Thomas F. McGeary, a merchant
OF Duckwater. who is now visiting
the city. states that the possibilities
for developing oil in Sand Springs
valley. about thirty miles west of
Duckwater. has been the means of
attracting large number of pros
pectors to the district, and that some
strong companies have recently been
organized by Tonopah people. which
are expected to commence drilling
wells within short time. From all
reports the geological conditions in
Sand Springs valley are ideal for oil,
and much capital is now going into
the district. Sand Springs valley ex-
tends into the southwestern corner
of White Pine County. where oil To-
cations have also been made. Ely
