old GRAY EAGlt NINE
SOLD TO EASTERN MEN

The Gray Eagle group of claims, a
mining property of well-known merit,
situated 23 miles east of Battle Noun
tain and three miles from the camp
of Hilltop, has recently been taken
over by the Manufacturers syndicate
of Worcester, Mass. w. Prince Cat
lin, manager and assistant treasurer,
has large force of men at work on
the property. The developments so far
are highly satisfactory and is is ex-
peeted that the Gray Eagle will soon
enter the ranks of Nevada s regular
shippers.
There are four leases in operation
on this property. Each one has ship
ping ore and two are sending ore 20
the smelters every week.
The property was owned by the Hor-
ton interests and was managed by
George w. Triplett.

COMMITTEE WILL REDUCE
SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION

Comprehensive plans to reduce
southern representation in Republican
national conventions will be submitted
to the Republican congressional com
mittee by an advisory board of five
members of the house, which is based
on the idea that the delegates to ma
tional conventions shall represent
votes actually east in elections.
Efforts will be made to keep a
quorum of the congressional committee
in Washington long enough to act on
one of these plans and send it to the
Republican national committee so that
an extraordinary convention may be
called next winter to determine its
merits. The plan which has many
friends in the advisory committee pro-
vides for one delegate from each con-
gressional district where the Republi-
can vote is 40 per cent or less of the
total and two delegates where it is
from 40 to 60 per cent. There would
be four delegates at large from each
state.
The south had 22S men seated in
the last convention. Under the plan
outlined it would have 149. The total
number of delegates at the last con
vention was 1,062 and under the new
plan would be 1,044, so that the pro-
portion of northern TO southern dele
gates would be largely increased.
Another plan gives one delegate for
each 10000 votes, with four at large
from each state. Under it the south
ern representation would be rs.

TEACHERS NSTI-
1UTF FOR LOY[LOCK

Since this is an odd-numbered year,
teachers institutes for the state will
be held in each district. Superintend-
ent Abel is trying to arrange to hold
the institute for the Third district at
Lovelock on October 2S to 81, in
elusive. He has engaged J. Adams
Ruffer as one of the lecturers of the
institute. Mr.. Ruffer's work has been
mostly along the lines of vocational
education, in the intermediate grades.
He is the author of "The Boy and His
Gang and has made a special study
of the problems presented by the
adolescent boy.
More definite announcements of the
institute will be given in succeeding
issues of the Silver State.

DIR. GUESSING WILL LOCATE
AT OLD CONNECTICUT HOME

DIR. H. Guessing, for four years
physician and health officer at Para
disc Valley, left this afternoon, via
the Western Pacific, for his old home
at Bridgeport, Conn.,, where he will
remain in the practice of his profes-
sion. DR.. Guessing wishes to say
farewell, through the columns of the
Silver State, to many friends in Hum
boldt whom he was unable to meet
personally, and states that his sojourn
in Nevada has been very pleasant.
Coming in from Paradise Valley
last evening DR.. Guessing met with an
accident that might have terminated
seriously but for the presence of mind
of his driver. Meeting vehicle, his
rig turned out up the mountain for it
to pass, when the wagon eapsized and
he was thrown out into the road with
such violence that he was rendered
unconscious. The driver jumped and
secured the horses, and DIR. Guessing
soon recovered sufficiently to resume
his journey.

SHEEP Will SOON
BE A CURIOSITY

From present indications there will
be few sheep left in Humboldt coun-
ty in another year or two. This will
be in part due to the Democratic free
wool tariff, although the prevailing
high price of mutton has something to
do with conditions.
1t is said that about $4,000 head sof
sheep have been contracted for by
buyers in the northern part of the
county during the pash ten days, and
half as many more have been shipped
from Golconda and ndWinnemucca during
the past week. Saturday Frank Gar
teiz shipped $500, and Sunday s.
Siard shipped 1000 head from Winnie
mucca. From Golconda, John Casa
biele shipped 1000 head of lambs yes
terday, Julian Liotard shipped 5000
head of lambs and wethers today, and
John Etchert is preparing to ship
about 5000 head of ewes the latter
part of the week. The shipment of
A. Pasquale from this station today
amounted to 3,400 head.
To a Silver State reporter today, q
prominent sheepman said that the I'm
derwood tariff bill is the straw that
broke the sheepman back. For the
past several years, he claimed, there
has been but little money in sheep.
This condition was due to the high
price of labor and supplies of all
kinds, including hay, high license fees
and taxes, and fees demanded by the
government for permission to Craze
on the forest reserves.
"And now," said the sheepman,
1--WE are confronted with free wool
tariff on one side and the Nevada
state tax commission on the other.
The outlook is discouraging, and the
ultimate result will be that before the
end of the Wilson administration there
will be but a small portion of the pres
ent number of sheep left in Nevada. Z"

"This bill creates new land dis

Carson City. This bill divides sne
state into two parts'

TAX TO
make UP DEFICIT

According to estimates by treasury
experts, 425,00O American citizens
must keep such accurate accounts Of
their incomes this year that they will
be able to report to the income tax
collector next spring exactly how
much they owe the government under
the new income tax law. So far ~
the taxable American is concerned, the
income tax law practically new is in
force against him.
The tariff bill in which the law is
embodied, will not be signed until
next week and the first returns do not
have to be made before March /, 1914.
But when the returns are made they
will vocer the incomes of citizens from
March l, 1913, to December 81, and
the first payment of tax win be for
money received during this period.

The estimate indicates that the in

will be added the $35,0OO,O 900 or more

Those Exempt.
President Wilson, the Federal
Judges of the supreme and inferior
court now holding Office; and en-
ployes "of state or any political
subdivision thereof, are the only per-
sons specifically exempted from the
tax by the new law. The president and
judges now in Office were exempted
to escape any questions of the con-
stitutionality of the law and their
their successors in Office will be COM
PEELED to pay the tax.
The general public is expected to
give close study to the new law in
the next few months, as the first
burden of the tax payment rests
with the individual citizen and his
failure to report his income il pun
ishable by fine. 1t is admitted that
when the first returns are made a
great many taxable persons probably
will escape payment; but with each
year the government list of persons
with taxable incomes will be made
