this report was made mp and forwarded
it showed that the gross receipts of the
Eureka Office for the year ending Jone

600. Not a bad showing for old Eu-
reka-that has been without a railroad
and has been otherwise handicapped
for more than a year.

WASHOE ExEMPTS MORTGAGES
The New State Law Will Not Be OBJ
served in That County This Year

Reno Gazette: After worrying their
brains and the brains of the District At
torney for several moons and disturb
ing the tranquility of many money
lenders holding mortgages, the County
Commissioners, Messrs. Perkins, Ferris
and Robinson, to-day decided to disre.
gard the new mortgage tax law passed
by the last Legislature. The Board of
Commissioners sitting as q Board of
Equalization for several days had de-
cided to try and obey the new law and
summoned about 500 mortgage holders
to appear aud show cause why they
should not be taxed on the mortgages
they hold. They found that it would
be impossible to go through the whole
list of mortgage holders and to assess
all Of them fairly within the time re-
quired by law. and they were greatly
disturbed, as were the money lenders.
To-day the board, after q conference
with the District Attorney, decided
that the law could not be put into ef-
feet aud unanimously decided to disre.
gard it.
This will make the mortgage holders
feel good, for the law is now a dead
letter for this year. as far as this county
is concerned.

Tonopah Is Booming

County Commissioner Alex Fraser re-
turned to Eureka Thursday from his
trip to California and q couple of
weeks visit at Tonopah. Mr.. Fraser
says that the recent strikes of large
bodies of ore in the deeper workings of
the mines at Tonopah has given re-
newed life to the people there, and that
the increased work in the development
of many old and new mining properties
is making that place one of the liveliest
and best camps on the coast.

is in good swing and moving along
with interesting results. The ore vein
that was lost by reason Of . big fault in

a new ore body has been picked mp
that adds to the interest Of the develop.
ment work. This was done by drift
ing to the west OF the point where the
fault occurred. 1t 10 not yet definitely
known whether the new find IL . re-
covery Of the old vein or an entirely
new discovery. Its character differs
from the original in that there 10 more
gold aud less silver. The ore has here
sofore shown about two-thirds gold and
one-third silver, while the content Of
the more recent discovery is practically
all gold.
The new ore seems to be quite free,
while the old was base and more or less
refractory. The company has been con
Quoting numerous metallurRioal tests
with the ultimate object Of erecting Q
plant for treating the ore. The charac.
ter Of the new ore should simplify mat
ters materially in relation to the
methods of treatment. The original r
can. of course. be handled at . good
profit. but the company appears to be
in no haste and will work ont the
problems of ore treatment On the most
scientific lines and to the best possible
advantage.
The new ore body is now 2S feet in
width and the face continues to show
the same grade and character Of ore.
which averages in value about the same

inal vein q few feet below the 100

CAUSE OF CHESTNUT BLIGHT
Whitening Of Trees Is Result of Bor-
ing by Insect Between Outer
and Inner Bark.

Thomas Davy Candy of Langhorne,
near Philadelphia, declares that he
has discovered the cause of the blight
which is whitening chestnut trees in
the middle and south Atlantic states.
A boring beetle, one-siXteenth of an
inch long, black in color, which lays
it's eggs between the outer and the
inner barks, is the primary cause, he
says. Grubs are Matched from the
eggs, and these penetrate the soft in
ner bark, following its course around
the tree trunk. Above the patch OF
the borer occurs the blighted appear
ance. Myriads of the tiny worms were
found upon single tree upon Mr..
Candy's land, and the total result OF
their depredations was so extensive
that the tree, he says, appears to have
been scOrched by fire. The blight has
become so serious in Pennsylvania
that the legislature appropriated
S275,000 to a commission appointed
by the governor to investigate the
cause of the disease and to devise
ways for exterminating it.

Uncertainty of the immediate
future is looked upon by many men
of affairs, as a blockade to enter
prise and business prosperity, and
this blockade is now quite apparent
throughout the channels of trade.
The Presidential Election; the
efforts of Congress with no fixed
purpose; Organized Labor as a new
factor in politics; together with
other matters of greater or less
import, represent at this time a
chaotic conflict of separate inter-
ests, to harmonic which is now the
problem before the country.

Plenty. Read with care the Gin
