The taxable property of the State has
more than doubled since 1900. Then
the total valuation for assessable pr
poses was $24, ,599.7 II; in 1902 it was
$29, 6,241.60; in 1904, ~ ,500, 1880,
and in 1906, as nearly as can be esti-
mated from the data at hand at this
date, will amount to 10000, 900, an in
crease of $14, 000, 900 since 1904, and If
$25, 000, 900 since 1900. Considerable Of
this increase is from the net proceeds
of mines, but owing to the fact that no
reports have been received from s. veral
counties, among them Churchill, Esmer
aida, Lyon and Nye, the exact figures
cannot be given.

THE UPS AND
DOWNS OF NEVADA
CONTINUED from Page %

Continued from Page %
The price of silver, like the prices
of wheat, beef and wool, is a factor IN
the prosperity of Nevada. The advance
in the metal from 47h cents per ounce,
the lowest recorded, in January, 1903;
to II cents per ounce in November,
1906, has installed new life into TIL,
old silver producing districts and added
materially to the values of the bullion
product Of Tonopah and other new min
ing localities, where the ores carry sill
yer as well as gold.
As the inhabitants of the State have
not been enumerated since the census
of 1900, which was prior to the mining
revival, the present opulation of Ne
presidential electors that year was
10, 196-about one vote for every four
inhabitants. In 1906 the total vote for
governor was 1887, which on the basis
of 1900 would indicate a population 81
about $4,000, which, beyond ~reasonablf
doubt, is several thousand less than TIE
actual number. Since the mining Ie
eival thousands from other States have
come TO Nevada and the immigration
has been especially large during the
present year. AS the newcomers haa
not been long enough in the State 4

FORMER JEROME MINING MAN
 SUICIDES.
(From Fridays Dnily.0

News reached here yesterday that Chaunecy F.. Butler. well known min ing engineer, formerly employed at the United Verde mine, at Jerome, com. mittcd suicide at his home in Denver, Colo, Saturday, by taking large quantity of arsenic.
 His rash act, it is said, was the rc. suit of breeding over disagrecmcnts with his wife, who deserted him some time before, returning to Los Angeles, to reside with her mother. Friday, Butler received n very insulting letter from her, in which she told him that she would never live with him again, and that if he called on her in Los Angeles he would have 10 chain and handcuG her in order to gc, her to re. turn with him.
 The couple were married in Jerome. about six years ago, while the deceased was in charge of the laboratory of the United Verde mine. They lived happily for some years there, and later moved to Denver, where he was consulting engineer for some large mining con ccrns.
 At the time of their marriage Mrs Butler was Miss Bell, daughter of Mrs. Laura C. Cramer of Jerome, who later moved to Los Angeles. She was very popular in social circles in the Copper City, and was a general favor itc. It is said that her lo> sor so. ciety and the eompanionsh.p of people objectionable to her husband was the cause of the trouble which led to their separation and his suicide.

LONDON WATCHING MOVEMENT
 OF COPPER.
(From Fridays Daily.)

The following from a Londcn metal publication is impressive: "Fivc years ago, when copper was wallowing in the slough of despond, there were many observers of the situation who gaze voice 10 the opinion that electrical de. velopment had almost reached its max. imum, passing their belief upon the wholesale conversion which had been effected, even at that date, of such un- dertakings as tramway systems from horse and steam power to electric trac' tion, and the spread of electric light. ing systems. Time has proved this to be entirely erroneous, and the world seems today to be standing on the threshold of an era in which the cleo. trieal development of the last decade will prove insignificant compared with those to be expected during the next ten years.
 'If the conversion of tram ray sys- tens from horse to electrical power, anu Eh' Hi'' 'Ni''''f'"' 's the telephone and electric lighting ser vices of the world have caused revo- lution in the copper trade, what is likely to be the effect of inc inversion om steam {, electricity o' the world 's railway tracksl Is there, too, even q remote possibility of the demand for telephone or electric lighting facilities being curtailedi Win they not in the course of few years be demanded by every middle class householder
 "The equipment of factories and works with electric driving is, also, merely in its infancy. And it must be borne in mind that in such enterprises as those named the difference between $50 and fl00 ton in the price of cop. per bears but trifling proportion to the aggregate cost of the undertaking and forms no bar or check to con. sumption.'

FUEL SHORTAGE IS CAUSING
 MUCH TROUBLE.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

On account of lack of fuel work has been temporarily suspended on the Baumann group of mines, in the Agua Fria district. The Baumann company was compelled to reduce its force some time ngo, on account of shortage of coal, and abandon sinking on its Laura mine. The management has used every endeavor to secure the delivery of coal by the railroad and coal companies, during the past few months, and was finally compelled to cease operations entirely until a good supply of the black diamonds is delivered.
 It is also reported that the De Soto mines, employing large number of men, and located at Middleton, on the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, is threat eued with a shut down on account of the failure of the oil and railroad com panies to deliver fuel oil. The supply on hand, which was exhausted few days ago, was replaced by ear load which was delivered as the last on hand was being used, but this will be exhausted in n very short time and if another car load is not delivered soon operations will necessarily be tcmpor. nrily suspended.
 Other companies are threatened with similar endorsements in the conduct of their operations and unless larger consignmcnts of coal and fuel oil reach here in the near future the business in. tcrests of the county will suffer greatly.

INCORPORATION OF NEW MINING
 COMPANY.
(From Fridays DaIy)

With the organization of the Key. stone Mining Development company. yesterday, to which the title of the Keystone group of mines passed the prclim,nary work for the inauguration of large operations has been completed. small force of men has been engaged in the sinking of two shafts on the ground for the past few weeks and the new concern proposes to equip one of these shafts with large hoisting plant at once, when the force will be in. creased and the vein opened in accord. ancc with modern mining methods.
 The value in the surface ores is prin. cipally silver, but in the past few weeks, since the shafts have been con. tinuod below water level, copper value, from to B per cent have been cncoun. tered in the silver ore paystrcaks. that give assay returns of from 900 to GOO ounces to the ton.
 In the bottom ct one of the shafts. which, is now down 90 feet. ,herc is n pays,rcak averaging thirty inches in thickness, carrying silver values of over slOO to the ton, at the present value of the white metal, and about q per cent in copper This paystrcak. which IS only one of q number exposed in sur. face openings on the great porphyry dyke, appears io be widening ont as depth K gained, and the indications are that it is the apex of large ore body deeper down. The dyke follows a schist and porphyry contact, in northeast crly and southwcstcrly direction. It has width ranging from 90 to loo feet, and its development shows mum. Der of vcinlcts of sulphidc ore of high grade. showing silver in native. ruby and other forms.
 The group. which consists of six claims, is located in the Turkey Creek district. three miles southcas, of Good. win and six miles southwest of Mayer. the nearest railroad station.
 The company. which is composed of Prescott and Phoenix capitalists, has ample finances already subscribed 10 open the vein to great depth, as well as equip the property with modern machinery. The shafts now being sunk nrc said to be producing more than enough ore to pay for all operating ex. pcnscs.
 The oficera of the company are J. r. Wilson. president; Charles T. Jos. iyn, vice president, and F. C. Friedman secretary and treasurer. Dr. J. Harvey Blain of this city and r. F. Parker, n prominent Phoenix financier and cap. italist, are associated with the officers on the Board of Directors.

MIAMI FLAT HAS AN LNDtAN
 SCARE
(from Fridays Dauv)


 Miami Flat had an Indian scare. last night. II wasn't quite as bad as the first reports brought to Globe. says the Silver Belt but it seemed to have given the people who live in the vicinity of Miami somewhat of fright. IL was similar to other Indian scarcs. com. bination of thirsty redskins, bad booze and plenty of cartridges
 "Jack, the Ripper" whose correct cognomcn is said to be Jack Walker. arrived in the city last evening at about 1:30, after riding his pony with the throttle wide open all the way from Miami Flat, and informed the Sheriff E office that a number of Indians were shooting up the ranch houses of John Riser and the McLanes. Deputy Shcr. ifs Jack knighton and Bob Anderson immediately got their horses and start. ed out with Walker for the scene of the disturbance.
 Tho Indians were nowhere in sight when the officers reached Miami. but they learned there that two Indians had been shooting promiscuously around the houses. At McLanc's they were told that the Indians were creating n disturbance and had been ordered away but they answered with a vollcy of Winchester shots. which fortunately lid not strike anyone.
 Knighton and Anderson started on hunt about that section, md in a i tent below the new Mitchell shelter they found one of the offenders, a well known Indian in this vicinity. His name is Henry Clay Chil-chu.a.na, a son of the noted Apache chief, Chil. chu.a.na, who is now winding up a strenuous career in aboriginal simplic. | ity at Rice. When located, Henry was wearing a .45 revolver and belt full of cartridges. All the chambers of the gun were empty. He refused to give the name of his companion. and also refused to tell the officers wha, had bc. come of his Winchester. He was brought into town and placed in cell in the county jail.
 Chil-chua-na had been drinking, bui when the officers wanted him to tell .hc number of his companions in the shoot; ing. he absolutely refused .D peaci and told the officers he would die before telling.
 | This is not the first time thcr, hl. been similar trouble at Miami F'at rnJ the officers are of the opiniol that th. Indians secure their liquor at that point. Sheriff Thompson intends {, cause m investigation into the alleged selling of liquor to Indians by saloon, in that vicinity.

FAMOUS PECK MINE IS FLOODED
 BY WATER.
(From Thursdays Daily0

Operations have been temporarily suspended in the Peek mine, on account of connections having been made with the old works and the new shaft and drift, allowing an inflow of water greater than the capacity of the two pumps in the new works, which arc now under 100 fee; of water. The ca. paci,y of the boiler plant will bc in. creased by the addition of two new boilers, and new pumps will be in. stalled as soon as possible, when work will be resumed.
 Great precautions were taken to pre- vent breaking into the old works, by the management and the miners, as the old works were approached in the drift from the new shaft, and on account of the hardness of the rock in the mine it was thought that the old works, which were filed with water 10 a depth of 2j0 feet, could be drained through n drill hole. thus enabling the limited capacity of the pumps to control the inflow. This plan proved failure, however. last Monday, when n shot fired opened larger hole than was an- ,icipated, which was followed by such rush of water that the miners were compelled to abandon the underground workings without removing the pumps to the higher levels.
 No loss of life was caused by the rapid filling of the lower levels with water, and no serious damage was done the drift or shaft as far as known. The pumps will be recovered when the mine is pumped out again. after the installment of the new boilers and pumps.
 The Peek mine is located in the Bradshaw Mountains, about five miles northeast of Crown King. It was dis covered in the early 70's, by Ed Peek and his associates. and has record in silver production of over S3,000,OOO. Its rich treasure vaults have been explored 10 depth of between 800 and GOO feet and the flooded workings tap inc vein underneath the old drifts, stopes and raises where ore was taken ont carry ing values ranging from hundred to thousands of ounces of silver to the ton. Its history, which reads like q romance. is familiar to all old resi- dents of the Territory ana the fame of its riches when in the zenith of hs production extended to all parts of the | civilized world.

With inc present opera season at its height. the question has again been revived as to why it is that America. while producing so many great prima dohhas, Furnishes no malo singers of sufficient ability Co cntitlc them to be chased as stars. But this year. beside reviving the question, has fortunately also brought it's answer, which. accord. ing to ifs sponsors. is found in the single but awful word. suspcnders. v Those who have made this discovery indeed would find in common palluscs the cause of most of man's shor,com. ings. Women can sing bccausc they do not wear them. Men can't because they do. In fine, it was probably a pair of suspcnders that Eve handed to Adam in the Garden of Eden, and not an ap. pie. or course, thcrc is a highly scien. tific explanation. To sing well one must have n high chest and a rcceding abdomen. figure which the modern Feminine garb induces. Mere man, however, his trousers pockets full of hardware, suspends their weight from his shoulders, thus dragging down on his chest, and pushing it into his stom- ach. Result his figure is ruined. and he can't sing. Whether the propound. CTS of this theory intend to organize an anti.suspender league remains to be seen. LONGACRE.
