STATE IN fine
CONDITION

he regular monthly count of
the States money was made today
and the result shows that the State
OF Nevada is richer at this time of
the year than at any other in the
history of the State.
Notwithstanding the large ap-
preparations for different purposes
that have been made by the Legis-
latures of the past few sessions and
the expense arising from the spe-
cial session and the passage and
maintenance of the police bill,
there is at the present time
1881 ,S67.52 in coin in the treasury
of the State. Beside this amount
there are the following State School
Fund securities: Irredeemable
State School Bonds, $3S0,000;
Massachusetts, State 3 per cent
bonds, $797, 900; Nevada State
bonds, $4,000; Massachusetts
three and one half per cent bonds,
$4,000 and United States bonds
TO the amount OF $4,000. Or in
all grand total of 81, ,4o6 ,S67 80.
Against this vast amount OF
money there is only the regular
monthly bills for the maintainance
of the various State institutions
and which are allowed out OF the
regular funds set aside by the
legislature.
Beginning with the coming month
he taxes from the various counties
OF the State will begin to come in
which will swell the cash in the
State strong box To a great deal in
excess of million dollars. This,
together with the amount received
from the assessment of the insur-
anee companies doing business in
Nevada and the receipt of the
quarterly bullion and liquor tax
of the State will place the State of
Nevada in a financial condition
never before equaled. The State
of Nevada owes nothing and has
about the best financial standing
Of any Of the States of the Union.

Club was organized. The prime
movers of the association have met
with the most promising outlook
for the new organization which
will undoubtedly play an import

fine lot of athletic paraphernalia
owned by the Reno Wheelmen
that is no longer used by them. If
the negotiations that are now pend

complete new outfit will be ordered
from the East at once.
The members are already plan
ming to give an entertainment in
Gardnerville in the near future and
you can rest assured that the new
ly organized Gardnerville Athletic
Association will manage many
social affairs as well as pose as one
of the leading clubs of the State.
Mr.. Phillips, now a resident of
this town, and who is an amateur
boxer. wrestler and all around
athlete, will instruct the members
il the manly art and otherwise
will be of great assistance in bring
ing the organization up to high
standard.
