FIND OIL SHALE
NEAR EASTGATE
..DIAMONDFIELD JACK" DAVIS
ON GROUND AT NEW
DISCOVERY

A discovery that promises to out
rank in Importance to the State of
Nevada any that have been made
in the mineral field, is that of a
rich oil bearing shale about So
miles EAST of Fallon and about
three miles south of the Loncoln
highway near the East Gate ranch.
The belt Of oil shale lands has
so far been traced over a length of
about 10 miles and has a known
width of about four miles. The
discovery was made by George
Baker, George Schweiss, F.. M. Dun
can and Ed. Kavanaugh recently
and they have interested a num-
Der of Reno people with them.
Diamondfield Jack Davis, who
has recently visited the scene of the
discovery states that he is informed
by one of the discoveries that tests
recently made at the university
show IS gallons of oil to the ton
of shale. The samples so far taken
are from the surface and as the
oil is volatile, it is only reasonable
to presume that there has been a
considerable loss in natural leach
ing and that depth would increase
this yield to more than double.
Such is the lay of the land that
the material can be handled by
steam shovel and experiments have
demonstrated that 1t can be treat
ed for about 81 per ton. AS the
supply of the oil-bearing shale is
practically inexhaustible, 1t would
seem that the development of the
field presents great possibilities and
will solve the fuel problems OF this
great inter-mountain region now
dependent on outside coal and oil
fields for their supply.
The extracted oil is said to have
a paraffin base and is high grade,
while the shale burns readily and
can be used for fuel in the process
of extraction.
A large section of the country
has already been located. but ma
turally the value Of these lands will
depend upon the erection of a dis
tillation plant, the plans for which
are said to be already under way.
The people of this section will
watch developments with consider
lie interest.-Fallon Standard.

PNEUMONIA TAKES
WELL KNOWN MAN
PROMOTER AND PATRON OF
SPORTS DIED SATURDAY
AFTERNOON

John J.. MCGEE, n of the pio-
neers Of Goldfield and generally
known over the state as a promoter
and patron of sports, died at 4
o'clock Saturday afternoon of pneu-
mona, following an illness of about
one week. He had been in poor
health for many months and con-
tlacted a cold that, owing to his
weakened condition. quickly devel-
oped into pneumonia and resulted
in his death.
The death of MCGEE marks the
RAISING of another of the men who
made and colored the early-day his
tory of Goldfield. A Canadian by
Lirth, he came to this country when
a small child and had lived his ELI
tire life in the west, mining and in
the cattle business for many years
before coming here, and his life
bad many interesting chapters.
Many years ago he was a profess
sional ball player on a m~iddle-west-
ern circuit and was always inter
ested in the game.
During his career he made and
lost a number of fortunes and his
varied life, in the ourse of which
he knew what 1t was to be both on
top and at the bottom, made of him
a typical westerner of a type often
! seen and there is no one who knew
him who has not remarked since
his death that his greatest virtue
lay in his loyalty to his friends,
which men who knew him intimate
ly say led him to often give aid, H.
nancial and otherwise, at times
when he was poorly equipped to dc

The big vein recently cut in the

The vein was cut into 2S5 feet

entirely different from any surface
groupings as it is principally a red
oxide in a quartz porphyry with
values running high in silver, while
on the surface the gold values pre-
dominated with only traces of silver
and a high per cent of copper.

a conservative miner is beyond

work, is greatly pleased with the

John S. Cook bank is agent in

On Jan. IL the board of directors
of the Nevada Federation held a
meeting at the home of Mrs. F. H..
Norcross of Reno. After a short
session Mrs. Norcross served a
dainty luncheon. At the conclu-
sion of this the board resumed its
work. Attention was called to the
fact that all Federation dues must
be paid by March l and that many
clubs had failed to pay their SIS tax.
This money should be SEN to Mrs. j.
Campbell, 33 California avenue,
Reno, the recording secretary.
Plans for the printing of the new
year book were discussed and the
committee of last year was retained
to attend to the matter this year.
The following members of the board
were appointed on the program
committee for the next Federation
meeting, to be held at Lovelock:
Mrs. J.. e. Church of Reno; Mrs.
George West, Yerington; Miss Emma
Vanderleith, Reno: Mrs. J.. r. Mes
kimmons, Reno; Mrs. S. ID. Eubank,
Goldfield. This committee plans to
give one afternoon to the mothers
for the benefit and interest of the
Mothers clubs.
Mrs. Church, chairman of revis-
ion, called attention to the fact that
the constitution did not make pro-
visions for the office of state fed
Grafton director-created at the last
biennial-and that steps would be
taken to adjust this matter accord
ing to the provisions of the consti-
tuition. There are also several other
defects on which she will make
statements at a later date.
In order that the departments
might not be hampered with finan-
cial difficulties, a finance commit
tee was appointed to reapportion all
money under a budget system. This
committee requests hat all heads of
departments report just what they
need in moneys and materials to run
their department for three months.

Prevailing conditions in the deep
levels of the Northend Comstock
mines indicate that the year 1918
will witness a most substantial in
crease in the bullion production over
the year just closed, and that other
producers will join the Union Con. in
the regular shipment of ore to the
mill.
The present development in Sierra
Nevada is held to be the most i'm
portant in recent years in that
property, and the vein exposed In
the northeast drift on the $500 level
apparently hold out great promise.
Samples taken show rich streaks in
the vein and with the predominating
silver values, permanence is strongly
assured.
The vein is in a big block of vir-
gin ground and consequently the
outlook is exceptionally favorable.
This week the company is installing
air pipe and other equipment to
take up the work of exploring the
vein.
The Union Con. is maintaining the
average extraction of good grade
ore from the 24O0 level slopes this
week and has started driving north
from the $500 east raise, and con-
tinuing to raise. The raise will be
carried to connect with the 240O lev
ell for ventilation purposes and to
f facilitate operations. This drift to
the north is following the hanging
wall to determine the length OF the
ore shoot at this point, and the sd
vance is showing excellent values,
a samples running from $25 to
$3.50 to the ton.
This development is adding daily
