Dear Si:
Your favor of the 18th addressed
to the Mayor has been referred by
him to this department for atten-
ton and we have pleasure in en-
closing copy Of our annual report
for year ending Dec 81, 1914 We
believe a perusal of this report will
be mole eloquent argument in
favor of municipal ownership than
anythin we could say. However
for information, we will recite lit
tie of the history of the water works
of this city
In 1884 the citizens of jackson
voted bonds to amount of 500, 900
for the purpose of building water
supply system. At that time the
population was under 8. 900 and the
water rates charged were with the
exception of South Bend, Indiana
the lowest of any city in the states.
For about FIVE years tax was levied
on the real estate to help pay the
interest on the bonds and stree then
the plant has been self sustaining
paying for all costs of operation,
improvements, interest on bonds
and extending the mains to all
portions OF the city and is now sup

BOSTON ELY DECLINES
TO PAY FURTHER TAXES

The directors of the Boston Ely
Mining company are not in a gay car
nival mod. Because they had spent
close to a million dollars in the ex-
ploration of their mineral holdings
near the Veteran mine without suf-
ficient encouragement in the shape of
ore values to justify the expenditure
of further money in the development
work, the management desired to be
relieved from the payment of further
taxes. They intimatel that they
would not contribute further to the
support of the county treasury be-
cause they felt that their possessions
were without value.
Some people must have a structure
as large al the Woolworth building
crash into their utmost story before
they realize that they have been dis
allusioned. The commissioners struck
the fond hopes of the directors a blow
below the belt. when the clerk was
instructed to notify Jerome C. Smith,
the secretary of the company, that
the board was powerless to act in the
premises. as the matter complained
of was beyond their control.
The Boston-Ely company spent a
large sun of money during it's active
period in an effort to discover ore of
a commercial variety. Lack of prop
er equipment made the sinking of the
main working shaft unusually ex-
pensive. The management did not
anticipate finding an ore body of
merit above the water level, and lack
ed financial resources for the install
lation of a pumping plant that would
thoroughly test the ore bodies below
that point, except through a limited
amount of diamond drill operations,
which accomplished nothing. 1t was
the impression of those in charge of
developments that the ground was
not entirely barren. as small streaks
of ore were encountered occasionally.
During the early days the late
Thomas Rockhill was always able to
acquire a grub stake at regular inter-
walls through surface shipments from
the Matilda mine. The Boston Ely
ran a cross cut from the 110O-foot
level in the direction of the Matilda
property with the expectation of en-
countering a commercial grade of ore
but developments indicated that the
values decreased as depth was attain
ed.

OPTION IS TAKEN ON
NEVADA UNITED MINES

An option has been given on the
holdings of the Nevada United Mines
company at Ward. Information of
this nature has been received from
Denver by A. G.. Burton of the Ely
Investment company. who was large
ly responsible for a revival of activity
in the old camp nine years ago. Mr..
Burton states that the initial payment
falls due on July l..
The local mining man fells assured
that the capitalists who are interest
ed in the big mining deal will arrange
for the completion of a railroad from
the properties to connect with the Ne
vada Northern in Steptoe Valley, thus
assuring the success of the enterprise.
The Nevada United a compelled
to suspend operations three years ago
owing to its inability to raise suffici-
ent money through a bond issue to
provide the camp with railway facili-
ties. The large tonnage of low grade
ore that had been disclosed in the
various workings could not be handl-
ed at a profit. after the expenses of

Drastic measures for the suppress
sion of the drug traffic are contained
in the federal law which vent into

the provisions of the act that the
government will not permit either
wholesale or retail druggists to dis
pose of opium or any derivative, IN
less sanctioned is obtained from the
proper authorities.
The privilege of disposing of the
juice of the poppy in its various
forms must be made on a special
blank which is Issued by j. J. Scott,
collector of internal revenue at San
Francisco. The fee for issuing the
license is s1.00. The blanks are
printed on paper that is difficult to
counterfeit.
Persons who violate the provisions
of the act that was approved by
President Wilson last December are
subject to a fine of $1,000 or five
years Imprisonment or both for
using opium and other preparations
made from it. Druggists in Ely have
