STATE ASSESSORS
Fix Assessment Rates on Pub
lie Utility Lines, Etc,

The state board of assessors have de-
cided on fixing the valuation of stock
cattle at $13 per head for assessment
purposes. The rate on thoroughbred
cattle is to be fixed by local inspection.
The rate on sheep is fixed at So. buck
sheep So, goats 81, while the rate on
hogs is left to the assessor of the coun-
ty. The rate Of taxation on the Western
Union telegraph lines was fixed at $40
per mile per wire. If three strands, the
rate will be $120 per mile. Taxation of
the Postal Telegraph company, telephone
and electric power lines were left to the
assessors of the counties individually.
The Pullman company was also given
a rating. The valuation was fixed at
$3.50 per mile on the Central Pacific
railroad and the Salt Lake and on other
roads at 800 per mile.
1t is thought the fixing OF the Wells
Fargo rate will develop lively contest.
A motion was made to fix the rate at
$500 a mile as before, but no action on
the motion was taken.
Assessments rates on the railroads is
being considered, and the Nevada rail-
road commission is invited to attend
the meeting.

FERTILE NEVADA
Pastures Green, Lowing Kline and
the Publicity Commission

Sam Davis, chairman OF the state
publicity and industrial commission, in
his report calls attention to the fact
that very little can be seen of Nevada
from the car window. Tourists passing
through the state get an erroneous i'm
preston that Nevada is all desert. In
reality there are thousands of square
miles in northern Nevada where the
eye in days travel rests upon nothing
but stretches of green fields.
There are square miles in Elko
county, where natural grass grows waist
high and clover eighteen inches high in
the same grass. Vast herds of cattle
are fattened here for the outside market
and are hung in the butcher stalls as
Christmas beef that have never tasted
anything but the native grass Of Ne
vada, and this beef brings a cent a
pound more than any beef raised in
California. The lands on which this
nutritious grass grows never needs a
drop of artificial irrigation.
You can ride for forty miles through
Washoe county and never for an instant
be out of sight OF fruit orchards where
fruit is raised for the London market.
1t can be shipped around the world and
keep crisp and succulent when apples
raised by artificial irrigation in Cali
fornia, and having no winter behind
them, are spongy and tasteless a few
weeks after being picked.
There are stretches of country in Lin
coin and Clark county where springs
capable of irrigating thousands OF acres
gush from the foot of the hills in un-
ceasing flow the year round.
There are tracts in southern Nevada
on the same isothermal line as Los An
geles which produce oranges and lemons
and all the semi-tropical fruits.
There are square miles of alfalfa in
Humboldt county where hundreds oi
y ousarde Ct cattle aIo fcd in 'F;4i. q
and farmers are getting Independent of
the products of the soil.
Douglas county is said to contain
more wealth per capita than any county
in the United States which is strictly
agricultural.
Eureka, Lander, Nye, Esmeralda,
Armsby, Lyon and White Pine and vast
stretches of agricultural country, and it
may be safely said that every county in
Nevada is agricultural except Storey,
which with its seven hundred millions
of metal production, may be excused
from contributing to the agricultural
wealth of the state"

VEGAS CLIMATE
Natures SanitOrium ---- InVisOr-
atinS and Healthful

There is no section of the country in
the United States that is stronger in
conditions necessary for health and
peace of mind that comes with health
than is Las Vegas, town and valley.
There is something in the climate
here that gives strength to the weak,
builds up the worn, quiets the nervous,
rests the tired, gives buoyancy to the
hopeless, and in all cases makes life
worth the living.
The climate is mild and the air so
pure that every breath is health. Now
in midwinter, wraps are almost un-
known, fires are for appearances. We
simply cannot comprehend what it
means to have ice, snow and zero
weatl az is the kind now prevailing
throughout most of the east and north
of us. The altitude is so high that
there are no impurities to breathe, and
the vigor and health of such climate
gives happiness to disposition, and
peace to mind.
The scenery is quitting for those who
have nervous disorders. The broad
spaces covered with sage brush and
mesquite, the soft yellows of the sands
and in the distance in all directions the
mountains. That rim of mountains
surrounding the valley of thousands of
acres - a never ending pleasure. The
study of the shifting light and shade
that fit over the mountains every hour
in the day is a dream.
There is so much of interest in the
life of this desert; the many varities of
sage brush; the wonderful delicacy of
desert holly, the enhancing scenery
the industrial, agricultural and mining
growth soon convinces the most de-
termined unbeliever that there is life
on the desert, that there is health here,
there is rest here, there is quiet here,
there is growth here.

CLARK COUNTY
Representatives Leave to Attend
Session Of Legislature

Senator George Bergman, state sem
ator from Clark county and Representa-
tives Willard l.. Jones and James T.
Donohoue left this morning for Carson
to attend the session of the states legis-
lature which convenes Monday, January
10th at the state capitol building in
Carson City.
Mr.. Donohoue is reported to be a
candidate for speaker, and it would be
quite feather in the cap of Clark
county, which has for the first time
elected it's own representatives,, if he
should be the winner.
The present session of the Nevada
legislature will be watched with keen
interest by residents of this section gen.
orally. Practical legislation covering
codification of the Nevada statutes, laws
modifying appropriation of water for
public use, taxation of lines OF trans
portation, making for a more uniform
tax rate, the irrigation and reclamation
of public lands are among the questions
to be subjects of deliberation, in all of
which the interests of Clark county
should receive careful consideration.

TRAILING QUEHO
Systematic Search Being Made
for Supposed Murderer

Queho, the bad Indian, is in a bad
fix. A band OF whites and Indians
making up what is probrbly the most
determined band of scouts and trailers
remaining in the west today, men who
are tireless on the trail, perservering
and never failing in carrying out their
purposes; who know all the ways oil
savage cunning, and who are familiar
with the country in which he is hiding,
are after Mr.. Queho.
At the head OF the band is Sergt
Newberg, of the state police, who has
been authorized to take up the chase.
Assisting him are Ike Alcock and ]. Z.
Babcock, both famous as scouts. The
whites have with them six Indians ei
the Piute tribe, all anxious to rid the
country of the peril OF murderous,
crazy Queho.
Bill, on account Of his intimate
knowledge of the country, is acting as
guide. Bill comes from Eldorado Can
yon, bringing with him Cap. Mullen,
Dennis Kearney and Stub, to assist.
Jack and Mayhem, both Vegas Indians
are also members of the party.
Dennis Kearney is no spring chicken.
Fifteen years ago, Mouse killed two
white men, prOspectors from San Ber-
nardino near the mouth of Vegas Wash.
Kearney took his trail, following by
day and by night, like the fates, finally
overtaking and killing Mr.. Mouse near
the Muddy Valley.
Two years later, Avote killed five
whites in the Eldorado district. Kear-
ney and Vegas Jack cornered the mur-
derer on Cottonwood Island in the
Colorado river, where he was calmly,
gently and Systematically killed bv a
relative, one of Avote's hands being cut
off and brought back to civilization a.
proof of good lob.
Queho, the object OF the present hun
was born in Eldorado Canyon and LIVED
there an inOffensive red man, until he
spent few months In contact with
civilazitation and bad whisky last wear
The murder Of old man Woodbury. a
few months ago at his camp near
Searchlight, and the murder OF the
watchman at tha Gold Bug mill more
recently are laid to Queho. The Indi-
ans and proepectors are both fearful
OF the crazy Indian, believing that he
will kill without mercy anyone he NAV
meet. 1t is very probable that Mr.,
Queho's days are numbered consid
ering those who are alter him.

NEED OF PUBLICITY
Agricultural and Other Resources
Require Advertising

In late edition of the State Journal,
we noticed an interview with o. r.
Blackburn of Chicago, that was of vital
interest to the progressive men OF the
state. Mr.. Black burns business is to
colonize sections and he knows whereof
he speaks. He claims that all that is
necessary to bring settlers to Nevada is
to advertise the agricultural resources of
the state
''You cannot make the people of the
east delieve in the agricultural resources
OF Nevada if you don't believe in them
yourself. Other states advertise and ad-
vertise heavily. In fact, Nevada Is the
only state that fails to appropriate some
money for legitimate publicity. The
people think that the only reason New
ada does not advertise is because New
ada has nothing worth advertising. l
find on investigation that Nevada has a
soil as good as any in the U. S. for ag-
ricultural purposes: that by means of
irrigation that soil has produced crops
equal to any: and l learn that dry
farming is successful and paying ven
ture in this state.
l find out these things because l
came here to find out about such mat
ters but the average farmer will not
come merely to investigate something
of (which he: knows nothing and of
which nothing is claimed. The average
farmer is affected by what he reads
like the rest of us. When he sees ref
erence to the productive power of New
ada soil he is interested, but he rarely
sees anything of the kind.
The business OF advertising a section
or state has come almost to be science.
1t is done through the medium of at
tractive literature; of display advertis
ing at opportune times in the eastern
and middle-west papers; and through
reading matter judiciously distributed
IN t',o eou =, $ papers Of rural coInnlun-
tiles.
l recently had a talk with banker
in Iowa. You know that Iowa has
lost in population during the last few
years due to the Improvisation OF the
SOIL This banker said he did not know
much about Nevada except that it had
number of wildcat mines and he
laughed at the idea of farms. He did
say however that he had received a lot
OF information about Sacramento valley
and he was coming out soon to look the
gronnd over. The people of Sacramento
valley have appropriated quarter of
a million dollars to be expended in ad-
vertising that section in the next few
years.
He states he is overwhelmed with
pamphlets and descriptive literature
from Cal. and Oregon but has nothing
from Nevada.
These are the views of a man who
has made business of sending colon
lists to the west and who knows from
actual experience of the needs of proper
advertising.

A Big Irrigation Project

A project that will be of great benefit
to Flko county has been started in the
building of dam across Rock Creek
and utilizing the water to irrigate an
immense tract of land owned by the
Golconda Cattle Company. 1t is
claimed that $4,000 acres will be pro-
vided with needed water and planted

elect from California is the president of
this company.

Experiments in Dry flaming

An experiment in dry farming has
been tried by a rancher living near
Wells in Elko county. A year ago last
fall he fenced in an acre of arid ground
plowed the soil deep, sowed and rolled
it. During the winter there was lit
tie moisture and practically none dur
ing the summer. His yield from the
acre was As bushels of wheat. This was
deemed so successful that this fall he
has put 600 acres in wheat. This land
is arid land the moisture being supplied
almost entirely by lie s',b-soil.

If you have worked hard to build up
a successful store, don't advertise so

you had succeeded.

U. s. Smelling
 Representatives Here.

Last week Pres. Sharp, of the U. $. Smelling company, accompanied by his secretary, visited all the mines of the company in this county, going from Gold Road to Needles, where he looked over the interests of the company at that point. Last night Frederick Lyon, vice-president of the company, accom- panied by A. P. Anderson, field engin- eer of the company, arrived here from Mexico and will remain several days inspecting properties. It is said the representatives of this great corpora tion are well pleased with their invest ment in this county and contemplate great things before another year rolls around. The company is now the own CT of the Gold Road mines, one of the richest gold properties in the south west, besides base ore mines at Chlo- ride, Cerbat and Stockton Hill, from which a great tonnage of ore may he expected when brought to a better stage of development

Col. H. L. Picket is a candidate for U. $. senator on the democratic ticket, and we are free to confess that we rather incline to the belief that the people of Arizona will give him boost in that direction.
 The work of removing the buildings now occupying the site of the proposed bank and postoffice, on the corner of Fourth and Beale streets, will be con- menced next week. The new building is to be of concrete and pressed brick and will face front fifty feet on Fourth street and forty feet on Beale. The plans have been completed and show handsome design.

We understand that the preliminary work of the Chuckawala Valley Devel- opment company has developed the fact that bedrock lies at depth of about 90 feet below the water level of the Colorado river. at Bulls Head. where this company is preparing 10 construct huge dan for power pur- poses. As soon as the preliminary work is complete the company will perfect plans for the construction of a reinforced concrete structure that will withstand the gigantic force of the Colorado river at flood time. The dam will be one of the largest in the world. surpassing that of the great Roosevelt dam in Salt River valley and the Path finder dam in Wyoming. It will not be used for the empounding of water, but will be an overflow dam, the silt gradually filling behind the structure until It raises the level of the river bed to practically the night of the dam. The company is capitalized at fifteen millions of dollars, which will give the projectors ample means for the com pletiou of the project. The power will be carried to the Chuckawala valley, about 80 miles. where it will be used to pump water onto the big tracts of land owned by the company, and also furnish power for many big plants along it's route.

A. w. Bratland. general manager of
 the Hercules Mining x Milling con-
 pany, was in from the mines yesterday attending to important business for
 that corporation. He reports mining matters in his section improving with every days work, and it is his belief that one of the most important mining
 fields in the territory will be opened
 up. At all'the mines development is
 being pushed with feverish haste and nowhere is the mine owner failing in results. Some of the big operators in the copper mines of the territory are expected in the field this fall and win ter and they are expected to take over a number of promising groups of mines. At the Hercules big pump is expect ed and as soon as installed the work of pushing the shaft to the 300 will be pushed as fast. as possible. This prop erty is equipped with one ofthe finest electrical plants in the county and Is conveniently situated to the Tom Reed and Gold Road camps.
 The Desert Power & Water company is getting in the foundation of its new addition to the big plant and will soon have the walls in process of construc- tion. c. w. Miller has the contract and is using a power mixing machine of large capacity. Practically all the concrete for the foundation sfor the walls and boilers was poured in one day. The building is to be the same size or larger than the original build ing. The new boilers are here and when in commission will double the present capacity of the plant. The plant will be one of the largest dis tributors of power in the territory.
 Richard Loyd, one ofthe best known mining men of the coast. has been looking over the mining field in this county the past week. in company of J. s. Withers. Loyd examined the Klondike Mine, at Virginia camp, and was well pleased with the showing on the property. He also examined sev- eral other properties. It is his opinion that Mohave county offers the best opportunity to the mining investor of any part of the southwest.
 The wagon road that is being built over the Wallapai mountain by the Arizona Southwestern Copper company has reached the east side of the divide and is now going down on easy grade toward the mines. Practically all the rock work has been completed and it will be but a short time until the road is ready for travel.
 Considerable ore is being shipped from the mines south of Yuma to the smelters. The greater part of the ore comes from the south end of the mountains and Is rich in gold and copper.

A Months Run of Tom Reed

Last Tuesday General Manager s. s. Jones, of the Tom Reed Gold Mines company, accompanied by his wife, came to Kingman bringing with hIm the cleanup of the last months run of the thirty stamp mill. The cleanup resulted in three bars weighing 295 pounds, avoirdupois, and valued at ap- proximately 7O,OOOS. The bars were handsome gold cones that were good to look at and hard to get, outside a gold mire of the capacity of the Tom Reed. The mill has been doing good work the past month and with better water facilities ought to be turning out nearly lOO,OOOS monthly. It is that the lower levels are showing up wonderful bodies of high grade milling ore, and the extent of the ore body has increased several hundred feet along the vein.
