Notes of the Election.

notes OF the EIeCtIOus
The first precinct to report its COM
plete count was the first of the First
ward, with George Burghart as super
visor. This precinct has the lghtest
vote of any in the city-179. The
registration was 337-226 men and
Ill women. The report was turned
in by midnight of primary day.
The quickest counting work. con-
sidering the number of voters, was
done in the second precinct of the
Fifth ward. There were 612 voters,
and the report was in before o'clock
Wednesday morning.
In commenting on the primary,
Commissioner Kemper said: There
were a fourth as many calls to this
office to ask about corrections as last
year. This shows that the registration
was more perfect"
Commissioner Kemper was pleased
with the work of the women on the
boards. In fact he said in some in
stances it was better than that of the
men. In some cases old men were
put on election boards-men who were
much in need of a job.
Commissioner Kemper requested the
women to vote in the forenoon on
primary election day. Mr. Kemper
said today: "In most precincts the re-
quest was complied with, but in a few
cases it was not

Mill Started At
Golden Gate
Two Hundred and Fifty Tons of
$3.50 Ore Already Blocked
Out in Mine

Ed Donovan and Joe Brown, owners
of the Golden Gate mine. west of
Antelope Valley, have had force of
men taking ont ore for the past sew
eral month sand at this time there is
over 250 tons of ore ready TO be run
through the mill. The ore will averaas
500 per ton in free milling values.
Yesterday the mill was put in opera
tion under the management of Lester
l1ll, an expert mill man of Bodie, and
will be kept running throughout the
rest of the winter. With $50 tons of
ore ready for the mill and he face of
the tunnel in a solid body of ore, it
seems certain that the owners of this
mine have bright prospects for the
future.
Two years ago the Hall Mining
company worked this property under
an agreement of purchase, making an
initial payment of $500 on the pur-
chase price of 100000. A fine mill
was erected, tramway bnilt and other
made for the eeonomi-
cal handling of the ore. When their
option expired, they allowed the prop
erty to revert to the original owners,
although the mine had been made to
pay, The property was not as large
as the company had wished for and
therefore directed their attention to
other mining ventures of greater
magnitude.
With the property producing free
mining ore that averages $3.50 per
ton, together with the complete min
ing and milling equipment, Messers.
Donovan and Brown will make a
splendid success of the Golden Gate
mine.

TAN BOARD TURNED DOWN

The application for writ OF man
damns To compel the board of county
commissioners of Esmeralda to re-
duce the tax rate In that county and
to increase certain assessed valu-
ations, which writ was applied for by
the state tax commission, was de-
supreme court.
Last week the tax commission or
dered the increase of certain assessed
valuations In Esmeralda county, and
also a reduction of the rate from 81 %
to sl.lG on the slo0 valuation. II
was held by the commission that the
increased valuations would produce
an amount OF revenue more than snf-
ficient TO meet the estimated expens-
es of the Esmeralda county govern
ment The county commissioners of
lssmeralda refused To be guided by
the recommendation OF the tax com
mission and the matter was taken he
fore the supreme court.
Although Esmeralda county is the
only one in the state imediately af-
fccted. the denial ofthe writ estab-
fishes precedent, In that II appar-
entity holds that the tax commission
has not the authority to fix the rate.
Practically every other county in the
state will be affected by the decision.
The changes made by the commission

suited In some cases in an excess of
from S5o, 900 10 SG0. 900 more revenue

Dividend Is
Declared
The United Farmers Telephone
Company Make Stockholders
Happy-Get Six Percent

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the United Farmers Tele-
phone company was held in Gardner
Vile last Saturday and among other
business matters transacted by them,
six per cent dividend was declared,
which was made possible by the ex-
tremly healthy financial condition of
the company. An election of officers
was also held which resulted In the
retaining the members of the old
board and are as follows:
+. Christensen. President; Fritz
Schacht, Nice-President; j. H. Wood
Treasurer: +. j. Phillips. genera
manager and secretary and II. W.
l3assman.
When the movement for the orga-
nlzation OF the Farmers company was
first agitated by +. J. Phillips. the
owners of the old company readily de-
clared that that the exchange could
never be made to pay dividend and
that a 10000 investment would van
ish like a SNOWFALL in June. With
this impression to overcome, Mr.
Phillips undertook to organize the
Farmers company on November ! lth,
1911. Two weeks later a preliminary
meeting OF subscribers for capital
stock was held in Gardnerville. Ii
was at this meeting that James G.
Sweeney heavy stakeholder In the
old company, used every means AT
his command to discourage the orga-
nization of the new company, and to
place Mr.. Phillips in bad with our
local people. Phillips replied to the
remarks of Sweeney in a master
ful way and met each argument with
convincing denia's. The new com
pany was organized and on December
9th, 1871. the articles of incorporation
were recorded. The new company
went to work building new lines TO
remote localities and were preparing
to compete with the old company
when negotiations were opened for the
purchase of the old system. On Aug
I. 1912 the deal was made and the
Farmers company absorbed the old
system. the purchase price being
5000
At the time of taking over the bust
ness of the old company. the exchange
had 1870 subscribers. Today the sys-
tenn boasts OF 2ll subscribers. The
present company has spent large
sum of money In new construction
work and the installation of new
switch board and other apparatus
for the Improvement of service.
BESIDES these numerous improve
ments. the company has liqnidated
that the eXchequor of the concern Is
bulging to such an exten that a divid-
end of six per cent can be paid to the
stockholders.
II is indeed gratifying to chronicle
the payment of this dividend since
a blghted future for the Farmers
company especially SO under the
management OF Mr.. Phillips. was
openly predicted at certain meeting
held in Gardnerville, November 2Sth,
1872. So the six percent dividend
now being declared is the residue of
that certain SNOWFALL onetime deposit
ed in the month of June.

SICK HEADACHE
Pinklets, the New Laxative, Gives
Quick Relief in Most Cases.

As rule sufferer from sick headache
can tell hours in advance when an at
tack is coming on.
The trouble is caused by gradual accu-
mutation OF poison generated in the di-
gestiye organs and when certain point
is reached this poison produces nausea
and the attack follows.
In very many cases the use of a proper
laxative before the condition of prostra-
ton is reached will forcethe poisons from
the system and the attack will be avoided.
Pinklets are a dainty laxative, tiny,
sugar-coated granules that arouseno feel
ing of repulsion, and they act 80 gently
that they are the ideal laxative to use in
correcting tendency to sick headache.
They do not upset the digestion, do not
grippe and have no unpleasant effect to
make them objectionable to the extra
sensitive sick-headache patient. Old
fashioned, harsh purgatives will not do
at all in such cases. For complete infor-
nation regarding the treatment of sick
headache send to the DR.. Williams Mcdi-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for the
Pinklet book. 1t is free.
Your own druggist can supply youwith
