He knew that two armed men stood

The door to the stairway leading into
the armorerS shop was of iron and
heavily barred: the door opening into
the sewer was even more securely
bolted. Besides. there was n great
stone door at the foot of the passage
The keys to these two doors were
never out of the possession of Will, m
SpantZ. One of his guards held the
key to the stairway door. His only
chance lay in his ability to suddenly

which was collected from all other coun.
ty license sources. This would indicate
that gambling was more prevalent in
Nevada during the past 10 months, or
else more attention was given TO collect
ing from this important revenue source.
Liquor Revenues
The State liquor licenses also present
an interesting story. The State collects
q license from each retail liquor dealer,
each wholesaler and each druggist In
Nevada. Last year the revenu derived
by the State from this source totaled
$66. 633. For 1909, in face Of conditions
which prevailed, the total amount COL
lected from these sources figured t62,-
$40. 80.
The report contains detailed tabulatsd
statements showing just where this
money was collected during 1903. with
comparative statements covering the
same period in 1908. In retail liquor
licenses the total number was practi.
cally the same as for 1905. namely 765.
The report shows o license Of 8 cents
psr head was collected on 261 400 head
Of sheep brought here from neighbor-
ing States for grazing. The total am
ounted to s1s2, $50 for 1908.
There is q table showing that during
the year approximately 264s monthly
gambling licenses were issued as against
2444 for the same period in 1908. There
were $40 slot machines during 1909 and
254 in 1908. The comparative tables
show just where each Of these gambl-
ing games were located and the kind OF
game for which q license was issued.
Heretofore but little attention has
been given by the general public to these
apparently unimportant revenue sources.
However, q glance at the figures brings
out their Importance. Including the
bullion tax, which brought into the
State and county treasures the grand
total of el6S. 226 80 for the first mine
months Of 1909, the report shows that
the State license and bullion tax agent
