RR0WER'S RESIGNATION
NOT ACCEPTED

The situation as regards the direc-
torate of the Belmont mine, is, to use
the shop-talk of the weather sharks,
"N,riable, with indications of far
weather." says the Tonopah Sun.
Tonopah is no sooner in receipt OF
adviees Saturday from Mr.. Brougher
to the effect that he has resigned from
the directory of the Belmont and its
subsidiary company, than there m
the further and somewhat more cheer
ing information that everything is
serene once more, and everyone is al
lowed to play again in everybody else s
hack yard. All of which, as intimated
in the first paragraph above, somewhat
suggests the variability of the weather
man.
To get at the true inwardness of
things, and get it from the fellows on
the inside, Harry Epstine this morning
sent kilograms to Philadelphia for the
straight dope on the whole matter. Be
fore noon he received one reply real
ing:
1--WE understand the resignation
was in the interest of harmony. Other
western representation is to be made
on the board, however, and the policies
of the company made satisfactory to all
concerned"
A couple of hours later a second dis
patch was received, and from another
party, which would indicate that things
occurred this morning in Philadelphia,
and after the sending of the first tel
egram, which materially changed the
situation. The second wire reads:
"The resignation rendered not ac-
cepted. All are in line for future har-
mony."
Since the kilograms are confidential,
it is not the place here to divulge the
but the information given is
straight as a string.
The situation, as it is read now by
a man up a tree, is that the Belmont
people have got together, concessions
have been made to Brougher, ana
everything is serene once more. All of
which will be good news here.

EUCALYPTUS TREES
THRIVE AT VEGAS

The eucalyptus tree, which has been
orowp so successfully in California, is
peculiarly adapted to dry and semi-arid
sections, and for this reason great hopes
are based upon the attempts to localize
ii in Clark county.
Experiments have been made with
boil the Australian blue gum and the
New Zealand eucalyptus. The former
has thus far proven the more satisfac-
tory, but it is understood that there is
"a variety in Africa which possesses all
the good qualities of both the Austria
liam and New Zealand types, yet is
more hardy and can stand greater ex-
cesses of heat and cold.
Around Las Vegas the people are
planting a great number of gum trees
and they are growing well, but the peo-
pie there make the mistake of watering
the trees too heavily. They really do
not need any irrigation to speak of or
ZONE at all after the tap roo gets down
to moisture. 1t is possible to produce 4
grove within ten years, for the tree
grows very rapidly.
The trees can be topped frequently
and the wood used for fuel. Splendid
mining timbers can be made from the
eucalyptus, which does not shrink,
waterlog or rot, and will stand tremen-
dous pressure. The leaves are also very
valuable for medical use. The tree is
extremely ornamental and serves to
conserve moisture as we'll as act for a
wind break and shelter for cattle.

HUMBOLDT OIL field
Scene OF ACTIVITY

WINNEMUCCA, April 27.-R. s.
Barlow and l.. r. Scott have arrived
from the new oil fields at Sulphur.
Both state that good progress is being
made in the new well that Is being
bored by the C. O. d. company and
that before leaving camp the big drill
had reached a depth of 225 feet. At
the rate the well is being pushed down
it is expected that the first oil will be
encountered by the first of next week,
at a depth of 425 feet. This is the
depth that the first oil stratam was
struck in the Western Pacific well,
which is only about one hundred and
fifty feet away.
Many people are arriving in the new
oil fields and the claim owners are
watching the progress of the new well
with great interest, but all are optimis-
tic and believe that oil In paying
quantities will be struck in the new dis.
trict. The G. 0. ID. company is hay
ing no difficulty in raising money to
send the well down to depth as the
stock is being readily taken by buyers
no have seen conditions at Sulphur
aud believe it is a good investment.
The new oil fields are now attracting
the attention of experts in the oil
business and the conditions and for
nations there are pronounced to be
the best for paying oil wells. One ex-
pert from California, who is on the
ground, stated the other day that he
was willing, free of charge, to take the
night shift with the big drill SO as to
rush boring to the first oil, so anxious
was he to prove the existence of OF,
there. 1t is believed that the
striking OF the first oil stratum, which
was about four feet thick, of a heavy
parafine oil, in the Western Pacific
well, will start many other companies
boring, as this well being the best evil
dence that oil in commercial quantities
is likely to be found in the district.
When the Western Pacific well was
bored, which was started exclusively
Tor the purpose of securing water, the
easing chat followed the drill soon cut
off the oil from entering the well. Mr..
Rowley, who had charge of the big
rig when this well was sent down is
doing the boring at the new we'll and
IS satisfied that he will strike the OIL at
the depth stated.
J.. +. Kerr, president Of the High
Gravity United Oil company, with
headquarters in San Francisco, left
for Sulphur Saturday to inspect the
new fields.
