BOOM IS On IN
THE OIL FIELDS

A letter received by "The Star"
today from Sulphur says that every
thing there is on the boom. There
are about 100 men in the town and
everybody is enthusiastic and certain
that the drilling operations under
way will develop a flow of oil and
that big producing field will be
opened up that will rival those of
California.
The letter states that locations
have been made for distance of
twenty miles out on the desert from
Sulphur and that anyone going in
now to locate will have to move
further out.
Options are being taken on land
by many of those who have gone
into Sulphur and investigated con-
ditions One prominent capitalist
who arrived there a few days ago
was so taVorably Impressed that he
is said to have purchased a large
block Of the stock of he Cooperative
Oil Development company, which is
putting down the first we'll and he
gave the assurance that he would
buy more Of the stock if necessary
to insure sending the well down to
depth to demonstrate the field.
Drilling had to be discontinued
on the G. o. D. we'll for a few days
owing to the want of shoe which
goes on the casing when it is being
driven down. The shoe was expected
to arrive yesterday by express, when
drilling was to 6e resumed at once.

WATER FOUND
IN kRTESIkN WELL
NEAR YER|NGTON

A Yerington dispatch of the 18th
to the Tonopah Bonanza says:
After surmounting obstacles of
every kind and degree, hunting
work when there was none, getting
work and losing all or part of his
pay, two years of grim perseverance
was rewarded and Joe Mcyertholen
threw his hat in the air last Sunday
morning, wehn, on his homestead in
the north end. of Smith Valley, he
saw ten feet of water spout into the
air, and knew that his fight against
the odds of the desert was won.
Scarcely less happy was Jay
Phillips, who brought the news to
town. He is a neighbor of Meyer
tholen's and hauled over the hand
rig for him. Meyertholen borred
SO feet by hand a 4-inch diameter
pipe. The we'll is in the middle of
his land. Other colonists around
the dry lake between Buckskin and
Kinds Springs are Charles Kinds,
Burton, Moll ert and E. w. Martin,
who last year raised from seed four
rows of onions, 70 feet long, from
which they harvested 400 pounds of
onions, some of them weighing 33
ounces. The soil is a rich, sandy
loam. Mr.. Phillips has water from
spring at Charles Days sheep camp.
He has several acres cleared, trees
set out, and expects a crop this first
year.
The artesian water is sweet and
soft, containing no alkaline salts.
1t has been found in other parts of
Smiths valley, but this is the first
located in the extreme END, and the
discovery gives an impetus to gov
ernment land holders. Delphi
Wells lie about four miles to the
southeast and furnish an inexhaustia
BILE flow.

farming is becoming to greater ex-
tent every year, a we'll managed busi-
ness.
While much of this advancement
is due to agricultural colleges and
experiment stations, it has grad
nally dawned upon the minds IT
farmers. fruit growers. stock rais-
ers, poultry and dairymen, that to
make farming a success, more must
be depended upon than just blind
luck, hence a study has been made
az, to how to get the most money
out of these occupations.
From leaving the machinery out
in the weather to rust. they, or at
least those who are thrifty, proper
~ house it. They have studied the
selection of seed and the timing of
crops to meet more favorable mar
kets. They have learned that pota-
toes averaging one-half pound are
more valuable than the larger and
rougher product. Fruit growers have
learned better the science of budding
and pruning and of spraying against
insect pests. They are also learning
how to best pack their fruit for
market, in order to build and main
tain a reputation for their orchards
product.
Stock and poultry raisers have
edvenced in breeding and raising
and along dairy and 0thor industry
lines is noted equal advancement.

Regarding Land Values.

Land that will yield 500 per
acre in a single crop should be
worth four times as much as land
thatwill only yield $25 per acre.
If the land which yields 500 per
acre is guarded against crop failures
which either drouth or excessive rain
fall cause, with a good ditch and
water right. it should be worth still
more in proportion.
Again, land must be rated accord
ing to it's improvements. as every
dollar that has been so expended is
an investment. If the buildings on
the land are worth $4,000, that
must be rated with the value per
acre; if the land is fenced. that is
a money improvement and worth just

with eighty trees to an acre. wnich
would make such an orchard worth
$1,000 to 81 500 an acre, exclusive of
the land, yet most people would con-
slider that high price for the land.
But when it is considered that such
land, in apples, has yielded from
5000 to $1,000 per acre, or from
$40 to $50 per tree in a a,single sea-
son, the price can hardly be consid-
cred too high. Whether it is 100
high or not, owners regard their
land to be worth those figures 20
them, and much orchard land in
Delta county hos sold in the last
two years for more than a thous-
and dollars an acre.
And the same Is true of other
land values here. as compared with
those in the East and middle states.
Our lands are worth more because
they will produce more.
