WORK SUSPENDEDA At
WILLIAMS OIL WELL

According to the Churchill County
Standard Developments at the Williams
well, east of Fallon, have come to a
standstill as a result of the decision
of Mr.. Williams to stop drilling with
the appliances at hand and to aban-
don the four-inch hole which had
reached a depth of 557 feet in favor
of a standard oil well drilling rig
which he and others will shortly
have on the ground prepared to go
to a depth of 1000 feet. if necessary.
1t is the purpose Of Mr.. Williams to
start the next hole of a size of four
teen inches and to reduce diameter
only as necessity dictates as drilling
progresses. Thomas Dolf and others
have associated themselves with Mr..
Williams and it is probable that a
company will be organized this week
and standard equipment ordered.
In the meantime a heavy oil sludge
continues to issue from the wall as
water is pumped and there is no
abatement Of the suspicious oil signs
that have been so pronounced at the
Williams well since a depth of 1S5
feet was encountered.
Other companies are drilling or
preparing to drill at an early date
and oil development activities take
precedence over every other form OF
endeavor in the valley at the present
time.

brought satisfactory results, Mrs.
Cronin stated, and telegraphic adj
vices from the East were to the effect
that all equipment necessary for
drilling for oil is already on the way.
1t is expected that active drilling OPP

LEGISLATURE LIKELY

II seems Probable that a special
session of the Nevada Legislature will

her. although no official notification
has been received Of the vent. The
question of special sessions of Legs
~latures Of the Pacific States. for rati-

when Governor stephens Of Califor-
MIA sent out invitations to seven
Western governors asking that spe-
cial sessions be called to ratify.
Governor Boyle of Nevada has said:
"A special session of the Legislature
Of Nevada appears imminent. for the
purpose Of considering ratification Of
the woman suffrage amendment. and
TO consider legislation regulating in
dustrial relations. 1t seems almost
certain that it will be held before
Thanksgiving Day"
1t is said in Carson City that the
Governor intends, before calling the
special session. to call into confer
representatives of both industry
arrangements and organized labor. in
order to learn their different views on
matters which he proposes TO lay
before the Legislature.
Also. it is said. he will ask the State
Bar Association &c hold a meeting in
order that he may lay his plans before
Il. together with a request that pro-
posed laws covering the subjects de-
handing legislation be drafted in
such form that there will be no ques-
ton of their constitutionality or Of
their standing the test of the courts.

gestion of Governor Stephens was to
the effect that he would not call a

lature this fall to consider ratifca-
