According to the argument the

A GOOD many dollars under the new
tax laws. Now, it is known to be
among the small property owners
instead of the large. and it must
know also by personal experience
tbot it is one of that class that has
becn benefited. In other words, it
knows that nine-tenths of the peo-
plc of the state are small property
owners. 1t also knows that the

thai the wealthy were assessed low.
Take Lee Maxwell for instance. ne
is the Democratic nominee for the
legislature. His assessment has been
increased at the average ratio Tor
the county. Yet he is not what one
would term in the small property
class. for it is known that he has
some five hundred broad acres OF
land. Here Maxwell the well-ro-do

GAS PLANT
Progressing
SERVICE by JANUARY FIRST
NEWEST METHOD OF GEN
GRAFTON EMPLOYED

The Illuminating gas plant being
erected by the Nevada Gas Com
pany is rapidly progressing and by
January 1st the citizens of Tonopah
should be able to light their homes
by gas.
Already the four storage tanks
are in place and the holder nearly
completed. The generator is going
up rapidly as well as the washer
and scrubber. For the purifiers the
foundations only have been laid.
The gas will be generated by
means of the crude oil process.
The generator will be lined with
fire bricks which will, be heated to A.
white Heat by oil and air forced
through by steam. After the prop
er temperature is acquired this sup
ply OF oil and air will be urned on
and through another pipe will be
forced crude oil. The lining of the
generator will be checkered, thereby
breaking the oil into oil and gases.
These parts will pass into the scrub
ber and the impurities separated.
Then passing into the washer as a
further safeguard against impurities.
The lamp black which is the princi-
pal by-product is run off and sub
sequently mixed with oil and used
for fuel for running engine.
From the washer 1t passes to
condenser and the moisture re-
moved from the gas. 1t then passes
on to the holder and from the holder
to the purifiers where the sulphur is
removed by passing the gas through
a mixture OF oxide OF iron. lime and
saw dust. 1t is then pumped to the
storage tanks and stored under SO
pounds pressure.
Before entering the distributing
mains the pressure is reduced to 20
pounds by means of regulators and
a further reduction made at the
house to the usual lighting pressure.
1t is the intention OF the Com
pany to so place its mains that every
body in town can use gas IL they
SO desire.
The capacity Of the plant IL III
600 cubic feet. The construction
work is being done BY the Califor-
mia Light and Fuel Company under
the personal direction OF 8. G. Lowe
Prominent San Francisco men are
back OF the deal.
This style Of gas has been used
very extensively in California and
has met with remarkable success.

a cigarette for quiet smoke before
