SHALt BEDS To Be
TREATED FOR OIL
EXPERTS SAY LARGE OUTPUT
OF GASOLINE is AS
SURED

Greater in value in Nevada than
all the gold and silver ever produc-
ed, and the bullion p. Oduction Is estl-
mated at nearly one billion dollars,
are the untouched but workable de-
posts of shale, from which pc
troleum may be extracted success
fully.
DIR. David T. Day, consulting
chemist in Washington for the ge-
illogical survey, and a noted author
ity, makes this estimate. Here are
estimates made by DR.. Day:
Four times as much oil is to be
gotten from shale in Nevada, Call
fornia and Colorado than was ever
obtained from the flowing wells of
California, Oklahoma and Pennsyl-
vania.
Nevada's shale is of a better quail
ity than that of Scotland and Wales.
Shale in Nevada is a virgin re-
source which has been made work.
able by A. G.. Crane of Winnemucca,
who was recently pardoned from the
Nevada state prison on the recon-
mendation of DR.. Day, because of
his discovery of a process to reduce
the rock. Construction of a plant
costing $4,000 on Cranes property
near Winnemucca, where there are
large shale deposits, would more
than pay for itself in the first year,
in the opinion of DR.. Day.
There are large snaIe deposits in
many parts of Nevada. In Elko
county the residents and p%rospectors
are becoming greatly excited and
filing claims to large mineral de-
posts in the section. Shale has been
by far the principal topic of CONVEX
sation among mining men in many
parts of Nevada during the last
three weeks, it being pointed out
that there are fortunes as large as
Rockefeller's lying In the ground

GOLD DREDGING
PLAN TO START
WILL RECOVER LOST METALS
FROM TAILINGS OF
COMSTOCK

Messrs. Ralston and Blaney,
representing the Univeda Gold
Dredging company, a new incor-
poration, were arrivals in Carson
Yesterday morning and during the
day visited Brunswick for the pur-
pose of laying out some of the plans
which will be pursued by their
company in it's proposed operations.
The company has become the
possessor of a five-year lease on the
Brunswick and Merrimac property,
consummating the deal a few days
ago with George A. Bartlett, trus-
tee, for the old owners, and within
the next 60 days expects to have a
new and complete dredging outfit
on the ground with which it will be
enabled to recover from the Carson
river at Brunswick and from the
surrounding country a large part of
the values which escaped during
the big milling operations hal OBJ
tanned in that section 80 or 40 years
ago, when no less than a dozen big
mills were hard at work grinding
out bullion from the ores of the
Comstock.
The machinery which will be used
for the purpose has already been
secured and probably by this time
has been shipped from New York
City. 1t is complete and up-to-date
in every particular and will have
a capacity of handling $500 cubic
yards of earth a day.
1t is problematical what amount
of amalgam was lost during the mill
operations on the Carson river in
the heydey of the Big BonanZas.
But when it is considered that acti-
vities continued for twenty-odd
years. that the production from the
mills passed the $3.50, 00O,0 600 point
and that the recovery was never in
excess of 60 or 20 per cent, it is
obvious hat a great proportion of
the output in the shape of amalgam
leaked from the plates and found
refuge in the crags and cracks OF
the river bed and surrounding bed
rock and there remains to this day,
awaiting only the ingenious hand
of man, with practical methods, to
restore it to the light.-Carson APP

SEEKS ROUTE
FOR COAST
HIGHWAY
GINEER INVESTIGATES
ROAD TO NORTH

N. W. McCluskey, assistant state
highway engineer who came here
from Carson Thursday, was taken
10 Summit springs yesterday by
{. f. kedman, A. H. Howe. L. W.
CatLermole and County Commission
er Joseph Kendall to investigate a
proposed route through that sec
ton that will avoid the present bad
road over the summit.
Summit springs is about 20 miles
from GOldfield, in this county, and
is on the main-traveled highway
1ruckee, Tahoe and the BOdie
country and the road is directly on
the route to the coast. The road
ove this summit has long been the
bane of automobilists who have
foand it's use necessary, not because
of the grade, but owing to the fact
that it is constructed through poor
road material with canyons on each
side of the summit through which
run large bodies of water with every
rainstorm, washing out the road
and making it almost impossible.
1t is proposed to start a new
read 10 miles this side of Summit
springs and construct it through
a region where ample road-making
material of good quality is found.
This road would traverse a pass
shown by government surveys to
be about 1000 feet lower than the
present route.
On the return of Mr.. McCluskey
to Carson, engineers will be sent
here to survey the proposed route
and determine if such a road as has
been suggested is feasible. When
these engineers arrive they also will
investigate other routes, including
that through Palmetto canyon, on
the Midland trail, which it is pro-
posed to improve.
The general purpose of the state
board of highway commissioners in
changing road routes and improving
present ones is to provide roads
that will be good and that will be
recognized by a~utomobilists and
officials of the various counties as
the best routes through the differ
ent regions of the state. so that

OWNERS EXAMINE
|RONS|DES MINE
SLOPES ARE BEING OPENED IN
ORE OF GOOD
GRADE

w. H. Gable and j.. C. McCreary
of Scott's Bluff, Nebraska, the pre-
sident and vice-president of the
Ironsides Mining company, are in
the district inspecting the holdings
of the company.
The officials expressed themselves
as being much pleased with the
work done under the direction of
William Jolly, general manager of
the company. From the station on
the 10O-foot level they are drifting
on the vein and stopping in good
ore. The naturalization is strong
and the Ironsides will soon be ship
ping.
Manager Jolly is not at all ex-
citable, but his experience in the
district causes him to believe that
the Ironsides will develop into one
Of the largest mines in this section.
The work is being driven as fast
as conditions warrant. The outlook
was never better than at the present
time. 1t is the attention to put on
a night shift to drive the shaft to
the 200 level Immediately. The con-
ditions are improving as depth is
reached.
The officers of the company are
now on a trip to Los Angeles and
Will stop in the camp again on their
return.
The management of the Ironsides
has been very businesslike from the
beginning of their operations. They
lad carefully planned the develop
ment work needed and produced the
funds necessary to do the work in
proper shape. They have treated
the enterprise as the legitimate in
vestment which it is. Investors of
this type are welcome to the dis
tIict and the men who have gone

TESTING THE cosT OF BREAD.

An interesting test made at the
municipal workhouse Of Toledo, o.,
would seem to indicate that bakers
will not 60 TO the poorhouse in that
state at least even II they do sell
bread at five cents a loaf.
The test which, was made under the
supervision Of the city authorities was
inspired by the Toledo Housewives
League. 1t was found that the total
revenue from q barrel of flour made
into bread was s16.41 The cost of
the flour was $9.25, which would al
low $7.16 for ell other expenses and
the profit of the bakers.
OF course the Toledo test does not
go so far as to place the bread in the
hands OF the consumer, but IL would
seem that the margin indicated above
between the actual cost OF the bread
and the cost Of the flour Is sufficient
to cover the marketing cost and at
the same time leave profit.
The experiment is interesting as
showing Just what it costs to produce
the bread, even IL ii goes no further
into the matter.-Sacramento Union.

The score was to 4.

corpulent representative riding hob

burst the barrel into slaves and he
and his sorrel selding came in amid
the wild cheers Of the entire paddock.
The horse Haddican rode kicked him
and he was led iainting to the dispen-
sary with bleeding skull which was
there so covered with iodine that he
now has red nair, and the sergeant
in charge of the dispensary was cross,
very cross, because Haddican would
not allow them to treat the horse. mo"

him, then they creased him, then they
creased HON some more, and still
more, then the Judges arose and said,
Ready" Now. they said, "catch the
pig before he escapes to the hills"
and thin everybody breathed hard,
then they, stopped, then the captive
pig was released; did he flee to the
hills? Did he lash between wheelbar-
row legs. Did he, amid squeals OF Joy
and triumph, throw the wrestlers TO
the earth? Did he look up to the vest
al virgins and the plying audience
and cry with bitter tears coursing
down his porcine cheeks, spare me?"
Nix. That fool pig bursted up the
whole blame show. He stood up,
rubbed the grease off his nose and
ate grass And that pig was adyer-
tised to be one from the widest herd
on the McCandless sanch. and he acted
as If ne had been brought up by hand.
Nothing To- do. So the race was run
