The last legislature passed an
other act in line with Others l
have already mentioned in my
letters. An act relating to coun-
ty government and the reduct-
ion of the rate of taxation pro-
vides for the reduction of the
rate of at least ten cents on the
one hundred dollars of assessed
valuation per annlim, until 1T
reaches SIS on the one hum
dred dollars af assessed valua-
ton, and thereafter it shall be
reduced at the rate of five cents
per annum until it reaches fifty
cents on the one hundred dollars
of assessed valuation. The rail-
road company having fixed"
the value of their property at
$4,000 per mile, will finally
pay taxes on $4,000 per mile
at the rate of fifty cents on the
one hundred dollar valuation,
whereas it is now paying at the
rate of about $3.50 average on
the one hundred dollar valua-
ton. See ?-Alf. Chartz in Gard

RAILROAD TO TONOPAH.
II Is Now Believed that Read VIII Reach
that Camp Before Snow Files.
by freezing


Both of the Tonopah papers
of last week state that Mr.. Lem
mon, who secured a franchise to
run a railroad from Rhodes
Marsh, on the c. & c., to Tono-
pah, from the last Legislature,
has begun construction work,
and that the road will be into
Tonopah before snow flies. The
road is to be narrow gauge for
the present, but a broad gauge
bed and ties will be put in, so
that should the c. & c. be
changed to a broad gauge it will
be but little work to make the
Rhodes Marsh and TonoPah
branch broad gauge. 1t is SAID
that this branch road is to be
constructed with money raised
in the East, but the fact that
General Manager Agler, Division
Supt. X. ]. Laws, P. ]. McGrath,
E. B. Yerington, Geo. 7. Mills,
Graham Laws, ]. M, Fulton and
J.. H. Mcbride, all Southern
Pacific people, went through on
a special yesterday bound south,
would indicate that something
is doing in S. P. circles in regard
to the branch line to Tonopah.
In fact it is strongly limited that
the franchise obtained by Mr.,
Lennon was virtually for the
S. P. Co. 1t is also stated that
the time is close at hand when
the c. & c. will be extended on
south to make connection with
Los Angeles, and that it will
also be broad gagged. The lat
ter act is what the people of this
section desire to see, as it would
be of great advantage to Mason
Valley and all the tributary
country.

WILL BUILD POTATO WAREHOUSE.
Southern Pacific Co, VIII Assist Nevada Potato
Raisers to Preserve Their Products.

NdtScFS 10 rT6SCrNC tHCtF TTOuuCtSs
The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company proposes to soon be-
gin the construction of a ware
house, somewhere on it's line in
California below the frost belt,
which will store from two to
three thousand tons of potatoes.
This action of the company will
enable Nevada potato raisers to
ship their spuds early in the Fall,
before frost, and store all pota-
toes not sold outright. When
sold, the through rate, as it now
stands, will be charged from
Wabuska for all potatoes going
from this section. The rate an it
now stands is % cents per hun
dred to San Francisco. If spuds
are shipped to the warehouse
and there stored for a time be-
tore being shipped to San Fran
cisco, the same rate will apply.
Should the potatoes be shipped
to Chicago aftet storage, the
rate between Wabuska and that
point will apply. The company
will make a small charge for
storage-probably about So per
carload. The establishment of
this warehouse will be a great
advantage to all Nevada potato
raisers and shippers. Producers
do not sell all their crop until
long after freezing weather, and
then they take a great risk OF
the entire shipment being ruined
by frost. Under the new ar
rangement potato owners can
ship all their crop to the ware
house before freezing weather,
and upon order, or sale, ship
from there to the destination OF
sale without any danger of loss
by freezing.

RELOCATION or MINING CLAIMS.
Something Of Interest to all Prospectors and
Clalw Owners.

The relocation of mining
claims by an original claimant,
or by others not before interest
ed is an important consideration
an matter which should be thor
oughly understood by prospect
ors.
If a claimant should discover
that his original filing is defect
i've or that the law has not been
complied with before filing; Or
if he should desire to change his
original boundary lines; or if
the claim should be subject to
relocation by reason of his fail
ure to comply with the assess
ment law, the original locator
his assigns may file an addition
al certificate, provided, however,
that such relocation does not
interfere with or infringe upon
the rights of others existing at
the time of such relocation.
New boundary lines should be
fixed and new monuments plac-
ed, or if old monuments or old
boundaries are used such fact
should be stated in the new ap-
pEcation.
Work previously done by the
claimant or others will not ap-
ply toward annual assessment
work, but the locator must pro-
coed to perform such work as if
it were an original filing.
An abandoned lode or vein
may be thus relocated and the
location perfected by sinking a
new discovery shaft ten feet, or
sinking an old shaft ten feet
deeper than it was at the time
of abandonment.
In the relocation of mining
claims new location stake
should be fixed and the location
certificate on an abandoned
claim, whether the claim was
abandoned by re-locators or
others, should contain a state
ment that the whole or any part
of the new location is located
as an abandoned claim Mining

Powdered aluminum begins to
play an important part in the
practice of the engineer Mixed
with oxide of iron, it can be
fired, and in burning will pro-
duce pure iron at such a temper
allure that it can be used to
unite pieces of iron or steel
such, for example, as the ends of
steel rails. A mixture of pow
dered aluminium and nitrate of
ammonia, called ammonia" is
a valuable explosive, says the
Metal Industry, and is the safest
known. 1t is not subject to ex-
plosion from shock or friction,
nor is it affected, like nitrogly-
cerine, by cold. 1t is fired with
a percussion cap. BY varying
the amount of powdered alumni
mum the strength of the explo-
sive may be varied. The gases
resulting from the explosion are
also said to be harmless. This,
of course, is of great Importance
in mine blasting.

In conversation with Assessor
Randall yesterday he stated that
owing to the fool legislation en-
acted by the last legislature the
county of Lyon will lose about
$2500 IN taxes from the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company.
The legislature tied the Assess
or's hands by eDacting a law
which will throw him out of of
Zee unless he accepts the valua-
ton OF the company's property
as put in by the company. An
other Newlands' legislature and
the small taxpayers will proba-
bly, be made TO pay the entire
amount of the Southern Pacif-
les taxes.

Tiny Princess Has
Gloomy future

PRINCESS ANNA MONICA PA.
The youngest daughter Of Louise
of Tuscany, -eH-crown princess of
Saxony, is a little girl who has sad
time before her. She was born after
her mothers fight with Giron, and
the circumstances of dishonor in
which she was born will inevitably
mar her whole life. At the earliest
possible age. she will be torn out Of
her mothers arms, to be brought up
at the solemn. formal court of Sax
ony. where all human feelings are
Systematically suppressed and crush
ed. Her own brothers and sisters will
look at her with suspicion, her do
mestics will point at her with scorn
as the daughter of the notorious
Louise, and when she grows up, she
will hardly find a royal husband who
will be willing to overlook the stain
on her name. At present, however.
Princess Anna Monica Pia is lively
baby in arms. enjoying life without
presentiment of the fate in store for
her.

veteran he ordered certain passages
of the Bible read by one. another to
open the windows for ventilation, an
other to lead q hymn, and gave In
structions for seating the audience
more compactly. Then, In we'll meas

the three Hebrew children who were
shut up in fiery furnace by Nebu-

to everyday life. When warmed up
to his theme the chnd worked into

dialect of the south, pronouncing

Some phrases which had a peculiar
ring were: "Nebuchadnezzar's con-
temptation did not come as he ex-
pected" I'VE should humidity our
selves and be cody sorry of our
sins" Another statement was: Its
a strange thing to me that the I'M

the Christian can not shout. But you

famous botanist, engaged in the same
occupation. The king was not recog-
nized and after the two had worked
