4 RULING OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE
Was Made Today by the Supreme
Court. Dcsision Places Esmer-
aldy County on Cash Basis

The Supreme Court today III an
elaborate opinion written by Judge
Sweeney and concurred i'll by the
whole Court, affirmed the action Of
the County Board OF Equalization OF
Esmeralda County in raising the valua'
ton of the property Of the Southern
Pacific railroad in that county S4S9,.
$50. This is one of the largest raises
ever made in this State on any prop
erty after it had been assessed.
The opinion is one of the most i'm
portant and far reaching decided by
the Supreme Court in years, covering
as it does every phase OF assessment
and taxation as applied in Nevada to
all kinds of property.
The opinion holds that all property
in Nevada on the first Monday in
March of each year and all property
Of every description which comes in
eXistance from within or without the
State during the first Monday in
March and the first Monday in Sep.
tember is subject to taxation for that
year.
1t holds also among many other
points decided that the lem for taxes
attaches to all property which comes
into the State during the first Monday
in March and first Monday in SepIem.
ber Immediately when the property
js assessed
The opinion will mean a big raise
in valuations running into millions
when the entire States property is
raised, but will mean a corresponding
lowering of the rate.
If the Assessors do their duty as
defined by the Supreme Court, Ne
vada's valuation on it's property will
be raised over hundred of millions
Of dollars and will allow the reduc
tion of a low rate; this will be as
things should be and will put Ne
vada in a better light before the out
side world, showing her resources of
to great advantage and giving the
capitalists a low rate of taxation
which is always a great lnducemen
to investing capital.
1t is said that the taxes due from
this judgment will put Esmerald
County on a cash basis for the frs
time in it's history

of a ten pound lard bucket they sue
ceeded in throwing about the room

from the classes by the principal and
it is now up to the trustees of this

some time ago the pupils of the

purchased by the former principal

of pupils. A small balance was left

limited room for the accommodation
of the guests and was received with
considerable protest by the scholars.
Threats were made that there would
be something doing before the affair
came off and the work of last night
was the result.
1t is regretable affair. especially
wnen the destruction Of the property
is taken into consideration and the

TOMORROW NIGHTS PLAY

The play deals chiefly with the
fortunes Of the heroine, a young
eastern girl. of good birth and lineage
who by the untimely death OF her /
mother, is left to the care and guild
ance OF highly educated but drunken
father, who, by the force of circum-
stances, has drifted out on the tide
OF destiny into the mining regions of
esses one great distinguishing virtue
-filial love and she bends all the
energies OF her nature to the reclama
tion of her father from his besetting
vice, and incidentally prospecting for
gold to retrieve the shattered fortunes
of the family. 1t seems that her
father, who is practicing physician
has, by some means, become possess
ed of mining claim, which was gen
orally supposed to be worthless, but
which in reality was very valuable
This fact becomes known to the vii
lian of the play, who takes advantage
of the doctors drunkenness to pur-
chase his claim for mere trif1e. Just
as this transaction is completed, the
heroine, who has been prospecting
| bearing quartz, specimen of which
she takes to an assayer, young man
with college education, who has be-
come desperately enamored OF her,
! he subjects it to chemical test and dis
! covers that it is unusually rich, assay
! ing four hundred dollars to the ton
From the foregoing facts a number
OF complications arise, but in the de-
nOuement everything ends happily.
The sale of the claim to the william is
proved to be fraudulent Cne and the
property is restored to the righttul
owner-the doctor is reclaimed-"The
