BOARD APPRAISES
THE SNAPP ESTATE

Yesterday A. +. Trousdale, A. ID.
Dern and w. +. Pearce, appointed to
appraise the estate of the late Frank
p Snapp, for the purpose of levying
an inheritance tax, filed their report
with the county clerk. The total
value of the estate is placed at $52,-
s70.76.
The last Legislature passed law
providing for an inheritance tax, OF
which the state shall receive so and
the county 90 per cent. A tax of from
one to FIVE per cent is levied against
all estates of the value of $25,OO0 ac-
eording to the relationship the bene-
ficiaries bear to deceased, which are
termed "primary rates" This tax IS
increased until estates of the value of
more than $500,000 are taxed five
times the primary rates.
As there are different exemptions
provided for by the law, it is hard to
state Just what the tax will amount
to on the Snapp estate.

NENZEL LOSES CONTROL
ROCHESTER, MINING COMPANY

Joseph F. Nenzel failed to file a
bond for $s5,000 in the Federal Court
today and late this afternoon
Wayne T. Wilson, his attorney, said
he would not perfect his appeal and
would deliver to the plaintiffs 10000
shares of Rochester Mining company
stock, in accordance with the judg-
ment of the United States District
Court, says last nights Gazette.
This, according to Wilson, leaves
Nenzel $4,000 shares of stock out of
s32, 900 shares. John F. Cowan, of
Salt Lake City, has 10000 shares and
it is believed he will combine with
Peter Stevens, Sam Stevens and DR..
7. p. George, who get the 100000
shares of stock, and endeavor to force
action to oust Nenzel from the board
OF directors. 1t is said the scattered
condition of the remainder of the
remainder of the stock would make 1t
almost impossible for Cowan to secure
control of clear majority of the
s32, 900 shares.

Oil Man Strikes 1t Rich.

The stories of fortunes that have
been made in Oklahoma Oil Companies
are almost unbelievable, but anyone
can easily verify the facts. 1t is re-
liably reported that the income of one
oil millionaire is now $4,000 per day,
and it is said that this man came to
Tulsa years ago with only $40 in his
pocket. There is hardly man, woman
or child living in Tulsa who is not in
terested in one way or another in the
oil business. All this territy is rich in
oil and gas, and it is said that over
ninety per cent of the companies oper-
ating in this district have been success
full.
1t costs about $1,000 to drill well,
but when you get a production of 100
barrels per day, which is a reasonable
average. it does not take very long for
a well to pay for itself, and as you can
drill a well to every five acres, small
tract of land can easily make millions
of dollars.
Two of the most famous oil fields in
the world are the Glenn Pool and the
Cushing Pool. The Cushing field was
opened up by two men who had less
than $500 between them. What prom
i,es to be another valuable location is
the field which has just been opened
by the GREAT WESTERN PETRO-
LEUM COMPANY, which lies between
the Cushing and Glenn Pools, and is
said to be an extension of these pro-
dactive areas. Wells are now being
drilled. and it is expected that oil will
be produced in a tremendous quantity
within the next few days.
The story of Oklahoma oil reads like
q Romance. and much interesting liter

regarding the new oil fields can be OBJ

Young Sustained as Bank Examiner.


The Supreme Court last week handed
down a decision in the custer brought
against State Bank Examiner w. l..
Young, sustaining the ruling of the
lower court, which decided in Young's
favor. Gov. Hall demanded the resig-
nation of Mr.. Young, and on Young
refusing to resign the governor brought
suit of custer against him, and at the
same time appointed X. N. Sims to his
Office. Young fought on the ground
that his office is a constitutional office,
and that he cannot be removed until
his time expires, which is next Septem-
Der, except he be impeached and re-
moved for cause. Mr.. Sims has been
withdrawn by the governor.
