A NARROW ESCAPE.

Ed Hall was playing out of luck last
Friday. He came to town and sold a
team of horses and when about to leave
on horseback in the evening he was
thrown from the animal, his foot
caught in some manner, either in the
stirrup or rope, and was dragged some
distance before his foot became de-
tached He remained in IA semi-con-
scous condition until found in the
morning. His face was cut and bruised
to an extent that he was hardly recog-
ni2able, and his right leg stretched d
foot or two so that he had difficulty in
getting around. To add to his load of
woe he had either lost or been touched
for the money he received for the team
sold, something over 800. Being an
individual of petty tough fibre the
shaking up did not seems to trouble
Hall to any great extent, as he was
llmping around the next day. consid-
erably dishgured but still in the ring.

INSPECTED THE GoLDEN CHARIOT.

W. II. Thomas. of Spokane, prcsi-
dent Of the Golden Chariot mine, ac-
companed by G. f. Thomas, Andrew
Parker and @. a. Lundstrum. of
Browns Valley, Mimi, stockholders in
the Chariot, visited the mine Tuesday.
They were all very much pleased and
satisfied with the work done during the
past few months under the direction of
Sila, Fritz, and will go back east and
make an effort to raise more money for
the prosecution of the work. They
thinl. they have the best mine in this
region, and the showing certainly JUS
titles that belief, and invite inspection
by experts and others. The main shaft
is now over POO feet down, with about
100 feet of drifting on each of the 100
and 200 foot levels, giving an under
ground workings Of over 400 feet, and
always in good ore. the quantity and
quality increasing with depth. They
have shipped three car loads OF ore to
the Grauby smelter, each of which has
given a smelteg test of about 80 per
ton in gold, copper and a little silver,
which is certainly good strong value
in any mining country. There surely
seems to be a bright future for the
Golden Chariot.

The new system adopted by the as
SCISSORS office in the checking of the
lands and records, as far as checked
has brought the following results:
Mines and old land patented between
the years 1901 to 1907 heretofore not
on assessment roll, 4,905.95 acres,
valued this year at $20,S Lands
owned by Indians, covered by fee sim
pie patents, heretofore not on assess
ment roll, 3lS.35 acres, valued this
year approximately at $1,000. The ne
cessity of checking the county land
records with those of the government
land Office, the state land Office and the
Indian department, at least once every
two years is obvious. While the year
Y certified transcript of new land are
necessary and helpful, yet in many in
stances lands on which final certificates
have been issued have been suspended
pending an investigation. In most
cases these are only temporary, and the
certificate bearing date of Il previous
year could easily be, and apparently
have been, overlooked in making the
following years transcript. These
lands which have escaped taxation in
the past are mostly unimproved, owned
10y non-resdents, and easily missed by
the assessor, and the adoption of Il
careful and thorough checking system
is the only means 10y which these es-
capes can be avoided.
Too much credit can not be given to
the assessors force, both in the field
and writing up the rolls. Their adapt
ibility and efficiency for the work in
hand brought out the best results that
could possibly be obtained under the
working conditions in vogue and com
penSation not commensurate to the
character of the work performed.

with the result that Il pretty lively

named Ruby. The values IN the ore
ran principally to silver and when the
