Sank, Wis.-Peter L. Walsh was
born on the old farm where he died
in the County of Sank, state of Wis
consin, and was the youngest of a
family of six children, four boys and
two girls. His parents came from Ire
land and were among the early pho.
neers who settled in the state of Wis
consin. They first lived at place
called Genevie for a short time, when
they moved onto the estate in Sank
county, which is still owned by the
sons. Peter L. Walsh was christian,
religious mana Catholic to the
tiniest fibre of his heart. He never de-
MED his faith and this too made him
friends in ALI denominations. While
to chronicle his death brings sorrow,
1t also brings gratitude. Sorrow that
he has been cut off from us so soon,
and gratitude that such a good man
has lived in our midst for nearly %
years. Those surviving him are: John
Walsh and Michael Walsh, his broth
ers, of Sandusky, Wis.,, and one sister,
Mrs. Thos. Kahel or Taopi, Mimi, be-
sides his many nephews and nieces
living in Wisconsin and his cousins
here. The funeral occurred from the
st. Patrick's church and his remains
were inferred in the Catholic cemetery
along side of his father and mother
and one sister and one brother. May
his soul rest in peace.

Parcel Post Eliminates The
Middltman.

Officials of the United
States Department of Agri-
culture have been testing out
the>parcels post as a means
of marketing eggs and have
found it highly satisfactory.
The department has shipped
466 lots, consisting of 9,l31
eggs to various parts of the
nation and upon arrival at
destination, only 327 eggs,
or three and one half per
cent of the total were broken.
Ten dozen eggs can be ship.
ped in one container a dist
ance of $50 miles at a cost Of
A. cents per dozen. This
includes the cost of transport
alton and container. Louisi-
ana postal authorities advise
that the farmers and farmers
wives of this state are utiliz-
ing the parcel post exten.
sively in selling farm produce
direct to the consumers and
excellent results have been
obtained. Last winter when
eggs were being sold by re-
tailers at from so to IS cents
to the consumer the farmers
were only receiving 20 and
25 cents per dozen for their
product, giving the middle
man from 80 to 40 cents on
each dozen eggs he handled.
The parcel post system of
marketing entirely eliminates
the middleman's profit and
divides the profit Of the mid.
dleman among producer and
consumer.

CHRISTIANSON BONDS
CLAIMS FOR $50, 900

During the present week Martin
Christianson bonded three of his
claims in the Willow Creek district
to Monoville Holmdahl of Oakland,
California, for 100000, in four equal
payments to be made every six
months, together with Is per cent
royalty on all ore shipped during the
life of the bond. Mr.. Holmdahl had
thirty days in which to commence de-
velopment work on the property, but
has already sent one team load of
supplies from Ely to the mines, and
will O soon have the work under
full swing.
C~hristianson was formerly employed
at the smelter, but soon after the
discovery of rich ore at WillOwCreek,
decided to try his luck prospecting.
He located a number of claims there,
and aside from those bonded is still
interested with Ed. Wilson and others
in another group which promises well
and upon which he expects to do a
considerable amount of work in the
near future.
Last month he encountered a
missed shot, which came near cutting
off his earthly career. At the noon
hour he visited the prospect of a
neighbOr where two shots had been
fired. His neighbor had gone to
his camp for dinner. Christianson
stepped down into the shallow open
ing, when the third shot, which had
hung fire went off, filling his face full
of small samples of the rich quartz.
His face, hands and head were badly
lacerated, and he has been busy ever
since picking out pieces of quartz,
of which he still carries a few sam
les beneath his skin.-Ely Record.

ABANDONED MINE
WILL Be WORKED
PROPERTY NEAR wADSwORTH
ONCE WORKED BY MEXI-
CANS HAS RICH ORE

A. j. Moore of Oakland, Cal, was
in Reno yesterday in the interests of
the Fortuna Grubstake Mining COM
pany of which he is the president. The
Fortuna is a Nevada company, having
been Incorporated in this state, and
owns property in various parts of
Humboldt and Churchill counties.
The Fortuna property, upon which
work will be concentrated, is stu
ated about 35 miles north of Wads-
worth and 55 miles west of Lovelock.
The property was worked about 80
years ago when crude methods were
employed, and sampling has resulted
in assays ranging from Sc upwards.
Mr.. Moore stated last night that he
was preparing to SUI operations
on the property and that about six
tons of ore had already been extract
ed and was ready for shipment. A
considerable tonnage has been block
ed out and it is expected that sys-
tematic developments will reveal an
increased lead and silver, the latter
element appearing in the chloride
state.
1t has been reported that in the
early days the property was worked
by Mexicans and the ore hauled to
Sacramento by OK teams. A recent
government report declares the cost
at that time was about $24 a ton, in
Guiding both mining and milling
charges.
Under the present management it
is contemplated to haul the ore to
Wadsworth and then ship it by rail-
road. Later, the owners hope to be
in position to erect their own mill.
The Fortuna company has as its
officers, Mr.. Moore, president; r. H.
Young, of Lovelock, secretary and
treasurer. and J. A. Anderson as

TAX COMMISSION

GOES INTO THE PUBLIC UTILITY
CORPORATION TAX
LEVIES

The Nevada tax commission has
sent to all the district attorneys of
the counties and attorneys of the
cities of Nevada copies of a letter
bearing upon public utility corpora
ton tax levies. The letter is based
on section 5 of chapter A, statutes
of 1913, which reads as follows:
1.-THE property of all 1ailroad.
street car, street railway, telephone
and electric light and power COM
pany, together with the franchisee
under which the same may be oper-
ating and the property and franchis.
es of all express companies operating
on any common carrier in this stat.
and which foregoing shall be as
sessed as follows: Said commission
SHALL establish the valuation of the
franchises, roadways. roadbeds. rails.
bridges, rolling stock, poles, wires,
fences, pipes, canals, conduits, rights
of way and other property, or an.
part thereof, useu directly in the
operation OF any such business o.
any such company in this state, Il,
a collective unit; and if operating
in more than one county on estab-
fishing such unit valuation for the
collective property said commissio'
shall then proceed to determine Ill,
total aggregate mileage operating
within the state, and within the sew
eral counties thereof, and so ap-
portionate the same upon a mile
unit valuation basis, and the num-
ser of miles so apportioned to any
county shall be subject to assess
ment in that county according to the
mile-unit valuation as established by
said commission"
In it's letter to the district attor-
neys and city attorneys. the a com-
mission said:
Our Interpretation of this statute,
based on the opinion of the attorney
general, is that the property of all
railroads, including SHOPS, rolling
stock, DEPOTS, which have hitherto
been assessed in the counties in
which such structures are situated,
must now be assessed as a collective
unit and apportioned to the various
counties through which the railroad
or other utility operates, on a pro
rata of the mileage in such county
to the whole mileage of the system
in the state. Since this measure
affects the assessment of your par
ticular district this commission has
deemed it advisable to notify you in
order that you may, if you desire,
make any showing which suggests
itself to you why shops or other per-
manent structures should not be pro
rated over the entire system of the
respective utility corporations to
which they belong. The commission
will be in session as a board of ap-
,raisement for about three weeks,
and we will entertain any showing,
either verbal or written, which you
may care to submit"
