TAN RATE UNCHANGED.
Goldfeld Contest Results i'm Court
Sustaining the Commissioners.

CARSON CITY, Dec. TO-
Supreme Judge James G.. Sweeney,
rendered a decision in the case of
the state of Nevada, ex rel Holly VS..
the commissioners of Esmeralda
county, better known as the Goldfeld
Tax case. In his opinion he declared
that the writ of mandamus will not
lie in the case to compel the commits
sioners to meet and reduce the tax
levy, after they have already met and
considered the reduction. With this
opinion he has dismissed the case.
Judge Norcross, in concurring in
the opinion of Judge Sweeney
declares that the special levy of As
cents for court house bonds is I'M
necessary and recommends that the
commissioners abate the special tax
or reduce it so that it will not be a
burden upon the people. Supreme
Justice Talbot was of the opinion
that portion of the bond issue was
valid and that the mandamus case
could lie to compel the board of COM
missioners to reduce the excess.
This case was brought by people of
Goldfield against the county comis-
sioners to force the commissioners to
reduce a tax they believed unreason-
able and exorbitant. They will now
have to pay the tax without any fur
Their dispute.

SILVER IS ON THE
UPGRADE
NEVADA CON. ONE OF FEW
WHICH MADE GAIN IN YESTER-
DAYS TRADING - REPORTED
BUYING GIROUx CONTROL.

Nevada Consolidated with a few
other favorites in the copper list
made advance yesterday. The bal
ance of the list was quiet with little
doing, the trading centering in a
few stocks. No particular cause for
the advance of Nevada Consolidated
appeared on the surface, the move
ment appearing to be simply on the
strength of merit. Rumors that the
company is after the Giroux and that
recent purchases of the stock of Gil
roux in the east have been for Ne
vada Consolidated, have recently
been current in the markets, and may
have had something to do with the
upward turn of the stock.
Copper the metal was a little off
yesterday, while silver was stronger
and made advance in the quotatinos,
crossing the AZ cent mark. 1t is be-
lieved that it is on the upgrade for
good and that advance may be ex-
pected to hold ahead for some little
time to come. Favorable attitude of
congress toward larger coinage and
picking up of demand in the far east
are among the immediate causes of
improvement. The weakness of cop
per is believed entirely temporary.
All conditions are favorable for ad-
vance rather than decline. Closing

we have had that matter in the hands
of our attorneys for some time, with
instructions to them to thoi oughly
sift it and report to us as to what
manner of employees come under its
regulations. AS soon as the attor-
