TO TAX ALL BANK STOCK
Under An Act Passed By the Last
Nevada Legislature

Considerable discussion has resulted
from an Act passed by the last Nevada
legislature regulating the assessment
aud taxation of banks and of the shares
OF stock therein. As consequence the
Attorney Generals Office has handed
down an opinion upon the main points
OF the Act, the opinion being in reply
to a request of Assessor Owens Of Nye
County. Following are the main
points OF the Act aud the opinion rem
dered:
First-That all shares of banking
stock. whether of issue or not, whether
belonging to the bank or private indi.
vidulls. is assessable.
Second-That the Act applies to all
banks. domestic or foreign, State or
national.
Third-Where bank has not issued
stock on entire capitalization the as
sessment should be made accordingly
l.. e., all property should be assessed.
II stock is issued the personal properly
is not taxed. only the shares Of stock
and the real estate.
Fourth-If banking officials refuse to
give the information in regard to the
shares of stock and by whom held,
criminal proceedings may be brought
by the District Attorney and also the
assessment made against the corpora
tion itself for the full value of the stock
as ascertained.
Flfth-Personal property belonging
to the bank shall not be assessed in ad-
dition to the stock.
Sixth-The shares of the stock are
only assessable in the home Office, or
main point of the bank. and not where
held. This is not true of the real estate.

The latter provision means much to

HAMILTON'S RICH LEAD ORES
Salt Lake SHELTERS Assert That

Ely Expositor, July A.: Although
Hamilton attracts but little attention
IN mining circles for its ability to ship
lead of high grade quality. that old
time camp is sending out regularly $50
tons q month to the Salt Lake smelters
The amount would be trebled il the
mine owners Of Hamilton could secure
miners and teams to haul the ore to
Eureka.
E j. McEilin. the owner Of one of the
biggest lead mines at Hamilton, ac-
companied by his wife, daughter and
son. came in last night to attend the
Fourth of July celebration in this city.
Il am shipping about 100 tons every
month from my mine, by way of Eu-
reka, to the American Smelling and Re-
fining Company at Salt Lake. The ore
will average about 20 per cent lead. and
the officials of the Smelling Company
assert that Hamilton sends out the
richest lead ore received at its plants.
II have four teams hauling between
Hamilton and Eoreka, and would like
to get more for the same purpose. Eight
men are kept at work in the mine. get
ting out and sacking the ore for ship
ment. / would be only too glad to get
more miners, but they don't like to
stay around a quiet camp. They pre-.
fer place like Ely. where there is all
kinds of excitement.
1.-The Rocco Homestake is sending out
about 100 tons month to the Salt Lake
smelters. but it is also handicapped by
lack of men and teams. The Ne Plus
Ultra. owned by the Bambergers. has
a large quality of rich lead ore on the
dumps ready for shipment. but it is not
doing anything in the shipping line."
