BESSOLO'S LUCK HAS CHANGED

w. l.. Bessolo, the monkey wrench
man, who was burned out the past
summer by fire in Riepetown. and
had some other hard - k owing TO
generally adverse circumstances,
writes from Hazcn, Nevada that CON-
ditions with him have improved since
leaving this district, and things seem
to be again going his way. At pres
ent he is devoting most of his time
to his Electric Wave Venus camera,
a completed working model of which
was burned in the Riepetown fire. He
has built another camera, and says
that it's success is assured and that a
trial of the model showed even bet
ter results than the first one made.
The exposure lasted eighteen min
utes, and in developing the picture.
taken at a distance of twelve miles,
every detail was distinct. The pat
ent on the camera has been applied
for, and Mr. Bessolo expects there
will be at least eight patents on this.
as there are 240 different parts to
the camera.
He expects to be in Ely again, be-
fore great while, on his way to the
coast.

TAX|NCREASEFOR
WHITE PINE co.
STATE COMMISSION WILL HOLD
HEARING TOMORROW ON PRO
POSED 10 PER CENT RISE IN
ASSESSMENT.

The Nevada state tax commission
has notified Chairman d. c. Nc
Donald. of the board of county COM
missioners and local board of equali-
zation, that the state commits
sion will come to Ely personally. and
take hand with the local officials in
Strengthening out the question of
tax valuations that has been occupy
ing the attention of the equalizers
for the past ten days. The date set
for the visit of the state commission
ers, in Ely. is tomorrow, September
29, and the place is the court house.
at 10 o'clock in the morning.
The meeting is likely to become
interesting, as the commissioners
preface the notice of their intended
visit and hearing with the announce
ment that the commission proposes
that 'for the purpose of state equali-
zation, to raise the assessment
valuation of all property within the
county of White Pine outside the
limits of cities and towns and will,
when reviewing the tax rolls at its
regular meeting at Carson City, be-
ginning Monday. October 13, apply
a uniform increase to the valuation of
all such property as returned by the
county board of equalization equiva-
lent to ten per cent of such valua-
tion on the 1913 tax roll
Tomorrow's meeting constitutes a
hearing at which time property own
ers may appear to show cause why
the proposed raise in valuation
should not be made.
The chances are that a number of
White Pine county tax payers will be
present at the meeting to show
cause why etc. as there is a feel
ing among some that the tax assess
ment in White Pine county is high
enough as it is, in comparison with
the other counties. On the other
hand there are those who favor the
increase as a move in the right di-
rection. The question OF taxes at
best is a delicate one, inasmuch as
from whichever angle 1t is approach
ed there always seems an opportunity
for an argument, and difference of
opinion does not necessarily imply
lack of or an error of Judgment.
Since the publication of the notice
of the visit of the state commission
ers to Ely, the opinion has been ex-
in the county may have heard of the
proposed action and hearing. in time
to travel to Ely. This however, has
no real bearing on the question, as
the course of the commissioners Is as
laid down in the statute.
During the past week, the county
commissioners, as the board OF
equalization have held sessions,
and taken action on points at issue
in the matter of tax valuation. On
Wednesday. Col. Cannon. general
manager OF the Nevada Northern,
appeared before the board. and pro-
tested at the increased valuation of
ore cars, from $101. 900 to 100000.
General Manager Cannon addressed
the board, with such good effect that
it was decided to let the former

RHYOuTE'S DESOLAT|ON
RECALLS PAST DAYS

Recently George F. Detmore, a
well known mining man of the west,
paid a visit to Rhyolite in south
western Nevada. Here is his graphic
deeriptlon of the rise and fall of the
once flourishing camp.
I'm Rhyolite at one time there were
at least $500 happy, prosperous,
hopeful people. This was not more
than five years ago. Fine brick
blocks skirted the main business
streets and the town boasted of two
good hotels and many palatial resi-
denees. The sales of the big stores
ran into the four-fgure column every
day and five very large gambling
houses were crowded both night
and day. There were saloons
and dance halls innumerable, and the
same 'boasted' of a gilded palace of
sin that outshone anything in the
state.
There wasn't a man who visited
Rhyolite in those days but who pre-
dicted wonderful future for the
camp. / presume more men We're
working for $40 day than any 9TH
er figure. Money was a great deal
more plentiful than water. which was
selling at Is cents per bucket. 1t
cost a man s14 per week for 6xs
room, and you couldn't buy anything
that looked like meal for less than
81. There We're two weekly news
papers in the town carrying from 16
TO 20 pages, four in each issue load
ed with advertising that paid 81 per
inch per issue The subscription
price was $40 per year. Local repor-
ters were paid $40 per day for their
work. which was of course confined
mostly to writing up of mines. SINH
lar conditions existed in Beatty
about four miles distant.
To-day Rhyolite is practically de-
serted village. There are hundreds
OF houses idle, with smashed win
dows, battered down doors and
Scared walls. An elegant brick bank
building, equipped with costly furni-
ture, stands in the heart of the for
mer business section, open to the
public, with big steel vault doors ajar
and the floor strewn with books,
checks and worthless stock certifi-
Gates. Expensive fixtures remain in
business houses and in some of the
houses good looking furniture re-
mains which was left when the people
found the boom had exploded.
And this reminds me: When
struck Rhyolite the other day | was
asked by an old miner who had not
| forsaken the town, where | was go
ing to sleep that night. Not having
made arrangements for the night, he
pointed out a Incorporating two
