the state that the assessment has ex-
ceeded $400,000,000. In 1899 the total

twenty-five per cent. over the amount

way dependent on the outcome Of the Zeal
between the former concern and the Nevada

Is being made by some Of the stockholders
OF the Nevada company.
Notwithstanding this opposition. IL Is ex-

carried out. Hayden. Stone & Co. who
