road, returned from Rochester yester-
day, after having gone over and re-
eeived the work done by the contract
ol, H. Deuprey, same being now com

Rochester Mines company.
There now remains only the trestle
approach to the ore bins of the mill
az Lower Rochester to be completed,
which will be done about Saturday
Freight and passenger trains are run
ming to the Upper town of Rochester,
and early next week it isexpected that
the road will begin hauling ore to the
mill, which has been delayed ON ac-
count of the shipment of material and
the repair of an engine
From the account given, Rochester
mining district will be shown to be
enc of the best in the state, as the long
tunnel now being driven to tap the
lower levels of the Rochester mines
will open more ore than the present
mill can handle.

CAPITAL
INVESTED IN CHINA

The Amos Bird company, Connect
cut concern with head offices at Bos-
ten, Mass, has discovered that, under
the Democratic tariff law, the estab-
is hment of dried-egg plant in Shang-
hal, China, is good investment. The
Department Of Commerce reports that
the company has about completed the
construction OF huge cold-storage
warehouse containing the most modern
evaporating aud refrigerating appa-
ratus. All arrangements have been
completed for getting supplies of ma
terial, converting it into the product
and transporting it to this country for
the use of restaurants and bakeries. 1t
win come into active competition with
American eggs.
This adds another TO the long list Of
industries which are being organized
abroad with American capital to reap
the double advantage of cheap lahos
and a free, or tariff fOr-revenne only.
American market The duty ON drie
eggs was cut 33 l-3 per cent by the
III lderwood tariff law, since the enact
ment of which enormous quantities Of
this product have been coming in from
China. A recent report issued by the
Department of Commerce states that

LOCAL TAXPAYERS
HEARD BY BOARD

j. K. Harvey and William Blattner,
Of Paradise Valley, and f. j. Button, of
Winnemueea, appeared before the state
board of equalization at Carson City
Monday, and were given hearing by
that body that lasted the entire day.
Upon their return to Winnemucca
Tuesday evening, Mr.. Harvey had the
following TO say regarding the tax sit
uation:
after meeting with the board, we
are all of the opinion that the members
are disposed to deal fairly with all
sections of the state, and that they
will stay in session until the assess
mcnt has been equalized.
Heretofore there has been consid-
erable dissatisfaction in Humboldt
county over the assessment of land
values, as fixed by the tax commission,
but that body acted without sufficient
data, and not from any desire to do
the taxpayers of this county an Unjust
ice. As an illustration. the tax COM
mission has record of every real es-
tie sale in this county for the past
several yeasr, which were used as 4
basis for determining the assessed val
nation of lands. But these were mis-
leading, for the reason. that the pur-
chase price in many instances included
hay, stock and other personal proper
ty, which fact was not known to the
commission and consequently not taken
into consideration. The result was that
several parcels of land in the county
were assessed at considerably more
than they sold for.
BHt ] believe that this year errors
If this character will not occur. The
beard is made up of practical men, who
seem determined to go to the bottom
of all assessments and equalize without
fear or favor =
