NYE COUNTY

Nearly a Million and a
Quarter for Last
Quarter

'TONOPAH, December 14.-The to-
tai amount of ore extracted from the
mines in Nye County for the quarter
ending September 80, 1908, amounted
to 1892 tons, of a valuation of ST.
37S,34S11. These are the figures OBJ
tanned from State Bullion and Tax
Collector J. F. Haley, who has been
in Tonopah several days checking up
the tax receipts in the Sheriff's Office
The amount of bullion tax paid dur
ing that quarter by the various min
ing companies into the Golfers of the
State amounted to $6O74.15.
The above figures are about equal
to those of the preceding quarter and
it is expected that when the figures
for the present quarter are obtained
they will exceed those of any preced-
ing time. The shipments from the
Broken Hills Company at Clifford are
expected to raise the amount Of ore
mined, as will the Mcnamara mine
and West End, which during the time
those properties were in lit. .atica
shipped only enough high grade to
pay expenses.
