White Pine News. June 5: The
smallpox situation in Ely has ceased
to be a source of worriment. Normal

This action is based on existing con
ditions. and is assurance that there

disease has manifested itself recent
ly and the few patients who are now
in the isolation hospital will be re-
leased probably tomorrow.

Away at Salt Lake

In announcing the death in that

killed 81 men, into Utah from Eu-
reka, Nevada. The chase extended
over 765 miles, and when he caught
up with the bandits across the Utah
line, they are reported to have pro-
tested to Mr.. Simpson that they had
passed out of his jurisdiction.
81 am a deputy sheriff and not a
surveyor, and not having a survey
or's rod with me, | don't know
whether we have crossed the Utah
line or not" declared Mr.. Simpson.
He had both bandits covered with
his rifle and placed them under ar
rest. 1t developed that the arrest
was made in the vicinity of Moab,
the chase having begun near Eureka.

of Spanish Abe.

NEW INDUSTRY FOR ELK0
Rich and Immense Shale BODY Near That
Civ Promises Heavy Oil Production

r. NJ. Catlin, one of the foremost
mining men in the United States,
has been conducting a series Of ex
periments for several months with
the shale from the beds south OF
Erko, for the purpose of ascertaining
the commercial values it contained.
The tests were satisfactory, and Mr..
Catlin carefully investigated the ex-
tent of the shale body, with the idea
of erecting a plant for the extraction
of petroleum and other by-products.
The shale body was found to meet
the hopes of the promoters OF the
proposition, both as to quality and
extensiveness. and now, according to
the Independent. a new industry is
about to develop in Elko which means
that that place is to become the most
important town in Nevada.
A statement given out by X. ID.
Findlater, a shale expert, who mas
been making the Investigations. and
conducting a series of analytical tests,
is to the effect that the shale body
extends over an acre of 40 miles long.
and enough has been exposed to keep
in daily operation a large plant for
many years, with a daily production
of crude oil of 10000 gallons. Many
valuable products have been found in
the oil, including gasoline, petroleum
distillate, and all kinds of internal
combustion engine fuels. llluminat-
ing oils of excellent quality are OBJ
tainable, also lubricating oils and
paraffine wax.
Arrangements are being made for
the erection of a plant on the prop
erty for the extraction of the prod
ucts of the shale beds.
