MAYFLOWtR HAS ORE

month, after which the manage
ment will be enabled to speed up
its operations on all working
levels. A discovery that appears
to be of no little Importance was
made recently at the surface, at a
point some distance from the main
shaft, and ore of high grade was
followed down for some distance by
a prospect shaft, exposing a product
of excellent grade and apparently in
good volume.
The Mayflower property is equip
ped with a mill, which was used
by the old company and from which
a large production of bullion was
made in the earlier period of activ-
ity in this region. The property,
which has always been regarded by
mining men as a mine of great
value, was tied up by litigation for
several years, but through the in
strumentality of President Tobin a
clear title was finally obtained to
the property and the former stock
holders were offered the opportunity
to participate in the activities of
the new corporation.

Miner Has Narrow Escape

A. b. Cooke, a Tonopah miner,
had a narrow escape from being
killed a short time ago while at
work in a mine near millers. AS it
was, Cooke received a badly injur-
ed foot that will keep him from
work for some time. The failure of
a charge of powder to explode for
three hours was the peculiar cause
of the accident. In company with
other workmen Cooke had fired a
round of holes on the 20O-foot level
of the Carey mine and three hours
later re-entered the mine. AS he
neared the workings where the
charge had been placed n ot them
exploded and had it not been for the
fact that a large amount of rock
had accumulated in the drift it is
believed Cooke would have been
killed.

OIL FIELDS Of GREAT Value
MAY BE DEVELOPED in NEVADA

Recent discoveries made by r.
Wallace Mcneil, well-known mining
engineer of Tonopah, have caused
no little excitement at Tonopah,
which was followed by the organiza-
ton of a local company there to de-
velop the new fields. The discovery
was made about five miles east of
the head of Currant creek, in Nye
county. on the eastern side of the
.ange and only about so miles from
Ely; hence the development of a
successful field in that section
would naturally prove of vast bene-
fit to Ely in a business way, as the
district will be tributary to Ely in
stead of Tonopah.
In this new field the general con-
tour of the country, the out-crop-
pings, limestone formation and ma
rine deposits show true indications
of oil lands. Many samples of shale
have been brought to Ely from the
new fields, and some of the sam
Piles when broken have been found
to contain crude oil.
An organization has been incorpor-
ated at Tonopah, land obtained and
the preliminary work started. 1t is
the object to drill in this new dis
trict and if possible produce oil wells,
which work is now being carried on
as rapidly as possible.
With the many splendid reports of
government biologists on the shale
deposits of this state, it is only a
reasonable supposition that oil
fields will be found here with proper
development, in which event all in
dustries of the state would be quick
ened by leaps and bounds.
Geological conditions in this sec
ton are most favorable for oil, and
it is therefore among the possibili-
ties that eventually there will be
several oil districts proved to exist
in White Pine county. The possibili-
ties of this eventuality are worthy of
careful investigation by local people,
who are interested in the develop
ment of the country.
We all know that the shale beds
exist in this section, and we have
every reason to believe that they con-
tain oil deposits in commercial
quantity. 1t is therefore good bust
ness policy to encourage the devel-
opment of industries of this charac-
ter rather than to take chances
with untried fields in other
tries of which we know nothing ex-
cept the statement made by promot-
ers who are interested only in the
sale of stock.--Ely Record.

aged by results of recent work on
the 50O-foot level, southeast of the
main shaft. High assays have been
obtained in mine sampling, but more
careful platform sampling has shown
the average value of ore broken to be
too low to handle p~rofitably at
present. The formation at this point
is greatly broken, but conditions are
regarded as sufficiently encouraging
to warrant the hope that pay ore
will be found at this depth.
Red Hill Florence
Raises above the 5O0-foot level of
the Red Hill Florence mine continue
to expose large quantities of ore of
excellent mill grade, with occasional
limited amounts of shipping grade.
The main Florence vein is being ex-
plored in this ground and only a
short distance to the east, in Flor
ence territory, lessees are extracting
ore of high grade from a deposit that
appears to extend into Red Hill
Florence territory.

The wonderful success in bringing
in vast oil fields in Wyoming during
the past few months has created an
interest in the oil shales of Nevada,
which seem to present as favorable
opportunity for the development of
paying enterprises as those of Wy
oming. In fact, government geolo-
gists, after careful examination, have
made the prediction than Nevada's
possibilities along these lines are
even greater than that of any Other
state in the Union.
In Elko and Humboldt counties
there has been considerable excite
ment and actual development in the
shale beds of those sections, and the
probabilities now are that a consid-
cradle amount of development wo1k
will Immediately be Undertaken.
White Pine county, the eastern
portion of Nye and the northern sec
ton of Lincoln county are known to
contain vast fields of shale beds with
marine fossils and oil sands, which
scientists contend are almost a sure
indication of oil deposits. In fact,
hidden away in some of the cleavag-
es of these fossils have been found
pure oil in small quantities, which
appears to bear out the correctness
of the theories of biologists.
Some eight or ten years ago an
effort was made by Elko people to
develop the shale deposits of Cave
valley, in northern Lincoln county,
at which time favorable reports
were made by men of some emf
nence in the oil business. However,
at that time the oil wells of south
ern California were producing more
oil than could be disposed of at a
profit; hence the development work
as undertaken by local people was
abandoned, and the title to the
lands lapsed to the government.
But market conditions have ma
terially improved since that time, as
crude oil, as well as refined varie-
ties, have come into such general use
hal there is no longer a probability
of a material decline in price. At
the present time the allied govern
ments are fearful of a clash with
authorities at Tampico, Mexico,
where the principal oil supplies now
come from. But even with the sup
ply from these fields, there is dan
ger of a shortage which it is hoped
to overcome from new fields in the
United States and it is with this
object in view that the government
is now lending valued assistance in
the discovery and opening up of new
fields.

CUPID DECIDES
CASE FOR JUDGE
HON. J. EMMETT WALSH QUIET.
LY MARRIED IN
TONOPAH

Somewhere in Tonopah last even
irg District Judge ]. Emmett
Walsh and Mrs. Elizabeth A. Nc
Lean, a well-known local woman,
was married by District Judge Mark
r. Averill.
Although it was supposed the
Judge would eventually wed the
lady of his choice, with whom he
has been seen often during his lei
sure hours for a long time past, the
marriage at this time was unlock
ed for and a surprise to the numer-
Gus friends of the bride and groom.
That the judge intended to be
married should have been known
Yesterday afternoon and a fitting
celebration arranged by his friends
and it would have been known had
it not been for the fact that
Cupid" Myers has for years lived
ir constant dread of the strong
right arm of the judge.
When Cupid was reproacha6
this morning for not telling that
the Judge had secured a license and
told that he had lost all his friends
by not doing so, he said; Il MAJ
have lost my friends, but | saved
my life"
1t takes a big man in county af-
fairs to secure a license by what Is
known as the loose leaf system
and the judge did it. When
Cupid issued the license he also
tore the stub from the book.
1t is believed the judge and his
bride expected to stay in Tonopah
last night, but it is understood from
telephone messages received here
that Attorney NJ. M. Detch and
others discovered the marriage and
endeavored to find him, which led
the judge to return here.
The newly married couple left on
the morning train for Los Angeles.
Judge Walsh never can say that
Judge Averill had not aided and
allotted the marriage to the best of
his ability. Some months ago when
Mrs. McLain applied for a divorce
Judge Averill came to Goldfield and
sitting for Judge Walsh, who may
have been biased in the case, grant
ed a decree. Last evening he unit
ed in matrimony the woman to
whom he had granted the divorce
and the judge who was unable to
pass judgment in the case.
Judge Walsh is 43 years of age
and as he is generally considered the
handsomest of county officials,
which would not be high praise
we're it not for the fact that he far
pas the others. it is consider
ed remarkable by his host of friends
that he has escaped matrimony I'M
til that age.
