Express Company Must Pay Taxes


The Nevada Supreme Court has
decided that Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
Express must pay its taxes in the
State of Nevada. There are several
cases under title of the State against
the company, which have come uI
from different courts. The decision
has been against the express COM
pany in all these cases and the de-
cision of the Supreme Court covers
them all. They involve the State
license fee as we'll as county and
State taxes. the company having
maintained that it was an interstate
carrier and not subject to license by
any State.
1t is learned that the amount OF
Wells Fargo's delinquent taxes and
licenses now due Eureka County will
amount to approximately $4,000, and
should the company settle without
carrying the matter to the United
States Supreme Court this county
will benefit accordingly.

Bye ResiStS
GopherS and Drouth

The question is often asked, what
crop can be sown that the gophers
will not eat? Gophers are very
troublesome pests, especially on the
dry farm. They eat ravenously al
most every green thing that is plant
ed. Rye has been found to be about
the only gopher resistant crop. They
do not seem to trouble it as they do
the other grains. A number of
farmers in the vicinity of Wyoming
experiment station have grown rye
very successfully while their other
crops were completely destroyed by
gophes.
Rye is a good pasture or hay crop
and also makes good grain for feed
ing purposes. It will also produce
a crop of grain with as little mois-
ture as any other plant. Its drouth
and gopher resistant qualities to the
dry farmer make it especially valu-
able and should be more generally
grown. On the experiment farm rye
has also been a good crop under ir-
rigation, either for hay or forage.

Sheriff w. A. Ingalls, of Esmer-
aida County arrived in Eureka the
first of the week with a warrant

New Power Drill Invented

A large sized model of a power
drill invented by Richard Pierson OF
Nina looks az though it had in a
measure solved a great deal of the la
Dor problem in underground work OF
small mines and the cost of putting
in air compressors and machine drills.
The Pierson handpower drill is a box
like arrangement with a crank at
tachment fitted on a pedestal. The
whole is made compactly of steel and
will weigh about $50 pounds. 1t is
swung to drill at angle, upper or
downs. The drill is placed in hold
er attached to the crank, giving it a
l2-inch throw, and a half revolu-
ton of the crank gives it a driving
power of 1000 pounds. 1t looks as
though it was destined to take the
place of much of the single and
d~ouble-jack method. One man can
operate it, and there is absolutely no
jar to the operator Mir Miner.

giving odds of three to two. But
Buckhorn and Eureka covered all
that was offered.

the first baseman threw to third base
instead of to the home plate, let in a
run.
The final score was three to two in

To Run Is or 20 Years
Elko Independent: E. r. Richards,
manager of the Buckhorn mine and
also manager of Buckhorn's victor
ious baseball nine, when interviewed
Sunday at the Commercial said that
the Buckhorn mine had ore reserves
practically in sight to run the pres.
ent mill for Is or 20 years.
Buckhorn is now working 125 men.
The ore is all worked by the mil
right on the ground. Nothing is
shipped out but gold bullion.
The Buckhorn is one of the rarest
mines in the world. This is due to
the formation. The Buckhorn is
perhaps the only gold mine where
the values are found in basalt.
The country rock is basalt and this
basalt has been mineralized for a
hundred feet in width. The ore zone
has been traced on the surface for
1000 feet in length. The greatest
depth thus far is about 100 feet.
The Buckhorn is located about half
way between Palisade and Eureka
and 20 miles west of Blackburn, a
station on the narrow gauge.
