While the sport of boxing grows

REACH AGREEMENT
ON NINE TAXES

The meeting between the Nevada
Tax Commission and representa-.
tives Of the Mine Operators Assoc
iation. held in Carson City Hednes-
day. resulted in the following
agreement being reached in rela-
ton to the taxation of bullion and
mining property for the year
1918:
That the mining companies shall
at once abolish all the milling or
CARNATIONS. rs far rs returns of
their accounts to the commission
are concerned and shall report in
detail their actual expenditures
and production covering the entire
year.
That no charge for the conduct
OF ofic 8 other than the mine
office shall be allowed.
That interest on bonds and other
indebtedness shall not appear a.
deductions from the gross yield.
That the cost of mine plants
shall be reduced by depreciation
charges over the whole life Of the
mine. and not as lump charges at
the time of construction; and that
no investment in plant shall oe al
lowed to d%epreciate to less than 20
per cent of its original lost during
its operation when depreciation
charges shall cease.
That the improvements shall be
assessed at the same percentage of
full cash value as that at which
other property in the county i
assessed; and finally.
To ~equalize the bullion assess
ment throughout the state with
other assessments so that 60 per
cent Of the actual net be paid this
year.
1t was III her stipulated that
the tax o mission will lend its
effort to settlement of the unpaid
or evaded taxes of the various
companies during the past two
years. The Goldfeld Consolidated
and the Tonopah Belmont volun-
teered to settle amicably with the
counties on this basis, if acceptable
to the latter.
1t is believed the southern coun-
ties will get considerably in excess
of $500. 900 from the adjustment
and the state will get its pro rata
while all other mining counties will
be benefited.

NJ Fulton, Assistant Freight

Eastbound this morning. They
reported to Agent Wilson that all
work on improvements on the
freight depot was being held in
allegiance pending negotiations look
ing to the removal OF the freight
sheds below the Verdi Lumber
yard. By moving the freight
sheds and warehouse from the
center Of the city a decided i'm
provement could be made. The
whole territory now covered by
freight depot warchnu.ts and the
mill could be boulevarded and a
splendid little park could be laid
out. 1t would be- a thing of beauty
and a joy forever. Now is the
time for the citizens of Elko to get
busy and help in the general scheme
to beauty beautiful Elko.

ment and all citizens regardless of

was fairly well attended.
] David Larson of Ogden ad-
dressed the meeting and urged the
people Of Nevada to cooperate
with outside interests in putting
through a direct highway across
the state. He declared the Lin
coin Highway Association was 60
ing to build a first class road from
coast to coast and had So, 900, 900
cash ready. The route will be
laid out Immediately and work
will be begun either this fall or
next spring. They propose to
construct a good macadam road at
q coat Of $4,000 a mile. 1t is
about $50 miles across Nevada
therefore the amount to be expend-
ed in this state alone is $3.50, 900.
In Elko county something like $685.
600 will be expended. The road
has been already located as far as
Ogden.
Mr. Larson wanted the people of
this county and state to do every
thing they possibly could to PRO.

low Baugh and Coleman to Act

When Charles 3. Jones, president
of the Montgomery club, declined to
permit r. II. Baugh of Birmingham
and F. P. Coleman of Memphis to set
tie his dispute with Charlie Frank of
New Orleans in regard to the Bagley-
Kutina- -Snedecor deal, it was deemed
necessary by the directors to adjourn
without taking action.
Another meeting will be called for Metu-
phis probably for hext Sunday week.
There were five members of the dircc-
torate of the Southern league present.
President Kavanaugh, r. II. Baugh. F. p.
Coleman, Charles b. Jones and Charles
Frank. Inasmuch as the Montgomery
club had appealed from the decision of the
president. who had ruled that the deal
between Montgomery and New Orleans
must go through, President Kavanaugh
was incompetent TO sit on the case. Jones
and Frank were incompetent on account
of the fact that they were interested
Manager Frank expressed willingness
that Mr. Baugh and Mr. Coleman deter
mine the merits a the case, but to this
Jones was lot agreeable
The case in dispute is one of the most in
teresting in the recent history of the
league. Some time ago, after Montgom-
cry and New Orleans had discussed the
matter of a deal for players. Mr. Jones
wired Mr. Frank. asking if he would give
First Baseman Snndecor and $50 for
Pitcher Bagby and First Baseroan Kutina.
Frank replied in The affirmative. Jones
then determined not to trade. Manager
Frank appealed to the president of the
league and was sustained. President
Kavanaugh Instructed Montgomery 20
complete the deal.
Jones appealed from the decision of the
president. He stated yesterday that il the
directors decided against him, he would
appeal to the highest court of the base
ball, the national commission
There were rumors yesterday that the
case when ,ried wclld develop sensational
testimony. AS is known, Kutfna has
failed to report to Frank. Frank hinted
yesterday that Jones had instructed ;ha
player not 20 report until after the Br-
mingham meeting. despite the fact that
the president had ruled that the deal must
be consummated. Mr.. Jones denied that
he had so instructed Kutina and showed
a copy of his written instructions that The
player report TO Manager Frank. 1t is
expected that something in regard to sal
ary will be brought to light when the case
is finally acted upon.
