gether at Carson City To the sur
prise of the respective gentlemen
representing state and corporate in
terests it was discovered that they
We're pretty generally agreed as to
the principal features of the meas
ure in abeyance and with a few trif-
ling amendments a formal ratifica-
tion of the new basis for taxing
mine priducts was reached.
After a brief discussion and hear
ing few explanatory statements,
John G Kirchen, acting as spokes
man for the Mine Operators, said
he was authorized to accept the prop
osition which will go into force forth
with for arriving at taxes for 1913,
/ The effect locally for this year
will be to increase the receipts 40
percent which will give Nye county
between $4,000 and $4,000 to ap-
/ portion to the general funds of the
county and the schools Last year
the mines paid approximately $7S,000
in bullion tax. This leaves the prop
osition open to the district attorney
to settle the back taxes alleged tC
be due for the last two years wher
the taxes were in dispute There is
almost positive assurance that the
mining companies will settle on the
basis agreed upon for the curren
year as the Goldfield Consolidated
company has already expressed it
self willing to abide by this decision
without any litigation. It is i'm
possible at this time to state withou
further time to make calculations
what additional amount is allege,
to be due for these two years bu
this will be determined in the cours
of the next 80 to 60 days and tn
matter taken up with the companie
alleged to be in arrears,
The mining companies will col
(. tinue to pay on all improvements jus
a the same as they have been payin
with possibly an increase in the a
sessed valuation of their mills whic
cannot be appraised at nominj
R figure since the clause providing fC
depreciation allowance acts as
check on the assessment In 9TH

mill appraised at $4,000 and the
n write off $4,000 a year on the grouI
Ie of depreciation. The allowance f
d depreciation is a fixed percentage
