VERY FUNNY
ASSESSMENTS

We have received a copy OF the
report OF the Nevada Citizens
Economy and Taxation Committee,
and find it a very interesting book
Of l20 pages.
1t goes thoroughly into the pres
ent conditions OF the state and STU
gesys remedies that deserve the
serious consideration of our law
makers. An example OF the Unequal
tiles III the assessment OF property
the following statement is taken from
one Of the 1912 assessment rolls CT
the state:
Personal property-lOO horse. !
stallion. | jack. 1000 stock cattle, Is
hogs. 10000 sheep, wagons and ma
chinery Total assessed for $4,000.
The committee call attention to the
fact that ii the sheep had been as
sessed at the price fixed by the state
board Of assessors. 81. 50 per head, the
other live stock, including 10000
stock cattle was. not assessed at all.
Another stockman assessed for 500
sheep is reported as having sold
sheep to the value of $4,000 during
the season. The assessment of real
estate shows many inequalities. Some
are assessed as low as ten per cent
Of their value and others as high as
As per cent, while the small homes
in the towns are assessed from 80 TO
Is per cen OF their value.
There should be some way to cor
rect these gross inequalities and the
legislature should strive earnestly to
find il. II is useless to depend upon
the present method of equalization.
We have been a taxpayer Tor over
twenty years and have watched coun-
ty boards of equalization in their
performance Of this important duty.
They look through the assessment
roll from beginning to end and rarely
if ever, changed an assessment. They
added a few mortgages and consid-
cred their work done.
That has been the rule in Elko
county for the past twenty-five
years. Such an equalization OF
assessments is a fraud, but such IS
the practice in this and other II
ties of this state.-Independent.

AN INDIAN
DIPLOMAT

w. T. Roberts, a leading member
of the Piute tribe, with headquarters
at Pyramid reservation, was a caller
at the Eagle office this week. He is
preparing to leave for Washington
to consult with the Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs on matters relating
TO the interests of his tribe.
Among the grievances which Billy
proposes to lay before the official at
Washington is the allotment of forty
acres OF land to the head of each
family. This, he says, was prom
ised to his father when he was a
little boy: his father has gone to
the happy hunting ground and he
himself is we'll on the road and still
the land allotments have never been
made.
He claims they were promised So
900 for the right of way for the Fern
~ney-Iassen road. but it has not been
paid. They want the government 20
put in a concrete dam in place Of
the old brush and dirt dam on the
Truckee river near the reservation
and to widen the ditch so the farmers
on the west side of Pyramid lake can
get more water.
The government builds the Derby
dam and Lahontan dam and takes
all our land and gives it to the white
people, but don't give a dam for us,
said Billy,
The Indians raised the money to
send Billy to Washington to plead
their cause.
When asked if he expected to take
Part in the inaugural parade. Billy
said he did not: that he was in a
hurry and would COLE, back as soon
as he got through with the business
he had on hand-Churchill Eagle.

NEW FIND
IN RAWH|OE
TOLD Of
Camp is in Line for
Real Production

The camp of Rawhi1e, which has
been in the dumps for several years,
is again attracting attention, not
from a boom standpoint, but from a
productive and tested issue. Mr..
Wiley, who has been operating i'll
the camp for the past three years,
has been spending several days in
this city. He states that several big
ore bodies have been opened up that
will make mines. The work has
been performed in every case by
leasers and their results are such
now that Rawhide is a sure Going
camp. A new mill is being erected
on the Black Eagle ground and will
be running in the spring. It means
the production of 4 lot of bullion,
as there is an immense body OF mill
ore in sight.
Other properties are in the same
condition. Ore that was discarded
in the early rush, when only high
grade is worth while. is now being
sought by the conservative mining
men. The result is that by tests and
sampling it has been found that the
camp has vast bodies of good grade
milling ore that will return profits.
The boom has been knocked out Of
the camp, and what is 10y doing
is on a solid foundation.
He. with others. who are sticking
to the camp, can now see a safe
future. Rawhide can now be fig
ured as one OF the permanent camps
of Western Nevada.

UNSETTLED
CONDITION
PREVAILS
City of Mexico Expects
More Trouble

MEXICO CITY. Feb. l0.-Presi-
dent Francisco I. Madero is back in
the national palace, and Sonora Ma
dero is in Chapultepec castle. The
presidents brief disappearance from
the palace caused a rumor that he
had taken to flight. but ii appears
he was absent only a short time and
since then has been spending his time
in comforting with General Huerta,
Ernesto Madero and others.
Madero is confident the govern
n.ent will triumph and his conversa-
tor is characterized by optimistic
illusions delivered with a happy
smile. He considers that the public
is with the administration and looks
forward to developments tomorrow
as the final act in what he regards
as another foolhardy effort of Gen
eral Porfilio Diaz's nephew to place
the family name at the head Of Mex
ico's official list.
1t is admitted at the national pal
ace that General Banquet has been
prevented from reaching the city by
the cutting Of the railroad between
the capital and Toluea. but some Ct
his men have arrived and it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that sufficient troops
will soon be modified to warrant an
attack on the arsenal.
This may be initiated early tomor-
row morning. but it is not believed
even if the choice OF attacking is left
to the government that it will be
before tomorrow afternoon.
An effort has been made by the
diplomatic representatives to secur
foreign patrols for the district in
which most of the foreigners live
since neither the government nor the
rebels can provide police protection,
but the effort has failed. The Ameri-
can defense committee has instructed
the American guard at the EN-
bassy to keep in close. touch and in
case of danger Americans armed with
rifles are to turn out.
The national palace is guarded to-
night by 500 men of all arms, with
eight or more heavy guns. Madero
claims to have 800 men upon whom
he can depend.

GROUND

There were rumors yesterday of
another bad cave at the Chollar Com
pany ground, but it proved to be
somewhat exaggerated. An investi-
CATION showed that on B street, near
the Hass residence, where there has
been more or less Of a depression.
there is now a hole some three or
four feet deep, but limited in circum-
ference, caused no doubt by a cave
in a drift run years ago. 1t IS be-
tween Is and 100 feet northerly OF
any present workings of the Chelar
Leasing company. The cave. ground
has been roped off. and as soon as
II is through settling. the depressed
section will be filled in.-Virginia

value recovered; operating expenses

HOTEL MANAGER
 IS DRIVEN AWAY c. H. Dickey Arrives in Pine Bluff, After Exciting
 Experience
SAYS IT'S UNI Us T
Declares That He Was Forced to Sup ply Negro Passengers With
 Box Lunches.

C. H. Dickey. son of C. r. Uickcy, of No 7l4 West Fifth avenue, until Wed- hesday manager of the Interstate llo- tel at Wynne, Ark has arrived in Pine Bluff as the result of some feeling that exists at Wynnc because his ho tel fed sixty negro Iron Mountain passengers Tuesday night, while on their way to Nashville, Tenn, to at tend a big negro Baptist convention. He was advised to leave Wynne by a large crowd and ffearing violence at i their hands immediately departed. Mir. DlCkey is manager of the hotel and under contract was forced to feed the passengers at that place. The hotel is conducted by the Interstate News Company and employs white wait resses.
 Mir. Dickey declares that he wal done an injustice in dispatches sent out from Wynne He says that he was credited with feeding 1000 negroes ill the dining room. He permitted the small number to enter the lunch room and secure box lunches, as well as coffee ill tin cups. None of them, he says, were admitted to the dining room. He regrets that some ill-advis- ed persons misunderstood the situa- tion at Wynne and took action against him, without giving him an opportun- ity to explain. He was acting on in strdctions of the superintendent of the Iron Mountain railroad, who request ed him to feed the negroes en route.
 The company that controls the Wynne hotel were at the time of the incident en route to Wynne to make improvements aggregating a cost oi $10,000. They were at Little Rock when advised of the trouble and went to Wynne yesterday to perfect their plans
