Shipping Nevada Alfalfa East

Although he has several alfalfa
ranches of his own in different parts
of the United States, James B. Hag-
gin, the copper magnate who now de-
votes himself chiefly to the raising
of race horses, pays a decided tribute
to the alfalfa raised in the vicinity of
Lovelock in shipping it all the way
to New York for feeding his yearling
colts.
1t is a well established fact among
stock feeders that the Lovelock alfal-
ia has something about it that is
better than that raised anywheree else
in this western country. The wonder
full properties of this hay have be-
come known far and wide and the
result has been an influx of cattle and
sheep into the Humboldt valley this

State Tax Commission
Will Study Conditions

The tax commission, composed of
j. F. Shaughnessy, Emmett Boyle
and C. H. Colburn. will tour the
State within a short time and will
spend two or three weeks comforting
with owners of land in each county
in an effort to prepare data that will
admit of the uniform treatment of
real estate holdings. When the
commission has completed their in
vestigations into every nook and cor-
ner of Nevada they will have become
wholly conversant with conditions.
This will allow of the invocation of
uniform treatment of all the hold
ings within the State when another
year has rolled round.

National Highgraders Fall Out

1t is said that the National high
graders are in clover again. Within
the last two or three weeks high-grade
has been struck in on the Buckskin
mountain mine of Senator Bell, as
well as on the property of the Charles
ton Hill Development Company. 1t
is openly stated about camp that a
high-grader several days ago secured
a quantity of rich ore from one OF
the mines, which he had run at a
local assay office securing about S11OO
worth of bullion. The next morning
as he was sitting in his cabin survey
ing his wealth another high-grader
entered and at the point of a rifle
took the bullion away. The original
thief is afraid to make a roar for
fear that he may be arrested, and
contents himself by saying that thief
No. 2 will never leave the camp alive
with the bullion. --Winnemucca Sill

v A PRESS COMMENT
Shouting In Crooked Manipulation

From all accounts il would appear
that the cutting of the North Star mine
of Tonopah. through the management
of Herman Zadig of San Francisco. 10
little less than q crime which has already
cast q shadow over legitimate mining
throughout the entire State Of Nevada.
For nearly half a century Zadig has
profited by manipulating the markets
on Comstock shares, and he is now play
ing the same old game at Tonopah.
Zadig has never been a developer OF
mines-always a manipulator engaged
in shady transactions. through which
the poorer classes of spectators Of San
Francisco have been separated rom
their hard learned money. He is too
smooth an artist to be caught in the
meshes of the law and prosecuted for
downright swindling. Nevada mining
companies should ignore the San Fran
cisco stock exchange. which has been
rotten for the past so years.-Ely Record.

Wells. Nevada, Dot. 2z.-Peaoe reigns
once more in this community after a
lively school dispute.
Early last week the local school board
notified Miss Mary f. Haskett, who
was serving as principal Of the school
aud teacher OF the high school depart
ment, that it must dispense with her
services because the State Board of Ed
ucation refused to certify her for high
school work. She refused TO give up
her keys and gained much popular
sympathy and support on her claim
that she was being dismissed for failing
to show favoritism toward the children
of some OF the trustees.
State Superintend dent Bray and Dep.
uty Superintendent Anderson were
Summoned and at q school meeting held
last Saturday made it clear hat Miss
Haskett vas granted a temporary cer-
t~i1cate on her promise to furnish ere.
dentials that would comply with the
State law. But. Mr.. Bray said. she had
failed to produce credentials on which
the State Board could legally grant a
high school certificate.
However, out of Difference to the
opinion OF her supporters. she was
granted two weeks more in which to
produce credentials.
The school was opened last week In
charge Of +. E. Odell. Miss Haskett
has gone to Salt Lake City. Many
doubt that she will return, but she has
announced that she will be back within
the allotted time and force the school
authorities to RECOGNIZES her credentials.
