HATTABAVGH WELL PLEASED
State Examiner Files Report of
Results of ExoLrnination of
Owyhee County
I C Hattabaugh, State Examiner, who
officially examined the books and
counts of the various county ofliicers
charged with the collection and disburse
ment of public funds, has filed his report
with the Clerk of the Board of County
Commissioners for the information of the
Board.
ac
The report contains a number of rec
ommendations arid suggestions to the
Board, and also contains a detailed
statement of all funds received and dis
i Cursed by the various county officials
since the date of the last examination
on
September 22nd, 1910, as made by Mr.
O. D. Goaslind, Mr. IlRttabaugti's prede
cessor in the office of State Insurance
Commissioner and State Examiner.
The State Examiner reports that he
found the records of the county, generally,
in good shape, the offiice of the Clerk of
the District Court, Auditor and Recorder
being in excellent condition, the records
and methods employed therein being
modern, systematic and up to date.
The books of Miss Cavaney, County
Treasurer, were found to be well kept,
and consist of a complete, clean and
comprehensive set of records, the cash
hand being properly accounted for and
regularily deposited in banka where the
same is fully secured,
Hattabaugh recommends that
some action be taken by the Board to
enforce the collection of taxes on personal
property, as he finds that the county is
losing a large sum of money annually by
reason of the failure of the Tax Collector
to collect the tax on this character of
property after the same has been assessed,
and suggests that the Board confer with
the Prosecuting Attorney in order that
^ ie c0 " ec tion of these taxes may be
a8aure< l
In conclusion, the Examiner expresses
i his thanks to all of the county officials
i for uniform courtesies extended him
during the time employed in making his
examination, and calls the attention ol
the Board of County Commissioners to
the fact that they are the executive head
of the county, and that it is their duty
to see that the affairs of the county
properly attended to, and that each county
otfieial properly discharges the duties of
his office.

Levta K Commissioners Decli
to Levy
Latha county is ti ignore the mandate
of the supreme court of Idaho in the
matter of fixing levy for school purposes.
The statutes provided that every
board of county commissioners in Idaho
must levy for general school purposes
not less than 5 mills and not more than
10 mills.
The county commissioners of Latah
have fixed the levy at three mills.
It is claimed by attorneys that the
commissioners are guilty of malfeasance
in office since they refuse to comply
with a mandate of the supreme court.

The Banner
The writer made a trip to the mill
Mondav and found the place buzzing
with activity,
ready to make about a ten-day run, re
during about 150 tons of ore. Had the
recent had weather not interfered,
much larger amount would have been
ready.
Looking over the mill and equipment
of the Banner, one is struck with the
solidity of the structure and convenience
of handling the product. The electrical
equipment Î8 particularly good, and cost
in the neighborhood of $10,000, including
the motors, switchboard and lightning
arrester installation.
The work in the mine itBelf has
been brought to a stvge where all

Silver City M. <Zl M. Co.
Work on the property of the Silver
City M. & M. Co. iB going on very satis
factorily. The main tunnel is now in
about 800 feet and it is expected that
the American Eagle vein will be cut any
day now, at about 400 feet depth. The
old workings on that vein were ail sur
face and allowed good values in gold.
About 600 feet further in the
ledge of the company will be reached,
the Crown Point. Only one shift is
now at work, with machines, but an
other shift will be used early in the
year.
Tiie Crown Point claim is situated
about 800 feet above Silver City,
Florida Mountain. The vein, probably
a continuation of the Pluto, consists of
three feet of altered rhvolite containing
stringers of ore. The values are almost
exclusively of gold.
C. I. Cook is superintendent of the
workings.

A Rarebit Dream
[This spasm was contributed by one of our reod

A correspondent of the "Nugget" last
week attended a birthday party given in
honor of one of Silver City's gallant
young citizens and there for the first
time enjoyed that delicacy known
"rarebit."

At first he was reluctant to
partake of it, remembering the cartoons
of "The Rarebit Fiend,

for an hour from "Strong Characters
Of History And Their Deeds" in order
to give his digestive apparatus oppor

before retiring. When at last after rol
