REPORT IS MADE
BY CORNERS JURY

The n jury. which con-
Quoted a thorough investigation into
the circumstances surrounding the
death of John McNulty. who lost his
life in the disastrous fire at the
Gircux shaft last August, returned a
verdict Wednesday afternoon, in
which the Giroux Consolidated was
severely criticized for its failure to
comply with the state mining laws.
The inquisitors asserted that Me-
Nuity's death was either caused by
suffocation or being crushed between
the shaft and the cage as It being
raised to TIE surface.
The jury WIS composed of the fol-
lowing: Joseph Bracken, foreman;
F. NJ. Clark, Louis Fraser, John
Wiener, H. X. Smith, William Scott
and Peter ST. Peter. The indiN idual
members of the jury went down the
Giroux shaft last Monday to investi-
gate conditions in that working.

aggregate value of the taxable prop
erty of the state through such re-
adjustment and equalization.
need not more than call attention
to the fact that taxation is distinctly
a business proposition, and that the
alignment of the public for or against
any existing or proposed system OF
taxation is not on political lines but
very pronouncedly accordingly as 1t
affects the pocketbook of each citi-
zen. The last session of the assemb-
ly showed no division on party lines
in the consideration of a proposed
taxation measure, and had 1t not
been for the lateness of the session
when the bill was finally perfected
by the house and transmitted to the
senate, so that its consideration for
such reason was prevented, it is fair
to assume that the honorable senate
would unquestionably have so treat
ed it.
| shall make no effort to persuade
any member of the legislature as to
what course he should take in this
matter. With this presentation |
submit the subject to your honorable
bodies in the firm belief that you
will be guided by what you believe to
be for the best interests of the state.
In conclusion, | have only to wish
for and anticipate the same patriotic
cooperation by both houses of the
legislature and all political parties
therein, with the executive, in solv-
Ing the problems presented, that so
signally characterized the last ex-
traordinary session of your honor
able bodies.

DISPUTED OWNERSHIP
OF WATER RIGHTS

With the ownership of the waters
of the waters of Willow creek as the
prize for which the litigants are
striving. H. Byrd N%orthrup of Denver
commenced suit in the distiiet court
last Tuesday against II. A. Comins
and w. NJ. Kearney as state engineer.
The plaintiff, who is one of the
largest stockholders in the Nevada
United Mines company, alleges that
he made application to the state en-
gineer for the use of the waters of
Willow creek in August 1909, and
that after the notice had peer pub
lished as required by law, the defen-
dant Comins filed a protest claim
ing the title to the stream in question
through prior use. 1t is asserted in
the complaint that no date has ever
been designated by the state engineer
for the hearing of the protest.
After having received notice from
State Engineer kearney that his ap-
plication had been denied because
the water had already been appro-
priated. Northrup asserts that the
water was running in its natural
channel for a number of years and
had never been diverted by anyone
at the time he applied to the state
engineers Office for a permit.
Northrup asks for an order from
the district court compelling the
state engineer TO rescind his action
with respect to the water application.
The plaintiff also seeks to have Com
ins restrained from further using the
water.

GRANTS MOTION FOR
PARTIAL NEW TRIAL

Because there was d. evidence to
Justify the verdict of the jury, the
motion of the defendants for a par
tial new trial in the case of John A.
estate of James Ostergard. against
II. w. Kelley and II. A. Leach was
sustained by Judge Coleman Friday
afternoon.
The jury submitted two distinct
verdicts, one independent of the 9TH
er. The piaintifi was awarded dam
ages amounting TO $577.50 on the
question of trespassing, while title to
the mining ground in controversy
was vested in the defendants through
their location of the Copper King
claim, the arbitors holding that
neither the Gypsynor nor Scorpion
claims, owned by the plaintiff We're
valid placer locations.
The court maintained hat there
can be no exemplary damages because
the complaint does not allege facts
to sustain the conclusions of the
jury. Judge Coleman also comments
on the fact that the instruction sub
mitted by the court failed to cover
that particular phase of the case.
In his decision the court says that
the actual damage was represented by
the cost of cleaning out the shaft
which had been filled up by Kelley.
one of the defendants. According to
the testimony. n of the witnesses,
that task could be completed in two
days without difficulty and at a cost
not to exceed $500. while the jury
assigned the damages at a figure in
excess of $500.

mer years to approximately $4,000.
The net cash balance in the gem
eral fund 1t the beginning of each of
the past four fiscal years was as fol-
lows:
January l.. 1909. -. $451, 0S2.20
January l., 1910...... PAL ,39S.1S
January /. 1911...... 175,020.50
January /. 1912 ICON
There was an apparent overdraft
of the general fund at the beginning
of the present fiscal year of $20,-
305.42 which arose from the fact
that on January /, 1912, a total of
$107, 4SS.2O was still due from de-
layed county settlements, $64,S19.5S
of which belonged to the general
fund, thus leaving for comparison
purposes the constructive net bal
ance stated.
1t is clear from the foregoing that
the reduction, in 1903, of that por-
ton of the state tax rate which goes
into the general fund, from AZ cents
to 39.6 cents, on each hundred dol
lars valuation of taxable property,
together with the DETECTION of all
poll-tax receipts to the counties, is
responsible for the existing deficit.
Moreover, that had there not been a
surplus in the general fund at the
beginning of 1903, the deficit would
possibly have occurred two years
sooner. A comparison by years of
the warrants drawn against the zen
eral fund with the receipts of the
general fund for such years shows
the following net excess of disburse-
ments over receipts:
1909 legislative year ..S209, SSS.12
1910 nonlegislatiye year 66.377.6S
1911 legislative year. 195,325.92
BY reference to the table previous
~ given of the receipts of the gen
eral fund. it is shown that for the
three above years they were praeti-
eally constant. yet this constaney
was maintained in 1911 by the trans
fer mentioned from the prison build
ing fund. which practically over
came a decrease of about $4,000
from the ordinary receipts of the gen
eral fund.
1t is conclusive from the foregoing
table that, on the basis OF the present
receipts of the general fund and after
making due allowances for the bien-
NAL sessions of the Legislature and
the variation In expenditures the
year of such sessions with the alter
nate years, the general fund must be
increased by al least $150,000 per
year to balance income with normal
disbursements.
Merely to borrow a sum sufficient
to tide over the present emergency
would but advance the day of a most
serious reckoning-when the general
fund would be depleted and the state
would have exhausted it's constitu-
tional borrowing power. 1t is there
fore imperative that the Legislature
readjust the state tax rate adequate
ly to increase the receipts of the gen.
eral fund.
The situation involves choice be-
tween two modes of procedure: One
to let the existing system OF taxation
continue and increase the state tax
rate by 10 cents, applying the In
crease to he general fund. The
other, to increase the state tax rate
by 10 cents for the benefit of the gem
eral fund and. coupled with which,
the legislature to provide for the
creation of a state tax commission to
readjust and equalize property valu-
lions throughout the state; depend
ing on such commission to bring
about a substantial increase in the

The total expenditures, as above
given. include bond purchases. which
are not properly an expense but an
investment; and bond redemptions.
which have a status quite distinct
from the expenses of the state gov
eminent during any given year, in
the ordinary sense. since it amounts
to the liquidation of an Indebtedness
contracted in previous years. The
expense of the state government, the
odd-numbered years. is markedly in
creased over that of the alternate
session and the fact that an excess
portion of the expenditures arising
from special appropriations has al
ways occurred the legislative year as
compared with the following year.
Excluding bond purchases and re-
demptions and the costs of sessions
of the legislature, we have the fol
lowing comparison of state expen-
ditures during each of the past three
years.
1909 ~$995.799.09
1910 sSS,l32.2o
1911 934,740.64
From the foregoing 1t is clear that
the present deficit in the general
fund is not attributable to any abnor-
NAL increase in state expenditures.
On the contrary they indicate that
Mt the conclusion of the present fiscal
year the Expenditures OF the two
years will possibly show some re-
duction over the previous biennial
period.
The receipts of the general fund
during each of the past three years
are as follows:

The figures for 1911 are mislead-
ing in this respect. that during such
year the sun of $~73,945.S0 was
transferred from the prison building
fund to the general fund, which
swelled the actual receipts of that
fund to that extent. On the other
hand, the receipts from counties into
the general fund the same year was
less by $5S,3O7 than in 1910. APP
proximately 10000 of this decrease
is due TO the detection of all poll
tax receipts to the counties, instead
of one-half coming to the state os
formerly. Other items of decrease
bring the falling off of receipts by
the general fund in 1911 over for
mer years to approximately $4,000.
The net cash balance in the gem
eral fund at the beginning of each of
the past four fiscal years was as fol-
