clean and retimber the old workings,
so that everything would be in
readiness, when capital was available
for the reopening of the mines.
Ward has represented a picture Of
blighted hope, since operations were

work within few days. He antici-
pates that it will require three

Deputy Assessor X. c. Davis, who has
been patrolling the boundary line be-
tween White Pine county and Utah

$500 from the wandering herds that

been made to realize that they must

That Sparks should win the boys

MERCHANDISE LICENSES TO Be ABOLISHED
THROUGH PASSAGE OF NEW REVENUE ACT
SATISFACTORY
METHOD COLLECTING
TRANSIENT SHEEP

A salient feature of the new
revenue bill that will be sponsored
by the administration forces at the
legislature provides for the elimina-
tion of merchandise licenses. accord
ing to District Attorney Anthony
Jurich, who returned yesterday after
noon from business mission to Car
son.
The practice of collecting licenses
from persons engaged in mercantile
pursuits has been in effect since the
admission of the state. and the de-
cision of the powers that be in state
affairs to institute a startling inno-
vation will result in a deficiency of
$50 900 in the revenue of the differ
ent counties. but methods will be de-
yised by those in charge of the new
measure to make up that shortage.
Mr.. Jurich discussed with the
trainers of the proposed act plans for
taxing sheep from other states that
make a practice of winterin9 in diff.
ferent counties in Nevada Under its
provisions the sheriffs of the coun
ties where herds are grazing will be
authorized to place them under at
tachment if the owners fail to COM
ply with statutory requirements.
A clause will be incorporated in
the new revenue act" said Mr.. Jur-
ich. regulating the taxing of for

New Life for
Cherry Greek
WITH STUART MILL READY TO
HANDLE TRANSIENT ORES,
OLD TIME SILVER CAMP WILL
BE RESUIslsECTED.

Cherry Creek. rich section with
historic fame, will soon awaken from
long sleep. The purchase of the
Stuart mill, recognized as one of the
most modern plants in the state. by
E. d. Shurtleff from George A. Fish
er, will be the impelling motive that
will resurrect some of the old time
bonanzas that have slumbered for
decades. The deal was consummated
in Ely last Tuesday. The considera-
ton has not been made a matter of
public knowledge by the parties in
volved in the deal.
Mr.. Shurtleff is of the opinion that
Cherry Greek has been put on the
scrap heap for years because of
the lassitude that has been displayed
in numerous mining camps through
out the west.
| 1t is the intention of Mr.. Shurtleff
to handle ores from numerous pros
poets in that locality, and he is GER
tain that they will respond to powder
and steel and give their dormant
wealth to the world. He also expects
| TO treat custom ores for James Nc
Coy. with whom he was previously
associated in a lease on the Excheq-
uer. Mr.. Mccoy will continue to ship
his high grade ores to the Utah smell
ters.
The success that attended the eff
forts of Mccoy and himself in trans
forming the Exchequer into a produ-
Ger of more than the average, con-
yinced Shurtleff that there was
large tonnage of low grade ores in
the cocomongo district. heretofore
regarded as worthless, which could be
handled af profit in the Stuart mill
In order to acquire control of the
MILL Mr. Shurtleff disposed of his in
terest in the bond and lease on the
| Exchequer. and invested the proceeds
in the milling plant.
Already the thill of the coming
| day Is being felt. Men who have here
tofore lacked the sagacity and cour-
lage to tackle the game are willing
to take chance on a prospect that
appears to possess merit. realizing
that with facilities not far distant
TO treat the output of their proper
ties, a revival in mining will result
Altogether the old silver camp looks
very promising.

past the first sheriff that got into
communication with the owners of
rowing bands of sheep got the money
and kept it, Now the money received
will be divided equally among the
different counties where the sheep

sion to prevent the passage of Assem-
bly, Bill No. SO, which had been in

CATION, and allowed the city to re-
tain all moneys collected from retail
liquor licenses within the corporate
limits. l demonstrated that 1t would
entail a loss of $4,000 a year to the
county, and that it did an injustice
to taxpayers living outside of Ely.
The members of the assembly and
senate agreed not to press the meas
ure unless the city and county Off
cials would agree to the enactment
of such a law.
THE bill. authorizing the COM
mssioners of White Pine county to
appoint the deputies for the various
Offices was approved by Governor
BOYLE last Friday"
Il do not believe that any changes
will be made in the present gambling
law. The passage of the six-months'
divorce law and the bill permitting
the placing of bets on horse races
were two successful efforts that were
backed by the anti-reform forces. and
they seem to think that they have
gone far enough. Amendments TO
the anti-gambling act are receiving
but scant attention"
