DEPOT SALOON HELD UP

The Depot saloon, opposite the
Western Pacific passenger depot,

Saturday night by two men. Tom
Panagates, the proprietor, was
alone in the saloon at the time.
One of the men covered him with
gun and made him turn his face

the man with the gun went through
Toms pockets and the other rifled
the cash register. Together they
took about $35 in cash, bottle of
whiskey and a piece of glass or

a $28 gold piece.

the hold-up Tom took walk

the men, but not being successful
he reported the robbery to the
sheriff's office about three-quarters

GERS went to the saloon at once and
then made a thorough search of
the town, but failed to find anyone
answering Toms description of the
men. A Western Pacific freight
train pulled out for the west just
as the officers got to the saloon and
word was sent to Constable kap-

He did so, but did not find the
men. There is but little hope of

The SCRAMBLE FOR OIL

The tracks of the oil promoter
are getting quite warm in this
Mexican mess. The attitude of
European governments is closely
touched by the hustle for concess-
ions. Down in Columbia, too, the
British government has been try
ing to annex profitable oil rights.
The world is using in year the
oil it took ages to produce. When
the oil is taken out nnthing is left
in its place. The ordinary citizen
who bad been, hoping to buy an
automobile with its moderate saw
ings sees the price of its fuel con-
stantly advancing.
1t is reported that the British
navy will be hereafter constructed
on an oil burning basis. Some of
the latest blttleship plans in this
country have the same arrange
ments. Meanwhile oil comes more
and more into daily use.
Formerly 1t was regarded mere
ly as valuable for burning in lamps.
Now it drives the automobile and
the motor boat and warships, rail-
roads and factories use it more and
more. Some predict that soon the
little heater used for the living
room on cold days will be displaced
by the oil furnace in the basement.
Cook stoves and ranges have oil
burning attachments.
The western states, ready tn take
up new ideas arc burning oil so
freely in daily life that there is a
saying in the trade "the Pacific
coast eats OIL"
In the best days Of the Penusyl-
rania oil fields, it used to be said
that the oil was worth less than the
barrels IL was put IN. NOW the
Pennsylvania production has fallen
in 20 years from 33, 900, 900 barrels
to 100000. With a demand con-
stantly increasing, the supply con-
stantly decreasing, the appetite for
new sources like Mexico becomes
simply ravenous.
Under these circumstances this
rush for the oil supply is another
case of spendthrift waste of re-
soucres. 1t is particularly obiec-
tionable when it embroils diplomacy
and introduces dangerous trail Of
commercialism to South American
countries Exchange.

Every railroad was congested with
these shipments, and the smelters
begged for surcease of consign-
ments. For once in the history of
smelling the industry was clogged
and the companies begged and i'm
portuned the leasers at Tonopah to
withhold shipments they could not
treat. Ore by the shipload went
from San Francisco to Everett,
Washington, and there was dump
ed on the docks to lie for month ;
without even a Waterman TO pro-
tect their content. The latter was
perfectly safe as there was no
means of reducing or extracting
and the ore was worthless as booty.
At Tacoma a mountain of ore
l25xl50 feet was piled in the smelt-
er yards.
Railroads ordered an embargo on
all Tonopah ores and at a score of
stations along the Southern Pacific
cars loaded with ore from Tonopah
were chained to the tracks and the
chains locked and bolted with forg
ed letters so that they could not
he moved by any oversight of train
men. The result was that leasers
had to throw their output over the
dump and keep it there until the
congestion was relieved.
Then came the Toncpah Mining
company from Philadelphia with
its millions of capital to solve the
problem. This involved the con-
struction of a railroad to connect
with the line at Sodaville. The
line was built for a narrow gauge
which everybody thought would
serve for years to come. In one
year this had to be changed to
STANDARD gauge. the change was
effected in eight hours.
During the railroad construction
period the Tonopah Mining COM
pany began the erection of mill,
as it was seen that the epoch of
high grade could not last forever,
and that with depth, the ores
would depreciate to a milling
grade. In any event it was an
economical measure that was fore
ed on the management, as the rail-
road tolls were absorbing more
than 20 per cent of the assay value
