SILVER QUOTED AT
81 CENTS AN OUNCE

When the local silver settlement
price advanced to 81 cents yester-
day tire " hite metal reached q fig
ure higher than at any other point
in year. This advance in the
past TWO days of nearly two cents
an ounce means approximately
S260,000 for Utah mire owners.
The jump yesterday of halc cent
is equal to half that amount. Sud-
den demands in China and India
with a temporary shortage in other
large consuming centcrS is given as
the reason for the important ad-
vance Of the past few days.
With silver high, copper soaring
toward l8 cents a pound, spelter at
$50 and lead Mt S4.75, all at very
satisfactory levels to lucal operat-
ors and indications favorable for
even still further advances, the
mining situations in the west has
reached an exceedingly interesting
stage.
'All that is needed now is for
western men who have made their
all out nf mines to step forth, dig
duwn in their pockets and lend a
little cash encouragement 10 the
prospector and mine owner with
legitimate properties, and mining
would be On its feet in one leap"
said Salt Lake man who has made
and lost several fortunes in the
past few years. Presently there
would be coming in from the four
quarters of Utah, Nevada, Idaho
and other neighboring states news
ofnew strikes. and before we knew
it our g5oG old times would he
with us once again. "-Herald-R Re-

MAY COMPLETE SCHOOLHOUSE

The Metropolis school house row
apparently is approaching an end
and the contractors bondsmen are
likely to finish the building and
remedy the defects which the
architect says exists. The Metro
polls school house was to cost
about S25, 900 and some time ago
the contractor notified the archi-
tect that the building was finished.
The architect inspected the build
ing and notified the contractors
Farnsworth & Bowman that there
were many serious defects in the
building and he would not approve
it or accept it as completed until
such defects are remcdied. Then
the trouble started.
The contractors appear unwilling
or unable to remedy the defects
and finish the building. 1t is under
stood the bonding company will
make good and take ever the Work
the contractors have left undOne.
BY this arrangement the county
will not be loser.

Little Trip to
Nevada as Paradise,
Beautiful Larr1Oi||e

The Independent man joined an
auto party yesterday and paid
visit to Lalnoille. We were greatly
surprised at the natural beauty of
the scenery around Lamoille. The
fields Of grain, pretty homes and
splendid herds of cattle bore evil
dence of thrift and contentment
beyond compare. LamoiIle is nest
led in the foothills of the Ruby
Mountains which we're a perfect
picture Yesterday. Ruby colors
glistening in the snn, while rays of
sunshine and shadow played hide
and seek among the peaks, crags
and canyons of the magnificent
range of mountains towering with
such majestic grandeur were an in
spring sight and one never to he
forgotten.
If there is a spot in the United
States, where all the colors of the
rainbow can be seen by watching
the shadows fit from place to place
as the sun moves in its course, that
place is beautiful Lamoille. The
varigated colors OF the soil and
rocks, not visible elsewhere in Neva-
f3ia, to such a remarkable degree, to-
gether with the autumn changes in
the foliage and vegetation conspir-
ed to make a picture that would
make the heart of an artist bound
with delight. There is something
about the scenery at Lamoille that
is indescl ibable: so full of con-
stant changes, so different from the
rest of the country and so beauti-
full to behold, that one can only
stand and look in rapture and de-
light. It's worth going a thousand
miles to see these autumn days.
The Hotel at Lamoille is a splen-
did example of it's kind: modern

TROUBLE FOR TAX
COMMISSIONERS

The Elko County Commissioners
county auditor. district attorney
and several other lawyers met in an
informal way this morning to dis
cuss the rulings, edicts and COM
mands of the State Tax Commiss-
ion. No decision was reached on
any point except that it appears
to be the general opinion that the
Elko County Tax rolls shall not
leave the county The old law which
in no way has been repealed or in
terfered with by the new law pro-
vldes who of the County off GERS
shall be custodians Of the tax rolls
and the date such officers shall re-
ceive them and hold them and
then turn them over to the next
official. By the time the rolls
reach the County Treasurer the
time limits set by law will be COM
piled with and there will be no
chance for the Tax Commission to
to grab the rolls in the meantime.
The county commissioners are in
receipt of letter from the State
Commission ordering the county
commissioners to hurry up their
equalization work and send the
rolls to Carson. There is no uu-
thoritysin the new law to back I'D
such a demand and the old law
still in force so arranges the dis
position Of the custody of these
rolls that the Tax Commissioner
demand for immediate surrender
of the tax rolls cannot be complied
with. AS result the Tax Com
missior will not get the tax rolls.
Some of the lawyers present this
morning intimated that if the rolls
did go to Carson that some tax
payer might start a suit against
paying his taxes on the ground
that the rolls were not in the
county and thereby the whole
county tax assessment would be
tied up, as what affected one would
affect everybody. There was also
an intimation that the law creating
the Tax Commission and vesting it
with power had been passed ire
gularly and if a fight was necess-
ary the history of this alleged ire
gular and illegal legitlation would
be exposed and on its merits it
would be shown the law was inop-
eratlVe as \ consequence of the
course by which it was passed. An
other phase which may bo a serious
stumbling block to the Tax Com.
mission is that the matter may be
thrown into the United States
courts and the possibility of q vio-
lation Of the United States constr
tuition shown.
The more the Tax Commission
law is gone into the more helpless
the state body appears.

ing the advisability of the proposition.

Mr.. Knott's plan is that nonresident
memberships would equal the resident
memberships in number, 1000: that they
would not have trading rights on the
floor of the exchange. as this would in
crease the membership too much for
comfort, but that these memberships
would carry with them the right to one
half of the regular commission charged
on stock and bonds, and that all the
requirements CT the Stock Exchange as
10 fitness, discipline, etc, would apply.
Mr.. Knott believes that the arrange
ment would be a great advantage to]
local brokers, who would largely buy
these memberships. He contends that
ii would increase the business of the

all illegitimate brokerage business.

MAKES PRETTY WEDDING GIFT
Novel Centerpiece, Braided In Rick.
rack Braid Will Be Found
Very Acceptable.

A novel centerpece Is one which
Is braided in rickrack braid instead
of the much-uecd coronation and SOU
tache braids. Get a centerpiece which
is not too close in pattern, as the
lines must be far enough apart to con-
veniently lay the rickrack braid upon
them without overlapping. When sew
ing the braid on to the centerpiece,
use the running stitch through the
middle of the braid, taking care that
only very short stitches show on the
right side. Embroder French knots
on each point Of the braid, using
medium weight embroidery cotton.
This is very effective with the French
knots in Delft blue or pretty green.
If the pattern has extra lines like
veins to a leaf, or dots, embroider
these in the same color that you use
for the French knots. The edge may
be buttonholed in white an outline of
the color on the inside edge, or 1t
may be in one solid color No. II In
the braid is a pretty size. This makes
a handsome centerpiece. and one that
Is entirely new.
