of the
Dowie stripe. Tt is difficult to under
stand what there is about DOwie that
has attracted. so many recruits to his
standard. on the face of things the
man is what is known as a CRATER, pure
and simple.
He requires all Of his followers to live
the simplest of lives, but nothing is too
good for himself Witness the recent
exodus from Chicago. Three thousand
Dowie converts Travelled from the me-
tropolis of the west to the metropolis
of the east I'm ordinary day coaches.
Tt is fair TO infer that their fare was
scanty and their journey rough. The
prophet didn't travel with the COM
mon herd. He went east in a private
car with several servants to minister to
his slightest needs.
Again. when the restoration host"
arrived in New York the rank and file
sought cheap lodging houses. DOwie
went to a first-class hotel and engaged
a suite Of rooms This socaIled
prophet" has become a millionaire
many times over but he doesn't permit
his disciples to acquire wealth. Every
dollars worth Of property owned by
his creed is in the name of John Alex
auder Dowie. 10 do with exactly as he
pleases. It may be said that Dowie is
the J. PierpOnt Morgan Of religious
fakirs And he doesn't offer anything
new.
His religion. as it has been described
by people who have heard him discuss
IT, is a mixture Of orthodoxy. spiritual
ism and Christian Science. All of those
platforms were long since pre-empted
by others Nevertheless Dowie has
waxed Fat from the mixture. or rather.
from his ability to make the credulous
swallow the mixture. One Of his pur-
poses in going to New York is TO gain
converts. Another that is equally as
important in Dowie's eyes is to sell
stuff made in Zion City.
New York is one Of the most gullibIe
cities in the Union, in spite Of its ar
rogant assumption Of superiority. It
permits financial buccaneers to unload
worthless stocks at gilt-edged figures.
it takes promises for deeds and it's
memory Of broken pledges is no longer
than the time It takes for the smart to
quit hurting. But New York. even New

A MODERN SOLOMON.

( WISE OLD NEW YORK man who
\ was appointed referee in a divorce
suit has just handed in decision that
bears marks Of Solomon-lile wisdom.
The case was that of Snow against
Snow, the woman being the plaintiff.
In the judgment of the referee she
made out her case and he accordingly
recommended that she be granted an
absolute divorce. But a string was at
tached to the decision.
The SHOWS have two children, a girl
of s years and boy 10 years old. The
referee decided that Mrs. Snow was
entitled to the custody Of one child and
that the other should be awarded to
the husband. The first choice was Civ
en- to Mrs. Snow Fancy putting a
mother in such a position, compelling
her to choose between her chfIdrent
Will Mrs. Snow be able to make
choice? Time alone can tell. At last
accounts she was still wavering.
Better still a news report says there
is a strong probability that the Shows
Will join in a petition to have the di-
vorce decree set aside and that they
viii again live together with both
their children. This is the natural and
logical outcome. Mrs. Snow would
rather, If she is the kind of mother she
seems to be, put up with a great many
unpleasant things from her husband
than lose either Of her children.
And if Snow Is any kind of man at all,
after witnessing the outcome Of this
supreme test of mother love, he will
try to be a better husband hereafter.
The referee is to be congratulated on
his wisdom. True, it is entirely prob
able that he derived his inspiration
from Solomon, but no matter where he
got il, it was a good one. All of us
remember how Solomon solved the
question as TO which Of two women
was the mother of a bouncing babe.
He said "CaH a swordsman and let
the child be cut into two parts. One
of them shall be given to each Of the
women" And a cry went up from a
mothers heart: 90 my lord, give her
the living child. and in no wise slay it."
And Solomon very promptly ordered
the child given to the woman who had
cried out against his judgment No
such calamity confronts the New York
woman but rather than be parted from
either Of her children, she viii again
take up life with her husband and their
father.
