ELko, 10000. IN 1920,
PLACE OF OPPORTUNITY,
HEALTH, PEACE, PLENTY

George B. Russell. editor of the Elko
Independent, made q visit TO our city
yesterday and returned to his home
town this morning. Mr. Russell is GER
tainly some enthusiast on the future of
Elko and states II his belief that the
population of the metropolis of Elko
county will reach the 10000 mark be-
fore three years have elapsed. Far
reaching tributary mining and aGriCul.
tural resources are to contribute to
this future expansion. but Is Is his
opinion that the prospective develop.
ment Of the immense beds of oil.bear.
Ing shale Immediately surrounding
Elko VIII be the means OF instItuting
and promoting much of this impending
prosperity and consequent increase In
the census. According TO Mr.. Russell,
responsible financial interests even
now are actively at work preparing TO
erect the initial unit OF large plant at
Elko to extract the oils and residual
products from the oleaGinous shales.-

EDGENOAT MAY BE FAMOUS GOLD CAMP
MEN OF BRAINS AND
CAPITAL ACTIVE now

ALEX WISE. E. NJ. of San Francis
CO, a man of action renowned through
out the country Tor his ability as a
mining engineer, Is here en- route to
Edgemont, to make an inspection OF
the Lucky Girl gold mining property,
preparatory to the resumption of de-
velopment upon a large scale. The
property is under bond to a New York
company from George Boyce and Mr..
Bach. Mr.. Wise is the representative
of the New York capitalists.
The engineer said that the lower
tunnel, now in 1000 feet, will be driv-
en- into the ore body, the upper work
ings will be cleaned out, and all re-
pairs and improvements will be made
to put the mill on paying basis. The
last work was done about year and a
half ago.
If the expectations Of the engineer
and his associates are realized, Edge
mont soon will become one of the larg-
est gold camps in the State.
Mr.. Wise came here from Tonopah.
He said business there was booming
The 5000 people comprising the popu-
lation are all boosters. The West End
mill, he said, is working day and night
on custom ore. The Belmont Is work
ing on its own ore. All mills are run
ming TO capacity.
Goldfield, said Mr.. Wise. has re-
ceived anew lease of life through the
marvellous success of the oil flotation
process. The Consolidated mill is be-
ing run by the oil flotation, also the
Florence dump. 1T is a remarkable
success" he said.
Business at San Francisco is excel
lent, said Mr.. Wise. The story that
the exposition hurt the city Is abso-
lutely untrue. Every man and his
dog are at work. Building Is booming.
New residence districts are being de.
veloped. The Municipal Railway is
advancing its lines"
Mr.. Wise said there had been great
excitement among tine miners of
Southern Nevada over tungsten posi-
bnities. The boom caused by the de
mand has reached mammoth proper
tions. Many new copper and tungsten
properties have been opened up and
everybody is busy and prosperous.
The tungsten mills of Sodaville are
now in operation.

VAST RESOURCES OF
ELKO TO Be UTILIZED

When the shale is taken from the
mine it Is put through roll mastica-
tor. 1t Is then conveyed through large
furnace tanks by means of screens,
where the heat precipitates the oil. 1t
then goes through scrubbers. acid and
roasting tanks, where every particle
of oil Is extracted. The residue is
then crushed and passed through a
200-mesh screen and is converted into
decoloriZer. which is said to be sew
eral times more valuable in sugar re-
filming than bone-ash.
Tests show about 600 pounds OF oil
to the ton. This oil, when cooled, is
of about the same consistency as but
ter, and from this the paraffine Is eX-
tracted. About 200 pounds of paraf-
fine is taken from 600 pounds of oil.
This product Is light amber in color
and Is ready for the refinery. The oil
Is OF good quality and is capable of
being converted into the highest quail
~ gasoline.
The initial plant will be OF fifty tons
capacity. 1t is financed by X. NJ. Cat
lin. one of the most widely known min
ing men in the world. Mr.. Catlin has
been conducting experiments for two
years and is confident that an industry
can be developed which will be second
to none in the State.
According to Mr.. Findlater, one OF
the greatest experts on shale, there is
enough in sight to guarantee a produc-
tion of ten thousand barrels a day for
forty years.
The plant now in process of con-
struction will cost in the neighborhooh
Of $4,000. It Is only for experimental
purposes, however. If, through this
plant, Mr. Catlin succeeds in proving
his theories, more units will be added
and permanent plant costing sew.
eral thousand dollars will be con
struCted.
As the shale beds extend over a
field more than twenty miles long. Mr..
Catlin's success means more to Elko
than can be comprchcnded on first
thought. Other companies will be
formed and engaged in the work and
many other industries will be cstab.
lished as a result of having cheap fuel
and cheap power.

SURE
TO ENRICH THIS CITY

ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION WORK
the shale beds. one mile south OF Elko.
The engines, retorts. conveyors, fur
naces, etc. have arrived, and Engineer
Browne. who is directing the ccnstruc-
tion work, stated today that he hopes
TO have everything in readiness for
the starting of operations within nine
~ days.
For the last several months, Charles
Glider has been actively engaged with
force of men, developing the shale
body, and he already has enough ma
terial on the dump to start operations.
Before the plant shall have been COM
pleted. ne will have enough to keep II
going for number of months.
Mr. Glider has started a three.com-
partment incline shaft and has fol-
lowed the shale body 100 feet. AT the
surface the body is only eighteen
inches wide. while at the bottom of
the incline 1t is nearly five feet. where
II Is richer in oil and other values.
Closer TO the surface the action of the
elements leached part of the values.
From shale cropping at the surface
only twenty percent OF oil was eX-
trdcted, whilG' at the hundred foot
level the yield was thIrty-five percent
At the bottom of the incline a cross
cut was started. TO cut another and
larger vein. This cut IS now in seven
~ feet. and the new ledge was en-
countereG today. Its width has not
yet been determined, but II suTpasses
expectations.
4 pipeline Is being laid from the
works site TO n point in the Russell
field. near the river, where q large
| well IL being sunk. 4 tank will be
placed upon the hill above the works
and water will be pumped by means Of
gasoline. The plant will require about
$4,000 gallons of water a day.
a trestle work 100 feet high, with
an incline of 26 degrees. which Is the
same pitch as the shaft. will be placed
at the mouth OF the shaft and the plant
will be located below this trestle.
