OPENING UP THE old
TENNESSEE PROPERTY

The Mohave Miner reports that the
Needles Mining & Smelling company
has cut the Tennessee vein at a depth
Of 200 feet and that the old works will
be ~un-watered to that depth at once.
Below the 200 level in the old shaft,
the shaft is said to be in perfect con-
dition to the 600, or rather is believed
to be in good condition, and the old
shaft can be used instead of driving
the new shaft down to that depth. By
draining the mine through the new
shaft to the 200 it will be possible to
catch up the ground from the 200 to the
surface in the old shaft and work the
mine through that opening.
As soon as the mine is unwatered the

there is a fine body of lead ore, and on
the levels above that point there are big

D|CKERSON SENDS LETTER
TO VOTERS OF NEVADA

people of the state, as the minutes of
the board of assessors will show that
35 per cent is the lowest valuation any
assessor place on property in his
county. (See minutes of state board
of assessors for 1910, pages 81 and
62.) Especial credit is due Assessors
Wyatt, Regain, Heinrichs and Randall
for the raise in valuation that was OBJ
tanned. They made a splendid fight
in the interest of the people.
The increase in the valuation of the
Central Pacific railroad for the year
1910 placed $4,275,000 more property
on the tax roll of the state, on which
will be paid into the state and county
treasures $685. The small taxpayer
who has been paying more than his
proportion of taxes in years past will
be relieved to this extent, and the
Southern Pacific, which has never paid
its just proportion, will be forced to
contribute a little nearly more its
share of the expenses of government.
The raise in value of the Central
Pacific for this year will of itself per-
init of a reduction of four cents in the
state tax rate.
The Pullman company and the
Wells.Fargo company will, for the
first time, pay something like their
just proportion of taxes this year,
through my efforts before the board of
assessors.
| do not claim all the credit for
this increase in the value of the
Southern Pacific; all I claim is that |
have been instrumental in bringing it
about.
In 1891, the state board of equal
~ization fixed the valuation on the Cen
trail Pacific at $4,000 a mile. A
little more than two years ago, when
assumed control of the governors of
fee, the valuation was SIT 500 a mile
An increase of $4,000 in seventeen
wears. In other words, the valuation
has been raised nearly three times as
much in the last two years as 1T was
in the preceding seventeen years.
In conclusion, ] want to say that II
nominated and elected, / will in the
future, as in the past, give the state a
clean. honest, business administration,
treating all classes of our citizens with
fairness and justice.
If you are satisfied with my record
and believe my promises as to future
action, | shall appreciate your sup
mort and endeavor to merit 1t. II you
are interested in my fight for clean
government, uninfluenced and uneon-
trolled by the great Southern Pacihc
corporation, or any other corporation
seeking to exploit the people of TINS
state, will you kindly hand this letter
to your n%eighbor?
Respectfully yours,

Governor d. s. Dickerson has issued
a letter which is being sent to the
voters through the mails. 1t sets forth
reasons why he is asking denomination
at their hands and promises as clean an
administration in the future as in the
past.
says:
During the three years 1 have acted
as your governor i have worked inces-
sanity to equalize the burden which
each taxpayer must shoulder. In do.
ing this / was forced to incur the en-.
nifty of the Southern Pacific company,
the all.powerful in the politics of this
state.
The average taxpayer is assessed
on about 90 per cent of the actual
cash value of his property. 1 found,
upon assuming charge OF the COVER
nor Is Office, that the Southern Pa
ciic company was paying taxes on less
than 13 per cent of the actual cash
value of its property. The state rail
road commission was ordered to pre-.
pare a full statement showing by the
testimony of the officials of the South
ern Pacific company the actual cash
value of its property, the rate of inter
est the Southern Pacific war earning on
the valuation, and sucn other informa-
tion as might be useful to the state
board of assessors in fixing a valuation
on that company's property.
These statements were accordingly
prepared and submitted to the state
board of assessors at the January
meeting, in 1909. An affidavit of the
auditor of the Southern Pacific COM
pany, on file in the United States
circuit court in Carson, in which the
auditor made oath that the Central
Pacific railroad, owned, or at least
operated by the Southern Pacific COM
DdHN, was Nolth ooiutthAhS oNtt wv
900 a mile, and tabulated statements
taken from the sworn reports of the
Southern Pacific company to the rail-
road commission of Nevada showing
that the Southern Pacific company was
earning over 6 per cent interest on that
valuation, was submitted to the board
of assessors. The board of assessors
ignored the data submitted and by a
vote of ten to -four turned down my
request that the valuation on the en-
trail Pacific railroad be placed at $50,
900 per mile. By a vote of eight to
six a valuation of $4,000 a mile was
turned down. Seven assessors, Beard
of Washoe, Wightman of Churchill,
Weathers of Elko, McTerry of Eureka,
Leonard of Humboldt, Lemaire of Ian
der and Roeder of Lincoln, voted
against a valuation of $lS,500 per mile.
The vote was a tie and it was necessary
for me to cast the deciding vote TO Sc
cure a raise III the Valuatioh VI Inv
Central Pacific of a thousand dollars
over the previous year. The seven as
SCISSORS named voted at all times against
a raise in the valuation of the Central
Pacific.
In the January meeting of 1910 /
asked for a valuation of $4,000 per
mile on the Central Pacific. After a
session lasting several days, a valua-
ton of $4,000 a mile was agreed up
on. it being the best that could be OF

felt under greater obligations to the
Southern Pacific company than to the
