BLACK HOLE Mine
CLEAR OF LIENS

The balance due on the judgment OBJ
tanned by G. d. Maekay, plaintiff,
against the Chafey Mines company and
Charles Harlowe, defendants, was sat
isfed in full this morning, when H.
Warren, attorney for Harlowe, paid
over to Bonnifeld & Brandon, plant
$3,0S5.62 allowed by the court.
Some months ago, when the famous
/" Black Hole' mine was closed down,
the miners who had been working for
+. S. Chafey and the Chafey Mines
company pooled their claims and as
signed them to G. d. Mackay for col
lection. The latter filed a lien on the
property, obtaining judgment in the
sum mentioned The mine was owned
by the Chafey Mines company and
Charles Harlowe, the former having a
tbreefourths and the latter one
fourth interest. About the time the
lien was filed, E. S. Mccormick, the
Salt Lake banker, foreclosed a mort
gage he held on that portion of the
mine owned by the Cnafey Mines com
pany, and the property was sold at
sheriff s sale last November, being bid
in by the mortgagee The mortgagors
are allowed by law six months from the
date of sale in which to redeem their
property, but it is not considered likely
that they will do so.
This mortgage, however, did not COW
er the undivided onefourth owned by
Charles Harlowe, and his interest
would have been clear from the me-
chanics' liens, as well, had he posted
proper notices in the mine notifying
the miners that they must look to the
Chafey Mines company for their
wages. This he evidently failed, to do
with the result that he has been com
PEELED to pay out the amount of the
Judgment to protect his interest in the
mine.
The "Black Hole'' is believed to be
one of the richest gold mines in the
state, and it is hoped, now that it has
been finally taken out of the meshes of
the law, that it may again be started
up, thus adding another producer to the
county credit.

NORTH CAROLINA BONDS
RETURNED, WITH THANKS

A Carson City dispatch states that
the state of Nevada has now disposed
of the North Carolina bond business
and henceforth it would be well for
bond sharks to be more careful in Sc
lecting states when contemplating to
use the self same commonwealths as
collection agencies.
1t was by a unanimous vote yester-
day after that the assembly passed
the measure repeating that section of
the statute whereby the governor is
bound to accept gifts.
Almost at the same minute the
bonds in question were delivered to
Governor 7. l.. Oddie in this private
office by Wells, Fargo Co., and the
package politely refused.
DO you wish to make any pro
visions in your refusal?' queried the
express company agent.
None at all, - replied the state 5
chief executive, and the bonds were
carried back to the express office,
where they will be shipped back to
the original owners in New York.
The repeating of the act was taken
up as special order of business dur
ing the afternoon session, on the
receipt of senate bill No. 2, which was
introduced last week by Mack, of
Douglas.

FILES CERTIFIED COPY OF
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

Yesterday The Hally Mining Com
pany, a Washington company filed a
certified copy of its articles Of incor-
poration with Clerk Davey. The in
corporators are Michael f. Hally,
Louis g. Wheeler and Henry W. Lung.
M. r. Hally and DR.. Wheeler are well
known here, being among the first
operators at National From the fact
that certified copy of their articles
of incorporation have been filed in this
county, it is fair presumption that
the company intends to engage in
mining operations at National or some
other Humboldt county camp.

NEW IRRIGATION DISTRICT
FORMED IN ELKO COUNTY

The commissioners Of Elko county
have granted the petition to organize
the Fort Halleck irrigation district,
situated near the Seventy One ranch,
in Secret valley. This project will take
in about $4,000 acres.
1t is proposed to build dam st the
foot of the valley, to conserve millions
of gallons of water annually that now
goes to waste every spring. 1t Is esti-
mated that the conservation of this
water will be the means Of bringing
into the state hundreds of colonists,
who will settle on the land and at once
commence the work of tilling the soil.
Consullor Allen, of Denver, appeared
before the board and explained the
plan of the company in detail. He
stated that the WORK would be COM
menced as soon as the weather permits,
and that within year the hills, which
waste, will be a garden spot, and that
every line Of industry would be bene-
fted by the advent of the newcomers,
as they must be furnished with COM
modities, and this would mean the
erection of new stores, and these, in
turn, would benefit the entire state, as
one enterprise naturally gives stimu-
lus to other lines.
The law authorizing the organization
of irrigation districts was passed by
Nevada legislature, but the act has not
been taken advantage Of until the
present time. 1t is thought that this
action ON the part of the commissioners
in Elko county will be followed by
those in other portions Of the state.

WORK BEGUN ON
HEATING PLANT

w. w. Richardson, of the Reno
Heating company, arrived in Winnie
mucea on No. this morning, and at
9 clock commenced the work of in
stalling the new heating plant in the
Nixon opera house.
1t is thought that the job will not
require more than week Is time, and
that by the first of February the opera
house will again be booking attrac-
tions. The house committee is in COM
munication with several firstclass at
fractions, but it is not likely that any
contracts will be made until the steam
plant has been tested and found to be
in perfect order.

tice on the Louisianans that San Fran
cisco would appear before the rules
committee ana ask for special rule for
immediate consideration in the house
OF the fair issue. 1t is hoped to have
the rule reported not later than Thurs
day.
"All right, was the only response
receiver from the southerners.
The rules committee, if it acts, will
probably provide for q submission with
the San Francisco resolution the report
that the arts and exposition committee
is expected to report favoraDly to New
Orleans on Tuesday. The issue will
thus be joined on the floor.
San Francisco has kept ~ an active
campaign by telegraph, and it il ex-
pected that the appeal, particularly
from the west and from the country in
general, will be showing results in the
way of flood Of kilograms to mem-
bers of congress and high oficialdom.
Having lost out before the congres-
sional committee on arts and exppsi-
ton, San francisco is now redOubling
its efforts to secure the coveted prize.
a system of kilograms has been inaugu-
fated, and the wires are beginning to
hum with messages to President Taft
and members of congress urging the

FORGER PHILLIPS CLIMBS A
TREE, BUT Is CAPTURED

After leading the state police and
the sheriff of Dayton merry chase
for two days, during which he baffied
all pursuit, E. g. Phillips was cap
tured Yesterday afternoon by Ser
geants Taylor and Stone of the state
police, near Bowers g mansion. Phillips
was brought to Carson on the local and
lodged in Jail
With an ingenuity and perseverance
born of two recent Jail breaks, Phil
lips resources did not desert him even
in the face of almost certain capture.
His last trick was to climb a trea, and
he was in the tree when the officers
caught him.
Phillips was on the highway near
Bowers mansion and the officers
having separated, were closing in from
opposite directions. Both saw him and
he saw them.
Phillips took across the fields, quar-
tering, thinking that he could get
away again, but the officers cut across
also and tracked him to place where
there were no more tracks. They
looked up the tree and saw him.
The fugitive came down without
further protest and made no further
resistance.
The prisoner admitted later in Car
son that on the first night of his es-
cape he slept in a section house near
Lakeview. The second night he slept
in huting cabin on the shore of the
lake. He was well tired out but not
exhausted.
The prisoner now faces two charges
of escape and will be closely guarded.
The last escape was effected with the
aid of stove poker applied to Yale

MORE TRAINS
ON WESTERN PAC|F|C

1t is announced, on good authority,
that beginning with April ! the Bur
lington will run daily through train
the tracks of the ID. & r. g. from Den
yer to Salt Lake City and those of the
Western Pacific from the latter town
to San Francisco. 1t is also reported
that officials of the d. q r. G.. and
Rock Island are now considering the
advisability of running a through
daily passenger train from Chicago to
the coast.
The running of one or both Of these
trains will mean much to Winnemucca.
A short time ago Superintendent
Ogilvie removed the passenger terminal
from Elko to Winnemucca, and the five
passenger crews, aggregating Is men,
now lay over here. In case both pro-
posed trains are installed, it will nyean
10 additional crews, with an aggregate
of 80 men, who will make their homes
here.
1t is understood that the Elko bust
ness men are taking steps to induce the
Western Pacific to change the pas
senger terminal back to that town,
and to that end are circulating a
petition among their citizens How
ever, Winnemucca has little to fear.
The move was made for purely business
reasons, which have not changed, nor
are they likely to do So The men
themselves would perhaps be consulted
with regard to their preferences in the
matter, and they are a unit for Win
nemueca.

ture as whole on the election laws,
for It is assured that legislation on this
subject, relative to primary elections,

The task Of revising the laws has
been under way for the past two years,
and when complied Nevada will have a
volume OF complide laws that will be a
credit to the state.

est For unimproved land is taxed the
same as improved land.
Land would be taxed on its market
value.
The net result, the sigle takers say,
is that the people who are holding
vacant land for stiff price would
have to put II TO use. And they could
afford to, as there Is no tax on the
buildings to be erected there.
Why should we sting" the land
holders2 you ask.
Who gave the land its value? the
single taxer reply. The people of Ia
coma gave IL value. A corner In the
heart of city Is valuable only be-
cause thousands of people pass there
every day. It's no better land than
that on the outskirts.
The growth OF Tacoma has made
the downtown corner valuable
The people are entitled TO the in
creased value that they created, the
single tax men say.
But the single tax advocates have
long, hard row to hoe. II will take
constitutional amendment to give
the municipalities the right Of single
land tax. Then there will be the
fight with big BUSINESS The cor
porations won't sit idly by and let
single tax pass because single tax
means that the corporations must pay
their share OF the public expense, In
stead of forcing Mr.. Citizen to foot
the bill
In this city plans are under for the
circulation OF petitions asking for sub
mission to the voters Of an amend
ment providing for single tax. Bel
bingham il also taking up the subject
and Seattle isalso thinking seriously
Of single tax.
The single tax idea promises 20 be-
come Just as big an Issue in Wash
ington before long as recall OF the
judiciary has become throughout the
country.
