STATE BULLION TAX COL
LECTOR VISITS WINNEMUCCA

L.. r. Adamson, state bullion tax
and license collector, was in town yes
terday, checking up the Offices of the
sheriff and assessor. Asked of the con-
ditions existing in the state at large,
Mr.. Adamson replied:
81 believe that at the present time
Nevada is the banner state of the
Union, so far as mining goes, and that
Humboldt is the banner county of the
state. Wherever | have been I find
that mining men are talking of this
county. and you will without doubt
be visited by great many men of
means during the present season.
81 found that the bullion tax and
license collections throughout the state
had been collected and properly ac-
counted for, with the exception of
Lincoln county. There the sheriff was
short in his accounts and / swore to
complaint, with the result that he
has been indicted by the grand jury

INJUNCTION CASE
COMES UP MONDAY

The question of making permanent
the temporary injunction obtained by
the Lovelock water-users against the
Pacific Reclamation company will be
heard by Judge Ducker in the District
Court Monday. Cheney, Downer,
Price & Hawkins, of Reno, will repre-
sent plaintiffs, wrile Platt & Gibbons
and George s. Brown will appear for
defendants.
Large Interests Involved.
Great agricultural interests are in
volved in this suit, in fact it may be
said that the very life of the Lovelock
valley depends in great measure up
on the outcome. According to the
complaint, which vas filed on April
13, this year, the plaintiffs, who in
clude practically every water distrib
uting corporation and private water
user in the Lovelock valley, acquired
rights to use the waters of the Hum
boldt river for domestic and irrigating
purposes fully ten years before that
secured by the defendant corporation;
that, notwithstanding this fact, de-
fendant has constructed in the Hum
boldt river, at a point where Bishop
creek empties into said river, and near
where Burnt and Trout creeks come
in, storage reservoir of 1880 acre
feet, with contemplated capacity of
10000 acre-feet; that said creeks con
stitute the headwaters of the Hum
boldt river; and that since February
IL, 1912, said defendant has appro-
priated all the water coming from said
creeks, leaving the Humboldt river
practically dry, to the great damage of
plaintiffs.
An order temporarily restraining de-
PENDANTS from using the waters men
toned was asked for and granted bv
Judge Ducker, and April 90 set as the
date for the hearing on making the
injunction permanent. On that day a
continuance to May 10 was granted,
and when the case was called a furth-
er continuance was given until May
20.

Panama Canal Bill Taken Up by House
Near Mexican Influence.

Washington has had its official eye
on San Diego and the west Mexican
coast for several weeks past. San
Diego is the city nearest the border of
Mexico on the western coast. On the
Pacific coast OF Lower California,
barren peninsula the japanese are re-
ported to have secured fishing and 9th,
er concessions covering a strip of
land 700 miles long. From San Diego,
a U. S. army transport has gone to
Mexico to take on board refugees who
wish to leave the war troubled repub-
lie.
The administration in Washington
does not anticipate war with Mexico
but the situation is a difficult one and
great care may be needed to prevent
an outbreak, especially along the bor
der. 1t is not believed that the Mexi-
can situation can have the least effect
on the work of building the great
Panama exposition at San Diego. In
deed, that work is being prosecuted,
