from coast to coast along this pro-
posed route people will show their

those in Ely who first proposed to
offer their services in repairing the
roads damaged. by the high water,
to postpone the excursion until Lin

enthusiasm among the local travellers
to make a showing that will be OF
value to the county and also add to

new LICENSE REGULATIONS
They Are Now Due On the Ex-
piration OF Each Quarter Of
the Year

Under the new law an important
change has been made in the col
lecting of licenses. Formerly it was
the practice to collect the quarterly
amount from the date of the appli-
cation, but this cannot be done any
more as the law expressly stipulates
that the amount must be paid to the
end of the quarter, and the amount
for the next quarter following must
also be paid. The law is very strin-
gent on this point as shown by the
following extract received from the
Nevada Tax Commission by Sheriff
Mahoney.
Chapter 22--An Act to amend
section 126 of an Act entitled "An
Act to provide evenu for the sup
port of the Government for the State
of Nevada and to repeal certain Acts
{ relating thereto" approved March
%, 1891. approved March 5, 1879
, Section l.. Section 126 is hereby
t amended Sc as to read as follows:
Section 126. The licenses pro-
f vided to be granted by the provision
g of this Act, except theatres, me-
nageries or circus licenses, shall be
$ granted for one, two or four
g quarters at the option of the person
applying for such licenses. The term
n quarter" wherever used in this
r Act with references to time shall
be construed to mean one quarter of
Q a year, and said quarters shall begin
with the months of January, April,
| July and October of each and every
year, and whenever any person, firm,
o association or corporation shall APP
ply for a license to conduct business
r in the middle of any quarter, or any
? part of a quarter, the said person,
f firm, association or corporation shall
' be required to pay said part or por-
ton of the unexpired quarter, in ad-
dition to the quarter Immediately
I following, and said licenses shall be
8 so arranged as to have said license
fall and become due on the begin
ming of a quarter, and the Sheriff
< and Auditor shall have the right and
authority to issue a license for a
q fractional quarter so as to have all
q licenses fall due at the beginning of
4 a quarter as herein provided.
The Commission has instructed
the Sheriff to secure from all bust
ness houses statements of the amount
of business done for the quarter
ending September 30 and to issue
the licenses for the ensuing quarter
I based on the business as shown by
the statements.

FORMAL PROTEST FILED
Nevada transportation Co. Not Satisfied
With Proposition Proposed By Nevada
Railway Commission

The Nevada Transportation Com
pany, lessee of the Eureka-Nevada
Railway, has filed aformal objection
to the opinion recently rendered
by the Nevada Railroad Commission
in an effort to bring about a settle
ment of the differences existing be-
tween the railway company and the
Richmond-Eureka Mining Company
in regard to the freight rate on ores
between Ruby Hill and Palisade.
The railway company does not
state the grounds for its objection,
and these will probably not be made
known until the hearing of the Ease
comes up before the Railroad Com
mission.
The Railroad Commission gave the
two interested companies until Oc-
tober Is to accept or object to the
rates and recommendation proposed
by it, stating that a further hearing
of the matter would be given either
company if formal objection thereto
was made, but if no objection was
made, the proposed rates would ther
be ordered put into effect.
So far as known the mining com,
pany has taken no action in the mat
ter, and it is generally thought here
that the rates proposed by the Rail
road Commission would have beer
accepted by it, but the opportunit!
to do SO and resume operations at it
mines on Ruby Hill must now neces
sarily be postponed until a furthe.
hearing of the ease can be heard b,
the Railroad Commission.
The following is a copy of the for
NAL objection filed by the railwa,
company:
