NATION ABOVE STATE.

OLYMPIA, oct. 25.--This state will
lose $500 inheritance tax On the estate
Of Samuel Walker. who died In Spokane
county, and may lose many thousands,
All because Of treaty negotiated with
Great Britain IN 1900 y John Hay. then
secretary Of state. That year treaty
was made which contained q provision
that EngIishmen IN this country could
devise their personal estate to persons
living in the old country and that no
duties nor charges other than those a.
acted FROM citizens Of this country would
Be exacted. Washington's Inheritance
tax law provides for . rs per cent tax
on all inheritances Of foreigners, and the
state had confidently expected to collect
$500 on the 5000 estate willed by Mr..
Walker to his relatives in England. but
this treaty was discovered. and Tax
Commissioner T. p. Rockwell says y i
higher than the state law, and that the
estate Is exempt under the $4,000 ex-
emption allowed BY, the Law TO state
residents Of bequests. Search Of the
treaties made BY the United States
shows that Argentina, Austria Hungary
and Bavaria probably have similar pro
visions. This will cut down state re-
ceipts Tor Tie Inheritance tax consider
aly. as q great deal Of property has beer
devised to foreign residents.

New System
On Licenses.

Beginning with the new year,
Sheriff Smith will collect licenses
OF every kind at the Office in
Pioche. An official notice will
be mailed to all parties paying a
license of any kind and the re-
mittance of the same will be sent
to Phoebe. This manner of COL
lection has been put into effect
In most all counties in Nevada
and found to be very satisfactory
to all parties concerned. Deputy
Walker will give your letters i'm

Carman's Home
Is Burglarized
Thief Forces Entrance and
Secures AbOnt ZOO
in Valuables

Great care and caution will of
necessity have to be exercised
by our local residents in future.
The sneak theft is about and un-
less great care is taken. rssny
will be the looser. Several petit
thefts have been reported to the
officers of late and one of i'm
portance.
A burglar entered the home
of Postmaster A. A. Carman,
last Wednesday evening, while
ne and his family were attend
ing the Christmas ball and made
away with valuables amounting
to nearly $100. From the work
of the thief, it would seem that
ne understood his business, for
1t seemed to have been executed
IN a very thorough and business
like manner.
The officers have been work.

ent time have no clew. If this
practice is indulged in it might
be we'll for an allowance to be
made out of the town fund for
extra police protection on nights
when people are called away
from their homes such as the
holidays.

New Forms of Application
and Proofs.

New forms of applications for
homestead entry, soldiers addi-
tional homestead entry, desert
land entry and for timber or
stone sworn statements, timber
or stone final proofs, and yearly
proof in desert land cases, have
been adopted, and on and after
March l, 1908, no entries will be
allowed in the class of cases
above mentioned unless executed
upon the new official forms, or
upon forms. which are exact
thereof, both as to
wording, arrangement and size.
Each of said forms is a combina-
ton of the several forms and af-
fidavits formerly required to be
filed in such cases and the use
thereof will result in a saving of
time, labor and expense to the
local land officers, proof-taking
officers and claimants.

Good Showing
On Property
Five Hundred Foot Shaft
On Milwaukee-PiOche
Under Operation.

Quite a scene of activity can
now be witnessed on the prop
erty of the Milwaukee-Pioche
Mining Company. This property
is situate in the Highland Min
ing District and adjoins on the
east, the famous Mendha group.
A force of men was recently put
to work on the ground and the
properties are responding hand
somely in the production of
minerals. 1t is said that one of
the finest showings in the High
land District has recently been
]. B. Wheeler is in
charge Of the work and his long
familiarity with the district and
her different properties gives
ample assurance that the Mil
Waukee-P1oche group will soon
be developed into one of the lead
ing properties in this section.
The work is at present confined
to the sinking of a vertical shaft
This is being done in a system
ATTIC manner and the present
plans include the continuation of
his shaft to a depth of at least
i've hundred feet. When this
shaft will have been completed
cross cutting along the
Tein will be indulged in which
without doubt will bring high
grade mineral in abundance.

Uncover Five
Feet Of Ore
Immense Deposit of High Grade Ore
Uncovered on 800 Foot Level of
Prince Mine

A very important discovery of
high grade ore, was made in
the Prince mine, belonging to
the Prince Consolidated Mining
company, this week. A body of
ore five feet in thickness was un-
covered in the bottom of the
shaft at the three hundred foot
level. This ore is the richest
that has as yet been encountered
on the property, and the man
agement and owners are not
alone elated because Of the ouan-
tity of the ore, but because of
the fact, it demonstrates that
with depth the ore increases in
value.
This body of ore runs well in
silver and lead and carries some
gold. It is characteristic of that
which has been uncovered on
the property right along, but is
much richer, and to uncover ore
of such richness and in such
quantity, was hardly expected in
the most saguine hopes of the
management.
The Prince mine is situated
about for miles in a southerly !
direction from Phoebe. Its ore
is of manganese character and |
heretofore it has been chiefly

Troops Ordered
Withdrawn.

The President has ordered the
withdraw of the Federal troops
from Goldfeld. Many reports
are being circulated as to his
reason for taking this action.
Some advance theory that it
because Of the report submitted
by the lobor Commission sent in
by the President to investigate
conditions. The President in a
message to Governor Sparks
maintained that all the prelimin-
aries required by law, before
federal aid can be asked had not
been complied with and therefor
the troops could not remain.
Governor Sparks deplores the
recalling of the troops and main
tains that, with their presence in
Goldfield is the only means of
maintaing order. Sheriff Ingalls,
In a statement to the Mine
Owners Association asserted that
he felt confident that he was
able to take care of the situation.
The troops are to be taken away

Output Of The
Nevada Mines

AS a producer of the precious
metals Nevada occupies high
place among the States and
Territories of the Union. In
value of gold product the State
is outranked only by Colorado,
Alaska and California, while its
silver output gives it fifth place,
Colorado, Montana, Utah and
Idaho taking precedence.
In 1906, according to statistics
collected by the United States
Geological Survey from the pro-
ducing mining companies, Ne
vada mines yielded $40, 470, ,7O4
in gold, an increase of SIS, 200, 1856
over 1905. The unexpected
heavy output of the Goldfield
mines was 81, 056, 154, an increase
of over SIS, 900, 900 over the pre-
ceding year. The Tonopah dis
trict in Nye county produced
81, 304, GIT in gold, an output not
very different from that of 1905.
Lincoln county furnished in the
Searchlight and DeLamar
(Ferguson) districts an almost
equal quantity of gold. Elko
and Storey are the only remain
ing counties whose output ex-
ceeded 81, 900, 900. Elko in the
northeastern portion Of the State
yielded a considerable output of
siliceous ore from several districts
near or north Of Tuscarora. The
Comstock output was diminished
to almost $500, 900. The product
is obtained almost wholly from
siliceous ores of high average
grade. The placers contribute a
value Of only about $50, 900. An
increase in the gold product of
Nevada for 1907 seems probable.
The silver output was 6, ITO, Gil
ounces, Gan increase of 288, $50
ounces which is pretty evenly |
distribution corresponding to the
general increase in mining
activity. Only the Comstock
mines in Storey county show a |
decline. The Fairview district
changed the insignificant output
of Churchill county (including |
Douglass) to nearly 200, 1000
ounces. The Tonopah district is
still the principal producer, with
s, 697, 928 ounces. Of the total
output 6,5OO,OOO ounces were
derived from siliceous ores. The
remainder came chiefly from
lead ores. .-Tonopah Miner.
