BULLION TAX
TROUBLES IN
FAlRvIEW
NEVADA HILLS MINES RETURNS
WERE NOT GIVEN TO THE
COUNTY ASSESSOR.
WAR TO KNIFE AND KNIFE TO Hit
"A Tax That Should BE Paid More
Cheerfully Than Any Other
Imposed.

A Fallon dispatch says: The coun-
ty assessors are making an investi-
cation into the bullion report of the
Nevada Hills Mining company, the re-
suit of which may be marked by SEN
sational features.
County Assessor Judd Allen and
Deputy J. H. Wilson have returned
to Fallon after spending a week in
the Wonder and rairview mining dis
tricts making up valuations for the
assessment roll.
They found that the last computa-
ton made by the management of
the Nevada Hills and turned over to
them was not in keeping with the re-
ported net earnings of the company,
on which they had three times de-
clared dividends to the stockholders.
Each of these dividends was $75, 900,
or 1922 900 in all.
The company has substituted re-
port showing the total receipts from
ores from January / to June l to
have been $97,901.02, leaving a bal
ance of only 500, 57O.16, the bullion
tax on which, at the rate of $1.79,
amounts to $529.29. The bullion tax
paid by the company on its total
earnings during 1906 was $1,000.
The assessors are at loss to rec
ognizeereportfi. Omad. .p?beinGmfroP
oncile the two statements-th made
for the assessment and that for the
stock holders-on which latter $225,-
900 in dividends have been paid.
A heavy penalty is provided for
misrepresentation in reports of cor
porations made for assessment. The
county authorities have reported the
discrepancy to the state board of as
sessment, requesting that they make
an investigation.

THE OLD CAMP
OF PIOCHE
IN GOLD ORE
EVERY SECTION OF NEVADA is
COMING OUT INTO THE
LIMELIGHT.
The LEAST SIDE" SHOWING UP
Everywhere That IL Pick Is Thrown
Into The Ground Mineral Has
Been Discovered.

The Phoebe Record says: We learn
from what is considered very reliable
authority, that very rich strike of
gold ore has been made on the Daily
East claim belonging to the Lincoln
Nevada Mining company. The COM
pany recently started the enlarge
ment of their shaft, increasing the
size one compartment, and after at
tanning a depth of about thirty-one
feet with the new work, the ore body
was found. 1t is of a free gold bear
ing character and some of the speci-
mems exhibited fairly sparkle with
the precious metal.
This mine is developing into one
of the richest gold propositions in
this section. And so well have the
ore bodies increased in size, that the
management have decided to build
stamp mill. This work will be
rushed with all possible speed after
the shaft has been enlarged and the
necessary machinery installed for the
proper care of the ore. A Car load
of lumber recently arrived on the
ground consisting of mining timbers
and building material. Potter Bros.
who are now remodeling the Thomp-
son Opera house, have the contract
for the erection of the buildings and
will soon commence work. They in
tend building an engine house, black
smith shop and other necessary
buildings for the operation of the
mines.
The east side is attracting consid-
cradle attention in mining way
these days and will rank with the
foremost in the production of bull
lion when work, now absolutely nee
essary, has been completed.

e. A. Marsh, who has been spend
ing several days in Hamilton, has re-
turned and brings with him one of
the most interesting relics of the
early days.
Mr.. Marsh has the old telegraphers
key and sounder used in the trans
mission of the now famous old tele-
gram, which is reproduced above,
and which had as much or more to
do with the demonstration of silver
as any other one circumstance, and
perhaps more. The sounder is mount
ed on small cast-iron frame, and
it's wire coils show that time has
been at work on them. The brass
in the sounder is corroded and can
no longer record the Morse dots and
dashes for either paper tape ma
chimes or even for the quick ear of
the present day operators. The old
key is closed for ever, but it is val
liable as a relic in being the instru-
ment used to convey the important
dispatch to the seat of government.
Some time previous to the year
10, when the discussion was going
on in congress about silver and the
argument had been advanced that
the United States and the world had
too much of it for silver to any long
err occupy prominent place in our
monetary system, old Hamilton was
Just humming Almost pure sill
yer in a native state was being taken
out of Treasure Hill and everything
pointed to the greatest silver pro-
ducing section the world had ever
seen. Shortly after that the Eber-
hart company made another and rich
er strike than any that had yet been
discovered and Nevada was wild with
excitement.
The news caused the world to put
on it's thinking cap and set the nerves
of the Sound money" advocates to
throbbing like an aching tooth. 1t
started the tongue of the financial
world to wagging as it never had
wagged before, with the result that
the silver dollar lost its standing and
was dropped from the '73 coinage
act and the "crime of '73" had been
accomplished. A year or two after
that the murdered" were strewn
about in every camp in Nevada; the
hush of the hammer and drill; the
closing down of many reduction
mills; the abandoned dumps; all
told the story, and look in whatever
direction you might. one could read
the wrecks of the silver industry on
every hand.
Mr.. Marsh values these old instru-
ments very highly and says that
money will never cause him to part
with them. The little "ticker is
certainly a curiosity and one that
Mr.. Marsh can exhibit twenty years
from today with more interest than
at present for, like wine, cit will i'm
prove with age"

GOLDFIELD LEAS.
ERS HUNTING
"PAY STREAK
WHEN ONE COMPANY DISCOVERS
RICH ORE 1T STIMULATES
THE OTHERS
PENN-FLORENCE CAUGHT LEDGE
The Baby-FIorence Is Reported As
Standing a Chance of "Catch-
ing Onto The LEDGE"

The Goldfield Chronicle says: The
leasers down in the fiat on the do
main of the Florence-Goldfield Min
ing company, are humping them
selves for the big Jumbo-Florence
ledge, which has been discovered, y
and alreary have dreams of wealth
to come. 1t is safe to say, however,
that they will be very careful not to
transgress any of the rules and regu-
lations set down for them by the
company, and to get their extensions
before they get the high grade.
The excitement was started by the
Penn Florence, commonly known as
the Winston lease, which has block
on the Cornishman claim adjoining
the Bee fraction. In this lease the
big ore channel referred to and
known locally as the Jumbo-Florence
lead, and which is said to course
through the country about fifteen de-
grees east of north, was tapped re-
Gently and drifting has opened up a
shoot of picture ore which is said to
compare favorably with any thing the
old Florence has yet produced, not
barring either the Reilly or the Little
Florence.
The Penn-Florence caught the
ledge amidships on the 250-foot level,
and is now dropping down the shaft
to get under the shoot of ore. All
the neighbors are drawing lines on
their maps, swinging the ledge here
and there, much after the fashion
of the neighbors of the Little Flor
ence, lover beyant the hill"
The Baby Florence, operating the
old Peer-Pugh lease, and the Queen
Florence, seems to stand a good
chance of getting the big assure, and
the latter should pick it up pretty
quick on it's dip from the 2S5-foot
level. They are going after it, too,
Just as fast as three shifts can do the
work, with less than forty feet to
travel.
The circumference expects with
apparently good reason to find the
ledge in the southeast corner of its
block, and will also be favored by the
dip, the vein pitching a trifie toward
the setting sun.
Deeper down the Florence Leasing
and Mining company should be ia
vored with a slice of the pay shoot.
Tom Lockhart, manager of the Flor
ence mine, of which hehas had charge
ever since the Wingfield crowd found
the first ore in their lease, in what is
now known as the company shaft,
has great faith in that part of the
Florence ground, and declares that
the Penn lease undoubtedly has the
big lead.

A Boston capitalist who has Gre

1.-THE administration has started a
wave of hysterical prejudice against
corporate interests from the Atlantic

not stop if desired to. 1t is a coun-
terpart of the Granger agitation in

organization of two immense water
power propositions, but 1 have
shelved them for twelve months for

to attempt to finance any new propo-

WALKER LAKE
ATTRACTING
MONIED men
EASTERN CAPITAL TAKING HOLD
AND PROPOSES TO MAKE
DISTRICT PRODUCER.
DR.. 5. c. SANGREE A PURCHASER
Looking After Ground in the Gen.
ter of the Dutch Creek
Placer Country.

A Walker Lake correspondent of
the Reno Journal says of that dis
trict:
Interest at the present time in
Walker Lake reservation properties
wakes strong. The introduction of
Eastern capital has given much
added stimulus to the developing OF
the several properties which have re-
Gently been acquired by well-known
mining men. Probably the best prop
erty that has been disposed of re-
Gently in the district is the Spotted
Horse group of claims at Wheeler
Pass, which was purchased by G.
Shore and Andrew Knudson for $751;
600 by DR.. T. Channers Sangree, rep
resenting strong syndicate of New
York and Philadelphia capitalists.
DR.. Sangree is a prominent physician
and surgeon of New York City, who
gave up an extensive practice to en-
ter the mining business in Nevada,
and during the short time he has
been in the game has shown himself
possessed of a business acumen that
augurs certain success for the various
properties he has acquired. 1t is oW-
ing to the avidity with which DR..
Sangree has grasped the practical
points in the mining business that
such aggressive development is being
pursued on the various properties he
is interested in. 1t is whispered
among DR.. Sangree's friends that one
of the most potent elements OF his
success is the presence of his charm
ing wife, who gave up recognized
position as a society leader In ner
CITY to take up the trials and hard
ships of an existence in Nevada
mining camp, life which at the best
is hardly to be compared with met
ropolitan existence.
Rich Placer Ground.
DR.. Sangree's energies at present
are being directed to securing several
of the best properties in the heart OF
the rich placer district recently dis
covered near Dutch Creek. Late re-
ports have demonstrated that the
rich area is larger in extent than al
first supposed, and coarse gold ano
nuggets are being taken out That run
as high as $40 to the gold pan on the
claim owned by Sam Bayles, JACK
Scroggins and Same Steele. Outnts
of all descriptions continue to pour
in from every direction, ana the
unanimous verdict of every one who
has visited the diggings is that 1t VII
discount by far any placer discover!
of recent wears. The discovery OF
these diggings has opened up the
eves of the early settlers as to the
source of the plentiful supply of mug
cots which the early Piute Indians
freouently had in their possession
IF the nresent rush continues, and Il

quirements, and every consignment
to London encounters vigorous COM
petition, much of recent receipts go
ing to Paris. Some contraction in
contemplated work cannot be avoid
ed when funds are scarce, and the
promptness of mercantile collections
is a constant marvel in view of the
known stringency of money. The
large failure on Wednesday was d.
rectly due to the abnormal difficulty
experienced in securing loans from
the banks, as the volume of business
was ample, but funds were not avail
able to meet maturing obligations.
Call money has ranged from 2 to
5 per cent, with most new loans at
3 or per cent. Time money is still
very scerce, short term loans costing
per cent for thirty days, 5h per
cent to per cent for sixty days, 6
to 6k per cent for ninety days up to
Z per cent for five and six months.
Commercial paped is dull, few bid
ders appearing even at the prevail
