ORMONDE is DEAD.
Famous Thoroughbred Horse Chloro-
formed to End His Sufferings.

Ormonde. the world-famous thorough
bred stallion, was chloroformed by order
of mis- owner to relieve great suffering
from paralysis at the stock farm of W..
OBJ. MacDonough at Menlo Park, Cali
fornia, on May 10.
Probably no horse in the annals OF
the turf was more talked of in his day
than Ormonde. Foaled in 1888, the son
of Bend Or and Lily Agnes, bred and
owned by the Duke of Westminster.
he won every race that he started in and
earned for his owner in stakes the sum
of s142, 1926. He also had the distinction
of being one of the few horses to win
all three of the classics of the English
turf The Duke of Westminster sold
Ormonde to Senior Bocau of Buenos
Ayres, and he was sent to South Amer.
lea for breeding purposes. A few years
later he was purchased by Mr.. MacDon-
ough and shipped back to England.
Later he was brought to America. Fred
Archer. premier jockey of his day, rode
Ormonde in his races and pronounced
him the greatest race horse ever born.
As a sire Ormonde failed to come up
TO expectations. He was first bred to a
number of high-class English mares, but
only n of them foaled. A few of his
som and daughters were fairly success
full as racers.

RICH REVEILLE ORE.
$50 Tons Average Sc Per Cent Lead
and A. Ounces Silver.

A letter from Herman Reischke. a
gentleman long identified with the dig
gings of Montana, to a local mining
man., says the Salt Lake Tribune, indi-
Gates that Thomas j. Lynch of this city
has been joined by E. H. Macdonald
the Montana mining engineer. in the
exploitation of an option on the Reischke
group of argentiferous lead mines at
Reveille, Nevada, about fifty miles east
of Tonopah. While the proposition is
a youngster, it has already marketed
100 IONS of ore which revealed an aver
age of 66 per cent lead with Al ounces
silver, while on the dump is a consider
able tonnage of second-class ore that
might qualify al first were it not so re-
mote from transportation. With the
present demand for lead ores, it is not
likely that Mr.. Lynch will permit the
group to get away from him.

THE FALLoN OIL FIELDS.

The Reno Gazette does not place much
faith in the reported discovery of petro-
leum recently made by well borers in
sinking a forty foot well at Fallon, COM
ments the San Francisco Chronicle. 1t
says the great valley where the find is
located "does not lend itself to the belief
that oil will be encountered there in
depth" Two and a half miles from
Fallon is a lava mountain of recent orr
gin. At White Plains the railroad COM
pany bored an artesian well $500. feet
deep, which cut through two distinct
lava flows with sedimentary walls be
tween and ending at the bottom in a
bed of salt. The Gazette holds that
these lava flows and the presence of
the i%ntruding volcanic hill at Fallon are
u~nfavorable to the finding of crude oil.
for the reason that the latter must essen
tally belong to a more ancient period
than the lava and would likely have
been burned ont by it. 1t is inclined
to believe. therefore, that the oil OBJ
tanned from the Fallon well is the same
that is usually found in small cavities
and limited quantities in peat beds,
which is the product of decaying animal
and vegetable matter. There is still an
other theory. Perhaps the well was
~sssalted.D
