No Bounty for
Sinking Wells

Al ,rney-Genera Stoddard has filed
an opinion regarding the payment of
bounty by the Stale of Nevada for the
sinking of artesian wells in the State
and declares that the act providing a
bounty for the same is unconstitu-
tional.
Some time ago a man in Lincoln
County sank an arteSian we'll in an
arid district there. and when he had
obtained a good flow OF water asked
the State for the bounty. as provided
by law The matter was placed in the
hands of Controller EggerS. who not
believing that the warrant could pe
issued put the matter in the hands OF
the Attorney General, who rendered
his decision yesterday. IN his decl
sion the Attorney-General expresses
.:.e opinion that the bounties provld
ed for that purpose have lapsed and
reverted to the General Fund in the
ate Treasury. and that the Acts re
