SAXON WILL TRY FOR
COASI.TO.COAsI RECORD

Messrs. Hammond and Bell, ar.
irving in Saxon Six passed through
Ely on Thursday en- route from San
Francisco to New York in an attempt
TO lower the record from coast to
coast of five days and eighteen hours
recently made by Marmon car.
Arriving in Ely the Saxon Six was
just one hour ahead of the record
made by the Marmon car from Ely
to San Francisco Messrs. Hammond
and Bell, however, found IT necessary
to spend two hours here TO have nee
essary repairs made. and upon leav-
ing were one hour behind the record
of the Marmon car.
The Saxon Six hopes to make the
journey in five days. and If this Is
accomplished they will lower the
record by eighteen hours. Between
Salt Lake City and bly, the Marmon
car lost considerable time and the
Saxon drivers hope to be ahead of the
record when they re&h the Utah
capital. II will be remembered also
that the Marmon car encountered
difficulty west from
Cheyenne, at which point they were
head of their schedule which called
for five days for te trip. II the
Saxon car reaches Cheyenne without
so much difficulty. their chances OF
breaking the record will be greatly
improved.
One thing, however. seems 10 De
demonstrated beyond any question,
and that Is that the Lincoln highway
is the right way, and the trip across
the continent can be made in re-
markably short space of time,

resides at Albany, New York, and is
making q tour of the west with the
primary purpose of settling up the
affairs of the estate which have been
pending for about nine years.
At the hearing on Friday before
Judge McFadden. the discussion be-
tween Attorney 3. l.. Quayle, repre-
septing Mr.. Graham, and Attorney G.
F.. Boreman, for Ex-Governor Dick
erson, was spirited. After listening
TO the arguments of counsel, Judge
MeFadden ordered that the matter
be set down for hearing on next Sat
urday morning at 10 O'Clock, when
another spirited legal battle is looked
for. Chas. II. Graham at the time OF

NEVADA CONSOLIDATED FOR
THREE MONTHS PERIOD END
ING JUNE 80 MILLS 1904 ,887
DRY TONS OF COPPER.

The stockholders of the Nevada

milled. while during the previous
quarter the company milled s27. $50
dry tons of Its ore which averaged
1.66 per cent. OF the total, 88 per
cent was taken from the great steam
shovel pits, while the remaining IL
per cent came from the deep work
ings In the Ruth mine.
The cost of producing copper Is
shown to be 8.51 cents per pound,
and in this figure Is included the de-
probation of the Steptoe plant az

the price of copper for the quarter

the first six months of the year the
price was 1887 cents per pound. Ac-
cording to the report no copper re-

ANOTHER CUT IN
COUNTY TAX RATE
WHITE PINE IN GOOD SHAPE Fl
NANCTALLY AND TAX PAYERs
WILL WELCOME REDUCTION
MADE BY COMMISSIONERS.

At the conclusion of its work as
board of equalization as the law re-
quires, on Monday last. the board of
county commissioners voted unan-
imously to make further reduction
of 80 cents in the general county tar
rate. The rate as fixed In March last
to meet the budget was $1.10, but.
owing to the income from the net
proceeds of mines which far exceeded
the amount anticipated by the com
missioners when they made the rate,
1t is found that the figures then fx-
ed will bring in considerably more
money than will be required.
The county is undoubtedly In bet
ter financial condition than ever be-
fore In its history and this addition
al cut will be big relief to the tax
payers. When fixing the rate In
March of this year as the law re-
quires, the commissioners made a
substantial reduction from the fg-
ures of last year. and when they
found their income to be greater
than they expected they were quick
to take advantage of the opportunity
for still further reduction.
A reduction of ten cents from the
figures Of last year was made In the
state tax rate at the last session of
the Legislature and this will be like
wise welcomed by the taxpayer. By
the reductions made in both state
and county rates the taxpayers of
White Pine county are benefited In
the sum of 60 cents on each 500
valuation. With the county rate at
so and the state rate at .483, the
general rate in this county will be
s1.2G3. as against $2.163 for last
year.
Owing to the high price of copper.
the income from the bullion tax for
the first quarter of this year was
approximately $4,000. while for the
second quarter 1t reached a figure
something over $4,000. There In
every reason to believe that the last
six months of this year will bring
about the same proportion from bul-
about 100000 cash in its treasury
available for current expenses
