The distances show that there are
two short iron shot holes going out
and two coming in--the regulation
number
The first nine short holes are of
crying mRshie distances. and the
second nine short holes are the long
iron lengths. This is a good distri-
button OF the little short holes that
add so much to the character Of a
course. There is also a 225-yarder,
which ordinarily means that play
er can get home If he hits 1t. This
one sees five three with a good chance
at many more on the two-shot holes.
I AM glad to see that there are FIVE
crook holes. To my mind the
crook hole is particularly testing and
rewarding
There are two routea to the six
teenth hole. which reminds me in a
way OF one at Old Elm. one road to
the hole Is 81 two shotter and danger
Gus. and the other n three and safe
AS | understand 1t the two shot way
requires two long shots, possibly very
long and testing carries. This hole so
near the end would mean much to a
match drawing to a close.
The second nine is the longer and
harder of the course. There are two
long holes on the second nine and one
on the first.
The longest hole is 600 yards, rather
a monotonous length on some courses,
Looking at 1t on paper / would call
the second hole one of the best on the
course, particularly like the dis
lance and the location of the green,
which lies just over a bend OF the
creek, giving a good second short car
ry on a 435-yard hole.
Taken all IN all. the course looks
like an excellent one, and what is
more, modern test of the game.

SEEK ADJUSTMENT OF
STATE BULLION TAX

The executive committee of the Ne
vada Mine Owners association met
yesterday at the Office of Secretary
w. B. Alexander in the Odd Fellows
building. and routine matters were
discussed and disposed of, says the
Journal. One of the principal mat
ters discussed was the state bullion
tax provisions and the committee
members will appear before the state
tax commission in Carson today to
settle this question.
During the year 1913 an agreement
was entered upon by the operators
and tax commissioners regarding the
basis of taxation. This agreement ex-
pired upon the first of the year. IT
is understood the mining representa-
tives look with favor upon plan for
extending the 1918 agreement over
for this year, while the tax commits
sion is said to hold that a slight in
crease should be made.
At the meeting yesterday John G..
Kirchen of the Tonopah Extension,
w. II. Blackburn of the Tonopah Min
ing, Albert Burch of the Goldfeld
Consolidated and W. F. Bradley of
the Pittsburg Silver Peak, were pres
emit, as was also W. B. Alexander, sec
