"In Eureka County the reports show
a steady increase for each Of the four
quarters of last year. The immense
tonnage Of ore in that county is offset
by the low.grade quality. With a
bullion production of approximately
$780, 200. the bullion tax amounted to
about 5000. This is explained by the
heavy cost attached to handling this
output. 1t is the belief of this Office
that the officials of Eureka County
are using every effort to see that the
revenue sources Of both the State and
county are being cared for ms regards
the bullion tax. as we'll as the license

The census branch of the Department

Western Canada's grain yield for 1908,

The Government takes great interest
in the education of the people and

schools though graded differently than

the limited and inadequate railway fa-
cilities, but new roads are being rapid
