Tax Commission Acts

The horizontal raise Of l8 per cent
in the valuation of privately owned
lands, which was adopted by the
state board of equalization was
turned down by the state tax com
mission, which has been in session
at Carson since last Monday.
By vote Of 7 to 2 the horizontal
raise was defeated at meeting of the
state tax commission Saturday.
The blanket increase on all coun-
try Improvements also was knocked
out on the same ballot Commiss-
toner's Phil ellison and J. F Shaugh-
messy voted to sustain the action taxi
EN- by the board OF equalization, but
were outnumbered by Governor Boyle
and Commissioners Reinhart, Lock
man, McGill and Rodgers
The Carson News says that the
action was taken, however, with the
understanding that the representatives
Of the big land and stock interests
that had lodged protest against the
horizontal increase cooperate with
the tax commission and organizations
and representatives of other lead
ing industries and interests OF the
state in sharing expense and placing
assessors in the field for the purpose
of taxation. Messrs. McGill and
Rogers, who had been delegated by
the tax commission to interview the
parties who made the proposal and
ascertain just what support would be
given, secured a written and signed
promise and agreement that was sat
isfying to the commission. This docu
ment was exhibited to the members
and made a part OF the records of
the tax commission.

Are you i'll Is often answered "Ohl

matter Of little consequence, but peo-
pie are beginning to learn that a com

The tremendous demand for oil,
the unprecedented era of prospect
ing for petrfteum deposits that has
resulted, and the activities of 10
Gators. eapit4ii5ts and even govern
ments in developing new oil fields
Throughout the world are attracting
attention to the oil fields of Nevada,
where all genuine indications exist,
1erington. fallon, Fish Lake Valley,
Currant CreeiS, Sand Springs, Oil Ba-
sin, Coaldals and other portions Of
the state affDeing prospeeted. ~s
The proving up of oil in the state
OF Nevada will do more to attract
the attention Of the world to its
mineral showings than any other dis
covery, though the demand for its
silver product is rapidly becoming
an obsession with the financiers of
the world. There is evry reason to
believe, in the view of many promin-
ent oil men and geologists who have
been sent into the Nevada prospect
ing fields, that Nevada has just as
good showings as were indicated at
Bakersfield, Coalinga, and other
points in California, at the Wyoming
fields, and at the more recently de-
veloped oil pools in Texas and the
middle west Ample money is being
furnished for developmnet of the act
i've corporations, and work is going
forward, under the stimulus Of the in
creasing demand for oil, at several OF
the located fields Of Nevada.

Asks For Rates

J. F. Shaunnessy, of the Nevada
public service commission, will
leave for San Francisco, probably
Sunday evening, for the purpose of
appearing before the district freight
traffic committee of the U. S. rail-
road administration with regard to
ore rates from Plumas county, Cal
ltornia, to the Wabuska smelter.
The outcome is exceedingly impor-
tant, as if favorable rates are
granted, the smelter will be en-
larged and put in shape for the
treatment of custom ores. If fav-
orabe rates are granted the smelter
will be enlarged and put in shape
for the treatment of custom ores.
If this is done many low grade
mines in this state can be worked
to advantage, which is impossible
under the present conditions wuen
ores must be shipped to Salt Lake
or other points equally distant. -

Marietta District

Considerable attention IS now be-
ing paid 70 the old-new mining camp
OF Marietta, situated near Nina and
Gandelaria Nevada. In the early Sos
large shipments of silver ore were
made by mule team to the nearest
railroad at Nadsworth, a distance
OF 200 miles. From the Black Hawk
claim one mule team load netted the
owners $4,000.
Today, on account OF the high
price OF silver, the owners Of several
arge groups OF claims in the Marietta
district are vigorously digging to pro
duce more silver.
The Merced group of claims, recent
ty taken over by San Francisco cap
ltaists, is being stocked with supplies
SO as to do extensive work this
winter. Manager E. B. Sheppard
has crew of men erecting an office,
boarding house, and bunk house on
the property. As soon as these build
ing8 are completed the work on the
silver deposits will commence.
Captain Whiting and associates OF
the Black Mountain Silver Mining
company have taken over Abe Wolfes
holdings and are sinking a shafi on
a threefoot ledge that runs from S100
to $500 in silver per ton. AIr Whit
ing recently returned from Reno with
a three-ton truck to be used in haul
ing ore to the railroad and bring sup
pies to the mine
4 group of five claims known as
the Rockies adjacent TO the Endow-
ment Mines company and owned by
the Miller brothers, in doing the To-
cation work discovered two .eef OF
Of highgrade ore that runs away up in
the hundreds They intend to sink
on the ledge at an early date
The Venture group is also owned
by the Miller brothers. This group
consists Of three claims lying east Of
the Silver Group. Judging from the
large size Of the ga1ena ore pile the
company IS not lcsing much time in
getting out the highgrade This prop
erty has produced in the neighbor-
hood OF S3o,o00
Some twelve years ago Mr.. A. a.
Bass discovered the hex mine, To-
Gated about six miles southwest of
Marietta. The production from this
mine is estimated at $4,000. Another
shipment on the dump is valued at
$500 a ton in silver. The ore comes
from the 400-foot tunnel
John Ruddy, the well known ranch
man from Marietta is negotiating with
Tonopah concern for five-sta1np
quartz mill which he Intends to erect
on his Golden Arie mine. Hall mile
north of Marietta there is an abun-
dance of $40 free milling ore on the
dump.
James Plant, who had lease and
bond on the Lucky Boy mine at Haw-
thorne, twelve years ago, is now op-
Grating the Foster mine, northeast
from Marietta. Mr.. Charles Dodge
is associated with Mr.. Plant in this
venture. They report that everything
IS moving ahead in a workmanlike
manner at the mine, on which they
discovered ledge 60 feet wide with
fair grade ore, with several streaks
of highgrade galena running through
the ledge.

increasing the industrial productive ness of the nation. No result should be more satisfactory to the German people.
 But the first condition of any such recuperation would appear to be that Germany should recognize the facts of the present state of the world, which she has been mainly instru- mental in creating, and realize that she cannot escape unscathed. The share which she is being called upon to bear of the enormous calamity that has befallen the world has been ap- port1oned by the victorious powers. not to her deserts, but solely to her ability to bear it.
 All the nations of Europe are suf- fering from losses and are bearing and will continue to bear burdens winch are almost more than they can carry. These burdens and losses have been forced upon them by the aggression of Germany. It is right that Germany, which is responsible for the origin of these calamities should make them good to the utmost of her capacity. Hardship will arise not from the conditions of peace but from the acts of those who provoked and prolonged the war. These who were responsible for the war cannot escape it's respOnsi bilities.'
