CITY COUNCIL. MEETS;
NEW MARSHAL NAMED

The city council met last Tuesday
and aside from the usual amount Of
routine business several matters
came up of general public interest.
The position of city marshal, oc-
cupied by John Burnham, was de-
clared vacant and Robert Lee was
named as temporary officer for the
position.
Almost Immediately Mayor Ted
ford declared that there must be q
moral cleanup In this city, and that
the local laws must be enforced. At
tention was called to the conditions
of several places where sporting wo-
men have been frequenting. Instruc-
tions were given to make a cleanup
and this has been done. The mayor
invites people with complaints or
suggestions to appear before the
board sessions and let their COM
plants or wants be known.
For Cleaner Town
The council designated cleanup
week from April to IL, and 1t was
made clear that residents of the city
were expected to clean up their prem
ises and IL II was not done the city
would have the matter attended to
and assess the expense against the
property, as provided by law. 1t was
stated that in the spring time when
heavy winds are blowing the fire
hazard is very great where old weed
patches are permitted to remain. Last
year the city had several Indians IN
jail and they were set to work clean
ing up weed patches so that SONS
property owners reap the benefit, but
that might not occur this season.
Plans have been made for putting
in a corrugated iron culvert where
the irrigation ditch crosses Taylor
street, south of center street. In front
of the Verplank property. This Will
be done in the near future.

Gold Basin Mines
Under Development

Activities in a mining way con-
tinue to be attractive to those in
terested in the Goldbasin and other
sections near this county.
Work the past week at Goldbasin
las shown that mill values exist In a
humber of properties and those who
have returned during the past week
state that the development will un-
doubtedly lead to the erection of a
custom mill to handle the ores now
available and which at any moment
may become of sensational value.
During the period when storms
have not interfered considerable new
work has been noted. On the Gold
basin Mining, Milling & Development
ground two feet of ore has been
opened that gave a value Of S22 per
ton. This recent discovery was made
u trench and was taken across the
developed or exposed vein. Samples
o. ore taken from this ground have
shown values as high as 800 per
ton. This is believed to be oner of
the milling properties in the district.
The property owned by Knight,
Atkinson and Dodge is to have more
intensive work and it is the belief
! that this should be among the mill
ing properties of the camp. Samples
taken from a high grade streak are
Icing saved and a test shipment Is
TO be sent out in order to see what
grade will allow a margin of profit
to the mine owners of the camp.
Riddle & Mulcoy, who are operat-
ing a lease on the Wilson ground
seem TO have one of the best hold
ings in the camp and their work is
Being watched by others in the dis
triet 1t is possible that through their
efforts that a combination shaft will
be sunk on this property in an en-
deaYor to see what depth will pro-
duce. The Riddle shaft is now down
SO feet and 1t will require something
nore than a windlass to carry the
work much deeper.
New finds have been reported dur
ing the week but owing to lack of
real development work, and most of
the prospeetors being short of funds,
nothing sensational has developed.
One mining man recently from the
camp has stated that the section will
undoubtedly make milling proposi-
ton but that money is now needed
to carry out the development that Is
under way. 1t has been a case oil
poor men doing the work to date and
should the exercise of an option by
one of the Tonopah companies ma
terialize undoubtedly Goldbasin will
be among the bullion producers be-
fore fall.

Drumm, Moody, Pray
Win Election On
Water Board

The water board election of Tues
day resulted In one of the closest
and most spirited contests that has
taken place In many seasons on this
project. The several questions that
have come up and been threshed out
during the past year resulted In the
several candidates and the friends
rustling votes, resembling more a
state election than that of water
board.
The totals show that In each con-
test that the results are close. The
Fernley district went for McCulloch
but his bench lead was overcome by
the lowlands, while Drumm and
Moody both suffered slashing on
the bench and Fernley districts only
to make them up on the main prof.

INCOME OF irish.
FREE STATE
DROPS
Deficit Due to Heavy Falling
OFF Of Excise and Land
Receipts
By DANIEL O'CONNELL,

* g
DUBLIN. Nov. 14Frea State
revenue returns for the first half
Of the current fiscal year reveal
anything but a flourishing state
of affairs. The total revenue for
the six months period was approx
mately f12.5OO,OOO, as compared
with FITS ,OO0.0 for the CORE
spending period Of last year.
Virtually the entire deficit was
due to a heavy falling off in excise
receipts and land-purchase annIli-
ties. Excise taxes yielded 1856.
900, against f5. 1855. 900 last year,
while land.purchase annuities fell
from f1,3OO,O45. in 1923. to f4OI,.
2I9 this year.
On the other hand, expenditures
have been considerably reduced.
Last year they. reached nearly
FIT SOC. 900 for the first half Of tho
year. This year they are less than
Flo 900 900.
Nevertheless, the decline in rev.
enue is disturbing. especially since
the receipts from income tax show
an increase Of 100000 over last
years figures.
Trade returns for the past few
months have likewise been any
thing but satisfactory.
