OIL LANDS LOCATED FOR A RADIUS
OF MANY MILES--EXPERT ON WAY

1t is now one week since the report
ed "oil strike'' on the Black Rock
desert, about sixty miles west of
Winnemucca, but so far as known not
enough oil has been found to deter
mine it's gravity. One party told a
representative of the Silver State he
had located homestead claim of 800
acres and few placer claims extra.
The same party said that other home
steads, and some placers, had been
located, aggregating about eight thous-
and acres. The Lovelock Review, of
Friday last-printed by local paper
in an article on big Oil Strike Re-
ported on Black Rock Desert" quotes
Cecil Biggs as saying: "The oil sand
was found in the well which is being
sunk by the Western Pacific Railroad
company at Sulphur Springs" Also:
" Br. Biggs succeeded in locating two
hundred acres close in to the strike.'
1t is to be hoped that oil in paying
quantities may be found at the report
ed strike. Even the discovery of peat
deposits extensive enough to be worked

Heat Units Per Cubic Feet.

Thus, alcohol gives more than double
the heat of kerosene and about three
times that of coal gas, the chief sources
of fuel now used generally.
While this simple invention to make
alcohol cheaper than any other known
fuel, even in Nevada, will surely warm
and brighten the poor man s home, it
will have another influence that will
contribute not little to the develop
ment and prosperity of Nevada in min
ing and farming. The power now in
use in mines, pumping, etc., on farms,
is furnished by gasoline or oil engines.
The fuel is very expensive at first cost
and transportation distances from the
railroads to mines and farms costs
from one to tmo cents per pound, or
8 to 16 cents per gallon. Then the
cost of cans and cases must be added.
The heavy expense for fuel prohib-
its or restricts development. This will
soon be done away with. To illustrate,
take National, rs miles from the near
est railroad, where 100 horsepower
could be used to every one now en-
ployed. With raw materials at hand
and others easily grown, alcohol for all
power, heat and light, can be manufac-
tured ON the ground at cost less than

would greatly influence the cost of fuel
at Winnemucca-
The caloric value Of ten tons Of peat
freshly dug and untreated is assumed
to equal one ton Of good coal.
There are in Ireland 100000 acres
of unutilized bog land with depth
varying from 16 to 80 feet, or 1921
tons to one acre of bog. This would
be equivalent to 1928 tons of coal.
Accordingly, the total calorifc value Of
the bog lands Of Ireland is estimated
at 5,104, 100000 tons Of coal. Some
authorities maintain that the peat
bogs are reproductive. This, however,
is simple theory.
The peat lands Of southern Califor-
MIA have high calorific values, but the
lands are mostly valued for their great
fertility, especially for raising celery,
etc. In addition to peat, or oil, that
may be found on the Black Rock des-
ert, there are indications Of nitrate and
phosphate beds. A competent expert is
coming to inspect the field and make
tests that will leave no doubts to mys-
tify the public.

TO DIST|L ALCOHOL
FROM SACFBRUSH

Recently the Silver State published
an article on utilizing sagebrush by
distillation. The subject will interest
every Nevadan, some more than 9TH
ers. If it only solved the question of
light, heat and power, by cutting the
expense of those necessities more than
half in two, it would go long way
towards lifting Nevada from a pitia-
BILE dependency upon the oil trust an
railroads 1t is possible that before
another winter great part of Ne
vada need not import one gallon Of
oil or gasoline or a ton of coal. De-
natured alcohol to take their place,
"made in Nevada" largely out of USE
less waste.
A Winnemucca citizen, well up in
science, and quick to grasp a good
idea, has been carefully investigating
the manufacture of denatured alcohol,
from raw materials in Nevada and
quick growing plants. The industry,
while affecting every family and every
business in the state, cannot become
monopoly or trust, for a few families
can combine and own still, or even
one family can own small still, with
no government supervision, and at odd
times manufacture alcohol for lighting
cooking and heating at small cost. If
there should be surplus, it will readi.
ly sell at good prices. If on the ranch
or in town pumping of water is desira'
BILE, alcohol is a better fuel than oil
or gasoline, and costs to manufacture
about one-fourth what it costs to buy
oil or gasoline. In domestic use it is
well to know that it has few of the
lurking dangers of oil and gasoline. If
from leaky pipe or otherwise fire
should occur, water will instantly ex-
tinguish it, while water spreads and
adds to the combustion of oil and gaso-
line
In heating it is superior to all
asea as follows.

MAN AND DEPRETTO 2YEARS,9 MONTHS

This morning District Court con.
vened promptly at 10 O'Clock, and af-
ter having disposed of the routine
incident to the opening of a ses-
sion Of court, Judge Orr took up the
matter Of sentencing the three men re-
Gently found guilty Of the crimes with
which they were charged.
DePretto Gets Two Years and Nine
Months.
The first case called was that of
State Of Nevada va. Frank DePrutto
convicted Of the crime of forgery.
When asked if he had any legal reason
to advance why sentence should not be
pronounced, defendant gave as his ex-
cuse the fact that he had been drink
ing at the time he committed the crime
and did not realize what he was doing
In reply the Court touched ON the
gravity Of the crime of forgery, stat
ing that it was menace to business
interests, and one against which the
business public could not conveniently
protect itself, concluding the remarks
by sentencing the prisoner to two
years and nine months in the peniten-
tiary.
An Equal Term for Coleman.
A. II. Coleman, convicted of passing
spurious paper at Lovelock, was then
called upon to stand up for sentence.
Judge Langwith addressed the Court
briefly in his behalf, asking for leni
eney. Defendant, evidently man of
more than average intelligence, stated
to the Court that he had been well
educated and for many years had been
engaged in mercantile pursuits; he
persisted, however, that the check in
question had been handed him by
eonvivial companion, with the request
that he get it eashed, and that owing
to his intoxicated condition he did not
notice the apparent fraud.
Judge Orr intimated that an educat-
ed business man, 43 years Of age,
should not have allowed himself to be
made the tool Of a swindler, and sen
fenced the prisoner to two years and
nine months in the penitentiary.
A second Indictment against Cole

the present.

tional.
The sam eapplies to other commodi-
ties. DIR. Wiley, the head of the Pure
Food Commission at Washington, says:
/" Farmers and merchants will develop
this industry. believe the stills will
become as common as cremeries and
canneries.'
Why not? The Standard Oil Co. will
soon cease to control these necessities
of life. Science has come to utilize
waste material and the waste time OF
people and free them from the octopus.
These stills mark the sure decline OF
the great oil monopolies, and no one
can get a "corner' on tn estills. They
will also cause the millions Of idle
acres in Nevada to be utilized profit
ably. Immigrants must come to take
up the land. That means more bust
ness, more revenue for the state and
the rapid enhancement of real estate
and other values.
The Silver State will have something
to say on this subject in future. issues,
believing that it is one Of vital in
terest to every family and business
man of Nevada.

traces of his long Imprisonment, and
with his voice frequently choaked with
emotion, the prisones evidently had

spectators. During the recital of his
wrongs LeBaron was so overcome that
ne was kindly admonished by the oCurt
to take his time.
The defendant stated in substance
that he had been the victim of a con-

on him some years ago and requested
him to become a member of their

on his refusal they commenced series
of prosecutions to drive him out of
