ing. to secure equality i in taxation, and
“there is every prospect that “the unjast 7
#ystein which has made it profitable :olevying -apjausttaxes upon all improvements, will be-contiaued for two years
“at least. While these evils can on ly
be reached throagh the. Legislature,
there are some others connected with
dicious action of county officers who
have the nerve. A carefal examination
of the Controller's Report, will show
that the mising counties are paying a
much larger amount of State taxes hab
they ought to pay, and that Nevada
pays a larger excess of State over coun‘ty taxes than any other county. This
matter shoald be looked to carefaliy,
sod the system of assessment ae
/
more than our proportion of taxation.
It is evident that nothing will be done
to secure such a resalt bythe Legislature. The time for the annual levy of
taxes for the present year is near at
hand, and the revenue officers will soon
be at work. Sincethe matter has passed
so long without consideration, it would
be better to‘et it go for this term, as
hasty action might result in more injury than good. The people will therefore do better as matters now stand.
than if the present Legislature, which .
lias ‘shown its incapability to deal with
any question of general public interest,
should undertake to remedy the evils.
It’ will, under all the circumstances, be .
iar better to rely upon the judgment of
local officers to remedy, as far as possi. ble; the eviis-which-have come into
practice, and leave them which exist in
the system until we have a Legisletions.
_._. ‘She Strike at Randolph Fiat.
A Big Steal.
The Aseembiy:bas passed to emgrosebym large Fote, @ bill @omating
640 seres of Iand'in Marin and 20 in
"Gan Francisto froth the salt’ miaieh
and. tide lands to the North Pacific
. railroad. The Aa, spebking of the
} measure; says: “Fhe passage ef sachet
bill as this, taking from Marin and San
Francisco these valuable slices of land, .
‘would-be a real misfortune—crippling
the fatute developments of the State
and giving te selfish men the property
which they covet. It is notorious that
the whele thing has no existence, except on peper, and a paper transfer of
the stock; with a cbange of name, will
lezve the State with no security whatever for what it demands of the corporation. The méasure has lost but little
of its offepsiveness by amendment; it
is still most unsavory.”
Tue Reporter ro Wednesday last has
an afticle in réference to 2 cotemporary,
beaded “A Mendacious Sheet.” The
Reporter has well earned ‘that sppelle . (
tion and will always be so regarded
gntil it takes back itsslanderous charges
made against the Hon. T. B. Mc¥Farland, which we have proved to be false
in every particular. Be honest, for
once, Mr. Reporter, and acknowledge
that. you gave birth to a contemptible
falsehood, or talk no more about “mendacious sheets.”
A “Bunssr” Oprrxiox. — The Bee
says: “The Reporter was an advocate
of the passage of the Hall Garrison
bill, bat now that the Governor has
vetoed it we have this from that journal:
‘Although we were originally, and
still are, of the opinion tbat Hail and
Garrison should be compensated to the’
full amount of the loss actually sus
tained by them, we confess that, from
the beginning, we have been in doubt
as to whether the State, the General
Government, or the county of Tulare
should be required to make the
amount of losses sustained by uall and
Garrison.’
And that’s from a party leader, from
an “organ” whose editor is a lawyer!
What lots of milk and water there is in
this world—particulariy water.
Webster & Co., composed of the fl
-lowieg persons, E. C._ Webster, D. P.
Holbrook, E.W. Heywood, Cariyoo-.
brothers and C. Harrington, who have
been busy prospecting for a gravel lead,
on Banker Hill, near Randolph Fiat,
for some time past, says the Grass Vailey National, bave succeeded in striking the lead after a large expenditure
of money end labor. Last season they
run an incline tunnel into the hill to
the depth of 250 feet, but they were
not low enough, so they commenced
sinking a shaft, the incline being used
26 a Grain tannel, The shaft wassunkto the depth of 110 feet when a pan of
gravel was prospected yesterday, and
about $80 was realized—one piece of
the gold being worth $7. The lucky
company making this strike own 1,200
feet. Griffin & Co. own the adjoining
ground on the north, claiming 3,000
. feet. Grant & Co., MeBSorley & Co., and
. “several other companies are also interested in ground on the same hill. No
extensive work has been done on the
claims on Bunker Hill for several years.
Several cuts were ran on the side of
the bill, bat they were never ron in
deep enough to strike the bed of gravel
which has at last been found. This
strike will induce all the companies on
the hill to immediately commence work,
and will infuse new life into mining interests in this vicinity.

OLe BULL AND THE BuIND.—From
the Chronicle we learn that on Sunday
last Ole Bull visited the Deaf and Dumb
and Blind Asylum, near Oakland,
taking with him at bis own suggestion,
his violin. After he had inspected the
building, the children’ were gathered
together in the chapel, when the macstro performed some-of bis most delightfal solos for their edification. Such as
could hear him were delighted. The
blind are almost always fond of music,
and at the Asylum there are several of
the inmates who perform upon the violin. These were especially pleased at
having the opportunity of hearing the
great violinix. One of the deaf mutes,
on being asked if he knew anything
concerning Ole Bull, walked to the
blackboard and promptly wrote out a
biographical sketch of the masical
guest. In the midst of the selfishness
which characterizes the artists who
visit our shores, it is pleasing to note
one who remembers the unfortunates
and is willing to entertain them.
A Goop AMENDMENT.—Biggs, of
Butte, offers to have the State Constitution so amended that the laws need
not be printed in Spanish, nor in any
language save English. That is right
—we have outgrown the necessity of
printing in Spanish, at let us stop
that leak.

and found the results nearly the same.
