SELLING STOCK IN LAHONTAN
OIL COMPANY. NEAR FALLON

George A. Robson is at the Over
land hotel this city. for the purpose
of selling stock in the Lahontan Oil
e Gas Company, operating in the Fal-
Ion district He will probably be here
the rest of this week.
The Lahontan company owns about
5000 acres of land in the Lindner oil
field. east of Fallon, 1000 acres of
which are part of the original Lind
ner holdings. Robson says drilling
is ON the way and sinking
will start within two weeks.
Test holes less than one hundred
feet down give out gas which, when
ignited, shoots a flame several feet
in the air. Two reports have been
made on the property, one by Orlando
D. Barton, the man accredited with
making the Coalingo oilfields, and the
other by " r. Garfiis, Union Oil Conn
pany experts They recommended
drills capable of going 5000 feet be
purchased and consequently such
equipment has been ordered.
The reports say the formation is
identical with oil-bearing shales of
Coalinga, Lost Hills and Fullerton oil
fields in California. Mr. Robson says
candidly the work is now entirely in
the nature of gamble, but If one well
can be brought in large fortunes will
be made for buyers.

TELLS HOW STOCK
WAS MANIPULATED

Editor. Carson News: Mrs. Jas.
Page. writing to the San Francisco
Chronicles Safety Valve" asks why
the arrangements of the Union, Ophir
and Con. Va. did not give the public
an inkling of their discoveries of rich
ore, so that they might pay the as
sessment levied, and hold on to their
shares. She shows that weeks ago.
Con. Virginia sold for two cents a
share, Ophir seven cents and Union
five cents, and that they levied assess
their treasures, retained a lot. and
then advertised their strikes. My
recollections with reference to such
deals runs back to 1869, and / find
nothing different in the present deal
from any of its predecessors. | will

doomed without further advertising.
Others did the same at other times.
The New York contained rich ore in
small punches. and they saved a
large quantity by storing it in the
mines openings, and then made a
run, and the stock doomed. This mode
was not uncommon. About 1SS7-SS,
the Chollar- Potosi was running a
southerly drift on level a little
above the Sutro tunnel level, and the
face of the drift now and then pene-
trated good ore, but would soon get
out of it. When they finally reached
small body large enough to bury
the entire face of the drift, work was
stopped at that point. an extensive
preparation made for milling in large
quantities, and an advertising cam
paign started. and holders of large
blocks of the stock went over the
state, "unconcernedly" dropping hints
and tips about rich strike, milling
arrangements, ETC., and generally
embarrassing their friends. The

MINING DECISION OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE

Millions are involved and many
mining companies in the country are
affected by decision of the United
States Supreme Court handed down
at Washington Monday. A body blow
was delivered to all producing COM
panies whose use of the Minerals
Separation process involved them in
the technicalities of the courts hold
ing. More than two and a half mill
lions of dollars have been expended
in the litigation which was ended by
the supreme court decree reversing
the decision of the circuit court of
appeals at San Francisco which held
that the Minerals Separation COM
pany's patents covered the so-called
fiotation process when limited to the
use of one-half of one per cent, or
less. of OIL Mineral Separation had
held that their patents covered any
fraction of one per cent The court
upholds that contention.
In December, 1916, the United
vor of Minerals Separation, Ltd,
against Hyde, upholding the patent
of the Minerals Separation process,
which was patented in 1905 after the
discovery of the process for produc-
ing a mineral-bearing froth as the
result of the use of oil and mechani-
cal agitation. In April, 1917, the
United States district court at Butte,
decided that the case against the
Butte & Superior was identical with
that against Hyde
In August, 1917, the same court
handed down a decision that the
| Butte & Superior Mining Company,
by use of more oil in flotation than
was used in the Minerals Separation
patent, was merely an attempt to
avoid the patent, and the mining COM
pany was ordered to furnish a bond
of So, 100000 and to deposit all of
its earnings above actual operating
expenses, with the court, until an
appeal had finally been adjudicated.
In May. 1918, the United States
circuit court of appeals at San Fran
cisco decided favorably on an appeal
from the decision of the district court
at Butte, and the following month
the United States court at Helena re-
voked the injunction against the min
ing company ordered by the higher
court, thus relieving the Butte & Su-
perior of th necessity of making
such deposits and monthly reports.
providing the company used more
than one half of one per cent of oil,
or more than ten pounds of petro-
leum to a ton of ore treated by the
fiotation process. A writ of certiorari
was granted to the Minerals Separa-
ton Company, and an order was made
restraining the Butte & Superior from
disposing of its assets, pending the
final decision by the supreme court,
which has just been recorded.
The American Mining Congress has
| filed with the federal trade commits
sion a complete brief in support of its
charge that the Minerals Separation
Company, by its business methods
and the onerous terms of its license
contracts, is using unfair methods of
competition and asks the right to in
| tervene in behalf of the mining in
dustry of the West. This brief is now
under consideration by the federal
trade commission.
