the fact that the stores here would ac-

A rumor is circulating among rail-

Dave Palmer, well knowa in this
vicinity, came into Winnemucea dur
ing the week ircm Boyd Basni. He
brought with him several specimens
which are now in the hands of Mr..
Jackson, the assayer, from which as
yet no returns have been made, but
it is estimated to be valuable. Dave
has several claims near the strike in
that section on which are several well
defined lodges traeeable for long
distance.
He states that the road spoken Of
in the issue of this paper of Novem-
ber 7th, 1907, is now completed and
greatly improves the facilities for
reaching the camp. Nearly all the
miners in the district have completed
the erection of cabins for the winter,
and the hotel is now an established
fact, and accommodations can be had
by those arriving in camp.
just before he left Boyd Basin a
prospector by the name of Mclean
reported the discovery of 12-foot
ledge which. it is estimated. will
average about $75 in gold to the ton.
A small stringer gave returns of
$4,000, ut as this is only aout 3
inches in width. conservative esti-
mate of the entire ledge will nndoubt-
edly reach the above amount Mr..
Palmer stated that in the opinion of
many of the mining men in camp this
late discovery will bring forth as rich
property as that reported heretofore

higher. Shipments from the mine
will average better than 81 900 ton.
If we would take sixty days to make
selected shipment / am sure we could
send out carload that would be worth
more money than a carload of ore ever
sold for before, but we can not afford
to do that. The busines would be too
risky
The reason that an option was Civ
en- on the amount of stock mentioned
was, Mr.. Mangum said, because the
owners of it at the time thought it
would be good idea to take sub
stantial profit early in the game.
AS developments progressed, however,
it became more and more apparent
that mistake had been made and
that fact was particularlyemphasized
after a 30-day extension had been
granted Then it dawned on the pur-
chasing syndicate that control ought
to be had if the deal was made and
it was on that point that arguments
were made until the. option expired as
stated.
1t is now as good as settled that
the company will make a shipment
and provide the means for holiday
distribution Of probably 10 cents

HUMBOLDTCOUNTY
HAS LOTS OF
MONEY
COUNTY RECEIVES
SINCE THE LAST TAX
COLLECTIONS $78, ,116.48
Already Has Over .$115,0O0 in the
Bank-No Necessity of Borrow
ing Money Under Such
Conditions

Since the last statement of taxes
was made, Humboldt county will re
ceive $7s,116.4S in tax collections
alone. OF this amount 500, ,56S17 is
from the tax on real estate, $4, 4,476.3l
is from personal property tax collec-
tions and $4,072 is from the poll tax
collections made by the assessor.
These taxes are from the assessed val
uation of the real estate in Humboldt
county, amounting to $5,240,45S and
from the assessed valuation of the
personal property, amounting to
$1,716,359
The total tax on the real estate
amounts to $11s,265.s9. OF this the
state received seven en-seventeenths, or
$4s,697.72, and the county the balance,
500, ,56S.17
In addition to this money received
by the county there are also the IL
censes in all parts of the county
which are turned in monthly as they
are collected by the sheriff. All
licenses are turned into the county
except the gambling licenses, which
are turned over to the respective
towns where they are collected.
By these figures the taxpayer of
Humboldt county can get an idea of
the gigantic income of the county.
In addition to the moneys it is now
receiving, the county has on deposit
in the bank over $l15,000.

LET THE GOVERN.
MENT COIN THE
SILVER

Now the government should have
all the silver bullion which it has
stored at various mints coined and
put into circulation. That would
crease the price Of silver to such a
figure that many more silver mines
be able to operate. There would not
be the inclination to hoard silver like
there is to hoard gold and greenbaeks.
1t would be kept more in circulation
during such a panicky time as the
present. The government has ordered
the mints to proceed to. coin gold as
rapidly as possible, and this will help
some more The $50,000,000 of Pan
anna bonds and the 800, 100000 cer-tifi-
Gates of Indebtedness to be issued by
the government will help some more.

VANS MONKEY GETS OUT

During the early hours of the morn
ing a few of the citizens Of Winnie
mucca were startled to see Oh of The
ape species flying in mid ar from gate
post to tree on the main street If the
city. A good many of the witnesses
viewing this strange sight at first
were under the impression that an
unadvertized circus had passed
through the town during the night
and that in all probability an accident
had taken place, by which this stray
monkey had been permitted to roam
at will.
But these conjectures were soon
proven to be false, as it was noticed
that several employees and friends of
Vans came rushing up the street in
search of the pet monkey, which had
escaped short time before from that
establishment. The animal was quick
ly captured and returned home.

defendant a chance to secure more
witnesses.
The preliminary hearing of H. War
