VALUABLE LOTS
SOLD FOR
TAXES
CoIdfieId Residents Neglected
to Pay-Property Sold to
Two or Three Sharp Ones.

The discovery has just been made at
Goldfield that over 200 town lots in
Columbia and Goldfeld some of them
among the most valuable in the camps,
have been sold for delinquent taxes at
Hawthorne. The owners. ignorant OF
the law in the matter, had overlooked
the payment of their taxes and whole
sale election suits will be brought this
week
1t is estimated that the property in
vowed is worth s2OOOOO. although the
lots ONLY sold for trifle over $1,000. just
enough to pay the delinquent taxes that
rad accumulated.
Steps have been taken by the fright
ened property owners to resist the suits.
of the delinquencies was not made in a
paper of general circulation, the adver-
tisements having been printed at Haw.
thorne. few copies of which have ever
reached Goldfield.
The bulk of the sales were made. it
seems, last spring, and the main buyers
were Mrs. Fapp of Columbia. R. Stew

Hawthorne lawyer. Demand for posses
sion is being made by the holders of
the tax deeds
Property owners at Goldfield are
greatly incensed over the affair They
claim that notice of the sales should
have besn printeo in a local paper and
a.lege that a conspiracy was formed to
dispossess them of their holdings. Many
say they will never vacate. but viii
hold their lots by force If necessary. A
public meeting has been called to raise
funds to fight the proceedings in eject
ment.

along the stream complained of scar
city of fish and of the fish not rising
to grab a fly on account of the muddy
water. He also testified that the stom-
achs of the fish caught since the mills
started often were In a very bad con-

WlNNEMUcCA REDIvIUS-
LET US BE PROGRESSIVE

Winnemucca is more than being re-
fire traps, so long a menace to health
and a barrier to enterprise, is being
filled with modern structures of iron,
stone and brick, which will furnish
healthy and convenient places in which
to transact the increasing business o.
the growing city. The old rates of in
surance. SO burdensome and distressing
will be 4, thing of the past in the new
district for there business can hereaf-
ter be transacted with such safety from
fire that many will doubtless elect to
carry their own insurance; while such
as insure will not be required to pay a
premium to exceed two per cent. IN
stead of ten per cent, the rate demanded
before the fire. The new order of thing
is largely due to the wise and prompl
estab .ishing fire limits and prohibiting
the construction of the old-time shack;
for while doubtless many of the busi-
ness men desired to rebuild in brick.
there were others who would not have
hesitated to again endanger the town
by the erection OF cheap wooden build
ings.
But there is one more thing for the
Board to do, and now is the time to do
it; this is to prohibit the erection or
maintenance of the old. viie-smelling
disease-breeding sump toilet. and the
prohibition should be made to extend to
the who.e town. Long before the fire,
which was the great and only purifier.
the alleys in the neighborhood of the
fire district were. and still are in other
places. lined with these ancient abomi-
nations; and the alleys besides were and
are used as dumps for the deposit and
accumulation of every character of in
describable filth. The ground is clean
now in the fire area for the first time
in the history of the town, and should
be kept so. The public streets and a.
leys can be kept clear Of such nuisances
by the laws at present on the statutes
If enforced; but the old-time back house
can only be restrained by ordinance. In
all the modern towns of the world.
where a more perfect system of sewage
is not established, the sump toilet has
been abolished by law. The place o.
the old toi ct has been filled by a san
itary earth closet, which Is cheaply con-
all the disagreeab'e, we might say re-
voting. features Of the old style. This
has been found necessary as a sanitary
measure in other places and is neces-
sary here This necessity. and the duty
to observe all things necessary, and to
prohibit all things offensive to the pub
lie welfare or dangerous to the public
health. brings the question from a legal
standpoint. fully within the authority OF
the County Commissioners. and there is
little doubt. judging from the prompt
action of the Board in establishing fire
limits, but that this question II properly
brought before the Commissioners will
receive prompt and efficient treatment.
The fire ordinance estab ished conf
dence; go farther and establish cleanli-
ness and decency. We are going to
have big town; let II be made clean,
