matter Of rates with the Ozark Power &
Water Company, reported progress,
This committee went to Springfield
last week and took up the matter Of
rates personally. The rate named By
the Company was three cents per
kilowatt at the dam. The Power
company also offered the use Of their
towers from the nearest point to the
dam, to furnish all materials, even
posts II necessary at cost, and to pro-
vide a man for wiring the town.
Lacking exact measurements, Il was
estimated that It would cost about
$4,000 for wire and posts to the power
transmission line, and 10 wire the town.
The meeting appointed committee
to make exact measurements, and an.
other TO take up certain matters with
the Telephone Company for the use Of
their poles for part Of the way.
On Monday evening another rousing
meeting was held, and Manager Franz
lin Of the Branson Telephone Co., was
present, and gave permission to use
the telephone poles wherever available
on the line for stringing wire. o. L,

ment oi the distance having been
made.
The matter Of getting the Juice to
town Is fast getting into tangible shape,
and the enthusiastic and business like

handled makes It certain that In 4

MEN OIL EXCITEMENT
STARTS At SAND SPRINGS

There is a new oil excitement
and this time it is taking place in
Nye County. Hundreds of locations
have already been made, it is stated,
yet every. effort has been made to
keep the location secret. says the
Tonopah Times.
The new fields lie in the Pancake
range, between Currant Creek and
Duckwater, or. to be more precise.
near the Sand Springs on Nut Creek
near Locke ranch.
1t is said that a Tonopah crowd of
people headed by Ernest Cole have
had representatives in the district
for the last two weeks and that the
ground has been staken for miles
around. The showing is reported to
be among the best ever found in the
west and experts predict that a num-
ber of gushers will eventually result.
1t is said the anticline is easily trace
able and that the small rolling hills
bear every indication that oil will
be found at comparatively shallow
depth in the territory being pros,
pected. Years ago the territory in
question was prospected in limited
way. and at that time the opinion
was expires ID by geologists that the
indications for oil were excellent.

CONTROL OF RANGES
Resolution Passed at Salt Lake
Asking Congress To Take
Over Public Domain

Nevada stockmen who attended
the meeting of the western stock
growers at Salt Lake City last week
report unanimous sentiment among
the delegates for Federal control of
all public ranges in the western
States. A resolution to this effect
was introduced and passed with but
one dissenting vote, that of Wyo-
ming.
Nevada has more open land than
any other State in the Union, more
than fifty million acres. and the opin-
ion expressed by her delegates car
ried considerable weight. The ques-
ton Of the foreign stockmen was also
taken up. bringing out considerable
debate. Secretary Houston was
present from Washington. D. c..
and assured the stockmen that the
Government was ready and willing
to assist them in every way, and with
the united expression it was more
than likely that measures would be
taken Immediately looking to Gov
ernment control Of the public ranges.

MINING BOOM IS
COMING TO NEVADA

The mining boom in this State is
assuming gigantic proportions. New
er in the history of Nevada have
there beenso many inen engaged In
mining at one time. and 80 many
prospectors at work and so much
actual development being done. all
of which speaks volumes for the min
eral resources of this State, says the
Nevada Home Builder. Nevada is
incomparably the richest in mineral
resources of any State in the Union,
taking area and population into con-
sideration.
The chances for oil in this State
are believed to be good. Eve indi-
cation for oil is found here at is
found in any oil field on this .onti-
nent, and while many portions of the
State have been fractured by volcanic
action in the past, it is conceded that
there are valleys and sections of the
State in which there is no evidence
of volcanic action having disturbed
the earth and the prospect in oil
bearing ground are Just as good here
as they are anywher. else.
There is more money available both
locally and from outside points than
there has ever been in the history of
the State. Now that the war is over,
capital is seeking investment and the
general concensus of opinion APP
pears to be that mining is attracting
a greater share Of capital than any
other one industry in the whole
country. The reason is not hard to
find. In the first place. the profits
arising from mining are unusually
large. The opportunities for specu-
lation are greater in the mining field
than in any other enterprise, and
there is a better chance to succeed
at this time than at any time in the
past owing to the fact that mining
has resolved itself into a science al
most, on account of the modern
methods of treating ore, modern ma
chinery and the application of brains
and intelligence. which isputting the
business on sounder basis than here
tofore. While capital Is usually eau
tious, as it should be. the moneyed
men of the country are beginning to
learn that the chances of loss in the
mining game are not anything like
as great as they were in days gone
by; that the opportunities for specu-
lation, which in many cases amounts
to an investment. are greater than
they have ever been, and. taking it
all in all. the industry is on the up
grade and promises to be one of the
wonders of the world before a year
has elapsed.
