Sha|e Deposits of fIko are
Pronounced Rich in Paraffin

but little work has been done on
the shaft due to the fact that drill
ing is extremely difficult, in fact
almost impossible, because the shaIe
is very tough and springy. An
anger operated by machinery has
been ordered and is now In transit
and this will solve the drilling prob
lem. AS soon as it arrives work on
the shaft will be prosecuted vigor-
ously and it will be sunk a couple
of hundred feet. If the shale con
tinues to that depth and holds the
same oil content and other by-pro-
ducts, it will reveal one of the
greatest shale propositions in the
world.
1t is a we'll known fact that the
shale in this section is the richest
in the United States If not in the
world. In Bulletin CALF, issued
by the department of the interior,
and entitled "Oil Shale in North
western Colorado and Other States"
there is a table showing the re-
suits of distillation of samples of
oil shale collected in 1914 from
Utah, Wyoming and Nevada. This
table shows from Elko shale al
equivalent yield of S6.8 gallons
per ton, while the greatest yield OF
any other shale is 29.4 gallons.
The highest yield OF ammonia sui
plate from Elko shale is 1872
pounds per ton, while the highest
yield of any other shale is nine
pounds. The highest yield of gas
from Elko shale is given at 1891
cubic feet, while the highest yield
of any other shale is 2.97S cubic
feet. The paraffin content is not
given but from various tests which
have been made it has been found
that about 80 per cent of the oil
extraction is paraffin.
Heretofore the opinion seems to
have prevailed that the shale bodies
in this section are comparatively
small. This is due to the fact that
little development work has been
done, and the outcrop in most
places is small, varying from five
to 20 feet. In the Burner Basin
claims the shale body is probably
as large as any in existance con-
tanning oil of paraffin base.-Elke

INSTALLATION PLANJ
TO TREAT OIL SHALE


The first tangible proof that the
ElkO oil shale beds are coming into
their own Is the announcement in
an Ogden paper of the aims of the
Standard Oil Shale company, with
headquarters at Salt Lake City,
who that they will erect
at Elko a 100-ton distillation plant,
to be in operation as 500 as pos
sible.
The company has control of sew
eral thousands of acres of shale
land in this county, and recently
purchased from Oscar Streeter and
associates, a claim lying south of
town, adjoining the Catlin claim.
just across the river. 1t Is on this
claim the plant will be erected, and
this morning j. j. Van Allen, the
local representative, stated that in
a few days Otto Stalmann would
be out from Salt Lake to take
charge and supervise the erection
of the plant.

During the past several days a
large number of test runs have been
made from shale from the claims
owned by Frank Middleton, Bruce
Brothers and Nick Simonsen, located
II. Burner Basin, about four miles
due EAST of ElkO, and in every in
stance phenomenal extraction was
made. The result in the poorest
sample tested showed an oil content
of 40 gallons to the ton, and from
this it has run as high as los gal
Ions to the ton. The average Is bet
ter than 60 gallons to the ton.
Different from most of the shale
bodies in this section which lie on
an incline in lodges of various thick
ness, the shale in the claims refer
red to above lies perfectly flat, and
from all indications it is several
hundred feet in thickness. A shaft
is now being sunk to determine the
extent of the body and it is down
10 feet. At that point the shale is
richer than on the surface and
there is nothing to indicate that 1t
will not continue to indefinate dis
lance. The shale is Overburdened
with decomposition about a foot
thick due to exposure to the ele-
ments. The shaft shows that at a
depth of about six feet there is a
seam of clay about eight inches in
thickness, and from there down it
is an unbroken solid mass.
The claims are on a knoll stand
ing up a couple of hundred feet
above the surrounding country. This
knoll contains from 60 to 70 acres
and on every foot of it shale is en-
countered at a depth of not ore
than Is inches. In the washes at
the bottom on all sides shale Is ex-
posed, indicating that the body Is
at least as deep as the knoll.
Near the bottom on the east side
a well was sunk for oil a number
of years ago to a depth of over ESQ
feet and the clippings dump from
this we'll indicate that the shale
body extends to a great depth.
Every mining man who has looked
at the claims agrees that there Is
every reason to believe hat millions
of tons can be mined with steam
shovels.

JEWISH BATTALION.
TRAINING IN
ENGLAND
FINE BODY OF MEN TO LEAVE
FOR PALESTINE
FRONT

LONDON, Dec. 81. - The new
Jewish battalion of the British army
Is now encamped for its final train
ing period on a hillside in the west
of England. Early in the New Year
it will leave for the Palestine front.
The battalion Is under the COM
mand of Colonel J. H. Patterson, an
lrishman and a great lion hunter
in East Africa in the days before
the war. His experience in COM
mand of Jewish troops dates back
to the Gallipoli campaign, where he
was in charge of the famous Zion
mule corps, formed in Egypt of
After the close Of the Dardanelles
campaign. the Zion corps was dis
banded, but some of it's members
managed to make their way to
England and form the nucleus of
the new Jewish battalion.
AS at present constituted, about
SO per cent of the Jewish battalion
are B%ritish-born or naturalized. The
remainder includes the members of
the old Zion mule corps, a large
number of Russian Jews, and a
curious melange from several allied
and neutral countries. The level Of
physical fitness. according to the
medical officers. Is very high, par
tiCularly in such matters as teeth
and eyesight.
The battalion is practically tee-
total, and a wet canteen which was
opened In camp a few weeks ago
was closed in a fortnight for lack OF
business. Colonel Patterson himself
is an ardent temperance advocate.
Crime in the army" he said the
other day, lis due to drink and moth
ing else. This is shown by the fact
that our guardroom has been empty
practically from the start, and you
would have to travel around many
training camps to see the like. The
disused cells have been turned into
bedrooms for the guards"
The food served is strictly Kosh-
er. Saturday is the day off instead
of Sunday, and all the fast days are
observed with as much ceremony as
the military atmosphere will permit.

NIXON NEVADA
EXTENDS WORK
CARS TO ITS
TANKS

COPPERFIEED, New, Dec. 26.-
A new large Cameron station pump
has been ordered for the Nixon-Ne-
vada mine to handle any increased
flow of water that may occur, and
as soon as 1t is installed a winze
will be started on the No. 1 vein
at a point about 100 feet from the
cross-cut. Here there is an un-
usually good showing, with punches
and streaks of almost pure chal-
cocite in the oxidized ores, and the
management is anxious to deter
mine its extent.
Stopping is in progress on the No.
Q vein, the present workings being
about Is feet from the cross-cut
The ore produced is of the same
high-grade that is characteristic of
the Nixon-Nevada.
1t is evident that the mineraliza-
ton from the No. 4 vein extends in
tc the wall rock at the lower level
much further than it does from the
other veins. The cross-cut still
shows lots of iron and copper
stains but recent surveys indicate
that 1t will have to be run con-
siderably further before the vein
Is reached.
Mr.. Jefferson, manager of the
Nixon-Nevada, has gone to the coast
to make a new contract for fuel oil
for the coming year. He hopes tc
better even his present favorable
one and with the Western Pacific
station within a mile of the storage
reservoirs, as 1t will be shortly, the
oil will be delivered at the mine al
a minimum cost. Eventually a pipe
line will be laid to convey the oil
by gravity from the tank cars di.
rect to the storage reservoirs at the
mine, which will eliminate the wa
gon haul and still further reduce
| the cost.
The rails have been laid on the
Western Pacific roadbed within 9
mile Of Copperfield and, though
there has been some delay, 1t will
not be long after the first of the
year when the broad-gauging will
be completed and the troubles in
cident to a narrow-gauge railroad
be a thing of the past.

INCOME TAXES TO

}, At ONCE
INFORMATION ON INCOMES
MUST BE GIVEN TO
COLLECTORS

WASf1lNG lON, ". u, Oec. IL.
The great task of gathering income
tax and excess profits returned will
begin with the new year tomorrow.
Every unmarried person earning
more than $1,000 during the last
year, and every married person or
head of a family who made more
than $4,000, must file with the in
ternal venue collector of his dis
trict a report any time between to-
morrow and March 1. He will be
notified before June 1 of the tax
due and payment will be due by
June Is.
The government expects to re-
ceive $1,201, O00,0O0 from income
taxes before July 1, including $685.
OoO, 1000 from individuals and $685.
100000 from corporations. This is
more than one third Of the $3,400,-
100000 estimated receipts under
the wal venue act passed by con-
gress at the last session.
From excess profits taxes, the
government expects to realize about
$1,22O,OOO 900 before July /.
The rate of tar for a married
man or the head of a family is 2
per cent on the amount Of his net
income exceeding $4,000, but less
than $4,000, and 4 per cent on the
amount of his net income above
$4,000 but less than $4,000. An un-
married person not the head of a
family will pay 2 per cent on the
amount of net income above $1,000
but less than $4,000, and 4 per cent
on the net income above $4,000 but
less than $4,000.
An extra levy, or surtax, In ad-
dition to the normal tax, is imposed
on incomes above $4,000, so that
the amount of income between $5,-
900 and $500 is subject to a total
income tax, including both normal
and extra, of S per cent; and be-
tween $500 and $4,000, six per
cent. The surtax further increases
with higher incomes, SO that
amounts of $1:OOO,OO0 are taxable
to 65 per cent with n per cent ad-
,ditional for each half million up to
1.-TWO million dollars. All incomes
tfier the latter amount are tax
xe}ble at 81 per cent.
= Typical income tax levies on
heads of families are as follows:
Income of $500, tax is $40; income
of $4,000, tax is $40; income of 49,
600, tax Is $50; income of $4,000,
tax is $50; income of $4,000, tax
is $50; income of $4,000, tax is $50.
Unmarried persons would pay in
this way; Income of $500, tax is
$40; income of $4,000, tax is $40;
income of $500, tax is $50; in
come of $4,000, tax is $40; income
OF $500, tax is $50; income OF
$4,000, tax is $50; income of $4,000,
tax is 800; income of $4,000, tax
is 1920.
Taxes may be paid in foul Install
ments between now and June 15,
il this arrangement is preferred,
but the treasury will open a deter
mined campaign soon to encourage
persons to pay their tax in full i'm
m%ediately, and receive interest or

SCHOOL FOR CARD PLAYERS.

T. ]. G, says; A has the ace of dia-
monds among his hearts and discards
two clubs on the declarer's diamond
leads. At the end of the hand the claim
is for two revokes. This A declines to
agree to as 1t Is impossible for him
to have made two revokes with only
one card. and also because the declarer
actually gained a trick by winning two
diamonds against the ace.
1t is not the number of cards of a
suit that one has In hand that decides
tho revoke. but the number of times one
fails to follow suit when able to ,lo so.
II A failed to follow suit once, holding
a diamond. that Is a revoke. II he tailed
to follow suit again, still holding o dia-
mond. that Is also a revoke. The con-
sequence of revokes are not entered
into. and ME fact that the declarer made
an extra diamond trick, giving HIM an
advantage, does not prevent him from
exacting the penalty.
