rather loosely in that county:
Ii costs an enormous sum to run
Nye county. The county is in debt
and needs funds badly. Every count!
in the state with one or two eNCep,
lions is in debt, and many have an
Indebtedness that would make this
county's appear rs drop in the
bucket" But Nye's Indebtedness is
big enough at that. When yesterday
mornings Times came out with the
announcement that the accountants
employed by the grand jury to audit
the county hooks had found that the
sum of $29O,5I7.7O was due from Touo.
pah mining companies in unpaid bull
lion taxes, the taxpayers of Tonopah
sat up. rubbed their eyes and won
dered If it could be true that such a
vast sum was actually due the coun-
ty. They began hoping TO a man that.
If there is no mistake about it, the
county gets the money. They talked
of lower taxes, paying off the county
debt, etc.
The accountants report shows that
nearly 100000 is due the county and
state from the Tonopah Belmont De
velopment county and the Tonopah
Mining company. The thing to do is
to get the money. The grand jury has
recommended that in the event OF
suit that the best legal talent obtain
able be employed. The big mining
companies never go into court without
they are represented by the best coun-
sci that money can secure. The COM
panies accused of defrauding, the coun-
ty out OF all this money are not likely
to meekly hand over this money To
the county; that would be an admis-
sion of guilt. The county will have
TO fight for it in the courts. The suit
would probably cover a period OF sew
eral months, possibly years. The
money is not being held out to the of
ficials on silver platter.
From the report it appears that the /
accused companies will have a lot of
explaining TO do. There are TWO sides
to every question, as everyone knows,
and just what explanation the COM
panies will make will be awaited with
interest by every taxpayer in Nye
county.

DOESN'T LOOK FOR
RADICAL REFORM

The Ely Record, one of whose edi-
tors Is a member of the legislature,
has the following to say relative TO the
possibility of dry legislation, and the
placing of the lid on gambling:
From the best information obtain
able at the present time, the Record
is of the opinion that the so-called
liberal element" has control of both
branches of the legislature, hence it is
not probable that reforms of any
material benefit will be had at this
session, which will be used as
strong argument for prohibition two
years hence. II the liquor dealers
We're awake to the true sentiment of
the people of Nevada, they would have
a number of reform measures passed
which might prolonE their business for
a few years. The people of Nevada, in
our opinion, are not as strongly op.
posed to the saloon as they are to the
gambling games, which have hereto
fore been run wide open" and in de.
fiance of law. On the first of the
year all illegal gambling was discon-
tinued throughout the state, but this
has occurred before for brief periods
of time, only to be resumed after the
passing of reform wave. Many peo
pie favor prohibition for the reason
that they believe il will eliminate all
gambling. However, this matter is
now squarely up 10 the saloon men
themselves. II they prefer present |
conditions TO high license and strict
regulation of their business they must
expect prohibition two years hence.

THE MINING OUTLOOK FOR THE
COMING YEAR

The outlook for Elko county's min
ing industry for the coming year was
never so bright. From every camp
come reports of glowing prospects and
there is not doubt that Elko county's
yield OF precious metals for 1917 will
eclipse all previous records.
or particular promise are Jarbidge
on the north and Bullion on the south.
While only partly tributary to Elko.
Jarbidge with its recent strikes Is sure
to contribute largely to the volume OF
business of Elko and Deeth during
the coming year, for all of the mach.
inery, fuel. and other heavy supplies
will be taken in from this side on ac-
county of the big saving in freight
rates. To ship goods from California
to Rogerson, the nearest railroad on
the north means an additional freight
charge for four hundred miles. Further
more, the grade is easier from Deeth.
while the road is but ten miles longer.
There will be great activity AT Jar.
bidge this year and midsummer will
find IL town of several thousand
people.
Bullion on the south is equally prom.

In operation, and the dozen loasers,
all of whom have shipping ore, will
greatly increase their output over last
year, and they will derive greater pro-
Tits proportionately, for much of the
cost of hauling and shipping will be
eliminated. The mines OF Bullion have
developed wonderfully during the last
year and the output this year will be
FAR greater than ever before.
Then there is the new camp of Di-
vide, which is rapidly developing into
