State News

Lou Henderson of Elko, and
formerly warden of the state
penitentiary, has been appointed
to the position of state auditor
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of the late Nate Rolf.
The last report of the late
Nate Rolf, state auditor, created
quite a sensation. in that it con-
tanned the startling statement
that in the state of Nevada there
is about 1900 United States liquor
licenses collected, while there
are only about HOO state licenses
collected. From figures con-
tanned in the report it is shown
that the state is losing nearly
$35, 600 annually from this source
alone. The attorney general
has taken the matter up and will
make a thorough examination.
Congressman George A. Bart
lett has announced that as soon
rs congress convenes he will in
troduce a special act providing
chat assessment work need not
De done on mining claims this
year as required by the federal
statutes. This was done in 1893
and Bartlett believes that such
an act is required now. The
annual assessment work required
is 500 worth on each claim. =

Postal Business Increasing.

All the departments of the
government except the census
bureau which follows a mathe-
NAUTICAL system first introduced
by Methusehh unite in saying
that Nevada is on the up grade
with the swiftest kind of a

The bureau of statistics show
that Nevada's output of gold
has increased abnormally in

But the most striking testi-
monial of all regarding the great
improvement in the fortunes of
Nevada, comes the postoffice
department. The blue book of
that branch of the government
shows that the number of post

by rs per cent in the past two
years.
