DEEP WORKINGS OF
CASH BOY SHOW ORE

There have been so many cries OF
''wolf! wolff" about Cash Boy that
it is hard to realize that the wolf
actually seems to have come. A
chunk of ore, weighing about 100
pounds, in window of r. F. Brown
brokerage office today is seemingly
conclusive proof that the wolf has
arrived. The ore is ~variOusly esti-
mated in worth, but a general aver
age is placed at $50.
A. s. Ross, the president Of the
company, who is here comforting
with General Manager Meade, is
so assured of the permanency OF
the deposit that he says a carload
will be gotten out next week and
that it will average better than $40
to the ton. The ore was found by
cutting north from the shaft through
the vein on the 1850 level and then
drifting east. The formation appears
to extend into the Merger. Mr.
Kirchen is going below with Mr..
Ross and Mr.. Meade this afternoon
and negotiations are on for contin-
uing the working into Merger
ground.-Tonopah Bonanza.

taking over the property, made an
exhaustive examination of the

RECEIVER'S HANDS MAY BE
REVIVED

Last Monday H. L. Van Valen,
the representative of the stockhold-
ers of the Smith Valley Mines COM
pany, arrived in the city, his visit
having for its object a conference
with Receiver E. j. Cooper and War
rem Hauser, attorney for the receiv-
er, regarding the final settlement OF
all obligations and the ending of the
r~eceivership and future operations
of the property. Through the efforts
of Mr.. Van Valen and associates ar
rangements have been made for the
future financing, and it is thought
that all troubles will end in a very
short time.
Last Wednesday, accompanied by
G. NJ. Coddington and N. w. Willis

county, who are operating the Noun
tain View mine. he visited the Smith
Valley. wheree he found Seeepr Saun-
ders, who gave him all the assist

This visit was a revelation to him.
He has at all times had confidence
in the property. but hardly expected
to find it of such magnitude. Every

tom of the shaft was thoroughly in.

ore, opened in all the levels was in
deed a revelation, so much so that
he Immediately t~elegraphed the
NEST favorable report to his stock
holders. During his visit he has
been impressed with the favorable
comment of a number of miners
who have worked in the property.
The property is equipped with a
25 horsepower gasoline hoist, a six
drill compressor, which is run by
a 60 horsepower gasoline engine.

for operation.
1t is thought that all arrange

The tax commission of the state
has raised the assessed valuation of
property in this county from 81
600, 900 to s7,13O.644.5O. at the
last meeting of the commission at
Carson City. In order to meet this
raise and still not cause the county
tax payers a material raise in rate.
the county commissioners, in con-
junction with the district attorney,
decided to lower the budget of the
county expenses and have arrived at
a figure which they are confident
will be sufficient to carry the coun-
ty through the year with no serious
curtailment of expenses.
The budget for the preceding
year was $156,000, while the fig

alterations of the commissioners

was $4,000, a cut of $4,000
from the preceding year.
The county commissioners fled the
budget of expenses for the year 80
that the evenu derived from taxes,
plus the income from other sources
in the county and the expenses for
the year will balance. This indie
pendent income is derived chiefly
from the bullion tax and the tax on
personal property. which this year
amounts to $4,000. This leaves
$4,000 to be raised by the general
taxation of property. According to
the recent assessed valuation of the
county the rate of taxation must be
s1.35 plus the state tax. which is
$50, making a total of $1.913,
which, when added to the bond re-
demption. town and fire tax of $2.74.
makes a total Of $4.65.

WORRYING ABOUT Rain
SEVERAL FARMERS TRY DRY
FLOWING THIS YEAR.
Ideal Autumn Causes CONSERVATION
Among Polk County's Anxious
Agriculturists.

Fair weather and frost, the wealth
erman IS verdict for the near future, is
not causing any particular delight
among the farmers of Polk county
The glorious autumn days, with their
springtime sunshine are ideal for the
pheasant hunter, but the tiller Of the
soil is just beginning to worry about
their continuation. Dry plowing has
never been generally practiced in this
county, perhaps because farmers
could not wait for the ground to dry,
but this year it is just the opposite.
They cannot wait much longer for the
rain to soak their land so that plow-
ing will be easy. In many parts of
the county, in fact in most parts,
some dry plowing has been done by
the farmers who feared that the dry
weather would last so long that they
could not get their soil turned over
before the winter set in. Some of
them have just plowed enough to be
sure that they can complete the re-
mainder after the rains, and other, in
semi-desperation have completed their
plowing. When the threatening wealth.
er of last week yielded not drop of
rain, many, who, had waited in hope,
harnessed up the tractor to some we'll
fed gasoline and turned over 10 or IL
acres the first day. Others will plow
this week, and some few will hold off
until the last minute for rain to come
to soften the many unplowed acres
that remain. Those who have tractors
are not SO worried as the others who
are forced to follow the slow moving
team, but with the weatherman pre-
dieting that the glories of an ideal In
dian summer, a delightful autumn,
due to continue for some time, it is
improbable that even these will delay
very long in experimenting with dry
plowing. Since this has not been a
general practice in the county it will
be interesting to note its results in
the crops next spring.
