This year the report shows $46O2 worth.
I' reduction of threoetghths of I mlii was

The consolidated ta , statement compIIei
, tt tim nulitor's ofilco shows that. the Im-
proveil lands In the state now amount to
17,767,017 acres , or almost 2,000,000 less than
inst year. This discrepancy Is accounted
for by ( lie fact that every year sonic of the
counties report the Improved and unimproved -
proved lands together , while in other coun-
tics there Is a difference of opinion as to
whether land that Is simply tinder tenco Is
improved land and there Is a change of
acreage every year nccordlng to the Ideas
of the assessors. The unImproved land thIs
year nmounts to 13,351,133 acres , as coni-
pared with il,178,717 for 'ast ' year , makIng
th total of both Improved nud unimproved
for this year 31,108,180 acres , an increase
of 389,656 over the flguros of last year. These
figures houiil bo further Increased , as some
of the counties huve not reported the lands
that have been deeded by time government
to individuals wIthin the Inst twelve months
and corrections are beIng tinIly made In the
tahuiatcd statement as fast as supplemental
reports are received from the counties.

proved lands were found by time assessors.
Douglas county has 1O,2S acres at an average -
age irico of $67.15 per acre. being over five

$4.2. tlox Butte comes lowest with an

curious to notice time slump In the values of

and jewelry , $900 ; moneys of banks and
brokers , $10,365 ; credits of banks and bro. .
kers , $10,683 ; merchandise on hand , $205-
100 ; mnommey other thami banhs nail brokers ,
$8,501 ? iii regard to the last named Item ,
it might ho mentioned that the bank reports -
ports made last May simOV'Ol ( that. there was
on deposit In thin banks of Lancaster county
$2,530,696 , ommly $8,501 of which was found
by the assessors , The showimmg for Dobglas

having found only $28,624 In deposits , while
