TOWN OF CONTACT
Is GROWING FAST

Several photographs OF the town Of
Contact New. have been received in Salt
Lake City. and they illustrate how quick
" a Nevada mining town can spring up
and how fast the usual mining camp ac
compartments follow activity In the
mines This new and little Sagebrush
city for instance. has two stores. one
hank building. hotel is under construc-
ton. while there are eight saloons now
open and doing a very nourishing busl-
ness.
Contact is awaiting with commendable
pa tinncc for the extension Of the rail-
road line into the camp. \ line is being
brought down from Twin Falls. and when
work was stopped this line last year
thc rails were within thirty-two miles OF

builders have been ordered back to work
again and the task of hewing a path
through the hills will be under way short

CREV|CE WELL IS
HIT IN WYOMING
New Find of Oil Promises to Be
Very Important De-
velopment.

What gives promise of being the most
important development so far recorded in
the Spring Valley oil fields OF Wyoming
was reported on Wednesday from the
property OF the International Consolidat-
ed company. This is an organization OF
local and eastern capitalists who have
earnestly endeavored to give their pos
sessions the very best that expert talent
and liberal expenditures OF money could
provide, In speaking of the find on this
property yesterday, a. " Taylor. who
long has been identified with this Wyo-
ming field, and who Is prominent Of
fetal OF the Pittsburg-S Salt Lake Oil com
papy. said:
From the reports received here this
international find promises TO be what
is known In the oil world as a crevice
we'll, being connected with the pool and
proving practically inexhaustibie. The
we'll Is being pumped steadily. and there
is no diminution of the oil. 1t is the sort
of we'll that we all have been looking
for and II il proves 10 be crevice il

MAY PUT IN DRILL
AT T|NT|C GROUP
Standard Company Going Over
Advisability of Using Dia-
mOnd Drills.

Judging from the way in which sew
eral directors and prominent stockhod-
ers of the Tintic Standard Mining COM
pany are now canvassing the situation.
il Is likely that some diamond drill oper-
ations will be under way in this we'll
known Tintic property before the snow
flies. Mining men as a rule are utilizing
the diamond and churn drills these days
TO prospect their ground rather than trust
TO the expensive old-style crosscut and
drift method, unless the geological con-
ditions are such that drill operations
could not be economically carried out
The Tintic Standard management is
sending it's shaft to the 1000-foot level
prospecting one Of the largest mineral
zones OF the camp. The mineraliZed zone
is so large, however, that unless the 1000
level presents unnilstakable evidences of
certain nearby ore results. IT may be n
much more logical manner to explore that
depth by the aid of diamond drills.
These drills can be used for driving in
any direction and at any angle. Dis
tances 500 feet or more In extent can be
gained economically and quickly where
drifts would neceSsitate time any money.
The Opex company is utilizing diamond
drills at this time, and their use. as
stated, Is becoming common throughout
the mining west

been RACED 10 the ground, the families
having sought homes further down the
canyon, The few remaining families are

paratory to leaving IN a few days. ON

An eighty room, three-story boarding
house is being erected for the accommo-

exodus of families will admit OF further

New York Sun: The course OF the

time to restore confidence In the con-
struotion possibilities OF the stock mar
