OIL INDICATIONS 111 HUM
IMPROVE AS DRILLS GO DOWN
Developments in ihe llllpah oilfield
during the last week have been of such
an encouraging nature as to bring re,
per.ted reference In the Kly district to
tlm article published In the Inst issue
of the News, ni;d many who ha we for

the courage to go Into llllpah and
there st\lr<- as only men of their type
are able to will noon reap a just |..
ward for their lnbor.
When the oil comes la uii lints will
lie off to those who did the work, but
tie News believes that now Is the time
lor the people of this community to
f-- lu w tlulr appreciation and assist in
every way those who arc making sutlv
effort to bring In oil. and thereby make
White Pine county one of the most
thriving centers in the country.
Such work rnrnot he accomplished

to sav tin hast, unfair to leave the

Men who have ninth n technical study

country where oil lias been found have
visited the llllpah tit Id and given it
their unfiakllfled endoisenient. Practical
driller* who have worked in other

With a view to getting llrst hand in
formation as to the most recent de
velopments. a representative of the
News inti rx towed those in a position to
know. At the office of the It’lpah
Pertoleum t'oinpany Mr Amendu said.
"The llllpah Petroleum well is now
down fit* feet tnd cased with eight
inch‘easing to SIS feet, which, in 11->
opinion, is below any posslhli wait i
strata that could « xist In a formation

The torn atlon in which we are now
werking *1 onld need no furtlier rasing
in order to rea« ti n depth from which
we will bring in oil in commerc'd
quantities.
'Since setting our casing we have

We have the tools, machinery an l

would think of lotting up for a minute

have accomplished the result for which
a.• httvi dllllg-ntly worked for five
nomine At tlfieen feet below the sur
face w e « noountered a formation which,
to ant man with experience In oilfields,
was exactly the same as that of every
other great fl Id In the west where
gushers hnvo been struck and fortunes
made over night.
“From that point down to our presi ul
depth, where we have encountered the
oil. w i have drilled through shaK*
sands and nsphollum beds Impregnated
with high-grade oil in their succession
• xnctly the same a* those In other
l rovsn field* of the country. I am not
< nly willing but tnxlous to take any
man to the ground and show him, if
he is willing to be shown. If be knows
tbe oil genie I am willing to gamble
ihat he Will agree with me that wc
will have our well flowing In a re
markably short space of time."
Many reports were circulated Thura
-la- and Friday as tc deveiopmi nts at
the IV l re lei. m w-a which Secretary
Amcndn denied. He said that the* statu
moi.t ma le r, gir ling tlie gas.s prcituK
carrying the taller out ot the hole was
false. If it ha l hern that heavy, sold
Atrienda, they would have had a gusher
that nothing could stop, lie further

K- Campbell, secretary Consolid.il
"1 Illlpah Oil Company said:
"Our well is now down 4.V* feet and
eased with ten-inch rasing all the way.
We are constantly drilling and drop
ping cur easing as we go. The hole I,
what I should call perfect. The dif
ferent formations that we pass ihrc*ugi.
are most promising and to those wlto
have had experience in oilfields they
appear identical with those of Sail
Cm * k In Wyoming, where some of the
great * st wells in tl" western country
have hern struck. We are satisfied
that we have tire oil at depth and it i.i
only a quertlon of going down to it
We me making rapid progress and it
Is our intention tc keep the diill con

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENTS
MODERN CIVILIZATION BAZAR
Y'»l have heard ut the Oriental Ilasar. I'erhups you" have seen it.
Everybody in the city or village with anything to sell takes his
wares to the bazar and cries for buy rs. The gardner with his
vegetables, the herder with his gouts, the old woman with a basket
of fowls, the rug dealer, the fruit grower with dates and figs. Then
is much plcturesquemss along with clamor, confusion, dirt and end
less wastage of time,
in our Aim rican cities, the advertisements in your newspapei
take the place of the ancient bazar. Whoever lias something to fa il
can tell you of ids goods, and where to find them directly. Whatever
you want to buy, you can read of it In advertisements, and go straight
to the place where it may be je<n. Clear nral truthful advertising
make it saf,. to order by t* iephoix and avoid leaving vour home if
all.
•'lake it a practice to read the advertisements. They are the great
bazar of modern civilization. They are yom source of information by
which wise buying js accomplished.
Advertising is the voice of Anuri'an business. .

CURRANT RANCHER
GETS THE NEW IDEA
Frank “Calloway. llit* prominent
rancher from the Currant Creek sec
tion. arrived in Ely last Friday after
ooi n. When asked by a News reporter
as to tin occasion of ills visit he said,
"Oil I .lust came in to spend my
money." "Can't you do that on Cur
rant Creek," asked the reporter, and
Mrs. Calloway replied, "A white man
oh n't. In older to get action on your
money ii the Puck water section you
hove to give it to nr. Indian to place
it lor jou."
Speaking of conditions generally Air.
Callaway said: “The ranchers and the
cattlemen are getting along fairly well.
It is true that money is tight but the
merchants do not setnt to realize that
rve are going through a period of re
adjustment and prices are on the de
cline throughout the country. At
U.ickwnter they are, in my op’nlon. Just
about 6u |>er cent higher than they
should be. “Cattle lias dropped. Yes
terday I bought a bunch of yearlings
for the same price that I paid for
'vianers less than two months ago. I
have plenty of hay and if my neighbor
cannot pay cash for it I will trade him
for tattle and perhaps next year I will
have twice ns many cattle ns I have
now i.nd will require twice as much
hay tc feed them
•’One tiling needed throughout the
southern section is a direct mail route
between Ely and Tonopah. Under
present conditions mail leaves Ely anil
goes first io Preston. Then another
line takes it from there to Currant and
so on to Arrow lo ad and Tonopah The
line from Ely to Tonopah embraces a
wide scope, where live people are in
terest'd. The mining sections of Arrow
head and Sllverton are rigid on the
line with the ranchers and we are en
titled to better mall service."
TIMELY TOPICS DISCUSSED
AT FARM BUREAU MEETING
At tin meeting held l>> the While
Pine county farm bureau in the court
house yesterday the general work ot
the organization was discussed and
those present showed a considerable in
terest in the bureau's activities.
It. Gallugher presid'd at the meet
ing and reports werr received from the
various officers showing that much
good hail been accomplished during the
10 rt year.
O. L. Chism, county agricultural
agt nt, outlined the course that had been
pursued and pointed out the difficulties
which had been encountered. He saici
that the work was new and In* found
at the outset when he attempted to in
terest the ranchers that they were in
no way familiar with the objects of the
■rganizution, and due to that fact in
Iliad to travel over tile intire country
ami explain matters in the different
localities. Once the work is under
stood. said Mr. Chism, the rancher
readily sees the great benefit* that no
erne to him through it
Among the accomplishment* during
the last year ho pointed out that a
boys' and girl*' club had been organ
ized at Lund and Preston with fourteen
members. Through the aid of the
bureau a loan was secured fiom an
agricultural magazine in the sum of
$25 for each member. With tills money
fourteen thoroughbred pigs were pur
chased ir California, all from champion
stock, ai d these an expected to ar
rive In the near future. The membeis
of the club Will thereby each own a
pig and will no doubt go into the busi
ness of raising thoroughbreds In the
White IMvt r section In order to en
courage tiff work the breeder in l ullf
orr.ia made a price fnr below that us
unlly obtained and Mr. Cliisin said the
pigs purchased were reasonably worth
$35 to $100 each.
Vt McGill cholera looks out :n on.
drove of pig* and this was quickly
tak. n ufi bf the bureau, with the re
sult that a veterinarian from the state
university was secured and came to
McGill, where lie vaccinated fifty-seven
hogs and a.iv.d them, tin a like o<
caslon about a year ago an entire
drove of pigs was lost at Kutii as well
as another at McGill
During the coming year an Inspec
tion will be made by a state represen
tative of all dairy cattle and where
ever two or more milch cows are
kept the owners will he oblig'd to nuh
init them for Inspection when called
upon. This is to prevent th. spread of
tuberculosis In cattle and the woi k
will be done w illiout any expense to
the l.vestock owners.
Mr. Chism said that lie hud interest
ed some men of high financial standing
in California to such an extent that
they had made two visits here to look
ovtr land with a view to taking it up
under the Pittman act. The sain'
puiti.s hi.v> taken up laud in tin west
ern part of the state nnd the bureau
agent hopes to have them do likewise
in White Pine county. If successful it
will mean chat about 20.1)00 acres of
'.ard will be taken up, on which wells
will be sunk and water pumped for ir
i igation purposes.
At Cherry Creek the matter of
poisoning squirrels and blackbirds was
taken up with considerable success.
During the coining yrar the poisoning
of ral its In the White river section will
be taken up and it is believed that
much will be saved to the rancher by
tilt' destruction of rodents.
Mr. Gallagher said tlinl when tuft
law enacted under which tin buieau
was established the legislature did not
make any appropriation, and due to
thin fact tin- money raised by taxation
which is nt tl e rate of one mill, was
not available as early as desired. The
matter has been taken up with both
tlie outgoing and the incoming rounty
commissioners nnd at the meeting to
In. held tomorrow pioper arrangements
will bo made s i that upon the expend!•
line of tlie mor.v raised in the county
the bureau will lie able to gt t a like
sum from the state. This amounts to'
*1.500.
At tiie state convention, which will
he held in Iteno on January 20, 1921.
the matter of requesting tlie legisla
ture. which will then be in session, to
make a proper appropriation for the
work will be given attention.

Assessment Work
Postponed to July 1
Word received from Washington yes
terday is i i the effect that the senate
mines and mining committee lias unan
imously decided t :> report the sub
stitute ldll granting to owners of un
patented mining claims an extension
of time to July!, 1921, in which to do
1 itc annual asscssnunt work for the
year 192).
The commit tee's indorsement of this
measure is prictballv equivalent to Its
enactment into law. This measure will
mean much to the prospector* of Nc
vada, as there are a large number of
claims in the stute on which the work
for this year has not yet been done,
and as winter has overtaken the |
miners it would be impossible to chi
the assesment work before January 1.1

time do something for the community,
which must necessarily progress if he
is personally going to succeed.
Every city In the world has such an
organization and without one no city
will ever progress as it should. Never
does a day go by that there is not work
for a commercial club to do. The ranch
er nnd the cattleman, as well as the
miner, the merchant and the profes
sional man. all have an interest in
common. Tiny need legislation for the
proper protection of their business
They need action in order ttiat business
may not be diverted from their door*,
nnd they cannot get it single-handed
or alone. Only by cooperation and con
ccrted effort can such tilings as do most
good l>e brought ibout.
Clut t cf a s'lni'ur nature have been
started In the past but later allowed to
languish. Tills was due to the fast
that ; U those Interested did not put
their si milder* la the wheel, but as
matters have front 'Into to time con
fronted riie citizens tne need of such
an organization has been ail the inor<
keenly felt. Frequently lias one set or
men interested along n given line
found it necessary to call meetings be
tween themselves nnd appoint commit
ites to go to other cities In order to
gel wlmt they are Justly entitled to.
In tin future let tills be made unnec
essary. When the best interests of the
city are assailed from outside points
the Ely Commercial Club will be on
the Ji b. When injure lias been worked
is not the proper time for action, bul
there should lie some nuans of taking
tine by the forelock.
When legislation, l -r c xarr.'.ile, is
suggested which may work to the ad
vantage of other sections and against
home industry single-handed efforts to
prevent it never accomplish any real
good, hut when the whole community,
represented by one active body, moves
against the plan It Cun usually be de
fen ted.
All will remember the bitter contro
vony that arose a few years ago when
certain men in Silt I-ukc City attempt
od to divert, travel from the l.incoln
high way. which wou'd mean taking
thousands of dollars' worth of bus'nes
from the merchants of this district. At
that time n committee was organists!
and the efforts of those behind the ul
terior movement were defeated. This,
however, took time and before matters
were fli ally adjusted considerable
business was J» si. .VII these matters
a commercial club will take care of
r>oost tor your lioun town and you
boost yourself, .loin the organization
which Warn- to boots for you. nnd do
your part la the work.
