FLOODS HINDER
POTASH DRILLING
UNUSUAL WEATHER AND WATER
CONDITIONS DELAY EXPLORA-
TION WORK by RAILROAD VAL
LEY SALINE COMPANY.

Repeated cloudbursts and water
spouts. deluges and ordinary rain
falls such as never were experienced
before in the history of Nevada, con-
spired to obstruct the work of the
Railroad Valley company operating
for potash in the eastern end of Nye
county, says the Tonopah Daily Bon
ANA Nevertheless the work is
proceeding and the company will
continue sinking and boring until
they either find potash or prove con-
the existence of the salts are without
any foundation
Monday afternoon ID. s. Walker,
superintendent, L. Z. Free, geologist,
Hoyt S. Gale, government expert In
charge of the potash surveys and
w. B. Hicks, United States chemist,
specializing in the same branch of
work, came in from the Duckwater
country filled with enthusiasm over
the dawning sunshine and the pros
peet of getting down to the real busi-
ness of drilling once more.
The party has been busy at Rail-
road valley drilling the No. 5 hole
which was put down a mile and six
tenths northeast of the No. 2 hole to
depth of 770 feet. The slow time
made on this hole was due to the
constant succession of floods that
kept washing and tearing out their
bitches and dams which constitute
the hardest part of every new loca-
ton. BY No. the management had
determined that the location was
wrong but at the same time it indi-
Gated what Superintendent Walker
was most anxious to ascertain and
that was the probable right location
to be three-quarters of q mile south
west of No 2. In about week No.
hole will be started and sent down
without any of the exasperating de-
lays incidental to the latest venture
NE uliiCuliy III StttinS Wctct u
the drill is the most tedious part of
each new location but with No. 3 1t
was particularly grievous as the
bitches were washed out three times
and ten days were lost in fighting
| floods.
Superintendent Walker takes ex-
ception to the statement cf an Ely
motorist who reports the road be-
tween Tonopah and Ely via. Hot
Creek to be completely washed out.
Mr. Walker says that between Hot
Creek and Currant Creek the road is
i'll fair shape but that down on the
Ration Flat for a distance of about
eight miles considerable work will
have to be done by Nye county t.
render the roads fit for heavy travel.
