INCREASE IOWA RAILROAD TAX
Total Taxable Value for Year 1906 10
$62,289,75.

Des Moines, lathe executive
council, which filed its report the 9TH
er day, has increased the assessment
Of railroad property in Iowa $4,099,-
$50, making the total taxable value
for 1906 62.2S9,775, as compared with
S5S, 190,1S9 in 1905 and $47,071,25S in
1901, the last year of the administra-
ton of Gov. Shaw. During the adj
ministration of Gov. Cummins the ex-
scutive council has found the rail-
roads of Iowa to have increased in
actual value $6O,S64, 06S.
The increase in taxable value by
the sum of $4,099,5S6 means an in
creased annual tax payment of $143,-
1856. Most of the increase falls on
the big trunk lines which reported
enormous growth in gross and net
earnings for 1905 as compared with
1904. The chief increase in the tax
able value assessment falls on the:
Burlington and Northwestern and
Milwaukee, whose assessment is
about $1,000,000 per road greater.
Other roads assessments are increas-
ed from 100000 to 100000. The in.
creases are based on increased assess
ment per mile, mileage this year be-
ing the same as last.
The Minneapolis e st. Louis as
sessment was decreased about $685.
1872, but this was the only decrease
If Importance. The interurban lines
we're assessed $3S,536 higher than
last year, making their total taxable
value $457, 299.

This movement for the intro
duction of agriculture into the
schools seems to be sane reac-
ton timed to meet great need.
AS matter of fact there is no
dearth of agricultural knowledge.
The work done by the United
States Department of Agriculture
is good in quantity and quality,
but it does not reach the farmer
as a class. The same may be said
of the work of our agricultural col
leges and training schools. There
is needed a connecting link be-
tween the work done by these
and the people for whom it is
done, if it is to be made generally
available. The farmer lacks not
so much in intelligence along
these lines as in interest. The

proves up all right. A stage now
runs from Yerington to Buckskin
daily, Rolly Baker being proprie-
tor Of the line, and stage also
runs from Wabuska to the new
camp. The fare from Yerington
is s., or IS for the round trip.
Probably over one hundred
claims have been staked out in
the new district, and from Mr..
Kennedy and Messrs. F. B. Burke
and ]. E. Mclaughlin, who were in
Yerington Tuesday, we obtained
the following information regard
ing the prospects of the district:
Float rock is found over a large
area, say seven miles by four in
width, and assays from s. to $40.
The main ledge of the district,
which is called the Red Top, is
about forty feet wide, and the av-
erage assay is $37.2o, while fifteen
feet of the ledge is said to show
assays averaging $50. A sampling
of the ground for distance of
eleven hundred feet in length and
six hundred feet in width, taking
in smaller parallel ledges, gives an
average value by assay of $IS.
Up to the present time very little
development work has been done,
owing to the inability to get the
proper equipment for working the
claims. Arrangements are now
being made, however, to sink a
shaft on the main ledge, and this
work has probably been started
ere this.
A great many Goldfeld, Tono-
pah and Manhattan mining men
have visited the district in the past
two weeks, and a number of them
have located claims, bought town
lots and otherwise become inter-
ested. The great majority of
them are loud in their praise of
the new district, but a few, natur-
ally, as in every new camp, see no
merit in the district, or at least,
say so.
1t has always been the policy of
the TIMES to be conservative re-
garding its mining news, and it
will continue so to do. If the boys
have what they expect, and
the surface showing indicates
that they have, the new
camp will be one of the greatest
in the State. There are some ex-
cellent prospects in the new dis
trict and development work is
very likely to open up one or two,
if not more, paying mines. The
formation of the country is such
that there should be gold there,
but, as in every camp, it will take
time and work to demonstrate that
it is there in sufficient quantities
to make great and permanent
camp.
