Plan to Remove Pictured Drills

In drilling deep holes by hand with 10
or 20.foot steel, the bar often sticks; or,
in some cases, a drill is actually driven
in soft ground as one would drive a
stake, and then it becomes necessary to
resort to some means to remove it. This
may be done easily by taking a piece
of steel IA or ~ inches thick, s inches
square. with a hole in the center about
twice the size of the drill. This is placed
over the head of the drill and two steel
wedges driven in, to fasten the piece Of
steel on the drill. This gives a good
shoulder against which to hammer. A
few blows on this will soon loosen the
bar. 1t is much more effective than a
chain and lever, or pulley block.

To Develop Elko's Oil Fields

Elko Independent: A few weeks ago W. A. Pitt, a practical oil
man of Goldfeld, and Mr.. Lawless, a new York capitalist, spent
several days here looking over the oil field with a view to sinking a
we'll. They found the conditions favorable and have notified Mr..
McElroy that a drilling outfit would be shipped here soon and
work begun.
They have located two sections of land south of the river OPP
posite Elko and it is their intention to put a well down 5000 feet If
oil is not struck in paying quantities before that depth is reached
Instead of going on top of the foothills to drill their well as those
before them did, they will put the well down in the fiat near the
river.
MI. Pitt had a good deal of experience in the Beaumont, Texas,
oil field and is thoroughly familiar with the business. The fact that
he has concluded to sink a we'll here is evidence that he is satisfied
that all the conditions are favorable for finding oil in paying quanti-
ties. Mr.. Lawless and his mother conduct a large pearl button
mandatory in New York City.
Since Mr.. Pitt made his locations, several hundred acres of land
have been located by Elko parties. OF course all OF them expect to
be milionaires before many moons.

The Prospector and His Burro

"Some time ago" said the prospector
to his burro. I'VE were talking of ex
perts and mining engineers. aud now
you seem to think you know all about
them. for your interest is more cen
tered in that empty tomato a than in
what / am saying. But l want to tel
you that your knowledge of mining en-
gineers is about the size Of a penny
ante, for / never allowed you to keep
much company with that class. / see
that you think l I'm only knocking from
force of habit. but that is because your
belly is full aud you feel more peaceful
than you will in the morning when we
start to hike up that steep canyon.
Just as there are burros aud burros,
SO there are engineers and engineers.
And the number of good ones among
the engineers is far less than among the
burros. But this is not a compliment to
you. non whatever. for the engineer of
to-day is not in the same class as the
one we saw down by the river some IL
years ago. The majority of modern *.
perts are too much afraid OF making
mistakes and hurting their regulations.
and SO. many a good property has been
turned down because the metal was not
coined on the dump and ready for ship
ment to the bank. Then. again. there
are some who will give a rosy report on
any proposition If they are paid enough
for the job. and this class is far worse
than those who want a little mint with
. fence around it.

Against Granting Ship Subsidies

There has been q loud cutlery of late
because Of the passage of the American
flag from the high seas. Time was. be-
fore the Civil War;. when the merchant
fleets of America outnumbered those of
every nation of Europe and pressed
hard those of Great Britain for suprem-
acy of the ocean transportation and car
rying trade. The American flag was
very much in evidence in every port in
the world, and American builders led
the world in ship designing. But when
wooden walls and ''hearts Of oak" gave
place TO ribs of steel and iron plates and
Congress denied to American ship-own-
ers the right to buy their vessels in any
market by prohibiting them from flying
their country's flag upon their property.
the Stars and Stripes began to disappear
from the seven seas, and now is as
scarce as it was mt plentiful.
The advocates. of a subsidized mer-
chant marine have been very active in
creating the impression that the worlds
carrying trade is being done almost en-
tirely by foreigners. This is not the
fact, says the San Francisco Recorder.
Americans have millions invested in
ships and sea faring enterprises and are
operating vessels in all of the seven seas.
Unfortunately. owing to the registry
laws. foreign built vessels, owned and
differed by Americans, cannot fly thi
American flag, a fact that gives color &c
the statement that the ocean carrying
trade of this country is done in foreign
bottoms.
The truth of the matter is that the
flag has been legislated off the seas

How Tonopah Was Discovered

Various references to the discovery Of
Tonopah by James L. Butler, better
known as 'Jim." are inclined to give
the credit for this historical find to the
burro that accompanied the veteran
p~rospector much in the same way that
the Idaho Courts rendered the ''jackass"
decision. This assumption of knowl.
edge is q serious defamation Of Butler's
character and a loss of rights which
should be indisputable. The facts of
the case are well established by dim
Butler, who wrote a story that was in
corporated in the annual report Of the
Surveyor General of Nevada, which to-
day stands as the only authentic ac-
count of the borning If Tonopah.
After reciting the fact that he had
been influenced by reports of Indians to
go down into the southern country, he
explains that he was prevented by other
business matters until the Summer of
1900, when he says: II left Belmont,
the county seat of Nye County, on a
prospecting expedition to the south. /
passed all the way " the Manhattan
mountains. left Rye Patch travelling all

as Tonopah IA small spring. near which

There is no need for subsidies. Sta
tistics show that there are over 1,0OO.-
900 gross tons of ships owned by Ameri-
can citizens hat are compelled under
the law to fly foreign flags, adding to
the foreign tonnage what rightfully be-
longs to America. The statement that
this country has no merchant marine
is untrue; it has a merchant fleet, n
a large one, but by reason of unwise
legislation the tonnage credit goes to
foreign countries. Now, to restore ''the
flag" to the seas. it is proposed to pay
out vast sums in the shape of mail
subsidies to passenger carrying vessels
which do not need such assistance. The
flag is carried from port to port, not by
the ocean g~reyhounds, but by the
freighters-they are the ones that need
assistance. Coastwise shipping is am
ply protected, but the deep sea vessels
that poke their noses into every harbor
of the world are without protection.
The remedy does not lie in the pay
ment of the public money in subsidies
for carrying the mails, but in removing
the ban that prohibits the flying of the
American flag over the property Of
American citizens. even though that
property be of foreign construction.
This would make available for auxiliary
naval service hundreds of vessels owned
by Americans, but having foreign re-
gister. The logical way, to restore the
flag to the seas is to enact some such
measure as the Hanna bill, and not by
taxing the people for the benefit of a
few shipbuilders.
