The Tallahassee Sun OF October 10th
contains very timely and interesting
article showing the good work OF the
State Auditor. According to The Sun
the State Auditor saved to the coun.
ties during the twelve months ending
June 80, 1905, the sum Of $l4 900, at an
expense Of $3.50.
No report is given by The Sun for
the year ending June 30, 1905, and as
the expenses OF the Office have been
about doubled during that period the
people would like to know II results
have been commensurate Herewith.
The SON says the $4,000 saved the
people was doe TO clerical errors msde
by county officials, which were discov,
cred by the State Auditor upon an ex.
animation Of the books. Well, nov,
what the taxpayers of the counties
would like for the State Auditor to do,
10 to go a little further and make a
thorouRh examination OF the State
offices-especially the tax redemp-
tion department.. In this way he
may save considerably more than $l4,.
O00 to the counties. There lie gem
eral impression that the Comptroller
is not treating the counties fairly in
remitting for lands cold at tax sale
and thereafter redeemed or sold to
purchasers of certificates, and we be-
lieve the complaint is we'll founded.
The State is not now--or at least
should not be--to much expense in the
redemption OF lands, for the great bur-
den in this line has been shifted from
the Comptroller's office to that OF the
clerk Of the circuit court, but no diff
ference lie observable in the proportion
RENTED to the counties.
We will cite one Of many instances
from Alachua county; 10 March last,
Clerk Samuel H. WieDges RENTED to
the Comptroller $1,145. 10 derived from
the redemption and sale OF tax GER
tificstes. OF this sum S277.96 was
principal on years omitted from the
tax books and $500 interest on same. |
On this $3.50 65 the State had incurred |
no expense, bnt of the to-
tai Of sl,145.10 the Comptroller re-
turned to the clerk az the coonty's
only $4Ss.65, notwithstand-
ing that the rate Of taxation for coun-
ty purposes lie about two.thirds that
levied for both State and county.
Now, where is the justice in thisS
And by what mathematical problem
does the Comptroller make the diviS-
lon?
Will the State Auditor kindly inves-
tigate and let the people know7 In
his connection he may save to the
taxpayers OF the counties many times
fourteen thousand dollars.

SHELTER FOR MINERAL HILL
Another of Eureka County's Old
Camps Taking on New Life
Thirty Men at Work.

b. L. Pummer Jr., manager for the
company of San Francisco capitalists
who recently bonded several claims at
Mineral Hill, Eureka County, was in
Eureka on business this week. Mr..
Plummer stated that work on the sew
eral elIims was progressing satisfacto-
rily with a force of 30 men aud the
developments already made justify the
company in putting in a furnace. The
machinery was shipped from San Fran
cisco ON Jan. 10 and is due at Mineral
Hill any day.
The furnace will have a capacity of
so tons and it will be erected just a
little south of the town, under the
supervision Of Charles II. Gage, who
recently put up the antimony furnace
near Lovelock, Humboldt County. q.
L Kennedy, repres ntative Of the
company, has returned from San Fran
cisco and is now It the mines.
The Winnemucca Silver State a few
days ago announced that a smelter was
coming 10 Mineral Hill and sud: This
is only another straw which shows the
trend of events in the history Of one OF
the old mining camps of Nevada, which

surface, from the top of Mineral Hill
in a few years. Mineral Hill is the
center of an enormous mineral area

high grade ore, though on the top oil
Mineral Hill proper there seems tc

The present active operations are being
recognized in Mineral Hill district and
the installation of this plant will pre-
sent to the miners of that section an
opportunity to not only thoroughly test
the value Of their holdings, but will
give some additional return which
will be especially advantageous towards
extensive operations.

WILL PLANT AFRICAN DEODARS
Government to Find Out If Trees Will
Grow on Nevada Desert Lands.

Senator Nixon has induced the Agri.
cultural Department to make extensive
experiments in this State with desert

From a British army officer in Africa
the Department has ordered several
thousand seeds of the Deodar tree and
these will be planted in the Las Vegas
section, Lincoln County. where their
growth will be carefully watched by
the Department officials.
There are millions of acres in Nevada

LIFE ASSURANCES LOSE MILLIONS
Expose of Methods of Big Concerns
Cuts Their Business in Two.

The annual returns OF the life insur-
ance companies, showing the amount
Of their business in the State OF Cali
fornia as filed with State Insurance
Commissioner E Myron Wolfe. show
that the majority Of the companies suf-
fered heavily in their business in that
State last year as a result of the ex-
posture of life insurance scandals in
New York. The heaviest sufferers
were the big corporations Familiarity
known as the giants" which were the
direct object of investigation and scan
DIAL.
The Equitable Life of New York did
a business of 81, 272, $50 in 1904. that is
new business, whereas last year its
total in the State was less than half
that sum. the figures being $3.14s, $50.
The Mutual Life of New York, which
got new business in California in 1904
amounting to So. PA. 499, got only
SO, 500, 5S5 in 1905, which is just a trifle
more than hall its normal business.
The New York Life's new business in
1904 was IS, $50. 099. Last year it fell
to So, 740, 291.
Commenting upon the showings
made by the life insurance companies.
Mr.. Wolfe says: while some of the
smaller companies show an increase, the
bulk of the companies have suffered
heavily. and the only reason for this
condition In face Of the fact that the
year was a notably prosperous one in
all lines of business, is the expose OF
the rottenness of the homogeneous Of
some of the big companies"
