there is no reason to dread that his de-
cision would be arbitrary, though the
two words are very near relatives. An
arbiter, the Latin word which used to-
be more common as English than it is
now, meant by derivation simply "one
who went to" something to examine it.,
and SO at first a spectator or witness.

ESMERALDA LEADS STATE
SAYS BULLION COLLECTOR

James F. Haley, bullion tax collector
and revenue agent, has completed his
labors here and continued on to Phoebe.
One of the official acts performed by
him here was the rendering of an i'm
portant opinion, which, if sustained,
will add tens of thousands of dollars a
year to the county and state.
Mr.. Haley held that each lease on a
holding company, must, like a tub,
stand upon it's own bottom. In other
words, the losses sustained by a non
producing lease could not be made a
deduction from the profits of a pro-
dueing lease, but hat bullion tax is as
sessable upon the net output of each
producing lease.
So far as Mr.. Haley has covered the
state-and he has already visited every
county except Lander, Eureka, Lincoln
and White Pine-he finds that Esmer-
aida county ranks easily first in a gen
eral business sense as well as in bullion
output, with Washoe second in business
and Nye third in business and second
in bullion production.

COMSTOCK YELLOW JACKET
is TO BE DEVELOPED

The l~,20O-foot level of the Yellow
Jacket mine on the Comstock is now be-
ing opened by the present management
for the first time. From the LOO to
the ~1,300-foot level is a fine piece of
ground 200 feet in depth by $50 i a
length, which is virgin ground with the
exception of some little work done at
the north of the mine, where a winze
was sunk in the vein from the LOO to
the l,300-foot level, which showed much
low-grade ore with gold values pre-
dominating. When the great Crown
Point bonanza was struck in the early
seventies the jacket management re-
solved to sink the incline at once to the
l,30O-foot level, and if rich ore was
round to work that to the 1900 level.
Although $25, O0e, 900 was taken from
the Crown Point, the rich ore did not
extend INTO the Jacket, though much
low grade gold ore was found-over
$~l,ooO,OO0 in 1885 and 1886. . Much of

As the old incline is opened, all that

FROM RAILRoAD1Na TO MINING


VIM. H. Paul, general agent of the
Denver & Rio Grande Railway system
in Nevada, advises that he has ten
dered his resignation, effective Sept.
Both, to devote his entire attention to
the mining properties in which he is in
terested. The Pittsburg-Liberty M. &
M. Co., which Mr.. Paul assisted in
financing, is now on a dividend paying
basis, and with the completion of the
cyanide plant now in course of con-
struction, large and regular dividends
are expected.
Mr.. Paul is also connected with the
Seven Troughs C%olumbine NJ. & c. Co.
and the Neveda Amalgamated NJ. & f.
Co., the control in both of which com
panies is held by the same men who
have made the Pittsburg- Liberty a
success. His success with the Pitts
burg-Liberty M. & M. Co. is another
illustration of the fact that, when prop
erly conducted, mining is the ~cleanest
business on earth; the money they are
distributing is new money, added to
the wealth of the world, and not taken
away from one set of men to give to
another.
Mr.. Paul states it is his intention to
devote his time for the present to
financing a Mines Development com
pany, for which there is in Nevada a
field offering especially attractive op-
portunities, especially now that the
panic is behind us, and the outlook for
the mining industry in the state so en-
e%ouraging.
