EXCITEMENT DUE
TO OIL DISCOVERY
SOUTHWESTERN UTAH PEOPLE
HAVE TAKEN UP CONSID-
ERABLE GROUND

A wire from Virgin River, in
Washington county, Utah, states that
oil, has been struck on the property
of G. Morgan and Thomas Downey.
Messrs. Downey and Morgan are the
original l~ocators of this tract of land
and early saw the possibilities for
oil, With that end in view they went
to work quietly and secured $4,000
acres of land in the Virgin River
country. Last April a company was
organized in Rhyolite to prospect for
oil and the discovery yesterday shows
that they have been successful.
Mr.. Downey, who is now in Tono-
pah, states that the %oil-bearing strata
can be traced for thirty-two miles,
and that more discoveries will be
made as other companies are formed.
The character of the oil is the same
as found in Pennsylvania and con-
tains AZ per cent Illuminating and so
per cent lubricating oil. The drill
ers, who have been at work on the
property, say that it is the Oldest oil
formation in America, and that their
work to date shows 1900 feet of
Trenton lime which is the ~forerun-
ner of oil.
The people in the Virgin River
country are greatly excited over the
find, but all of the land is taken up
in the vicinity.
Virgin River is seventy miles from
the Salt Lake & San Pedro railroad,
and if a large acreage is found to
contain oil the company will prob
ably build a branch into the dis
trict.

growing beside them that appears as
a paradise to one who has been pros
pecting on the dry and hot desert
districts. Another consideration Is
the game that a person may have in
season for table use, such as sage
chickens, quail and young rabbits, A
arrow guage railroad runs from
Goleonda into the heart of the dis
trict over which the ores may be
shipped to the Southern Pacific Nain
line at a very small expense, and
there is no doubt that the Gold Run
district will make good. The min
eral is there and its up to the OPP
orators in the district to extract and
market 1t.
An important strike was made on
the Florence group of claims owned
by c. D. Booker, 0. NJ, Barnes and
A. Morency. The ledge is from ten
to twenty feet in width and assays
fro m$15 to $50 per ton in gold. The
gold is mostly free, as is shown by
paintings taken clear across this big
ledge,-Humboldt Star.

PLACER GOLD IN SHAFT
Round Mountain Comstock Gets Col
ors at Depth of $50 Feet

Round Mountain Comstock Gets Col
Ors at Depth of 23O Feet
Good indications of extensive
placer deposits have been found in
the shaft of the Round Mountain
Comstock Mining company, which is
now down to a depth of 230 feet. A
large number of coarse colors have
been PANIED and they are increasing
in number with depth.
r. C. Reed, promoter of the com
pany, and the mar who has the con-
tract for sinking the shaft, believes
that the placer at that location will
be more abundant than higher on the
mountain side. His theory is that
the gold found farther up the slope
of Round mountain is merely that
which came from the crumbling and
disintegration of the lodges, while
that down on the fiat represents the
gold which was washed down by tt e
action of torrents Of moving water
when the mountain was hundreds of
feet higher and the lodges were tori
down with other material. Besides,
the lodges of the Round Mountain
Sphynx aud Round Mountain EXten-
sion, both of which strike for the
Comstock ground, win be found to
have deposited much of the gold
from their ancient groupings along
their course.
In the old gulehes and ravines that
are now under a thick Gaping OF
wash it is expected that some very
rich pay streaks of placer gold will
be unearthed. Mr.. Reed believes
that such a ravine lies beneath the
Comstock shaft. He expected to en-
counter the solid formation at 200
feet, but being now at 230 he thinks
he is below the general level of the
bedrock.

.CLRRK ROAD IS
NEARING TONOPAH
G. o. WHITTEMORE BRINGS EN-
COURAGING NEWS OF RAIL-
ROAD SITUATION.

The Clark road is nearing Tono-
pah, and before the end of the year,
the rails of the Las Vegas and Tono-
pah railroad will probably be SHIN
mering In the sunlight at our doors.
G. o. Whittemore, vice president and
general counsel of the road, was here
yesterday, and stated that the survey
from Goldfield here will be complet-
ed in about thirty days.
THE grading into Goldfeld will
be finished between the first of Aug
ust and the fifteenth, and the tracks
will follow pretty fast, and trains
should be running into Goldield
anywhere fromsthe first to the mid
die of September, said Mr.. White
more. "As Don as the grading is
completed into Goldfeld, it will be
continued on to Tonopah. We have
had two surveys made out of Gold
field, one by way of Diamondield,
and the other to the west of Colum-
bia mountain; and we have pretty
well determined on the course we are
to take. We have not yet decided
upon u terminals here but we an
ticipate no difficulty as to that.
Coming into Tonopah, particular
attention will be paid to our grades.
and there will be no higher per cent
than 2.5. Coming into Goldfield, we
changed our route, making the road
three miles longer at an additional
cost of $4,000. But when we are
operating the road we will soon save
that extra cost.
I'VE have not yet solved the fuel
question, which is a very important
one at the present time, and will be
for the future. There is a shortage
of coal all yer the world apparently
and / do not e where we are going
to ecure relief. We can haul oil IL
here at so cents a hundred, which
will make the cost about SO a bar,
rel, laid down here. This ought to
and will help the situation; but Tho
consumption of coal has increased
about so per cent in the last tire,
years.
We are having the same troubll
with cars and equipment as the othe.
roads are having, and have order
ahead for the next two years. TIL,
steel for our rails to build into Gold
field and Tonopah were ordered NOR
than a veal ago. Nevada has hat
a good deal to do with the increas,
in the demand for coal, for cars, stee
an dmachinery.
See what has happened in thi
state in the past five years. Tn
mines that have been develops
have caused a demand for all thes
things. We have had to build ney
roads to accommodate the traffic
both passenger and freight, and tn
machinery that has been set up ha
been a drain on the fuel of tn
world. Nevada will be the theate
of railroad operations for the mex
five years to come. The mining OF
eratlons are so extensive, and wi
continue to grow to such an extent
that there will be a fight for the FRAT
fc. Observe what has been don
| here in the way of railroad construC
ton in the past three years, an
what is still being done. The couI
try has brought the railroads, an
, the railroads, will in return, aid !
the further development and built
t ing up of the country"
