place the new fields almost beyond
speculative assurance and lead US to
hope our state will soon be numbered
among the oil producers.
The region recently discovered is
tributary to Ely, being about forty
five miles southwest of her, and nat
urally will be watched anxiously by
all our business men as the bringing
In of oil In White Pine County, would
mean millions of dollars of outside
capital being brought into the coun-
ty, and Is Therefore deserving of sup
port from this community.
A company has already been incor-
porated by some of Tonopah's lead
ing citizens, who have already secur-
cd $40 acres of what they consider
the ost desirable land for drilling
operations and will rush development
work as quickly as possible.
The company is known as the Ne
vada Oil and Refining company and
has for its officers the following we'll
known mining men: r. Wallace
McNeill. president; R. J.. Highland,
vice president; r. p. Dunlap, secre-
tary and treasurer, with Senator Zeb
Kendall and c. F. Wittenberg for d.
rectors, and already preliminary
work has been started.
E. z. Dubreuil recently arrived
from the new fields and is stopping
at the Northern hotel. He brought
In many fine samples of shale in
which marine deposits and fossils are
very pronounced. Some of the shale
has petroleum running out of the
crevases. He is kept quite busy
showing these samples, but is always
pleased to have interviews.
IN supporting the endeavors to
bring In oil in White Pine county
the progress made by these men will
be watched with interest by the peo-
pie of the county and 1t is sincerely
hoped they will meet with abundant
success, not only for the benefit to
this locality but also because 1t will
be answering the call of the United
States government recently made.
