CASH VALE FOR
ALL PROPERTY
New Law increases Labor OF
Assessor.

The new law passed by the last
session of the legislature which
provides that all property shall be
assessed at cash value, will in
crease considerably the work of
Assessor Conner in this county.
The property was assessed in
accordance with the old law, at
one third value by Mr.. Conner.
The new lawl provides that: the
county judge, clerk and assessor
shall constituted board of equaliza-
tion, to meet at the court house in
the several counties each year On
the third Monday CT October.
Before proceeding TO the equali-
zation of the rolls, each member of
the board shall take and subscribe
to an oath, which will be filed with
the county clerk, to faithfully and
honestly, correct and equalize at
full cash value, the assessment
roll and all property returned by
the assessor.
In order to comply with the law
it will be necessary for the board
to multiply all totals by three in
order to get the cash value.
The change to chash value will
not increase taxes. While there
will be an increase in the taxable
property, the levy will be decreased,
and it is not likely that the levy
will be over eight mills, and it is
possible that it will not reach this
figure.
Mr.. Conner informs the Gazette
that the increase in taxable property
will reach $15O,0OO at the cash
dalue assessment.
The total amount of taxable
property in the county will be in
The neighborhood of $10,0O0,00O. |,

NEVADA's POPULATION 10000

According to the first census taken
in Nevada, that of 1870, the state then
had a population of 42,491, which in
1850 had increased TO 62,266. In 1890
the population had decreased to 41,761
and in 1900 to 4i,325, which was less
than in 1870.
As the inhabitants o. The state have
not been enumerated since the census
OF 1909. which was prior to the mining
revival, the present population of Ne
vada is an unknown quantity. Accord
ing to the census of 1900 Nevada had
Al ,335. The total vote for president
ial electors that year was 10,1S6 about
one vote for every four inhabitants. In
1906 the total vote for Governor was
1887, which on the basis of 1906
would indicate a population Of abOu

WATER TROUBLES ON CARSON

Millmen and farmers on the Carson
river from Empire to Virginia City
are having troubles over water rights.
The millmen claim that the amount
of water used by the agriculturiStS
is out of proportion to their needs.
Captain Davis of Dayton and others
are the chief complainants. In the
summer the mills have had to re-
main shut down On account Of the
water needed for irrigation purposes.
The incline is not great enough to
warrant the construction CT a reser-
voir to hold the water in the flood
season for use in the dry periods.
There seems to be no solution OF
1.-THE question without litigation. There
lis not enough water for both. Ar
agreement suggested, though, by {
resident of thedistrict affected is tha
the mill use the water for stated
time, allowing the farmers to use i
the remainder
When the dig Hickey reservoir i
finished there will be no furthe

1t is the idea Of Forrest J. SWears,
a mining engineer who is charge OF
several properties at Goldfeld; that
one or more mines should be started
up at once without J. w. W. help. He
mentions one property in particular
that could be started without any
members of the |. ". ", He says he
could @et all the men needed and
have them sign paper renOuncing
the |. W. W. BY so doing the success
OF the undertaking could be ascer-
Itaned and the resumption Of other
properties could follow. Mr.. SWeaTs
before the trouble broke out, en-
! plOyed from 2GO to 300 men. He has
one outfit now working on a property
about twelve miles from GOldtield. a
core drill is in use and there is not a
miner on the job All are mechanics
and are working along in peace and
harmony. When the trouble started
the drill hole was down thirty feet,
and it is now down 400. The mine
l owners and business men wanted hin
to shut that property down with al
Others. Mir. Swears refused unless he
was paid for the damage that would
have accrued from the hole beins
spoiled The committee declined tC
pay and the work proceeded. He
states that he does not see how an!
thing could have been gained by shut
ting down under the circumstances
Ieapecially in view of the fact that tn
workings are twelve miles from Cole
+ hcid-TonOpah Sun.
