last October and they lay east oi
Walker lake The old Nadsworth road
which extends north from Lunning
goes through the midst Of this porphyry
belt For the past six months Lee and
Cutting have been prospecting the re-
gion, making locations, completing de-
work. and doing extensive
sampling. In May Il claim adjoining
their property on the south gave assay
results as high as $3.50 in gold and silver,
and in June four westerly claims claims
gave better results.
The importance Of the rich discovery
telegraphed by Mr.. Lee rests partly in
the fact that the district Is but a short
distance from the Carson and Colorado
railroad, and that ore worth only $20 a
ton can be hauled at a large profit. Il
is estimated that the mining. hauling.
freighting and reduction OF the ore can
be done at a cost not 10 exceed $l5
ton.-Tonapah sun.
The above property is ten miles south
OF the Margin mine owned BY Fallon
parties, who are iubilant over the fact
that such a promising property should
be discovered in their district. 1t will
aid in attracting capital to the Eagle
vile section, which will be followed BY
development, as there can be no doubt
OF the worth OF the various properties
already discovered there

TAXES.
Churchill County Values Show
Large Increase Over
1904. t
Roll Will Approximate Nearly
Two Million Dollars.


County Assessor J. c. Lofthouse and
deputy, G. w. Black are busily engaged
in copying the tax roll, which will be
submitted to the honora BILE board Of
commissioners at their regular meeting
next Monday. Values show a very per
eeptible increase, and it is estimated
that the total value OF real and personal
property in Churchill county will ap-
proximate nearly two millions Of dol
lars. an increase of nearly hall million
over the assessed valuation OF last year.
This raise in property values is all di-
rectly or indirectly attributable to the
irrigation project now under course Of
construction.
Under the law passed by the legisla-
ture of 1903, regulating the leyylng
taxes, Churchill county taxes must o.
necessity be lowered ten cents on eacl

Among the specific objects named In

The grange idea originated with O.
H. Kelley, Minnesota farmer en-
ployed in the bureau OF agriculture.
When he was travelling in 1866 through
the south obtaining information for the
bureau In regard to agricultural con-
ditions it occurred to him that secret
society of farmers might prove as ben.
eficial to them as tn, iasonic order is
to its members. VIII ( he returned to
Washington he broacl ed the matter to
six friends. On Dec. 4, 1867, with
Mr.. Kelley, these six men organized
the grange: William Saunders. Rev.
A. b. Grosh, W. NJ. Ireland, Rev. John
Trimble and j. r. Thompson of Wash
ington and L. NJ Mcdowell. a horH-
cuiturist of Wayne. n. Y. Besides
these Miss Caroline Hall, Mr.. Kelley's
niece. is now generally classed among
the founders because she suggested
some of the most important features
that have contributed to the success
of the grange, among them extension
of membership to women. Mr.. Kelley
and Miss Hall are now the only sur
vivors of the founders.

1,t says: II is estimated that under
the bill now before the legislature to
tax all anthracite coal mined FIVE
cents ton and all bituminous two
cents an additional revenue for the
state of 81, 500, 900 a year would be
realized. 1t is proposed that tw :
fifth of this shall go to the public
schools, two-fifth to the construction
of good roads and one-fifth to min
ers' relief association.
These are most worthy purposes;
but what would be the effect of the
coal tax? 1t is the evident theory Of
those who favor it that it would be
a tax on the mining corporations or
would be largely paid by consumers
outside the state. 1t can be taken
for granted that the tax will not fall
upon the corporations. Whatever
amount is imposed will be added to
the price of coal in the market, and
it is not improbable that advantage
would be taken of the opportunity
to make the Increased price even
more than the tax So far as an
thracite Is concerned the burden
would probably fall pretty evenly
upon consumers inside and outside
the state. 1t would be so much more
per ton to whomsoever bought and
sold and used it.
The conditions are different re-
specting bituminous coal. That is
produced in many other states and
there is sharp competition in the
markets. A tax imposed by this
state could not be added to the cost
to purchasers outside the state with
out putting Pennsylvania corpora
tions at a disadvantage with those Of
other states. But the tax would
have to be paid, and as it could not
we'll be added to the price of coal
sold out OF the state it would have
to come out of the miners, wages or
out of the purchaser within the state,
and in that event the tax would
amount to many times more than
two cents ton TO Pennsylvania con
sumers.
There is, of course, no intention of
having the tax work that way, hut
taxes will not act upon theories;
they are purely practical If the
proposed tax could be imposed upon
the mining corporations, and upon
nobody else, it would be Immensely
popular, but such would not be the
case. Every dollar paid by the cor
porations would he taken out of con
sumers, and out of pennsylvania
consumers in cases where there is
competition in the outside markets.
which would make 1t impossible to
add anything to the price,of coal in
such markets.
