Speaking of This Mining District as
il is To-Day.

A practical mining man can come to
this district and remain for some time
looking over the mining resources. FL
nally he decides to leave in quest of
greener fields thinking that he can find
better Inducements. All right. He
drives overland through Arizona. Utah,
Nevada, Oregon and California. He not
only. visits all the important mining dis
tricts but also branches oil the main
travelled highways into new and unex-
plotted regions. Finally he returns to
the district firm in his belief that this
district contains more mineral and offers
better inducements for both the labor
ing nan and the capitalist than any of
the places he visited.
The above is but an example of one
out of many. This district is no one
mine camp. 1t has a number of good
properties any one of which would make
a good district. Nor is its mineral zone
restricted to a small area. Twenty miles
in a southerly direction, averaging about
twenty miles in width, strongly mineral
lied throughout. What is wanted here
is men with capital, men who have got
practical mining experience and %intelli-
gence, together with judgment to open
up these properties and success is as
sured.
But Phnnix-like this district is bound
to advance until it comes into its own
and Nothing can stop it from getting
there. Seeing is believing. A careful
Investigation will prove that this district
has good, big properties which, if devel-
oped, would make this section a prosper
Gus one and probably as rich as any
throughout the west. Only time alone
can tell what the result will be.

The People be Do.

The contempt of County Assessors for
the laws OF the State Of Nevada is SO no.
torious that something must be done to
check the corruption in practice.
Nevada has a law which requires the
assessors to print and send to each tax
payer a list containing in items the val
uation of all kinds of property subject to
taxation.
The underlying idea Of this law is that
the public shall know how well the as
SCISSORS figures correspond to the true
values. An effort was made last Winter
to repeal this law and go back to the
old law. which merely required the pub
l~ication of a total valuation. This move
failed, but the assessors go on with a
recklessness defying all attempts to reg
ulate their official conduct.
The present law for prohibiting the
assessment roll is a strong corrective on
wrong assessments, but the law is not
carried o.t in several counties in the
State. 1t should be the duty of the
State Board of Revenue to investigate
the assessors who violate this law, as
we'll as all other matters which come un-
der the head of taxes or acts to provide
revenue for the State of Nevada.-Love-
lock Argus.

Hon. H.. r. Bartine's Visit to the
County Seat.

HoE. H. F. Bartine, State Examiner,
representing the State Board of Revenue,
went up to Austin last Thursday and
while there had a conference with the
Lander county officials and an inter-
change of views with reference to the
tax reduction laws Of the last Legislative
session was had. Mr.. Bartine returned
Monday and had a talk with Commits
sioner Lemaire on the subject of taxa
ton.
The main feature OF these laws as ap
piled to counties and towns, is the re-
duction of the tax rate on a graduated
scale.
In counties now having a rate of more
than 81 so on 800 of valuation. exclu-
siye OF the tax for the payment of inter.
est and maintenance OF the sinking fund,
the rate is to be reduced ten cents on
each one hundred dollars of valuation,
until the limit Of 81 so is reached, and
thereafter the reduction is to be at the
rite Of five cents on the hundred dollars
Of valuation until a minimum limit of
fifty cents on the one hundred dollars is
attained. This reduction of the rate is
supposed will lead to a corresponding
increase of assessed valuation. That is
to say the property will be valued high
or, but the rate will be lowered so that
the tax payers burden will not be in
creased any.
The fact that the law does not go into
effect until 1904 will give the officers OF
the various counties opportunities to
canvass the situation thoroughly aud
when the Assessors meet as required by
law early in the year, the valuations can
be SO fixed as to cover any difficulties
which now seem apparent.
In all of these matters the county of
icials will find in Mr.. Bartine a most
willing and able co-adiutor.
The gentleman is on his tour of exam
nation over the State and will visit the
county seat OF zach county and endeavor
to meet the county boards of equaliza-
ton, as well as the Assessor of each
county.
Mr.. Bartine paid the NEvADAN Office a
pleasant visit Monday afternoon and
fully explained the application OF che
new law.
He departed Monday evening on No.
6 for Eureka.

Strike al T0nopah.

One Of the greatest strikes OF high
grade ore ever made in the camp oc-
cured Thursday morning on the $50 level
of the North Star. Thursday morning,
at a distance of 30 feet from the cross
cut, a 2 foot streak OF extremely high
grade ore was opened up. Samples OF
the ore now on exhibition in the window
OF the County Bank are composed
almost entirely of brittle and ruby sill
yer, and will probably assay from $4,000
to 5000. The entire 2-foot streak will
run more than $1,000 a ton. The ore is
identical with that of the rich ledge in
the Mont ana onopah, and there is no
doubt that the North Star has caught
the Montana ledge.-Miner'

First Railroad In Sacramento Valley.

Recently the Sacramento Bee has
been in receipt of a number of letters
asking for information as to the date of
the building of the first railroad 10 the
Sacramento Valley. One correspondent
at Battle Mountain, Nevada, asks The
Bee to give the answer in order to de-
eide bet of 500.
Following is he answer:
The first railroad out OF Sacramento
was the Sacramento Valley Railroad,
running between Sacramento and the
town Of Folsom. The 6rst train was run
over the road on February %, 1856.
THE above should be sufficient to de.
eide all bets and stop all controversies
on this question which has been dis.
cussed so much Of late by soine of our
citizens. The date can also be- relied
upon as Authentic. -ED.l
