value than any assessment on the

Just what was to become of the rail-
roads was the question. Some figured
that a reduction would be in order,

assessment to the full value. AS the
railroad was there with an attorney

sessment came up. Beard, of Washoe,
moved that the road Central Pacific)

Inc columns OF the News are open

wishes TO classify himself.
The unfail ness of the board Is aptly
illustrated In the valuations placed
upon the Southern Pacific and the Vir-
ginia a. Truckee, the latter being val
ued at over nalf of the former Now
the valuation thus placed on the Vir-
grnia and Truckee may. or may not
be just one, but IL is certain that

COMSTOCK BOOM
DID NOT LAST
Ophir Stock Rose From So. so
to $500, Then Dropped
Back to So 25

San Francisco, Jan. 13.-The Post
says; Last week the long period of
depression in the Comstock market
showed signs Of recovery.
A notable strike in Ophir encourag-
ed investors and a general boom set
in. Ophir stock rose from about $3.50
to over 81 share during the week.
High water mark was reached on Mon
day when So was touched.
This boom in Ophir carried with it
boom in nearly all the other Com
stock shares, Mexican being a good
second. Yesterday prices began to
fall and a stampede set in this morn
ing. Before 10 a. m. Ophir was at
1925. Mexican fell from 1925 yester-
day to s1.40 and even lower.
Best and Belcher lost heavily. An
des dropped from 70 cents to less than
40. So 1T went all along the line. Sew
eral of the least valued stocks fell
still lower. such as Scorpion. which
went from cents to cents per SHARE
All this was at the first session. but
the landslide still continued.
Operators as a genral thing give not
definite reason for the collapse be-
yond an admission that the market
had been overrated and the boom of
last week was an artificial one.
The strike in Ophir Is held respon-
sible for much Of the event. as 1t was
seized upon by the bulls and widely
advertised. leading to over stimula-
tion of the market. which has now
suddenly dropped back to its old stat
us.
