PALISADE OIL FIELD
Is ATTRACTING MINERS

A new branch of the states re-
sources is reported from Palisade,
New, where it is said several men
have taken a large tract of land with
the reported intention of boring for
oil. says the Reno Gazette. Within
the past month three or four men
have been busy, locating nearly all
of the vacant land east of Hay ranch
station on the Eureka-Palisade rail-
way in Elko county, sixteen miles
south of Palisade. Within the last
day or two two men appeared on the
scene from California and are in
speeding the lands. The prospective
development is looked forward to
with great interest in the vicinity Of
Palisade.

IN UTAH IS
CAUSING EXCITEMENT
BEAVER CITY NEWSPAPER GIVES
NEWS OF NEW
CAMP

Excitement over the Beaver gold
field is bubbling over. 1t is asserted
by men on the ground that a big
permanent camp will be the result
of the operations going on. New
blood is coming in every day and
prospecting is being done on a broad
guage plan, says the Beaver City
Press. Most of the new corners evil
IDENTIFY know what they are looking
for and appear to be able to find it.
u Lee Glauchner. n of the best
known experts in the west, and a
recognized authority on pOrphyries
and gold-bearing rock, dropped in
here Tuesday for the purpose of look
ing over what is called the new gold
field, but what is really the Oldest
gold belt in the state.
1t is to early in the game yet to
get ''horsey" but indications of a
veritable boom ere getting more pro-
nounced every day. There seem to
be no question in the minds of the
new Corners that the district is rich
and that with very little development
a great country "a be opened up.
The showing which is being made at
the sheep rock is being taken as evil
donce of what may be expected in
many places in the north hills, as
all the surrounding country shows
equally as good cropping as the
Sheep Rock. What Mr.. Glauchner's
opinion may be after a thorough in
spection of the district, is looked
forward to with much interest by
everyone in the district.
Mr.. Turner was showing samples
of rock this week from the hills
southeast of Beaver, where he and
his partner have been prospecting,
that assay $3.50 to the ten in gold
and silver. They have staked off a
number of claims and will do con-
siderable work on them. This dis
covery is in an entirely new section
of the country and promises a little
stampede of its own.
1t is the conviction of the writer
that no man has a right to go out on
the public domain and locate half a
hundred mining claims and hold that
ground Indefinitely by relocation year
after year to the exclusion of legiti-
mate p~rospectors. No court in the
land would uphold this practice if it
was fought out. In 1898 Utah had a
law which provided that $50 labor
should be done on a claim within
ninety days after location. The pres
ent dog in the manger" method is a
brake on the wheels of progress; 1t
has kept this country back and will
as long as a vicious law permits men
to locate and hold a whole country
side without forcing them to do work
enough to at least show good faith.

LIKELY
TO Be RENEWED
WEATHER CONDITIONS PREVENT
EXAMINATION OF NINE IN
TIME LIMIT

1t is likely the option given some
months ago for the sale of the Lucky
Deposit mine in White Pine county,
New, will be renewed. 1t has just ex-
pired, but because of snow still COW
ering much of the country about the
mine and the abundant surface water
flooding a considerable portion of the
workings, the holders of the option
were unable to make an examination
of the property within the life of that
agreement.
The property is in Spring valley,
about 70 miles from the Utah state
line. There is a range of mountains
between it and the Nevada Northern
railroad, necessitating a wagon haul
of fifty miles to the nearest railroad
point. By the expenditure of about
$4,000 on a road the railroad, could
be reached in seventeen miles. The
property is in the Aurum district and
about six miles from the old mining
camp Of Aurum.
L.. G. Hardy of this city is treas
urer of the company. He has great
confidence in the future of the prop
erty and believes 1t will become a
great copper producer. The Outcrop
shows 200 feet of igneous rock lying
between blue lime and quartzite. The
part of this on which the develop
ment work has been dora is a 30-foot
vein. all of which, as o as the sur
face oxidized zone has been passed,
contains good copper values.
The principal development work is
a tunnel run on this vein for IS feet,
with a Wine at the face going down
81 feet, and from the bottom of this
a drift of As feet toward the hanging
wall. All this work is in ore and a
general sample shows 5A per cent
copper and three and one-ffth ounc-
es of silver. BY sorting a IL pei cent
copper product could easily be OBJ
tanned from the material taken from
these workings. In the winze a
streak was cut which assayed 1872
per cent copper and IL ounces of sill
YER. At a distance of fifty feet from
this tunnel is another which is in SIS
feet and in which a 10-foot winze has
been sunk, all in ore.
The geological conditions, Mr.. Har-
dy declares, are almost identical with
those at the famous United Verde
mine in Arizona, and he thinks the
outlook for a big copper deposit very
promising.

Havana. Oct. Distress in the to-

Pinar del Rio has become so acute that
the government is at loss to find
means for relief. Many tracts, once of
enormous value for the cultivation of
the finest tobacco and f1t for little else
have been abandoned. or partly utilized
for sugar or vegetables for the Ha-

ascribed. the foremost being that the
world has decreased its demand for the

been the case particularly as concerns
Europe and the present war has served
to make conditions worse. Much of
