COUNTY BUDGET
FIXED FOR 1917
Is BASED ON ESTIMATED TOTAL
VALUATION OF
$6,246, 900

Early this month the board of
county commissioners passed a reso-
luton requesting County Treasur-
err Robertson to appear before the
state tax commission relative to the
budget of Esmeralda county for the
zeal 1917 and also to appear be-
fore the state board of investment
regarding the sale Of refunding
bonds of 1907 and 1908 to the
amount of 100000.
The county treasurer recently re-
turned from Carson, where he APP
peared before the two bodies. He
negotiated the sale by Esmeralda
county to the state of bonds in the
amount of 100000 at par, bearing
interest at 5 per zen per annum
the bonds to be delivered, $4,000
before May /, 1917, $4,000 before
July /, 1917 and $4,000 before
July l., 1918. The delivery at
these dates is fixed so that interest
may be saved the county.
On County Treasurer Roberson's
trip to Carson, on e~stimations by
himself, the assessor, the board of
county commissioners and the state
tax commission, the Esmeralda
county budget for 1917 was pro-
vided.
The budget is based On an actual
valuation in 1916 in the county of
$6,S46,161.O5, the value of the real
property in that year having been
$6,O74,779.19; the personal proper
ty, ~s9O,514.5O, and the bullion,
$6SO,S67.36.
Based on the 1916 figures, the es-
timated total valuation for 1917 is
$6,246.0 900, the value of the real
property being estimated at S.
$4,000. the personal at $4,000,
and the bullion at $500. 600.
The estimated amount for expen-
ditures in 1917 for running the
county government is $122,700 and
the county tax rate to bring in the
necessary amount on a valuation Of
600 is 1859. Added to this
will be the state rate of .6205, plus
a highway tax of OF, making a
total rate for the county at large
of 2.2495.

GROOM PROSPECTING
STILL CONTINUING
MANY PROPERTIES ARE RE
CEIVING WELL DIRECTED
ATTENTION

Outside prospecting continues to
bring good results. The Groom dis
trict is steadily growing in size,
and in the diversity of it's metals.
Besides the lead-siiver ores from
the Groom mine, gold, silver and
copper ores are added to the list
in the past few weeks in growing
quantities.
o. G. Boyd found a ledge of high
grade silver-bearing ore on top OF
the quarzite mountain east of camp
ten days ago. 1t is 1900 e e east
of the hoist on the Groom mine.
He has a group of four Claims
there, while ether parties have To-
Gated six more. The ledge is trace
able for a long distance and the
best approach to it will be from the
East gulch.
Sandry has brought in some fine
samples of lead-silver ore from a
group of claims which he has taken
up in the low hills north OF the
dry lake, something like three
miles southwest of camp. The Tor
nation there is similar to that OF
Groom Gulch-quartzite, limestone
and shale. Sandry is the night en-
gineer, but puts in part or MS
time during the day in prospecting
The locations were made within the
past two weeks.
The Groom Southend company
found galena in its shaft on the
Southend claim less than ten feet
from the surface. This shaft Is
being sen down to work a known
body of ore lying to the north.
President VIM. Armstrong OF Salt
Lake has shipped a gasoline hoist
for use in this shaft and 1t Will be
in use a few weeks hence. In It's
Bride claim shaft, adjoining on the
quantities of galena continue to be
found. This is a parallel ledge to
the Groom. 1t is traceable, big and
strong. for 5000 feet or more to
the south. On it, Frank p. Smith
and Ivan Kendall have located the
Bridesmaid claim, and in doing
the location work the past ten days
have found good lead carbonates
in a vein there some ten feet in
width. All indications point to a
big mine in that vicinity, as the
Groom ledge, proper, is only 800
feet to the east.
The Groom Extension company,
working north of the Groom mine,
~~o~t on it's shaft,
which has he"o~a 100 'deoD for
windlass work, till a hoist arrives,
which is said is about to be ship
ped from Los Angeles. This COM
pany has put three men to work on
the Midget claim, adjoining to the
west, and on March 25th cut into
some two feet of high grade sill
