The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1915-10-09

Ely Record: Irwin Brothers of
Duckwater, in Nye County. have de-
cided to cut down 60 acres of their
fruit orchard in order to devote the
ground to other products. They
have an orchard of about 10, 900 trees.
which has not proved financial sue
cess for the reason that it is situated
10 miles from Ely, which is their
principal market. Their principal
reason for cutting down the trees is
because the State tax commission is
assessing fruit lands at Sl00 per acre,
which they consider an unjust and
arbitrary tax. considering that their
orchard is 70 miles from railroad
and located in a sparsely settled COM
munity, where there is practically no
market for their fruit.

A meeting of the Nevada Stock
Commission will be held some time
next week for the purpose of levying
an assessment of one-half a mill on
every head of live stock in the State.
1t is proposed to place in the hands
of the commission by this method
approximately $4,000. which is needed
by the commission to carry on its
work. says the Gazette. The board
this week heard petition presented
by ]. A. Saunders of Nye County in
behalf of stockmen of Nye and Es-
meralda Counties asking for an in
crease in the bounty on mountain
lions. Stockmen in those counties
assert mountain lions are very
numerous this year and are wreaking
great destruction among the cattle.

known miners in the State. met with
a tragic death on the 1500-foot level

sisted two companions in drilling and
loading seven holes and the three men
had lighted the fuses before going off
shift. Just as the last fuse was light
ed there was terrific explosion and
Gillen's body was found some 80 feet
away in a frightfully mangled condi-
ton. Burridge and Robinson. who
were standing near Gillen, escaped
without scratch.

Well. Fargo Company To Appeal

The Supreme Court on Tuesday
denied rehearing in the case OF the
State against the Wells. Fargo Ex-
press Company, an action involving
the payment of taxes on the privilege
of the company to do business within
the State. The original decision sus-
tanned the findings of Judge Ducker
of Humboldt County that the tax
was legal. 1t is alleged that the case
will be carried to the United States
Supreme Court on writ of error.

EQUALIZATION BOARD
FINISHES ITS WORK
Members In Interview Favor
Present Method of Obtaining
Property Values

The State Board of Equalization
adjourned Thursday night. The clos
ing hours were harmonious in the
extreme. says the Carson News. A
considerable portion of the day and
evening was spent in the clearing up
of the protests that had been sub
mitted during the session.
The resolution presented by Gov
ernor Boyle Wednesday concerning
land classifications and values for the
counties of Douglas, Humboldt. Elko.
Washoe, Lyon and Clark was adopted
as presented. with the exception of a
few minor changes, which, however,
makes practically no change in the
totals.
The following live stock valuations
we're determined upon for the 1916
assessment purposes: Cattle. all
classes, including calves branded in
1915, $33 per head.
Sheep, 81 per head. Hogs, 8
months old or over, So. Pigs, 2 to 8
months old, $3.50 per head.
Bees. $4 per stand. Chickens. DO
cents. Turkeys, 81. Ducks, 60 cents.
Gee=e, 81.
Horses, mules. jacks. jennies, bur-
ros, stations. brood-mares and thor
oughbreds were left to the various
assessors.
Each assessor was invited by Chair
man Boyle to express his ideas and
make such criticisms as he deemed
proper. at this time, of the present
method of the handling of the tax
situation. They were all unanimous
in the assertion that the board, as
now organized. was far in advance
of anything that had heretofore been
employed in the State. Several
frankly stated that they had come to
Carson City bitterly opposed to any
centralized control. but that they
had become thoroughly converted
through the necessity of some such
system.
Mutual complaints were passed
between the assessors and the mem
bers of the Tax Commission. and as
surances given that 1916 would
witness the greater advance toward
Statewide equalizations that Ne
vada has ever experienced.

Winnemucca, Nevada, man, commit
ted suicide in a hotel in Marysville.
California, by drinking formalde-
hyde. No cause is known for the
suicide.
As a result of the decision by
Judge Averill recently. the town of
Tonopah is to changeits form of gov
ernment and plans for commission
system are under way. 1t was de-
cided that the county commissioners
have no jurisdiction over the camp.
One of the most pitiful cases of in
sanity that the Tonopah court has
had to handle was brought before
that body recently. Mrs. Ellen Ross
was consigned to the State asylum
at Reno with a mental ailment which
was caused by a physical disease left
upon her by her husband, according
to information received.
The Nevada motion picture cor
poration, which filed papers of incor-
poration with the Secretary of State
recently, will establish plant at
Reno with a capital of $3.50, 900.
1t was only after many experiments
had been made that it was decided on
for the site. Buildings will be con-
structed and the company is assured
Of a large market for its output.
A bad accident occurred in the
Gipsy Queen mine at Tonopah recent
ly when the bucket in which Earl R.
Lawson was riding turned turtle in
the shaft due to its getting caught
short distance from the bottom of
the shaft. The young man fell and
struck on his head on the bottom of
of the shaft. He lived 36 hours, but
never regained consciousness after
the fall.
The Tonopah Mining Company at
a meeting of its board of directors
on September % declared a quarterly
dividend of Is per cent payable Oc-
tober 81 to stockholders of record.
This is the al dividend since its record
breaking production began 10 years
ago, and makes grand total of $l3.-
600. 900 which the stockholders have
received in dividends since that time.
The supreme court is considering
arguments in the case of the Pacihc
Land and Livestock Company VS.. the
Mason Valley Mines Company. In
this suit the plaintiff seeks to enjoin
the smelling company from operat-
ing its smelter at Thompson, claim
ing that the fumes from the smelter
destroys the vegetation in that sec
ton. The lower court sustained the
demurrer of the smelter people. and
appeal was taken to the supreme
court.
