WHO GOT THE BOOZE

The burning question of the
hour in the State Bank case is
What became of that booze"
There were 500 barrels of whiskey,
?5 barrels of rum, sixty cases of
bottled goods and hundred cases
of champagne. 1t was given to
the bank for security upon loan
of $1,000 il Goldficld a number
of years ago. The books show
that the NOR tgage has never been
paid and the whiskey is gone.
Who got it, did you?
The receiver claims he could not
handle load of booze like that
and Judge Mack swcars he is far
too small to handle the rum. At
torncy Peck said h. could handle
the champagne, if he had a chance
at it, but objected to the barrel
goods. Judge Langan was inter
csted in tire proceedings and really
looked as if bottle of that White
Seal would not be amiss.
Baiiff John Ellis wanted the
booze in as evidence and started to
clear the room for its reception
hut it was not forthcomir The
word leaked out on the street and
many men wendell their way to the
courtroom to be present when the
bottles were re opened.
y Nothing stirring, however, as no
one seem,d to have the keeping of
the wet goods.
Judge Mack says Hickey gave
the booze away ard the bank was
the sufferer while the attorneys
for the defense claim to be from
Missouri. The case went ov or
until next Thursday when the
liquor question will be fully aired.
1t is believed that a number Of
depositOrs will be present with
baskets and tomato cans when the
court assemblies again in hopes of
getting dividend from the
barrels CARSON News.

OIL At TEST WELL

While considerable has been
published in these columns the
past four years regarding the oil
indications and formation in
Churchill county, yet whatever
movement have been made by our
citizens have been done quietly
without the least effort at making
statements that might be con-
strued in the nature of creating a
boom. There has been no ground
for boom because the necessary
work of sinking to determine the
question as to whether or not oil
exists within the confines of the
Lahontan Valley has never been
carried out.
Nevertheless, the development
of gas in different parts of the
valley and the strong oil form
alton has lead to the location of
thousands of acres of oil claims
the present year.
For the above reasons the pro-
greSs at the test we'll being put
down by the U. S. Geological
survey Is miles belnw Fallon on
Old River, is being watched with
special interest. While the officials
in charge of the work are not
at liberty to give out the results
of their labors, yet parties who
have visited the we'll state that at
depth of 290 feet a small strata
of oil sand was encountered, carry
ing traces Of oil, while at depth
of 300 feet which was attained on
Monday evening of this week,
another strata of oil sand was
struck and it is stated that the
oil as so pronounced that it tloated
upon the water. This 300 loot
level is said to have showed the
strongest oil indications yet dis
covered in this valley.
AS a result, considerable land
has been staked off in the vicinity
of Timber Lake this week.
The flow of water from between
the 8 and 10 inch pipes at the
test well has increased from Is to
20 gallons perminute and elements
of sodium carbonates are diminish
ing, which makes the supply all
the more desirable for irrigation
purposes. With this flow of 20, 800
gallons per day considerable land
could be reclaimed.
The past few days the drill has
been encountcring fish bones in
the old lake bed. According to
the geological reports tn old bed
of Lake Lahontan extends to a
depth Of 500 feet.

WHY MARS IS UNINHAB|TED

AS the Marian year is composed
Of CSC days, each pole is exposed
to the suns radiatious during a
period Of more than eleven months,
so that the snow deposited during
one winter is almost wholly melted
before the following winter. A
pocket barometer in Mars would
register a pressure of little
over ten centimeters. This atmos-
pheric pressure is so light that
the human organism, habituatcd to
the bottom Of the aerial ocean.
where it supports total pressure
of 32,0 pounds, would be unable
to survive. No human being
could live; no mammal, no bird OF
the organic structure Of the arthly
animal. could resist su"h slight
pressure. Water could not remain

That the wreck OF the Federal Ex-
press, OF the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad Co., at Bridge
port, Conn, on July IL, was due to q
disregard of the signals and rules of the
railroad company oy the engineer,
rather than to a defect in the signals
and rules themselves, was the report of
H. w. Belnap, chief inspector OF safety
appliances, to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, made public here today.
The findings exonerate the railroad
company.
The serious business of over riding
the veto OF president confronted the
House when it met today and it went
about the business seriously. Just as
full an attendance as democrats and
republicans could muster was on hand
to wrestle With the wool measure. The
democrats needed thirty insurgents
votes to pass the bill by the two-thirds
majority required to override the veto,
aud Underwood vas confident that they
would get it. The vote by which the
bill was originally passed was greather
than two-thir.ls, and this gave Under
wood basis for his belief.
