GOLDFIELD'S
GOOD WORK
This Great Camp Has Paid
$4,000 into the County
Treasury During the Year

Goldfield turned into the county treas
ury about $50, 900 the past year, from
special license taxes. The major part
of this money should naturally come
back to this community for the mainte-
nance of schools, sanitation and fire
protection. But as a matter of fact
the tax is diverted almost wholly to
other p~urposes-to paying salaries OF
county officers at Hawthorne, or to
maintaining the general county govern
ment. AS a result Goldfeld receives
the meagerest benefit for the taxes
paid. Her fremen are unpaid; her
school teachers have received no wages
for some time and the schools must
close unless the commissioners in the
largeness of their hearts, conclude to
let loose a little of the money that be-
longs here. 1t is extraordinary that
such a situation should exist, but per-
haps it is a natural consequence of
being 100 miles from the county seat.
But all this will be rectified when the
county seat is removed 70 Goldfield and
the officials get in closer touch with the
city. -Goldfeld News.

LIVESTOCK
IN NEVADA
Governor Sparks Says There
Will Be Local Market For
at Least Five Years.

In a signed statement to the Carson
News, one Of the best edited news
papers in the land, Governor Sparks
has the following to say of the livestock
interests of the state:
ut is my frank opinion that there
will be a local market for every horse,
mule, beef and pork animal raised in
this state for the next five years. My
reason of offering this interview is this;
The mines of Nevada seem to be mex
haustible- they have shown great per-
manency, and new ones are being dis
covered every day. We are building
railroads everywhere and u territory
is covered with surveying corps from
one end Of the state to the other. The
Western Pacific promises US at least
1000 miles of broad gauge railroad, and
this naturally requires many hundreds
of beef animals. There was never in
the history of this state a better time
to breed and prepare useful animals.
Electric lines cannot be built without
the horse, the mule, the beef and the
hog. They are the bullwarks of the
enterprise, and now is the time to in
crease your herds and your bands of
horses and mules. Produce weight and
quality and you will be repaid for your

FISH BY The TONS.
Lake View Is Being Given Thorough
SEEMING.

Some big catches of fish are being
made these days at the Lake View
preserve, according to George A.
Clark, president Of the association
but the fish in this instance are being
taken out of the lakes with a seine.
They are the sucker" fish, of the
buffalo and carp variety which have
all sorts of designs on the life of the
gamy fish and make it a practice to
gobble uo their sDawns.
Two men have been set to work by
the owners of the preserve to clean
the lakes of these fish pests. They are
working with a seine and have already
taken out between three and four tons
of worthless &sh In one haul alone
they got a thousand pounds of fish.
OF course in gathering in the OBJ
jectionable fish they pick up all kinds
OF channel cat. bass croDpies and
white perch and these are all thrown
back IN the water Some of the crop
pies are of rather giant size for this
breed Of fish, weighing from a pound
to a pound and a half Some bass
have been taken out which would
range in weight from one to seven
pounds.
To cap the climax OF this fish tale it
must be stated that some of the worth
less buffaloes weighed as much as
twenty-five pounds each
