ELKOlTES AFTER OIL.

Indications Good and n California
Company soon to Begin Sinking.
The last issue OF the Wells Herald
has a lengthy article in regard to the
coal and oil prospects OF Elko county,
which have caused such an excite
ment that every acre Of ground on the
south side of the river from White
Sulphur Springs to the old Burner
Pass is staked out and located for oil
and coal.
The Herald says that a California
company, represented by &. G. Willis,
has made extensive locations and will,
as soon as the machinery arrives, bore
for oil. The promoters seem sanguine
that oil in paying quantities will be
struck. In fact experts have closely
examined the ground and given as
their opinions that the indications fol
oil are the best in the West-far ahead
Of the Kern county oil fields OF Cali
fornia. Mr.. Willis is backed by q
strong corporation and will expend
500, 900 the coming Summer in prose
cutting the search.
The result OF the California COM
pany's activity has given everyone in
Elko the oil fever, and merchant,
banker, county official and butcher
have made locations, some going so
far as to remove prior location stakes
in their mad chase for a favorable
piece of land. Surveyors from all
portions OF Eastern Nevada are reap
ing a harvest surveying locations.

Considerable Business transacted
In Last Days OF Session.
The closing days Of the session OF
the Nevada Legislature were marked
by the usual rush Of business, among
the more important measures passed
being the bill adjusting the contro-
versy between Reno and Carson re-
garding the State Fair. The original
bill provided that the Fair be held in
Carson, instead Of Reno, and carried
an appropriation Of 5000 in aid OF
the enterprise, but the Riverside City
made such q spirited fight against the
proposition that 1t was found necessa-
ry to effect q compromise. By the
terms Of the bill as ii finally passed
the State Fair remains at Reno, and
1880 is appropriated to aid it, while
the Ormsby County Fair. which is
held at Carson, is given the remain
ing $3.50. 1t is believed that had
not this agreement been reached be-
tween the contending factions that the
Assembly would have refused to make
any appropriation Whatever for q fair.
The report Of the Joint Standing
Committee appointed to investigate
the disappearance of the State Or
phans' Home fund, which has caused
30 much comment lately, was pre-
sented on Tuesday of this week, and
goes infinitely into the affairs Of that
institution for q period covering twen-
ty-three years. The members of the
Board of Directors of the Orphans
Home, who were in Office in 1891 and
since, are severely criticized for their
alleged failure to properly care for the
funds in their charge, and il is recon-
mended that the Governor and Attor-
ney-G General take steps to collect the
note for $500 given by ]. f. Jones.
The document is quite lengthy, but as
1t will be interesting to all the people
of the State, it win be published in
full in the next issue of the SENTINEL.
In connection with the discussion Of
the affairs of the Orphans Home it
developed that some Of the members
Of the Assembly had been personally
investigating the management of that
institution, rs appears from the fol-
paragraph taken from the Reno
