SWOpE MAKING
BRILLIANT RACE
Young Army Captain Stirs 9Th
District

Capt. King Swope, of Danville, is
making one of the most spirited cam
paigns ever conducted in this state in
his race for Congress in the Eighth
District Captain Swope is a young
lawyer, well-known thTuout the state
for him, is the confidentj assertion of
and is also veteran of the world war.
The campaign which he is conducting
against his Democratic opponent
Judge Charles A. Hardin, is creating
a highly favorable impression among
politicians in all parts of the state.
There is every reason why Captain
Swope should win, with handsome
majority, altho the Eighth District is
normally Democratic. All reports in
dictate that the young veteran is max
ing deep impression turnout the en-
tire district because of his youthful
energy, the marked ability with which
he is endowed, and in the progressive
policies he. is advocating.
Hundreds of Democrats will vote
for him, in the confident assertion Of
his friends, because with a Republi-
can Congress in power he would be in
position to do something for his dis
trict. He is making an especially
strong appeal to the soldier vote along
this line; and while he is not seeking
office because he was a soldier, yet
he appreciates the needs of the SOL
diers, it is asserted, and is in favor
of granting them three months extra
pay when discharged. He pledges
to vote and protect their in
terests.
Judge Hardin has held public office
for twenty-five years, it is claimed,
and the people of his district are be-
lieved to be in favor of electing a |
younger man, who has all the quail
fications of brilliant achievement to
represent them in the next Con-
yress. Adv.1t

NEVADA WONDER TO
QUIT PERMANENTLY

James M. Keir and Claude Porter
field, late of Wonder, passed through
Austin recently on a prospecting and
hunting trip, says the Austin Reveille.
From Austin they went to Eureka,
thence to Ely and Tonopah. Mr.. Por-
terfield has been the engineer at the
Nevada Wonder mine for several
years, and Mr.. Keir has for many
years conducted the general merchan-
disc store at the little camp with the
n big mine. Mr.. Keir has closed
out his business and is looking for
an opening.
He says the Nevada Wonder mine,
which has produced five or six mil
lions of dollars worth of gold and
silver, is about to close down and so
out of business, so far as the camp
of Wonder is concerned, the great
lode, which carried values to a depth
of 1900 feet. having been worked out,
so far as can be told. Though they
are still working. the cleanup of the
mill is about done, and when this is
done, unless plans are changed, the
power will be shut off and the great
electric transmission line dismantled.
There are, however. several other
properties in the district which, with
development, should make as great
or greater mines as the Nevada Won
der. Some Eastern men have pur-
chased the Spider and Wask property.
which during the boom days was con-
sidered the best surface showing IN
the district. and undoubtedly will do
considerable development work be-
fore they allow the good old camp TO
become a memory.
The Goldfeld strike and the bank
failures which followed caused the
company which owned the ground to
shut down work, and they have never
been able to resume The property
was finally sold under the hammer
for debts contracted, and the new
owners purchased from the creditor
who took it over for debt.

SILVER To ADVANCE
PERHAPS FOR YEARS

Charles L. Van River, a broker of
New York, in a market letter has the
following to say regarding silver and
its future:
Silver is now at its highest price
in sixty years, and experts tell us
that the high prices are here to stay,
as the world war has caused infia-
ton in the currency systems of the
beli1gerent countries amounting to
more than $35O,O0 900, 900, not includ-
ing the fiat money issued by the Boil
sheviki in Russia, and there is not
sufficient precious metal to back up
this currency.
Gold has almost gone out Of circu-
lation and there is barely two per
cent of gold now in the world in pro-
portion to the currency in circulation.
Therefore silver is in great demand
and it's production has greatly de-
creased because of the former low
price of the metal. AS recently as
1915 it sold below 4S cents per unce
This low price discouraged silver
mining in this country-in fact, COM
PEELED most of the old silver mines
to close down.
Silver reserves of the United States
have been depleted from $772, sos, 391
in 1917 t. $30S, 145, 739 ON September
l, 1919.
1t took ten years for the govern
ment to accumulate this reserve.
1t is equivalent to almost two years
world production.
The United States government must
purchase 270. 00O. 900 ounces of silver
shipped to India this year.
The worlds annual consumption of
silver for trade with India and China,
coinage. and for the arts and indus
tries. is in excess of 800, 000, 900 or.
The worlds annual production is
now about 100. 0O0, 900 ounces.
An annual shortage of 140, 000, 900
ounces.
The United States and Mexico hold
the greatest deposits of silver in the
world. but present conditions in Mex
leo have forced all of the big mines
there to close, and they will not re-
open until conditions there become
normal under a stable government.
This may be many years. judging
from present indications. Therefore
the world must look to the United
States for the bulk of its silver sup
ply. and the sweltering hordes of In
dia and China want silver more than
anything else in the world. They do
not understand paper currency.
We predict that silver will continue
gradually to enhance in value for
many years to come. and even 81 PEI
ounce is not al all an impossibilitY.
This means a great renewal of ac-
tivity in many of the old silver m mes
in this country and the opening up of
hundreds of new ones. In fact. the

RICH ORE REPORTED FOUND
IN OLD NINE NEAR GERLACH

News of a rich strike of high grade
silver and lead ore in the old Silver
Bell mine, located in Washoe county
nineteen miles north of Gerlach was
brought to Reno last Tuesday by
Thornton Read and associates, who
have been working the old property
for some time. says the Reno Gazette.
Read said they have five feet of ore
that averages $50 per ton. A tunnel
has been driven a distance of 800
feet. The property formerly was
owned and operated by Steve Johns.

ON SUBJECT OF OIL

After spending nearly three weeks
in making observations at different
points within the Lahontan basin, A.
E. Wiley. geologist. who recently IA
vorably passed upon the oil
of the Fallon field. visited Fallon last
Friday and Saturday and gave to the
Churchill County Standard the fol-
lowing interview:
II consider the Fallon oil field the
best in the entire country and, the
stage of development considered,
the largest as well. l have made ex-
%aminations in most of the oil districts
of the United States, and l feel l am
in a position to speak with more than
a usual degree of positiveness. How
ever, | am not associated with any
company and have consistently re-
fused to make any report saw such
as might embody a general summary
of the field as a whole.
ITO my mind, indubitable proof al
ready has been had of the existence
of oil in paying quantities within the
Lahontan basin, and | know the field
to be at least six or seven miles IN
width by more than twenty miles in
length; and it is also a well estab-
lished fact that oil will be developed
at many points within this area at
an average depth of 1900 feet. The
logs of the first wells sunk will fully
determine the geology of the district.
Here you find ample evidence of
a liberal basaltic flow which had its
origin in the modern tertiary period,
and other local evidences certify TO
the existence of oil pools and are
furnished by the Characteristic oil
marine beds and f~ossilization. Ter
tiary flow, you will understand, is as
ISOLATED with oil distillation. Every
thing l have found here is extraneous
evidence and checks perfectly.
in the one or two places in the
district where erosion has laid bare
tertiary anticline folds, typical espe-
cially in the Salt Wells vicinity an
auspiciousness is presented that is
equaled in few instances and GER
tainly not surpassed in the greatest
oil-producing districts of the United
States or Mexico.
1.-The George B.. Williams well which
| visited has furnished proof of the
large extent of the Lahontan oil belt,
which is in reality much larger than
l had thought possible at first. This
we'll will actually produce at a depth
of 555 feet from one to three barrels
of oil every twenty-four hours, sc
plainly good hat no testing is zee
sary. giving positive proof of the
existence of vast pools of petroleum.
"In this connection it should be
explained that the Williams well does
not constitute the strongest or best
evidence of oil to be had in this oil
district. Certainly it is good. yet
other wells have been sunk which
show just as positive evidences,
while for years comment has been
made by oil biologists upon the char
a~cteristic oil formations existing
along the route of auto travel in the
vicinity of Salt Wells and Sand
Springs.
II have been repeatedly impor-
tuned for an opinion on the merits
of other Nevada districts and have as
frequently refused to act, believing
the Fallon field should receive my
first and undivided consideration. l
want to prove the Fallon district and
may be counted on to do whatever l
can to compass this end"
