ASSESSOR BUSY
PREPARING The
LIST OF TAXES
MUCH WORK REQUIRED TO AR
RANGE THE AMOUNTS DUE
THE COUNTY.

The assessors Office is one of the
busiest places about the court house
these days. The force of clerks are
working steadily arranging the tax
lists. At this time Rhyolite prop
critics have all been entered in the
big book. While there has been a
falling off in that locality due to
dull times, which, by the way, the
entire county has been experiencing,
the amount will show that Rhyolite
is still on the map. In Tonopah,
there will be practically no change
from the former assessment. If
there is any change it will be for
the better. The county will receive
no help from the taxes until De-
cember, but owing to the magnitude
of the work it is necessary to start
in early putting the names of the
property owners and the amounts
which the assessor assesses them fol-
in record. The board of equalization
meets in September at which time
the rolls are examined.

.CABRILLO Will
Be BURIED ON
NEXT SUNDAY
BROTHER IN OAKLAND WILL
ARRIVE TO BE PRESENT
AT SERVICES.

The funeral of the late George
Cabrillo, who came to his death
Wednesday morning in the Belmont
mine by being blown up in an ex-
plosion of dynamite, will take place
Sunday under the auspices of the
Miners union, of which organiza-
ton the deceased was a member.
The delay was occasioned by the
news that brother, resident of
Oakland, would be here at that time
to attend the services.
Zarcovich, who emerged from a
terrible experience with his life, is
getting along nicely. 1t will be
many days before he will be able
to be out. His wounds are many
and painful, but will not cost him
his life.
1t is understood Cabrillo was 6
man of considerable means. Hi:
brother will likely take up the mat
ter of inquiring into his financia
condition when he arrives here.

IS COMPLETE

The police of Tonopah state that
the Identification of H. F. Kunakicke
as being the man who was found
dead upon the desert the early part
of the week is most complete. Since

on his journey back to Goldfield. The
news was published exclusively in
the Bonanza and the story attracted
a great deal Of attention. Efforts
will now be made by the officials to
ascertain whether or not he had a
family and If so whether or not they
will want the body.
Inquiries made yesterday threw nc

tom KENDALL'S
18th BIRTHDAY
IS OBSERVED
LARGE PARTY GATHERS AT THE
KENDALL RESIDENCE TO
BANQUET.

Yesterday was Tom Kendall's
birthday. And consequently Tom
observed the occasion by keeping
the fact a secret from all his
friends. That is from the majority,
for last evening the news leaked
out and inside of half an hour the
house was crowded with well wish
ers. There were also several sur
prise parties rendered Tom during
the course of the evening and every
delegation would arrive with a
choice assortment of edibles. The
first to arrive brought with them
an elegant birthday cake on which
there were twelve miniature candles
the party having heard that 1t was
Toms twelfth birthday to be cele.
brated. OF course the ladies pres.
ent started to feed Mr.. Tom with
the cake and for the next fifteen
minutes hands were kept busy. BY
the time the cake had disappeared a
bunch ladened with watermelons
were on the scene. and then the
task of feeding young Kendall WITH
this luscious fruit commenced. BY
the time the watermelons had beer

TO ENTERTAIN
MEMBERS OF The
mining CONGRESS
COMMITTEE HAS IN VIEW AUTO
RACES DURING THE VISIT
OF MEMBERS.

The committee in charge of the
reception to be rendered the MEM
bers of the American Mining con-
gress at Goldfield is busying itself
as to what entertainment shall be
afforded them during their stay in
the southern camp. One of the first
propositions to receive the attention
of the committee is series of auto
races to be held on Auto lake.
The Tonopah motorists are heart
lily in favor of such move. In
this city and in Goldfield there are
many cars of the finest make. These
machines can go some when called
upon and if the auto races are final
ly agreed upon it is more than like
ly that Tonopah will enter several
automobiles in the contests.
Auto lake, as level as billiard
table, is an exceptionally fine
stretch of ground for record per.
formances. 1t might be good idea
for the gentlemen of Goldfield to
hang up a purse or trophy which
would not only attract the loca
drivers, but which would cause some
of the outside mahouts to sit up ant
take notice.
The automobile has done mucl
for southern Nevada and this par
of the state has done much for thu
automobile. An endurance run owe
a route embracing all kinds of road
would be a novel feature. The manu-
facturers have at different time
taken great pains to advertise tina
their cars are the best because the,
have performed the best service Of
the deserts of southern Nevada. l
is more than probable that the
would enter cars in an endurance
contest. 1t is worth the effort t
try to get up such race.

quoted for sure. Following this,
six ladies bearing Melvin's food
bottles and again the honored guest
of the evening suffered himself to
be dined. In the meantime there
arrived chocolates, peanuts, popcorn
and in fact everything that is de-
lightful to the palate of the younger
set. Tom with a grim determination
sampled all the offerings until a
party laden with custard pie made
it's appearance, and then he yelled
enough"
The gathering made merry until
late hour and after congratulating
Mr.. Kendall in successfully passing SC
many summers, they dispersed.

EXCELLENT PROGRAM
FOR NEVADA CLUB

We desire to call the attention of
all lovers of music to the advertise

saying the music will be equal to
the combined efforts of any orches-

the entire program, for the gentle.

TOGNINI CASE
UP BEFORE The
DISTRICT COURT
CITED FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT
FOR VIOLATING A
DECREE.

Yesterday before Judge Averill,
Joseph Tognini appeared to show
cause why he should not be cited
for contempt of court for violating
a decree issued last May in which he
was restrained from using more than
$50 inches of water for the purpose
of irrigating his farm. 1t appears
that the Irwins, who have a prior
right to the waters of the creek,
claim that Tognini has been openly
violating the order of the court in SO
far as he has been taking from the
creek more water than he was al
lowed to do by the court. The case
is being presented thoroughly by
both sides, Attorney Burritt of Reno
appearing for Tognini, Mr.. Cooke Of
the firm of Mcintosh and Cooke
handling the Twins side of the con.
troversy
State Engineer Nicholas will prob
ably be called to testify. Under his
administration, Tognini was allowed
$50 inches of water. The testimon!
of the state engineer will be from
an engineers standpoint.
Mr.. Nicholas brought with him
model of the water weirs that ar
& uniform throughout the state. 1t |
a handsome thing and shows hoy
water is measured. There is abso
lutely no chance to cheat it. Unde
a law passed at the last session Q
the legislature, the engineer wa
compelled to make the water weir
throughout the state uniform. Thi
he has done with the result that tn
farmers themselves are highl
pleased. Mr.. Nicholas has bee
more than fortunate in consoling tn
farmers to avoid the courts. In man
localities he has got the land owner
together and had them settle thei
differences without recourse to lit
cation.
( The waters of Duckwater furnish
ed business for the courts for
great many years. Particularly
this the case since the opening up I
the Ely section, which has made tt
land there extremely valuable.

Talking About The Valley.

Although l have heard a great
deal about this wonderful country, |
must confess that l was never more
surprised in my life than | have
been at the wonderful developments
that l have seen here" stated w. B.
Ker of Parish St. Mary, Louisiana,
which claims to be the banner sugar
cane parish of that state, to a Herald
representative this morning The
cane here is the finest that I have
ever seen and l have been engaged
in the raising of cane for the past %
years. From an agricultural stand
point do not believe this Valley has
an equal in the United States. I" When
asked as to how the cane and gen.
eral conditions of this section com
pared with Louisiana, Mr.. Ker re-
piled: While we have an excellent
soil in my state, yet when you take
into consideration the climate and
general conditions of this Valley. it
must be admitted that Louisiana as
a cane country. cannot compare with
it. Mr.. Ker is an expert cane grow
er, and his opinion on this subject
is worthy of attention. He has been
in the Valley several days and had
made careful investigation before ex-
pressing himself as above. He expects
to return home in a few days. but
says he will visit the Valley again
next fall and look further into the
sugar industry in this section
