NANNY" Pleasant Is Dead.

O@
NANNY" Pleasant is dead. The
aged colored woman who was the friend
of Sarah Althea Hill in her famous at
tempt to grove herself the wife OF the
late Senator Sharon Of Nevada, and
who for many years exercised a grim
influence over the household of the late
Thomas Bell, died at the home of
Lyman M. Sherwood at San Francisco
on Jan. IL, aged SO years. Mrs. Pleas.
ant went through the insolvency court
a few years ago, yet she was generally
credited with possessing considerable
means. 1t is doubtful, however, that
she left any estate, though at the time
of her death she wa engaged in law
suits for the recovery Of the diamonds
and the estates of Thomas Bell, all of
which she stoutly declared rightfully
belonged to her, and not to his widow
and children. She employed Gam
Davis of Carson City, Nevada. t. prose-
cute these actions for her and decided
all she had to him, even making a will
in his favor. A few days before she
died she gave her power of attorney to
the Sherwoods, with whom she resided.
SO if she has left anything there is
likely to be litigation over her property.

Fifty years ago every town in Corn
wall was a busy and prosperous center
of mining industry. The copper and
tin mines employed thousands of men,
paying NOR than 100000 per month in
wages. To-day less than fifty mines
throughout the county are working.
and only five of these are on full time
and paying a profit. The st. James
Gazette announces that American en-
terprise and capital within a year will
set every mine busily working. 1t
says that New York and Chicago fnan-
ciers are amalgamating the mines into
a trust. The ground has been COM
pletely covered by their surveyors. and
it is expected that within a year the
whole mining industry Of the county
will be in American hands.

After next May a train will run from
Paris, France, to Pekin, China. 1t will
go by way of Berlin, Germany. and
Warsaw, Russia, and will occupy seven
teen days in the journey. 1t will make
regular trips starting every other day or
oftener from each end of the line. At
least this is the plan of the companies
interested and it is improbable that the
projected arrangements will be changed
except in case of serious war difficulties.
The Chinese are taking with much
kindness to railways, and this train is
to be a notice to all ire world that the
Empire is open.

A Denial.

The Carson City News of Jan. II
says:
A member of the State Board Of AS
SCISSORS desires the News to call atten-
ton to the incorrectness of the state
ment made by a contemporary that the
Board unanimously adopted the present
valuation upon the track of the Central
Pacific.
The Assessors who opposed the new
valuation of the Central Pacific were

Z. L. KELSEY, President.

Why does the Alexandria Mining
Company of Detroit, Michigan, publish
an annual statement of receipts and ex-
penditures in a paper printed in the
State of Nevada?
Because it is a foreign corporation do
ing business in the State of Nevada,
and to comply with the Nevada State
laws.
Does the above statement show where
in Nevada the Alexandria Mining Com
pany is doing business?
Not at all. A reader would presume
it was in Eiko County.
The Alexandria Mining Company of
Detroit, Michigan, OWNS A GROUP
OF CLAIMS ON PROSPECT MOUNT
AIN IN EUREKA MINING DIS
TRICT, EUREKA COUNTY, and as
some work is being done on the prop
ecty under a lease, it is surmissd that
the above statement has reference to
the property III Eureka County.
In publishing its annual statement in
Elko County, where it is not known to
have any property or interests, IN
STEAD OF IN EUREKA COUNTY,
WHERE IT is OPERATING, the
Company is complying with the law
March 81. 1901, because there is no
DAILY NEWSPAPER published in
Eureka County. And for that matter,
1t, or any other foreign corporation that
may be operating wholly within Eu-
reka County. may publish its annual
statement way over in Storey County.
The law in parts as follows:
Section /. All foreign corporations
doing business in the State of Nevada
shall during the month of January of
each year publish a statement of their
last years business in SOME DAILY
NEWSPAPER in the State of Nevada
for a period of N week.
Sec. 2. The Secretary of the COM
pany publishing the statement shall file
a copy with the several ASSESSORS Of
the State of Nevada.
Sec. 8. Any corporation coming within
the provisions of this Act who shall
neglect, or refuse, to file q statement as
required by Section 1 of this Act, shall
be liable to a penalty of 500 for each
month that the published statement re-
mains unified with the several AS
SCISSORS of the State.
The SENTINEL has contended from
time to time, still maintains, and en-
phatically declares that the above law
is an Act which turns from the proper
purpose the object-PUBLICITY TO
THOSE MOST CONCERNED - for
which there was found a necessity to
compel foreign corporations to publish
annual statements.
1t is a piece of legislation that was
iobbied through the Legislature by a
few slick g~rafters in the western part of
the State that the DAILY NEWS
PAPERS MIGHT USURP THE
POWER OF THE WEEKLIES, and
take away a patronage hat rightfully
belongs to them.

BOARD OF ASSESSORS MEETS.
Fixes Valuations on Cattle, Sheep
and Railroads..

LIN 0NhtO CN
Carson City last Monday. A full Board
was present and Governor Sparks pre-
sided. After the opening preliminaries
of the session, q recess was taken until
Tuesday.
When the Board met Tuesday the
question of assessing cattle was taken
up, and occupied the morning session.
| After discussion the old valuation on
cattle and sheep was adopted. The
schedule is as follows:
Beef cattle, s25.
Stock cattle, ST per head, except in
Esmeralda, Lincoln, Nye and White
Pine Counties, there to be SIS.
Sheep, 81. so.
Bucks, So.
After this was disposed of recess was
taken until the afternoon.
The Board reassembled, and railroad
assessment was the order of business.
Assessor Beard of Washoe County
moved that the Central Pacific Railroad
be raised $500 per mile. The motion
was put to a vote. and was carried
unanimously.
The other railroads were then gone
over, and after considerable discussion,
the following adjustment of valuations
was agreed upon:
Central Pacific Railroad-Main line,
$15, 900 to $15, 500 per mile; side tracks.
$4,000 to 5000.
Virginia g. Truckee Railroad-Main
line, $4,000 t o $3.50; side tracks, $2500.
Nevada. California g. Oregon Rail-
road-Main line, $2700; side tracks,
$1,000.
Carson & Colorado Railroad-Main
line, $4,000 to $1,000; side tracks. $3.50.
Eureka & Palisade Railway Main
line, $1,000; side tracks. $1,000. I'm.
changed.
Nevada Central Railroad-Main line,
$3.50; side tracks, 500.
San Pedro & Los Angeles Railroad
Main line, $4,000; side tracks, $500.
Unchanged.
"This,' says the Carson Appeal,
''closed the business of the meeting,
and it was adjourned for the term"
The fact of the State Board of AS
SCISSORS completing the work of fixing
the valuation of all the taxable property
in the State Of Nevada in the short
space of two days, and for which the
lawmakers provided ten days, suggests
the question:
How much work did the Assessors of
Nevada leave undone?
The Carson City and the Reno papers
say that valuations were fixed on cattle,
sheep and railroads. But hat was
done with the other classes of property
specifically mentioned in the very first
part of Section ] of the law approved
March 13, 1908 ? as follows:
Section /. The County Assessors of
the several counties of this State shall
meet for a period no exceeding ten days
in the Office of the Governor at Carson
City, Nevada, on the second Monday in
January in each year, and shall at such
meetings establish a valuation through
the State of
All railroads and rolling stock of such
railroads;
Of all telegraph and telephone lines;
Of all electric light and power lines;
OF all cattle and sheep;
And upon all other kinds of property
which in the Judgment of said Assessors
can be valued and assessed more uni
formly by said Assessors, acting collec-
lively, than by the several County As
SCISSORS acting separately; provided, that
in fixing such valuation the location
and situation of such property shall be
considered; etc.. etc.
