RAILROADS ARE RAISED
BY THE STATE ASSESSORS
Move Came In Nature Of Surprise to
Companies, Which Had Expected That
Close Times Would Make Difference

In spite of the supposed stringent
times the state board of assessors
took little whirl at the railroads of
Nevada and made slight increases in
practically every assessment. One or
two of the roads made a getaway, in
fact did better, had their assessment
reduced, among them being the Tono-
pay and Goldfield, assessed last year
at $4,000, due to fight made
against the company by the people
of the southern country largely but
this year through the eloquence of
Attorney Campbell and the persuas-
iveness of Superintendent Hedden the
assessment was reduced $4,000. The
Central Pacific was raised $500 and
the Virginia & Truckee assessment
remained the same.
Following are the assessments per
mile on the main line and per mile on
the sidetracks of the various roads of
the state: Central Pacific main line,
$4,000 and sidetracks $4,000; Vir-
gnia & Truckee. main line $4,000
and side tracks $4,000; San Pedro,
Los Angeles and Salt Lake, main line
$500 and sidetrack $4,000; Tono-
par & Goldfield, main line 1900
and sidetracks $4,000; Nevada and

EXPECTS REIMBURSEMENT
WITH HARM TO VERY FEW
Prof. James Douglas Gives Views As to
the Actual Situation With Regard to
C0pper--Curtai|ment and the Reasons

Professor James Douglas, directing
head of the Phelps-Dodge mining en-.
terprises, has written the following
ae expressing his view of the sopper
situation:
The coppeY industry, like the rest
OF the country, has been living in a
fools paradise for the better part of
two years, and finds 1t difficult to ac-
commodate itself again to normal
conditions of existence.
When the value of stocks of all
kinds rises to fictitious figures, the
value of commodities not nnreasona-
bly, follows suit. Men believed that
their paper wealth was real wealth
and spent accordingly, giving too
often, however, paper checks in ex-
chsnge for what they bought And
while, THIS eStrayasant expenditure
prevailed. to meet the demand for
the articles wanted and to realize
the extravagant prices paid for their
com mcdities, the manufacturer forced
production to dsgree in excess of
his actual legitimate resources and
facilities. When tae world returned
To its sober senses and realized that
hings were not what they seemed, in
stead Of soberly and reasonably re-
organizing its business as well as its
household expenses, it suffered v;o-
lent reaction of remorse and fear and
fell into a panic for which there was
no rcally good reason. This is e.n.-
nertly true Of inc copper trade. It
has hecn 1asssns through the sane
plla..cs first excessive clsttion, thcn
morbid depression, and now slow re-
covery toward reasonahleness. No
sensible man believed copper to be
w.rtb 25 cents or suppose that it
wuuli maintaia that pr:ce. but the
pri. under abnormal conditions,
kcp' soaring en / the LARGE mills kept
buzz, ahead to tho l,,ss ~ the pro-
ducers and the mills material gain,
as long as the market continued
steadily rising. Unfortunately for
the owners of the mills they did not
realize that the balloon was leaking
gas, and therefore did not stop buy
ing soon enough. Nor did the pro-
ducers know or appreciate soon
enough the extent to which the de-
inand for the manufactured article
had begun to decline. This really
commenced in April and became pro-
nounced in May; nevertheless, dur
ing the whole summer the mines and
SHELTERS continued pouring out their
boom production, with the result that
when the bubble actually burst they
found themselves loaded with a lot
OF copper which it was inconvenient
to carry. Some companies closed
down their smelling works entirely
and devoted their feeble efforts un-
foreground to picking up development
work, which in the stress of produc-
ton had fallen woefully behind.
Others were only too glad to reduce
production below the normal and
give their overworked staff breath

TO BROOKLYN BY
THE SUBWAY
ROUTE
New Traffic Channel
Makes Great Relief for
Old Brooklyn Bridge

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.--The Brook
Ign bridge, which has groaned FOR
years under the weight of human be-
ings, got relief last night The
Brooklyn tunnel, running to the limit
of it's capacity, under three-minute
Roadway, came to its rescue and the
result was patent to the public who
used the bridge, to the police who
lave had to fight the crowds nightly,
and to the transportation men VINO
have wrestled for years with the prob
lem of getting the homeward bound
thousands across it in safety.
1t will be few days before actual
figures can be produced, showing
lust exactly how much the bridge was
relieved by the tunnel, but the longed
for relief had come. and with II is
rcadjustment of traffic In BROOKLYN
which the Brooklyn Rapid transit
company tackled in pretty good shape
last night. The celebration which the
citizens of Brooklyn held at noon was
justified apparently by the results.
While the exact proportion OF the
traffic diverted by the tubes Is hard
TO determine, some idea of 1t may
he gained from what the Brooklyn
subway was doing from 5 O'Clock to
30 last night Its real test came
then. In the 81 minutes between
500 and $50, 81 trains of eight
cars each left the Bowling Green sta
ton bound for Brooklyn. Superin-
tendent Hedley of the Peterborough
who was watching the flow at that
station, estimated that there was Their

is the time you cannot tell where a
lean stands until his vote is record
ed.
Inasmuch as the position of the
Nye county delegation will have in
Guence in this matter setcond only
to Esmeralda it would be well to take
stock on it also. Are all safe and
ready to stand with the governor in
his determination to have law and
order? BY all the Sun means every
one of them.
When it comes to the pinch with
Goldfield men they can be counted
upon as being for Goldfield. Events
have taken such turn that it has
been made plain that Goldfield can
prosper only on law and order basis
and with plenty of protection from
violence. The people of Goldfield are
for the retention of the troops. Their
spirit for the promotion of their town
will at any time overshadow their
zeal for labor unionism and espe-
cjally for Western Federationism.
This is a trait that is peculiarly Gold
ficldistic, and it is pity that other
cities have not little more of the
came malady. If espousing the cause
of the Western Federation was the
quickest way to make Goldfield a
81 eat mining city you would find ev-
cry man, woman and child there
shouting for the Western Federation
at all hours. But they have become
convinced that the quickest way is to
shout for the troops. and for the
troops they are shouting, morning
noon and night. What Goldfield does
its delegation to Carson does, and
will not cease to do until Goldfields
point is carried.
1t will have to take very keen
desire to do politics on the one hand
or to show an active sympathy with
the federation on the other, for the
legislature to thwart the desires oil
the united Goldfield delegation. Let
the Nye county delegation be solid il
the same column and there need be
no fear of refusal of the Legislature
to provide some kind of protection
