Dayton o., March 2S.-All but few
Of the hundreds Of persons who have
been marooned In the downtown sec
bon Of flooded Dayton since Tuesday
morning are safe.
Chief Of Police ]. N. Allaback, who
has been directing the rescue work
Eamong the marooned people, gave the
Information as to the situation. He
estimated that. except for loss Of life
on the north side Of the river, there
were not more than 200 dead In Day
ton as the result Of the food
This knowledge gave rise to the hope
that even in North Dayton - about
which nearly all hope had been aban-
doned-there might be comparatively
few deaths.
Governor Cox's secretary, Mr.. Bur
ba. however, was scarcely able to cred
1t the report from the southern dis
trict. From his own Investigations he
was unable to believe that the death
list would be under 1900.
"There are 10000 unaccounted for
on filis side of the river" be said, "and
If all but 200 of these are found It
will be the greatest miracle OF the
time"
No word has been heard from Mayor
Phillips. The chief Of police had been
unable to get near the Phillips house
and did not know whether the mayor
would be found dead or alive.

Road Contract Let.

Thursday last the Board of Super visors opened bids for the furnishing of teams and appliances to be used in the construction of the new section of the National Highway from Topock to Yucca. Three bids were received, one from E. w. Norton, of Needles, c. c. Welsh, Needles, and the Aubrey Valley Construction company. The Welch bid and that of the Aubrey Construction Co. were within few cents of each other in the computation of costs, there being but thirty cents difference in the basis of estimate.
 It is the intention to have the work commenced within the next two weeks and rushed to completion. While this work will not make boulevard of the road, it will be pass able to automobiles and teams and will be later rebuilt and provision made for thorough drainage. Until the bonds of the county are sold lack of money will curtail the permanent nature of the work. The Assistant State Engineer is here and will have charge of the work. Should the sale of bonds take place before the tenn porary road is completed, and the money made available for the build ing of the road as permanent part of the state system of highways, this en- gineer will begin the work of con- Struction as soon as the temporary work is complete.

Hills mines, that have been valued at very low figure will be touched up at a new rate this year, the State Tax Commission requiring them o be put in at not less chan 5O$ per acre and it it is also possible that new valuation will be placed on the mill and ma chnery. When all the new property is taken into consideration Mohave county will be well up among the big counties of the state and the taxpayers will not be overburdened either. The board is trying to do its duty by the whole people and individual tax payers that believe they have been hit too hard will have their hearing and can exhibit proof that this is true. A low levy is more to be desired by the people that have the welfare of the county and state at heart than the evasion of years tax and we hope everybody will look at it in that light and take their medicine with good grace.

Adjustment of Valuations.

The time of the Board of Equaliza- tion has been taken up this week in
 'scruIn the list of property valua. tions as given to the Assessor by the taxpayers and preparing a list of those that have been adJudged guilty of mpoverishing themselves. Pos sibly when the raises have been made public there will be heard large vail from all parts of the county, but the taxpayer will bear in mind the fact that the returns of the Assessor has shown that the levy will be cut in two from that of last year or approx imately .50S on tue l0O$ of valuation, which will be a most inviting rate, when it is considered that taxpayers in this county have been used to 3 5OS and sos on the l00S of valuation. A rate for the taxation of cattle has been devised by the Tax Commission, which runs to six times the sales of steers and five times the sales of mix ed cattle, and three times the nun Der of calves branded the cattleman to show his brand book unGer oath and the sales to be from the inspectors books Lands are to be also valued very high. as well as is the stocks of merchandise. which must show in- voice with discount of ten per cent Mines are to be taxed on four times the net and l2 l-2 per cent of the gross, besides the physical valuation of the improvements.
 It IS believed that Mohave county will show tax roll of little less than l5,000,00O This would reduce the levy to little over one dollar on the lOO$. The railroad Is to be assess ed on basis of 45,OOOS per mile and the Western Railway Chloride branch) at about l43, ,000S. Last year this road was assessed at 1S,00O$.
