A Very Important Matter

The attention of parties having claims
against the county is called TO section
of the Compiled Laws of Nevada,
which will be found quoted in the pro-
ceedings of the Board of County Com
m~issioners in another column in regard
to such claims outlawing in six months.
Also the public's attention is called
to section SO of the school law passed at
the last session of the Nevada Legisla-
ture, which will also be found in the
same column as the foregoing and
which provides that no claim against
the county shall be paid until properly
sworn to and having a certificate from
the Deputy State Superintendent of
Schools attached thereto.
If this law is observed By parties hav-
ing such claims against the county it
will relieve the embarrassment of the
creditor, make easier work for the
Board, and justice will be lone to all.

COIN FOR POLL TAXES IN NEVADA
The Statutes Do Not Provide for
Citizens of the State to Work
Out the Amount

Reno Gazette: There is no provision
in the statutes of Nevada allowing per-
ons to work out their poll taxes on pub
lie improvements. This was the opin-
ion handed to members of the Machin-
lists Union at Sparks who called upon
an attorney for an opinion.
Because of the scarcity of work the
machinists were attempting to devise a
method whereby they would be allowed
to work on the county roads until they
had earned enough to pay their poll
taxes. The matter was referred at first
10 Assessor Beard. He in turn advised
the men to secure the advice OF an attor-
ney. and he would act upon it.
Attorney Millett spent several days in
looking into the matter and gave his
opinion.
Nevada is one of the few States in
the Union which has no provision for
allowing a person to work out poll
taxes" said Millett. "As a result of
this provision in other States, the coun-
ty roads are kept in excellent repair, and
good citizens are afforded an opportun-
ity Of saving a few dollars. and at a
time when money is scarce"

district.
II. +. Hunt, superintendent of the
Nevada Lead Company's mines here. is
elated, and well he may be- According
to his estimate he thought the men
working in the mine would strike the
ore body in So feet. and last Friday
when the drift was run SO feet the ore
began to show. and now the body of
ore is already four feet wide and still
the main ledge has not been reached.
This is an entirely new find and shows
what opportunities still exist in this
camp if the right men take hold. The
Ely men who are backing Mr.. Hunt are
to be congratulated in their faith in
him. The ore found is a rich carbonate
aud is shipping ore. All the work
done to uncover it was the sinking of a
shaft so feet deep and drifting SO feet.

FRIDAY EVENING. APR. 3. 1905


A popular notion that explosives VIII
go or by any simple method Is
wrong. Many Of the most powerful
explosives imaginable may be kicked
about, may be set on fire or may DE
shot out of a gun, and unless the prop
err agency for exploding them Is EN-
ployed they will not "go Off" and Will
do no damage. The reason for this
may be explained by an illustration
Consider a grateful of coal There Is
there enough Of what we may call ex-
plosive energy to throw a 1000 pound
weight through foot of solid steel
IL only it could be liberated. But there
can be no explosion without oxygen,
and the coal in the CRATE VIII not burn
faster than the supply Of oxygen in the
air which reaches 1t will permit IL
the coal could be furnished all at once
with enough air to cause IT'S complete
burning, 1t would explode With as great
violence as If 1t were so much dyna-
mite-St. Nicholas.
