MAY GET OIL NEAR RENO

According to the Reno papers there is
every indication that an oil well of COM
nercial importance will be struck few
miles west of that city. Already oil has
been found in small quantities and the
experts declare that the indications are
good for gusher.
An oil we'll or two in the State would
practically solve the fuel question SO far
as mining and smelling is concerned,
but what is wanted more than anything
else is coal mine. This would furnish
fuel for household use, and that is where
the shortage of fuel is going to be seri-
Sus in this State.
1t is possible that Lyon and Esmeralda
counties will be able to furnish the coal
next season, as prospectors are bringing
in some very fair specimens of coal from
the Coal Valley country south of Yering-
ton, and from the district southeast of
here some Is miles, over near the Es-
meralda county line.

Pine GROVE PICKINCS

Word comes from Pine Grove this
week that a discovery was made in the
camp couple of weeks ago that looks
very promising. A 4-foot ledge has a
showing of $40 ore that carries its values
all in gold. 1t has not been learned
just who are the owners of the new find,
but the ledge runs into ground owned
by Birmingham, Cavano and Mcneil,
and on their ground the groupings show
ore that will give assays of $40 to $50
per ton in gold.
Superintendent Jaquette, of the Drum
mond Mines Co., is sacking ore from
the new strike in this property, the
value of which is probably $50 per ton.
There is liable to be litigation over this
ground, as DR.. Pierson is laying claim
to it.
Two shafts are going down at Arrow
head, one being sunk bythe Kokel Bros
and the other by Mr., McEwen and asso-
ciates. The former is down 90 feet and
the latter so feet, and both prospect we'll

He knew he could, and just as well

And so he worked, till last of all,
with brush a-running water
All down his pinky shirt-waist front
Just where it never "oughter"-
He went to Nurse and quoth he, as
he doubtfully eyed DER
His little breeches with great care ar

member OF the United States senate

the campaign. Delamater wrecked his
bank trying to buy victory. Criminal
proceedings were brought against him +;
then Quay abandoned him, and for
