BELMONT MILL
ALMOST, FATAL

One of the employees in the Bel
mont mill at Millers met with an ac-
cident last evening that came near
ending his existence The name of
the injured man is Finnegan and
from what could be learned he was
attending to his duties near the bat
teries and in some way slipped and
his arm came in contact with clutch
of the line shaft and was badly
crushed. He also received several
severe scalp wounds. A telephone
message was Immediately sent to
Superintendent S. H. Brady of this
city and he left for Millers by auto,
taking with him DR.. C. L. Hammond,
who on his arrival there dressed the
wound and took a number Of stitches
in the injured mans head. Finne-
gan's condition is critical, but it is
thought he will recover. He will
probably be brought to this city on
this mornings train and be placed
in the Miners hospital.

a great many mining operations and

of our mineral resources; and
Whereas, the number of taxpayers
north of said line who oppose such
division is approximately 1900,
while the number of taxpayers south
of said line is approximately only
600; and
Whereas, the assessed valuation of
proximately $2,3OO,0OO, of which
Tonopah alone has approximately
$1,5O0,00O, the rest of the northern
portion 100000, and the railroad
companies only 100000, making
Tonopah by far the lagrest commun-
ity of taxpayers to be affected by
such change; and
Whereas, there was at the late
election approximately 210O voters
north of said proposed line, while
south of said line there were less
than $50 votes cast, and it is safe to
say that SO per cent of the electors
and taxpayers north of said line
strongly object to and oppose such
plan of division, and large per-
centage south of sasd line also OPP
pose and object to the same; and
Whereas, such plan was not in
any way mentioned during the late
campaign, and was in no way known
of or an issue therein; and
Whereas, had the same been
certain that those favoring it could
not by any possible chance have been
elected;
Now, therefore, be it and it hereby
is by the citizens and taxpayers of
Tonopah and vicinity, in massmeet-
ing assembled on the 9th day of

PASSES STRONG
RESOLUTIONS
AT the Mass Meeting Held to Discuss Pro-
posed Division of Nye County, ReSO-
IutiOnS Were Adopted Opposing the
Plan.

The committee appointed at the
mass meeting Wednesday evening to
draw up resolutions against the pro-
posed plan of county division which
by Clay Tallman of Rhyolite, met
last night in the law offices of Nc
Intoch and Cooke and adopted the
following resolutions which will be
sent the Nye county representatives
at Carson:
Whereas, it has come to the at
tention of the citizens and taxpayers
of Tonopah that certain of the rep
resentatives of Nye county in legis-
lature now assembled at Carson City,
Nevada, are preparing to offer and
endeavor to secure the passage of a
measure proposing to divide and
make two counties of Nye county as
at present constituted, and
Whereas, very large majority Of
the taxpayers and electors of Nye
county are strongly opposed to any
plan of division, and
Whereas, the expense of admins
tering the government and affairs of
the county cannot by the most eco
nomical and conservative handling
be reduced in material degree; and
Whereas, division of the county as
proposed would reduce by about one
half the amount of property now
available for the purpose of taxation,
and thus necessitate a proportionate
increase in the assessed valuation of
the remaining property, thereby
working tremendous hardship upon
the property owners north of the
proposed line of division; and
Whereas, of the taxable property
south of said proposed line of d.
vision, assessed at valuation of APP
proximately $2,40O,O0O, the various
railroads running through the county
south of said line pay upon a valua-
tion of about three-fourths of the
total, to wit: approximately $1,S75,-
900, an dthe remaining property
owners south of said line pay on the
assessed valuation of approximately
only 100000; and
Whereas, it cannot be conceived
that the railroads building theil
lines through Nye county did SO fol-
the express benefit of the southern
portion of said county, or for the
purpose of contributing three-fourths
of the proceeds and cash necessary
for the support of the new county
or otherwise than for the reason
that it was the only accessible route
for reaching tonnage at Goldfield
Tonopah and Northern Nye county
compared with which tonnage tn,
southern portion of Nye county offer,
practically nothing; and
Whereas, a large percentage of tn,
property owners, exclusive of tn,
railroad companies, south of sait
proposed line also object to and op
pose such proposed division; and
Whereas, the necessary increase ii
the assessed valuation of propert,
north of said line would not only b.
burdensome, but, at the present rat
for state and county purposes, pro
hibitive and destructive of propert
and business interests, and woul,
strike at the very root of the grea
mining industry of this section, pos
