RENO firm CON-
Trolls STATES CLIP

The total value of the Miller & Lux
estate in Nevada is $1,464, $500. ac-
cording to the report of William Blatt-
ner of Winnemucca, special appraiser
appointed by the court in the case of
George Cole. as State Controller, VS.,
j, Leroy Nickel, Nellie Miller Nickel
and several score other defendants.
The appraisers report was filed yes
terday with the Washoe county clerk,
says the Gazette, and shows the es-
tate to be located in Humboldt, Wa
shoe and Lyon counties. The bulk OF
the property is in Humboldt county.
In hat county the real estate, with
improvements, is appraised at 1884,
4O2.31 and the personal property at
$597 1889, a total of 1922, 240.70. In
Washoe county the real estate, to-
gether with improvements, is APP
praised at $14S,S9S and the personal
property at $46,262, a total of $685.
100. In Lyon county the appraiser
fixed the value of the real properly
and improvements at $2S2,322 and the
POAooAdA Opcll at Pt ,UJo. III Lyon
county the appraiser deducted $12,25O
for damage to land, making the total
appraised valuation in that county
$347,1 65, The figures are several hun
dred thousand dollars in excess of
the value placed Oh the property by
the tax commission, but the tax COM
missions value placed on the prop
erty represents 20 per cent of the full
cash value, while the appraiser en-
deavored to fix the full value.
The appraiser found that Henry
Miller owned, on April IL, 1913. the
date of his death, 119,871.75 shares
of capital stock in the Pacific Live
Stock Company. the Miller & Lux
concern. Only 1900 shares of capt.
tai stock had been issued.
The problem of figuring up the
inheritance tax due the Sttae on the
Miller estate is quite complex, and
Attorney-General Thatcher says It
will be some time before the figures
are determined. The encouragement
says that he believes the inheritance
tax, when arrived at, will be paid
without a contest on the part Of the
Miller estate.

-
The devil was given permission on
day
To select a land for his own specia
way;
So he hunted around for a month o
more,
And fused, and fumed, and terribl,
swore,
But at last was delighted a countr,
to view
Where the prickly pear and the cat
claw grew.
With a brief survey. and without fur
Their excuse,
He stood on the banks of the Santa
Cruz.
He saw there still improvements to
make.
For he felt his own reputation al
stake.
An idea struck him; he swore by his
horns
To make a complete vegetation of
thorns.
He studded the land with the prickiy
pear,
And scattered the cactus everywhere;
The Spanish dagger, pointed and tall;
And at last the cholla to outstick
them all.
He imported the Apache direct from
hell
The size of his sw~eet-scented ranks
to swell,
And a legion of skunks. whose loud,
loud smell
Was to perfume the country he loved
so well.
And then for his life he could not see
why
The rivers should any more water
supply.
And he swore If they furnished an
other drop
You might take his head and horns
for a mop.
He sanded the streams until almost
dry,
And poisoned them all with alkali.
And promised himself their Shiny
brink
The control of all who from them
should drink.
He saw there were no more improve
ments to make,
So imported the scorpion and rattle
snake,
That all who came to this country to
dwell
Would be sure to think it almost hell.
He fixed the heat at one hundred
eleven
And banished forever the moisture of
heaven.
And remarked as he heard the fur
mace roar
The heat might reach five hundred or
more.
After fixing these things so thorny
and well,
He said: "I1l be damned if this don't
beat hell"
Then he tapped his wings and away
he few
And vanished forever in a blaze of
blue.
Then no doubt in some corner of hell
He gloated ove work he had done so
well,
And vowed Arizona couldn't be beat
For thorns. tarantulas, snakes and
heat;
For with all his plans fulfilled so well
He felt assured that it simply was
hell.
