will order a drilling plant at once and
begin operations. In one or two places
globules of crude oil come to the sur
face in the water and one spring has a
flow of natural gas coming to the sur
face all the time. An expert from Cali

for oil as of the best and will join
others in making tests. Several Yering-

and all seem very sure that the real
thing is in sight.-Lyon County Times.

AMALoAMATED CONTROLS ELY

According to the best information OBJ
tainable here, the Amalgamated Copper
company will take control of the Ely
copper district. For more thar a year
the district has been full of rumors to
the effect that the Guggenheims hal
lost control of the Nevada Consolidated
and allied companies which had been
secured by the Amalgamated, but all
inquiries at the offices of the company
here have been laughed at. Acting I'M
der orders from the New York office,
the local representatives of the com
pany have steadfastly declined to dis
cuss the point, but the developments OF
the last few days seem to leave no
doubt but that the change is imminent.

Mrs. Gleason said that she met
Kremer two years ago. and hat he was
drinking heavily at that time. He was
sent to DR.. Gibbons's sanatorium at

manner. s

vorce. with the addition of Another G,
