BULLION TAX Of COUNTY
INCREASED 800 PER CENT.
Great Output Of the Mines is More Fully Emphasized
by the Showing of Collector AdamSOn In the
Greater Revenue to the State

White Pine county shows an in
crease of 300 per cent in bullion tax
for the quarter ending December 81,
1910, over the previous quarter;
Esmeralda county. home of the
Gold1eld Consolidated, shows an in
crease of $4,000 for the period, while
Nye county, where is located the
Tonopah Mining eompany's property
and the Belmont mine, there has
been a very slight decrease.
l.. F.. Adamson, bullion tax col
lector arrived here on Friday night,
since which time he was busy with
the sheriff and assessors Offices, and
with the big company at MeGill until
he left yesterday morning. Since
leaving Carson, Mr.. Adamson has
taken in Nye, Esmeralda, Lincoln,
and Clark counties in addition to
White Pine, and 1t was from him
that the foregoing figures were OBJ
tanned.
1t is quite evident that the new
bullion tax collector, following out
the policies of the Oddie admins
tration, is going to see to 1t that the
state will get what is coming to it in
the way of revenue, as far as his Of
flee is concerned. He has shown this
as far as he has gone, both as regard
ing bullion taxes and the collection
of licenses. With respect to the for
mer there are certain formalities
which have been overlooked by the
big companies; and there has been
a lack of attention paid to sheep
licenses in some of the counties.
With both of these oversights
remedied, the revenues of the state
will be moderately increased. In
speaking of his trip Mr. Adamson
said:
''Nye county seems to be on the
upgrade. There is a slight misunder-
standing or rather misconstruction
of the bullion tax law by several of

Successful Experiments In Con-
centratOr Extract Wealth From
Sands Now Running to Waste
SAVING VALUES FROM SHINES
CRAVEN TABLES WILL BE IN
TRODUCED IN THE MILL, IN
CREAsING PERCENTAGE OF
RECOVERY IN TREATING ORES

p. H. Craven, who has been ex-
perimenting at the concentration for
the past two months for the purpose
of designing a table for the treat
ment of the fine shines, leaves this
morning for San Francisco. 1t Is as
sumed that Mr.. Craven has met with
some degree of success in his ex-
periments, since he is leaving for San
Francisco to construct standard
machine which will incorporate the
many features he has developed.
The success of his table means a
big saving of values to the Nevada
Consolidated for the reason that it
is proposed to get values out of what
is known as the slime loss; or the
fine shines which at present run off
the vanners and go to waste. At
present the recovery in treating ores
is in the neighborhood of 73 per
cent, and an addition of only one per
cent to this would mean an inde-
pendence in the millions of tons of
ore which are treated in a year.
Mr.. Craven has been quietly en-
gagged in his work for two months;
so quietly that only the heads of the
plant knew upon what he was ex-
perimenting. He will return upon
the completion of his table which will
be given a thorough test in the mill.
and it is expected that a number of
the type will be installed in the near
future. The designer and patentee
of the table represents the Craven
Machinery company of Spokane; but
the work of setting up the design will
be done at the Union Iron Works in
San Francisco, which company is the
lessee of the patent for the United
States.

look for a considerable increase in
bullion returns from this section in
the immediate future. With regard
to licenses a number of the counties
are overlooking those for sheep; but
the officers are all being properly in
structed in this regard, and naturally
this means a little increase in
the states revenues.
I'm Esmeralda county a superficial
glance over the sheriff's and asses
sor's records show a most excellent
condition in both license and bullion
tax returns. However, an analysis
of deductions made by the large min
ing companies from gross yield on
account of bullion tax has been de-
manded in order that there may be
absolutely no question that the state
is getting its just returns.
mo bullion tax report has been
made by Clark county for some
months although some little bullion
has been produced; presumably at
loss. Demands has been made for
past reports in order that gross bull
lion statistics for the state may be
properly complied. Licenses are in
excellent condition. Practically the
same remarks apply to Lincoln
county.
"In White Pine county the licenses
are in excellent condition. The gen.
eral bullion tax situation is some
what unsatisfactory; but | am not
prepared to make any definite state
nents in this regard and will not be
until a most thorough investigation
has been made. This will doubt

NEv|N GETS THE
WRONG STEER
RAPS BOVINE ON HEAD WITH
SLEDGE AND THE COW TURNS
WILD WEST SHOW.

Yesterday was killing day at the
new packing plant, and there was
some great killing done, and some
great killing not done. Quite a
crowd gathered at the plant to see
successfully slaughtered. The thir-
teenth was led into the abattoir, and
there stood Frank Nevin, gaunt,
stern and unrelenting, the picture OF
the headsman of medieval days;
only he didn't have an axe. he had
a double-jack.
The steer praneed and reared and
kicked some. spread its name and
swished its tall and then swish the
double-ja cleaved the air and fell
with a mighty swat upon the bo-
vines head. Again it fell and the
steer fell into the slaughter room fulf
upon the concrete pavement while
the headsman rested on his sledge-
hammer. the apothesis of Ajax de-
flying the lightning. The crowds
pressed into the slaughter room,
when 10! the steer staggered to its
feet and charged. Kilowat Pete took
the fence and George Armand took
high C. Roy Ives rolled up the
steps to the abattoir and the steer
rolled down the stairs into the cellar.
Somebody yelled to shut him in,
and others yelled to shut him out.
Kilowat Pete, from his high perch,
yelled to Armand to sing to him. But
they went down the cellar and the
steer drove them back. The cellar
door was open and It led to the sage
brush beyond. Next moment the
steer was galloping down the road
and somebody hollered April fool"
at the headsman who grabbed his
sledge and the noise stopped. Cow
boys jumped on their cows-horses,
and with guns in their belts and
riattas setting loosely in their hands,
gave chase to the runaway animal.
Charley Bowen, Percy Hull and
Chas. Fleming followed in a buggy,
Bowen driving and his associates
each having long distance moving
picture cameras directed at the
chase. On next Tuesday night the
Bio theater will present a thrilling
story of the getaway, entitled:
Slipped from the Slaughter House:
or How He Nicked Nevin."
The cowboys caught the fiighty
and frightened bovine shortly before
dark, the animal having stopped to
chew his cud. He was brought back
to the slaughter house where Nevin
killed him again.

ADMITTED TO CITIZENSHIP.
Number of Applications Are Granted
Final Papers by Judge Coleman.

A number of citizens have been
made during the week, and the most
interesting case was that of Livio
Fantin. an Italian from Kimberly.
For some reason his final papers had
been kept back. and upon this appli-
cation, his chief witness, Postmaster
Hull. could only testify to having
known him in this state for about
four years and a half, for the reason
that Mr.. Hull had been in Nevada for
only that length of time. He testifi-
ed that he had known him elsewhere
before this time.
Judge Coleman put the usual ques-
tions to the candidate. and some un-
sual questions. Fantin was stumped
but once. and that was when the
court, in despair, asked him to define
habeas corpus. This would have been
poser to more than half the at
torneys in town, who know how to
prepare a writ of habeas corpus, but
who would be shy on real definition,
conjugation and a few sidelights.
Fantin knew all about the form of
government, and the difference be-
tween the national and state admins
trations, and his answers came back
like shots out of gun. He told how
senator's were elected. and how there
was two for each state; how con-
gresssmenwere elected by the vote OF
the people according to populations:
that Nevada had but one, and that
when her population reached 10000
she could have another. He liked
the American form of government
for the reason that the people voted
for the man they wanted; he was
there on the initiative, the referen-
dunn and recall. The question of wo-
mans SUFFRAGE was avoided. Mr..
Fantin passed with flying colors, and
he could hardly wit to get out of
court to give three cheers for the
stars and stripes.
Among those who were admitted
to citizenship were p. C. Cripps, CASH
ier of the McGill National Bank, his
witnesses being Arthur Smith head
OF the Ely Securities Co., and A. p.
Slichter. cashier of the Copper Ma
tional Bank. Charles f. Arnold of
the engineering force of the Giroux
mines was another applicant. but his
chief witness was in the western part
of the state and his case went over
without prejudice.

RUSH HAS CEASED.
Ice GlOckner Goes as Far as Reno
and Returns.

Lee Glockner, who started for the
rush to Sage mountain in Washoe
county near the California line, re-
turned to Ely on Sunday night. Mr..
Glockner did not go any further than
Reno, and there he found the bubble
busted. He met many of the old
timers who had been to the boom
camp, and returned to pronounce 1t
a fake of the most cherries variety.

Mr.. Glockner. 81 saw some of the
rock, and the best that could be said
for the assays was that they carry a
trace of gold. The rock was not at
all inviting. and the men who were
in on the first rush told me that

no better rock in the new camp than
that which had been sent to Reno.

mystery Of the sphinx. He says ii is a
sculptured portrait Of chephren. pharaoh
Of Egypt. Of the fourth dynasty. who
ruled in the year as5o B. c.
The anpouncement of the solution Of
the mystery was made Monday At the
opening Of the exhibition Of the collection
of the Harvard Egyptian expendition a,

The discovery was made during the re-
cent archaeological expedition sent into
Egypt BY Harvard and the Boston Mu-
scum Of Fine Arts. in charge Of Professor
Reisner. The proof which settles con
clusively the identity of the great mys-
terions monument was unearthed in re-
cent excavations made in Egypt.
The mystery Of the sphinx has been
cleared up at last. Professor Reisner
says. THE final proof that the sphinx
temple was the tomb Of Chephren has
been delivered. Exactly those character
istics found in the sphinx were found in
the statues Of Mycerinus. which We dug

The sphinx is nothing but the body Of
