NO-DOUBT ABOUT
PRIZE FGHT..LAW

Several days 81 we published an
item relative to the governors veto
OF thel prize 1hghtebilt. in which Sen
ator Huskey was quoted as saying
that 1.-THE state was thrown wide open
to prize fights because the 1913 statute
had been repealed. While we were
sure that the governor acted upon
goodaadsicei andfs stated, the follow
ing statement from 4he governors
secretary clears up the matter def
nately:
Senate Bill No. 1874 was amend
ed to strike out lines AZ, AZ, "A OF
Section 38- on page 20 of the bill,
which was Intended to repeal the
1897 statute on the subject but
which failed to get through. I beg
to advise you that the enrolled
bill which was approved by Gov
ernor Boyle did not contain this
repeating clause. and therefore
the 1913 statute on the subject
still governs these matters.
The lines referred to in the letter
and which 1t Is said were stricken
out of the bill as adopted read as fol.
lows: can act to. restrict and license
glove contests, or exhibitions between
man and man, and to repeal all acts
in conflict herewith" approved EJanu-

SOMEBODY WROTE
I0WH|TE PINE

For many years past, owing to the
ambiguity of the law, Elko county
officials have been able to fim.fiam
White Pine county out of her just pro;
portion Of grazing tax and sheep tax
from nomadic bands of sheep which
drift into the eastern portion of this
county during the winter months. But
now, owing to a slight change made
in the law by the recent legislature
the difficulties which have heretofore
confronted the official of White Pine
county have apparently been cleared
away, as the following letter from an
official Of Elko county to District At
torney ZURICH will attest:
I'VE wish to tender you our con
gr%atulations on the new law in re-
gard to sheep grazing as It appears
in section 16, chapter 17S, advanced
sheets Of the law, as en-
acted by senate bill No. 124. We
still contend and maintain that we
property interpreted the word AN
nually,' but we are forced to admit
that things look differently since the
little word calendar was placed di-
rectly between the words same year
in the above section, making 1t read
same calendar year This will re-
suit in the loss of considerable rev.
enue' to Elkoi county after the. year
1916. but what sElkoa White Pine
will gain. There was 0tnobody home
.as far as Elko county was concern
ed, when the bill passed, but there Is
no hard feelings fon our part, and
we will take pleasure in buying
one the next time we meet."-Ely

CONTROLLER COLE SUPPLIES
DATA FOR STATE PUBLICITY

In reply to request from the pub
fishers of the New International En-
evclopedia for information as to the
financial condition of the state of Ne
vada, Hon. George A. Cole, state con
troller, has prepared statement that
is both interesting and instructive, in
that it shows what healthful con1i-
tion the state is in. The statement has
nothing to do with shortages that may
occur in the different funds, for these
are matters of legislation and have no
thing to do with the states intrinsic
worth, and are outside of the question
asked.
But without going into too many de-
tails and to give the public a brief,
but general idea of what Nevada owes
and what it possesses the following ex-
eerpts and tables are taken from Mr..
Coles reply to the publishers:
'sThe state holds in trust for its edu-
eationai funds the bonds of various
states and counties, all good and draw
ing interest for the benefit of such
funds, to the amount of (including in
terests to January i 1915) s2,426,25
OF this $6s0,000 is from the state It.
self, and we therefore have a balance
IN our favor of s1,746,252.20.
eve may add to this amount con-
tracts on state school lands (reports Of
surveyor general and state land regis
ter, 1910 to the extent of $1,102,-
961.47, which drew interest of $66,17s
for 1914.
"These figures show assets and re-
sources as follows:
"Bonds and accrued interest, 2,426,
252.20.
"school lands, contracted, s1,1o2,
961.47.
"sProperty owned and used by the
state, $1,911 ,046.75.
"Total, s5,440. .26042.
"Less states Indebtedness, $780,
00o.O
"Balance over state debt, $4,760,-
260.42.
"The assessed value of all taxable
property in the state for 1914 was
sl35, ,42s, ,275. and for 1915 (estimated)
s152 100000.
For the sake of discussion we may
assume that the present population of
Nevada is 100000 This figure gives
US a per capita assessed valuation of
81 .s54, per capita of state property of
ss4 40, and per capita debt of $3.50,
and while our totals may not be large
compared with other states, owing to
our small population, our per capita
items will compare very favorably
with those of cur more fortunate and
favored neighbors. Carson Appeal.

ERECTING MILL AT
BONANZA MINE

Workmen sre engaged in grading the
site for a new mill at the Bonanza
mine, situated on Winnemucea noun
tain and owned by the Winnemueea
Mountain Mining company. The steel
structure is on the ground, having been
recently hauled from Golconda. The
machinery has been ordered and will
be installed upon its arrival, by which
time it is expected the building will
have been set up. A cyanide process
will be used to handle the ores, and
the latest machinery has been ordered.
1t is said to be automatic and will be
handled by one man. The mill will
have a capacity of 80 tons every "a
hours.
The same company owns the rich
Rexail mine, situated three miles west
of the Bonanza, and the mill will also
treat the ores from this mine. In order
that they may be hauled to mill, fine
wagon road has been built for the en-
tire distance

WAR IN The CARPATHlANs
Passes Which the Russians Are En-
deavorino to Force Are of Inn
mense Importance.

The Carpathian chain, from south OF
Krakow TO the Roumanian border,
runs a distance of 300 miles Months
ago. before the Russian recoil from
Bukowina, there was contact along
nearly the entire line. Today the
armies are in clash on a line of about
120 miles. In the north is Dukla pass,
by forcing which the Russians would
clear the way to Barfa or Bartfeld,
and the railway line leading through
the important city OF Kassa to Buda-
pest Thirty miles southeast of Dukla
lies Lupkow pasg, through which runs
the railway from Przemysi, by way of
capital. Fifty miles southeast of Lup-
kow is Uzsok, the strategic center OF
the Carpathians, through which comes
the railway from Lemberg. Thirty-five
miles TO the southeast lies Beskid pass,
through which the Russians at one
time had penetrated as far as Volocz.
In Hungary. Midway between Uzsok
and Beskid. on the Galician slope of
the Carpathians, the German forces
sent to brace up the Hapsburg troops
have been standing on guard in the
vicinity of Koziowa, where terrific
combats took place when yet there

grad has been claiming successes in
that region-a march of less than
twenty miles will bring them out on
the Hungarian plain. while further to
the north and south the Carpathian
barrier widens out and presents diff
cult country for a rapid advance.
Along the fifty miles from Lupkow to
Uzsok the decisive clash will take
place.

a WEAK SPOT IN
STATES REVENUE LAWS

OF more than 100000 due for the
second payment of the 1914 taxes,
there remained unpaid but $5.1S, due on
two tracts of contract land. At the
tax sale held yesterday by County
Treasurer Hoenstine, there was no bid
der, and all that now remains is for
the commissioners to strike these
amounts from the roll at the September
meeting to balance the books of the
auditor and treasurer, and the county
will lose the money.
The law should be amended in this
respect to conform to the statutes of
other states, where at tax sales prop
crty is bid in for the state by the Of
fetal conducting the sale. where there
are no private bidders. In this man
ner the tax becomes a lien on the prop
erty until settled while under the
present law where there is no bidder
for parcel of property the county
loses the money and the owner is en-
riched in corresponding amount.
