THE MONTE RANCH.
Industry and Thrift Has Made
The Desert Blossom Like
the Rose.

A DISPATCH reporter had the plea
sure this week Of visiting the ranch Of
John Monte a mile to the west Of
Wadsworth on the Truckee river. But
few years ago that spot was wild land
with no appearance of inviting the time
and trouble OF man to make il Of
beauty and source OF profit Mr.
Monte, however, took hold Of it. and
his industry knowledge Of farming. and
general thrift. has in few years given
him one OF the best pieces of farm
property in Washoe county. If not in
the State Of Nevada.
Every inch and acre of land that he
has is well under ditch with no great
trouble to irrigate. At tbe present
time one hundred acres under cutiva-
ton takes his time with the exception
Of the winter months and the odd
hours he can steal. Walking over his
fields we were impressed with the A
condition of fumes and bitches. The
alfalfa is already making green but the
water will not be turned on for month.
Mr. Monte has laid the foundation
for splendid orchard with large var
iety Of fruits. This thing in itself will
appeal to the thought Of interested
men.
Mr.. Monte is to be congratulated ON
| the success he has made OF his ranch.
Not onlyis it profitable but the b@auti-
ful Truckee flows through it adding to
its beauty and furnishing good sport in
angling at all seasons. He has nice
home, surrounded with all the comforts
with many Of the Injuries at com
mand.

Prof. Weld, the leading authority on
earth formation and particularly on
the field Of OIL and who resides in
Pennsylvania, has been making tour
Of the State in the interest Of science.
In the course OF an interview Prof
Weld says:
My first visit was in the Los An
pees field. This field is wonderful in
many respects. but it is my opinion that
the field, OF many Of the wells are be-
coming exhausted The oil is fuel
oil.
"Mynext visit was at Fullerton That
is decidedly the best field in the south
ern portion Of the State. and it is my
opinion that large quantities OF oil will
be produced from this section. This
oil is also fuel oil.
From Fullerton went to Ventura
county. | am of the opinion that
much oil territory remains to be de-
qeloped here that will pay capital
handsomely. The oil is also fuel
oil. but Old Ocean is getting much of

the most peculiar territory 4 have ever
visited. but in quantity | am not as

shile some wells will be good pro-
ducers, the field as whole is not in
giting. At one place found the finest
lubricant have ever seen.
From Kern went to Kings county.
This is county Of beautiful promise.
In the Kragenhagen district found
some drilers from Pennsylvania and
West Virginia who have great faith in
the future Of the county, ard | believe
they are right in their views.
From Kings county | went to Fresno
county, which has already become ia
nous as great oil county. A num-
Der Of gushers are being developed.
and IT is my opinion that the best wells
have not yet been drilled. But re-
member that sooner or later the gush-
ers will cease gushing. do not say
that they will stop producing for some
time to CONS, but they are not holding
up to the production Of month ago.

have samples Of all the oil produced
in the state and thorough tests will be
made and the results announced.
Rest assured that if It is found that
refining pays. the Standard people will
be in the field to control the product,
and they will do 1t. too.
The Dos Palos people will gladly
show any and all prospective investors
over their territory.
Mr.. Christian, president Of the com
pany has teams at Dos Palos and will
take pleasure in showing the property.
The company will take you from
Dos Palos absolutely free of charge.
The trip over all the lands Of the
company will require three days time
from Dos Palos.
The party from here who have just
returned from this trip pronounce it the
event Of their lives

ITALY MAY GIVE WAY

In Triple Alliance.
KRUGER AT MARsEILLES

1t Is Stated That He VIII Land There.
His Plans For the Future Unknown
Large Crowd Will Welcome Him.
Other Foreign News and Gossip.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 19.-One of the
most cherished ideas of the pan. Slavic
publicists is to detach Italy from the
triple alliance, and a writer in The
Rossya, one of the newer of the st. Pc
tersburg journals, proposes to accom-
plish this and TO overcome the influence
of Austria in the Balkans at one stroke.
He suggests that Russia shah put Italy
in the way of securing foothold of, or
perhaps even dominant influence in AL
bania. The editor of The Rossya finds
this idea has its disadvantages. The
plan, he thinks, however, might be
made acceptable if Russia had to deal
with one Italy only-the quirinal and
political Italy. But there is another
Italy to be reckoned with-the vatican
and Catholic Italy, the ancient enemies
of the orthodox Greek church.
10 substitute Italy for Austria IN the
direction Of Balkan affairs would be, he
thinks, like the change of King Lear's
daughters-Regan for Coneril.
The Rossya thinks 1t sees indications
of possible reconstruction of the triple
alliance, with England in the place. of
Austria It notes evidences of GOODNESS
between the courts of Rome and Vienna
and attaches great significance to the
forthcoming visit of the young king Of
Italy to England. Among other coun-
tries the result of it all may be the
transformation of the Anglo German
agreements regarding China and Africa
into formal alliance, into which Italy
will be taken on account of her position
in the Mediterranean. AS Austria will
be isolated, the natural result would be
that Russia would have much easier
