Treasurer Miles Considers
Situation at Close of
His Books Good.
TIME LIMIT EXPIRED
Delinquent List Effective Last Night
Rush During Last Three Days
Brought Much Money....As
Much Money As In 1906.

The books of Tax Collector Miles
were closed last night with the clos
ing of his Office at the end of the day.
Those property owners who have not
paid their taxes will now find their
names on the delinquent list, which
will be made up in few days, and
will be required to pay an additional
10 per cent by reason of their failure
to meet the demands of the county
within the time limit fixed by law.
During the last three days, includ-
ing Sunday, the office of Collector
Miles has been crowded virtually ev-
cry minute of every business hour,
with those desiring to settle with the
county and thus avoid the 10 per cent
penalty. The greatest rush to pay
was experienced Yesterday, when the
taxpayers began to fill the office early
in the morning and continued in Il
steady stream all day. It will be sew
eral days before Treasurer Miles will
be able to figure out the complete de-
linquent list, but it was his impress
sion last night that it would be much
smaller this year than has been an
ticipated. Large numbers of pay
ments have been made by mail, but
these have not been entered in the
books, so that no adequate idea can
be obtained as to the aggregate
amount actually paid into the treas
ury. The mail payments have been
particularly heavy during the last
three or four days.
Taxpayers outside of Ely, are, on
the whole, paid up better than those
right in Ely" said Treasurer Miles
last night as he began to open big
stack of mail received during the
evening THE ranchers in particu-
lar have been prompt in settling up,
the majority of them not taking ad-
vantage of tIe first installment
clause, but paying in full.
while | have three long lists OF
payments that have not been properly
and fully entered, and cannot tell
how these will be distributed, it Is my
impression that we have already
taken in twice as much money as we
had on closing the books last year,

Mr.. Fee Makes Reply to Request for
Nevada Literature-An En-
cellent Idea.

Through the courtesy of Mr.. Chas.
S. Fee, passenger traffic manager of
the Southern Pacific, the high school
has received a generous bundle of
copies of New Nevada" little book
brimful of the latest facts concern
ing Nevada's new days of opportun-

school as a supplementary reader for
acquiring practical up-to-date know
ledge about our great state. Mr.
Fee cheerfully and promptly respond
ed to a request for such supply of
books as would give to each pupil a
copy.
Prof. Pfeiffer believes that every
high school student in the state
should be thoroughly informed con-
cerning the wonderful natural advan-
tages of Nevada and the splendid flu
ture, sure to follow the development

judgment that we should hold fast
to the principles laid down by our
fathers. that the federal government
is one of limited powers but supreme
where it has jurisdiction, and that we
should leave to the people of tie
states the jurisdiction not granted to
the federal government and also
leave upon them the responsibility
and burden of taxation for the same.

ties also rest upon you individuality
Mr.. Bryan appeared on the floor of
the house as the speaker was named
and was greeted with much Demo-
cratic applause. While he declined
to say positively the object of his
visit to Washington at this time, it
is known that he feels his presence
is desirable in order that he may as
sist in formulating a policy of legis-
lation for the Democrats this win
ter. He admitted, however, that he
would particularly urge upon his par
ty representatives in the national law
making body the adoption of his
plan to minimize the danger of finan-
cial panics and bank runs by Great
ing a guarantee fund through a tax
on bank deposits.
1t is inferred from this that in his
extended conference few days ago
with President Roosevelt, Bryan as
certained that the president was not
in accord with his financial relief
plan, and that he would cause his
party to make sharp issue with the
Republicans on tnat question.

FUEL SUPPLY
IS ABUNDANT
Plenty Of Coal On Hand Locally.
Southern Pacific Stops Delivery
10 South Of State.

The railroad in the south end of
the state and dealers there have been
notified by the Southern Pacific that
no more coal will be delivered them
from it's line for an indefinite period
No such ruling has yet been init
mated for the northern part of the
state. Ely continues to receive coal
from Cobre and the probabilities are
that there will be no change in this
regard during the winter. The sup
ply of coal in the city for all purposes
is at this time very satisfactory, there
being no likelihood of a shortage de-
veloping. The reason for lhe shut
ting off of the supply to the southern
end of the state is that there is now
plenty of coal in southern Nevada
for which there has been little de-
mand so far this season. The yards
of Goldfield and Tonopah are pretty
well filled and there are many cars
on the sidings along the line.
This time last year Tonopah and
southern Nevada experienced the
coldest weather of the winter and
about eight inches of snow. The rail
road company brought in number
of ties which was temporary relief.
During the fore part of the winter
it was a case of burning everything
in sight and many were the stories
of distress and suffering sent out
from this desert country.
Indians say that this winter is to
be a mild one, and give as the rea-
son that there are few pine nuts.
When nature provides many nuts for
her animals then, the Indian says,
there will be a stiff winter, but no
nuts, no much cold" 1t is hoped
that the Indians are correct in their
calculation, for with high fuel and
the present scarcity of money there
would be harder time than last
winter, when it took rustling with
everybody with pockets filled with
the coin in the south of the state.

NAVY EQUAL TO
EMERGENCIES
Evans Says Talk That 1t Cannot Re.
pair and Handle Its Ships Is All
BOSh...TO Pacific on 10Th.
n WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Dec Rear
Admiral Fighting Bob Evans came
to town today as fit as "A biddle. He
said so, and looked it.
Never felt better in my life he
said, land I'm here this time to close
up things with the department for
our little cruise down south
Admiral Evans bitterly resented
the last of what he termed periodical
reports libeling the ability of the
navy properly to repair and handle
its ships.
"Bosh, all bosh!" said the admiral.
you can bet your North Ameri-
can life that every one of the 16
battleships will be ready, under full
steam and with every man on board,
at o'clock on the morning of De-
cember 16. Just how soon after that
hour we shall actually begin the
journey depends upon the president.
Admiral Evans will divide honors
with President Amador of Panama at
the White House Friday night He
will be dined by Assistant Secretary
Newberry, December 4, and probably
by the University club on December
5. The fleet commander was in con-
ference with Secretary Metcaf, AS
sistant Secretary Newberry, Admiral
Brownson and other bureau chiefs.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has ordered that the
fleet leave for the Pacific on Decem-
ber 16, and if any one be responsible
for holding it back, that person will
wish that the cruise had never been
ordered.
Thus far there is no great fear of
delay, according to statements made
by Secretary Metcalf, the bureau
chief and other naval officers who
are connected with the repair work
now going on at full blast, days,
nights and Sundays. Secretary Met
calf receives reports from the navy
yards each week relative to the prog
ress of the work, and although the
men toiling on the ships have diff
cult task before them in getting ev-
erything into first class shape on
time, the reports consider no possi-
bility of delay. Most of the import
ant repair work has been completed,
and if certain specified additional
work cannot be done, the ships will
leave without it.
Lack of time to put the finishing
touches on some of the ships would
not cause delay, as this could be done
at sea, or the ships could get along
without it.
The matter of the fire control in
stallation delaying the fleet is Que of
the question. For some time the
navy department has given up all
hope of having this system complet-
ed until the battleships reach the
Pacific coast and it has ordered the
instruments shipped overland to San
Francisco.
