This condition, according to an inn

the lowest old workings in that part
OF the district. To my mind it gives
unmistakable evidence that Eureka
is going to be as great. if not greater

workings.

told me that the Catlin shaft is to be

as being of great Importance and un-

for with good ore in quantity in vir-
gin ground opened at that depth, Eu-
reka will soon regain her former
high standing as a great producer.

serious and very profitable business
for long period of years. 1t is my
opinion that the people of Eureka

a sound basis. After all, The proof
of the pudding is in the eating To

Asked by the SENTINEL to give his
views regarding the future of the

1878 when there were fully 10000
people in the camp. Everything was

Carson Appeal: Following a dis

ing and Morton of Curchill. visited
that section Thursday for the pur-
pose of investigation.
Friday their report was received.

Pohe. tax expert of the commission.
was read before the full board.
By way Of illustration the report
stated that instead of taking up the
assessment. of individual properties
anumber were grouped and the find
ings arrived at as a total. On 10
pieces of property, it was stated. the
deed value was placed at $2l6.000;
the assessed valuation as shown by
the assessors books, was $84. 900. In
other words. the properties were as
sessed at only 1884 per cent of their
deed value.
In another instance cited. % mort
cages were examined in order to ar
rive at the value of the property. Ac-
cording to the mortgages, the
amount OF money loaned on the prop
erty was S303. $40: the same proper
" was assessed at $140, ,804, or 46 per
cent Of the assessed value. But it
was stated. according to Mr.. Pohe's
nndings, that in conversation with
the money lenders he learned that
money was not loaned on mortgages
beyond SO per cent of the property's
appraised value. which in the cases
investigated would mean that their
real value was not les than $606. $50,
and that the assessed value therefore
would only be % per cent of that
amount.
lhe board was considering the mat
Ter when the Appeal went to press
ana there seemed to be a very decid-
60 opinion among the members that
douglas County's rate should be ma
terially increased.

COOD|NG PLAYS
HERESATURDAY
College Of Idaho Athletes Are
Ready to- Stage Initial
Football Game.

Arrangements were concluded
Thursday afternoon to bring the
Gooding college football team here
Saturday for the initial game on the
local grounds to. be played against
the hurley aggregation from the Col
lege of Idaho being tutored by Anse
Cornell. The visitors have had little
more early season work to base fore
casts of their strength upon than has
the local team. Last week, however,
the handed the Wendell high school a
drubbing and are looked upon as being
worthy competitors for the local grid
iron artists.
Cornell has been putting his men
through the PAGES since the scrimmage
of last week end between the first and
second teams which did so much to
show up the strength and weaknesses
of the men. Scrimmage since that
time has not been generally resorted
to, Coach Cornell devoting most of his
time to perfecting signal work and
other of the finer points to make the
team perform smoothly.
Lack Of definite arrangements has.
until the present, somewhat dampened
the spirit of the team making it hard
to get the men to report for ~ractice
regularly.
Saturdays game will be staged on
the Recreation park field and will
begin promptly at 8 p. m. The local
lineup will probably be as follows
Walsh. center; lockwood and Hewett,
guards; Capt. Johnson and Fouch,
tackles; John Walsh and Witteborg,
ends; Hartkopf, quarter, and Dilley,
Lowell and Hawkes. as the remainder
of the backfield. Gardner, who has
been playing quarter regularly until
the past week, is suffering from in
juries and Jim Cook, fullback, has a
sprained ankle. Substitutions are ex-
pceted to be freely made by Coach
Cornell to give some likely second
team men tryiut.

CITY HAS new
BUILDING ERA
TOTAL PERMITS COVER HALF
MILLION MARK WITH AC-
TIVITY UNDATED.

Summaries of the building activity
in Caldwell during the past nine
months comniled by Orel Sovereign,
building inspector, indicate that total
of l07 residences have been construct
ed or are now under way in Caldwell
during that time. That these build
ings were erected to form permanent
residences for many years to come is
attested by the fact that the average
value of the structures is almost $300li.
Saturday, permits crossed the half
million mark, so far as value is con-
cerned. In the past 80 days permits
have been issued calling for an in
vestment of about $4,000 and indi-
cations point to continuation OF this
rate of activity until late in the fall
Contractors are optimistic regard
ing the building out look here for
next. While actual construction un-
der full steam did not get under way
until rather late this year. the demand
for houses and business blocks at
present insures an early resumption
of the activity next spring. In spite
-of the large number of buildings
which have been constructed. the de-
mahd seems just as far ahead of the
supply as it did last spring before
the building era was well under way.
Prospects are rosy for continue
ton ofsthe building activity until late
this winter, if it is not pushed during
the entire winter months. A number
of undertakings are well under way
and which will probably pass into the
hands of contractors in the near flu
ture. In spite of the high cost Of
labor and lumber, the number of resi-
dences under construction seems to
be increasing rather than diminishing
and the demand is still far in excess
of the supply.
