OIL and GAS
STRUCK IN The
BLAIR VICINITY

A report reached Tonopah last
evening that a Boston company
which is sinking for oil in the Salt
Marsh near Blair, struck oil and gas
yesterday afternoon. Telephone re-
ports from Goldfield also confirmed
the report and stated that the Gold
field agent of the company had re-
ceived a telegram from Blair with
the same statement, and further stat
ed that number of automobiles had
left that city last night for the scene
of the strike.
Owing to the lateness of the hour
it was impossible to reach Blair on
the telephone and full particulars OF
the strike could not be learned. 1t
is known though that several COM
panies are at work on the salt marsh
drilling for oil The entire country
is literally covered with oil indica-
lions and the strike was a daily eX-
pectation.

OF IMPORT TO
MINING CAMPS
Jude O'Brien Renders Decision in Gold
field Town Lot Litigation Which Means
Much to Many Mining Towns

Some weeks ago Judge O'Brien of
this city, occupying the Goldfield
bench for Judge Langan, heard the
presentation of the litigation between
Lillian May Finnegan and Bert Ul-
mer ct al, involving title to the Elite
saloon property on Main street, Gold
field, but which, in reality, has a di-
rect bearing on vast stretch OF
ground within the town limits. The
plaintiff wins out completely, and the
decision further sustains her view of
the townsite law as applied to such
mining camps as Goldfield.
Judge O'Brien took the case under
advisement, and on Monday sent the
written decision to the clerk of the
court at Goldfield, and the same was
read in court. The decision, sum-
married., is as follows:
ITO permit person who has been
let into possession of one of these
town lots under lease from the Or
iginal possessor, and after recogniz-
ing his title by the payment OF rent
or by accepting possession thereun-
der, to repudiate his lease and the
title under which he entered, simply
because the officials of the land office
might cancel the mining claim upon
which the title rests and afterward
issue townsite patent, would be to
place a premium upon fraud, viola
ton of personal covenants and Other
acts of more or less moral turpitude
which | can not consent to do"
Commenting upon the decision
and the direct and important bearing
it has on the development of Gold
field, the Tribune of Tuesday morn
ing says:
"A decision handed down yester
day by Judge j. P. O'Brien of Tono
pah establishes the point very clearl.
that a tenant can not accept a leas'
from landlord and then afterward
dispute the landlords title, and him
self claim ownership by virtue of pos
session.
THE decision has a tremendou
bearing on practically all the prop
erty in Goldfield, and delivers a bod
blow to those who would seek an ad
vantage at the expense of the earle
settlers.

business and mining man, will a

The district will, in my opinion, n

to me. Let it go with that, for, as a

that you have very excellent evidence
to conform the idea of big mines, y

DUELING IN ITALY.
Not Actually Forbidden, But Rendered
Difficult in the Army.

For years one has heard d great deal
about the abolition of the duel in the
Italian army. but nothing ever came of
it, although. as a class, the Italian Off
GERS are not quarrelsome. That was in
the days of a military minister of war.
Now a civilian holds that post. and has
taken active steps which have already
yielded fruit, so that while dueling is
not actually forbidden it is rendered
difficult.
The greatest duel of modern days in
Italy was that between the Count If
Turin and Prince Henry of Orleans. 1t
came about in a curious manner. Prince
Henry had nsu'ted the Italian army
after the battle of Adowa, and one day
received a telegra phc challenge to a
duel signed Victor Emmanuel" The
challenge was accepted. and thus
Crispi. who was prime minister. came
to know of the crown princes impul-
sive action. and interfered. But.
said King Humbert. his father how
can it be stopped? Our honor is noW
involved" Crispi thought moment.
and then exclaimed, Il have it. The
Count Of Turin is Victor Emmanuel
also. ana lnuS ne WAS lHe one VIII
fought.
this was followed by one of those
genial practical jokes which convulsed
Europe. France at that time hated
Italy and never lost an opportunity to
sneer at her. 1t must be explained that
in Rome there was always at carnival
time a characteristic figure of little
old man with an immense sword. riding
a donkey. who was a caricature of the
age of chivalry. and was called Cen
Mannaggia a Rocca."
One day in the French papers ap-
neared in imposing announcement that
Gen. Mannaggia la Rocca threw his
glove at the feet of the entire French
nation and cast their base insinuati0nS
in their teeth inviting any or all to
mortal fight. Replies were not long in
coming. one Of which was from noted
fcncer and duclist of his day. NJ.

and announcing their arrival in Rome.

AGE OF NIAGARA FALLS,
Prof. J. w. Spencer Declares Grea.
Cataract Has Existed $4,000 Years.

II the current issue of Science, Prof.
j. w. SpenSer defends an opinion ad
VanCcd last year but recently diSput-
Ell by other geoogists, concerning tho
length Of time during which Americas
best known cataract has existed. His
estimate OF the interval is $4,000 years,
which is considerably more than that
of Prof George F. Wright. who makes
it 1000 years. but far less than Prof
Grove X Gilbert's estimate of about
$50. 900 years.
All attempts to solve this fascinating
problem are based on well establish
ed fact AS the Niagara river is un-
dermining the ledge over which it tum-
b.es. and as the uppermost stratum OF
rock breaks away in consequence. the
position of the falls is continually
changing. 1t is now fully seven miles
from the vicinity of Lewistown. where
the shelf terminates. Obviously IT the
history of the cataract dates from the
time when it began to eat its way
backward from that point-an assuIn-
puOn which is probably warranted
and if the retreat has been at uni
form rate. computation of the age OIL
the falls would be a comparatively
simple task. Since the late Prof. James
Hall charted their position. in 1872 they
have recedcd $50 feet. an average OIL
about four feet annually.
The erosive work of the river, now
ever. has not been regular. as some
geologsts once took for granted. IN
deed, it has been exceedingly valiabie'
and ii is the lack of uniformity which
embarrasses those who seek to deter
mine how old the falls are. One OF the
influences which may have operated
with different force from one period 10
another are variations in the thickness
or hardness of the rock to be worn
through. 1t is uncertain. too. Whether
the falls have always been as hlgh do
they are now Q60 feet. Prof Speh'
Ger. for instance, thinks that Lake on
tario's level was once only 30 feet low
or than Lake Erie's. If he be correct
| the undermining effect must nave peei,
much smaller then than at present, anu
the rate of recession much slower.
Furthermore. it is generally beheVet
that the volume of water discharseu
nv the Niagara river has not always
been what it is now. Prof, spence
was one of the first to adducc evidence
that the contents of the three iah1'
formerly reached the st. Lawrence
lev by another route than that now io'-
lowed, and that the Niagara .ns
solved as an outlet for Lake Erie onis.

Pure Food LAWS in France.

Frank H. Mason writes from Paris:
THE laws of France. notably The
statute of July 2l. 1881. require that
every animal. whether native or i'm
ported to this country, shall. before be-
ing slaughtered for food be subjected
to veterinary inspection. Even
cattle, hogs and sheep. which are sold
by farmers to local butchers in rural
districts. are subject to the same in
variable system Of inspection before
they can be slaughtered and their flesh
offered for sale.
IF an animal is found afflicted with
a contagious disease it is seized killed.
and its entire body. hide and viscera.
soaked with petroleum, so that they
cannot be used for human food. In
some case the meat of such animals is
PERMITTED to be used, under supervision
and without mpregnation with
petroleum, for such purposes as feeding
carnivorous animals in menageries.
Cattle afflicted with tuberculosis are
treated in this manner-no part of the
carcass or viscera can be used for
human food but the hides. horns, and
hoofs may be used for the usual pur-
poses.
when any domestic animal has
passed the official inspection and has
been pronounced sound, so that it may
be slaughtered and it's flesh sold for
food, the entrails may be used for
sausage casing without any further in
spectiop or certificate; and this
principle is general, namely, the official
inspection of the animal covers both
flesh and viscera. and there is no
special inspection for entrails. There
can be. therefore, in France no sausage
castings from nom inspected animals.
since no OK, SOW calf, hog, sheep. goat
or horse can be slaughtered without
having undergone the prescribed in
spection, and if found diseased it's
viscera are either impregnated with
petroleum on destroyed.
In rural districts where no public
furnace is available for burning the
flesh and other parts of diseased
animals the law prescribes that they
shall be buried. Report.
