MANDAMUS PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST COUNTY AUDITOR.

Mandamus proceeding will un-
doubtedly be instituted by Warwick
Mitchell & Peate, chartered accoun-
tants, to enforce the payment of their
claim of s3,296 against the county
for auditing the books of the various
officials at the court house, and pre-
pairing a new system of bookkeeping.
The bill was approved by the COM
missioners in its original form, and
failed to met with the approval of
Auditor Mcknight. who declared that
the charge was exorbitant. The COM
missioners considered the matter for
the second time last month, and pass
ed the claim over the auditors veto.

Over
Potash Deposits
EXPERTS ON WAY
TO WASHINGTON SPEAK GLOW
INGLY OF RAILROAD VALLEY
AS LIKELY PLACE FOR POTASH

James II. Hance, in charge of the
government experimental work at
Fallon and E. E. Free, scientist in
the bureau of soils of the depart
ment of agriculture who spent sew
eral days in Ely two weeks ago,
while they were on their way to
Railroad valley to conduct a
thorough examination of the saline
ground recently located by Ely and
Tonopah people. departed for Wash
ington, d. c., last Sunday. They
carried with them to Tonopah more
than 200 samples to be tested for
potash values.
Although both gentlemen were
reticent to give out Information, as
their reports must be made to the
geological survey. they declared that
the showings already proved up in
Railroad valley demonstrated that 1t
was better locality for the govern
ment to prospect for potash than
Fallon
The analysis of the samples taken
will shortly be published in bulletins
to be issued by the department of
agriculture, and the report will be
watched with considerable interes,
by residents of this district. as Ely
is the outfitting center for Railroad
valley.
During the interval the Railroad
Valley Saline company is busy pre-
pairing to start the churn drill, which
was purchased from the Nevada Con-
solidated, on a thousand foot hole to
reach the bed of the lake where the
deposit is expected to be found.
The government experts expressed
the opinion that Railroad valley is
the most likely place in Nevada for
finding potash, and said that Presi-
dent Victor Barndt has done every
thing that was possible. based upon
the theories and data obtainable.
They said that the work in this sec
tion is justified by the natural con-
ditions that exist. and that while 1t
is still a matter of speculation, those
who are interested with Mr.. Barndt,
will have no complaint to offer even
If the drilling resulted in disappoint-
ment.
Mr. Free is connected with the
Laboratory at the Mackay school of
mines in Reno for the free examina-
tion of potash samples as far as the
will permit.

GeorgiaSpaulding, Well Known
in Ely, Has Disappeared, and
Whereabouts Are Unknown
LEFT $4,000 TOpAY MORTGAGE
1T Is BELIEVED THAT ENEMIES
ARE TRYING TO FORECLOSE
ON PROPERTY WORTH $4,000
BELONGING TO HER.

With the disappearance of Georgia
Spaulding, an aged colored woman.
who was employed as a domestic In
many of the prominent homes in Ely
and East Ely, the belief Is expressed
that she has met with foul play at
the hands of those seeking to prevent
her from redeeming property at
Havre, Montana, valued at $4,000
from a mortgage which she was
about to cancel.
Mark Walser, Reno attorney. has
in his possession for the use of the
woman $4,000 which was to be paid
on the mortgage tomorrow. and In
an effort to locate her he has COM
municated with peace officers in Ne
yada and Montana by wire without
learning any trace of her where
abouts.
1t is said that the woman owns
certain valuable city property in the
business section of Havre, and has
held it for years despite the opposi-
ton of the white inhabitants to her
presence. The realty has not been
improved, but the old buildings have
been occupied by relatives of Mrs.
Spaulding much to the dislike OF
neighbors. For years unsuccessful
efforts have been made to dislodge
her by purchase, and otherwise but
she has refused to sell. Recently she
gave a mortgage on the property and
this fact coupled with the animosity
for her is believed to point a way to
foreclose the property against her
will.
In an effort to remove the mort
gage, the woman made financial ar
rangements in Reno. which resulted
in having the requisite cash placed
at her disposal to be forwarded to
Harve on the completion of the plans
for releasing the mortgage. She
left Reno for Havre nine days ago.
and should have reached there last
Sunday, but no word has been re-
ceived from her.
Mrs. Spaulding has reputation for
honesty and frugality during her two
years residence in Ely. and her ser
vices as a domestic was much In de-
mand Her husband was employed
as a porter at the f. & W., barber
shop. The couple left here about
eight months ago for Mason valley,
where she lived at the time of her
disappearance. The woman Is said
to be well known to old mining men
in Nevada and Montana owing to the
fact that she has followed mining
strikes throughout the west for the
last thirty years.

has been obtained by the officers as
to the identity of the robbers.

There was considerable horseplay
in the assembly for a few minutes,
but this was abandoned and the
memb bers soon settled down to busi-
ness. Two bills were introduced.
One was the same as the senate's bill
authorizing the state to borrow
5000. 900 to be applied to the general
fund. The other resuscitated the
tax commission bill, pet measure of
Governor Oddie's. which was rejected
at the last session of the legislature.
Both bills were referred to the ways
and means committee.
An attempt was made this after
noon in the assembly to expedite
business by comforting with the SEN
ate. and If deemed advisable, to APP
prove of bills that have passed that
house. The effort was ill advised
and nothing was accomplished that
would tend to reduce the length OF
the special session. The assembly
adjourned until 1890 O'Clock Mon
day morning.
A subcommittee from the ways
and means committee in the assem-
bly, called upon Governor Oddie yes
terday afternoon and asked that ac-
tion be taken for a retrenchment in
all state Offices. They are desirous
of having the chief executive submit
a message to both houses, making a
recommendation of this nature.
In the event that the governor
sets forth the situation and the un-
derlying causes not only as to rev.
enue but as to expenditure, he will
rob the Democrats of an opportunity
of demanding a more explicit state
ment of conditions. No definite set
tlement has been reached as yet, and
this is the only thing that might lead
to the prolongation of the session.
When the assembly was called to
order all rumors of the Democrats
organizing that body promptly van
ished. when 1t was found that there
were twenty-three Republicans and
twenty-one Democrats. The same or
ganization that was in effect during
the last session assumed charge.
Speaker Frolich handling the gavel
as of yore.
1t was decided in both houses that
the roll of old attaches be called, and
that all who were not present be
dropped from the roll. This result
ed i'm the elimination of ten persons
from the payroll in the assembly. A
similar reduction was made in the
senate, which indicates that an ef-
fort at economy is being made.
The message of Governor Oddie to
the members of the legislature is
simply a review of the situation as ii
exists. 1t shows the amount of
money that has been disbursed dur
ing the year, and compares it with
the expenditures of other years. 1t
touches upon no question save that
of the states finances, and explains
reasons for the deficit.
Two modes of procedure are rec
commended by the governor to avoid
financial stringeneies. One provides
for an increase of Is cents in the
state tax rate, which Will revert to
the general fund. The other ar
ranges for 10 cent benefit from the
state fund, and the creation of the
state tax commission to readjust and

stantial increase in the state rev.
enues will be afforded by this meth
cd. The message in full follows:
Governors Message.
5,4te of Nevada, Executive De-
partment.
Carson City, February %. 1912.
To the Honorable, the Senate and
the Assembly:
Pursuant to Section of Article
of the Constitution, / have convened
your honorable bodies in extraordi
nary session, the purpose of which is
to enact suitable legislation to re-
lieye the following condition in the
fiscal affairs of the state, namely:
That the general fund in the state
treasury is exhausted and that, to en-
able the state to transact its busi-
ness on cash basis, provisions must
be made by the legislature to bor-
row a sum sufficient to NEE the
emergency until such time as the
balance expenditures.
The borrowing power of the state,
in time of peace, is limited, under
the constitution. to 100000. At
the beginning of the present fiscal
year our outstanding Indebtedness,
under this limitation. was sS3. 900,
with cash in the state treasury ap-
plicable 10 the reduction thereof to
net Indebtedness of $51.151.27.
On such date there was available for
investment in the state school fund.
$255. .220.52. so that the state In ef-
feet will be able to borrow from
itself
The fact that the state, in 1903,
1905 and 1907. to go back no far
ther in our history, exercised its
borrowing power to cover. in ad-
vance, deficits in state revenue over
authorized expenditures. leaves the
present emergency by no means
anomalous in our fiscal affairs, save
that 1t was not provided for in ad-
vance
The failure to make advance pro-
vision for this depletion of the gen.
eral fund is not properly chargeable
against the Legislature or myself,
owing to the extreme difficulty of ar
irving at any clear understanding of
the financial affairs of the state
from the time-honored system of
bookkeeping that has obtained in
our state government since its be-
ginning. Nor is any state official
justly blamable for not introducing
innovations in a system that has al
ways prevailed. Nevertheless l am
convinced that the financial condition
of the state should not be left a
mystery which must be worked out
on the principle of the solution of a
puzzle
The following table shows the net
cash balance in the state treasury at
the beginning of each of the last four
fiscal years:
January l. 1sO9...$749.645.77
