appeal which goes straight to the

There is sort Of fascination con-
nected with it which is hard to
ignore. We are not going to make
a habit Of publishing such things
but we feel that we should make
exception in this case. The want
ad Is as follows:
Misunderstanding young widow

The young lady incloses her

GOVERNMENT
WANTS OIL LANDS

One Of the most important
suits ever brought in the federal
courts will soon be begun by
action Of the departmnt of justice
to contest the right of the South
ern Pacific railroad to the oil in
about 700 square miles or about
$50. 600 acres of territory in the
districts of Maricopa, Midway, Nc.
Kittrick, and Coalinga, where the
railroad lays claim of ownership
Of each alternate square mile as is
we'll known to all petroleum pros
pectors.
Some Of these Southern Pacific
holdings have been developed by
companies closely affiliated with
the railroad and as a result of
some Of this development great
wells have been struck. But the
for the most part the land lies
idle until other oil driIlers work
around the edge and develop oil,
when the Southern Pacific wakes
up and puts down wells in self
defense.
What the government ropes to
do is to throw all of this land back
into government ownership that

LARGE SODA CROP

The soda company at Keller has
started to harvest its present
years soda crop. Fifty Japanese
laborers arrived within a few
days. F. L. Young the manager is
busy experimenting the harvest
ing Of the crop. This years pro-
duction will exceed last years. 1t
is estimated that ten thousand
tons of crude soda will be taken
out of the watts and later converted
into soda ash. The production Of
soda is a unique process. In the
early part of the year large
pumping plant carries the soda
waters of Ovens lake through
pipes into large watts.
The heat action of the suns rays
condeEses the water SO at the
finish there are deposits Of crude
soda in the bottom of the watts.
This year the company has installed
a labor saving device. A gasoline
bucket hoist takes the soda from
the bottom Of the watts and dumps
it on the cars, then it is piped up
to the yards Of the works.
The soda ash product is mainly
used for glass manufacturing
purposes and the entire output is
usually contracted for ahead Of
time. The approximate value of
the soda crop this year is about
5000, 600. Tonopah BONANZA.
