general classification given preceded
by the word special and followed
by figures showing its estimated cx-
cess value. As, for example; John
Doe owns 800 acres of irstclass cul-
tivated land twenty miles from the
city of Reno and ten acres OF first
class cultivated land adjoining the city
limits OF Reno. where, by reason of
its location, it is worth per acre four
times rs much as the more distant
land. Entry would be made thus
John Doe, first-class cultivated land
$50 acres: special irst-class cultivated
land t4O0 per cent?, 10 acres. (Com-
