CHURCHILL COUNTY OIL 4 GAS
TOOK LEASE ON RANCH HERE

w H Caldwell, of the Churchill
County Oil & Gas Company, reports
that his company has taken a lease
on the George B. Williams ranch
east of Fallon. Some time ago
while drilling for artesian water on
this tract a strata of oil sand wae
encountered at depth of about 200
feet, and again at the 410 foot mark
similar strata was encountered.
The second evidence was much
stronger than the first and il was
estimated by experts that an actua
flow of about three barrels per day
could be had at the deeper level. At
a little more depth the casing was
jammed and the we'll abandoned
The leasing company will make ar
rangements at once for the purchase
of a standard rig and will start drill
ing. Either IL or IA inch casing
will be used at the start and plans
will be laid to go to a great depth

Hay Shipments Held Up

Considerable baled nay has been

there is said to be a marked short

SAYS THE RENO MEETING
WAS ONLY A TALkfEST
Carson Paper Gives Fair Resume of
Reno Good Roads,
Meeting

held at the Washoe county metropo-
lis Saturday, and which was a con-
tinuation of the movement started at
Auburn a month since, did Just ex-
actly what was expected OF 1t and
what had been predicted for it, says
the Carson Appeal
II endorsed the Overland Trail,
though in the call for the meeting,
which had been sent broadcast by
the Reno Commercial Club, it was
virtually intimated that no trans
continental road crossing Nevada
woud receive more favor than an
other unless merit stood behind it.
But when the meeting was called to
order in Reno Saturday il was evil
dent that 1t was packed and that no
highway, other than the Overland
would receive consideration. This
was clearly shown when a resolu-
tion providing for unit voting by the
various delegations attending was de-
feated and in lieu thereof motion
prevailed that every delegate pres
ent should have vote. And to fur
ther that scheme Auburn had forty
seven delegates on hand, Sacramen-
to forty-one, Loyeloek fifty, and 9TH
er communities favoring the Overs
land anywhere from six to dozen.
In plain words the convention"
was packed for the Overland and the
latter's champions won out on every
turn.
The meeting was a fight almost
from start to finish and early in the
game the Plaeerville delegation,
realizing that those who stood for
favorable mention for the Lincoln
Highway had no more chance than
the proverbial SNOWFALL, withdrew
from the deliberations, as did also
some of the other Lincoln followers
from California.
The result OF the meeting, which
continued until late in the afternoon.
was an unqualified endorsement of
the Overland Trail and the appoint
ment of a committee of seven, head
ed by H. B. Mares, which will essay
the task of raising s45O,0O0 of Cali

ture, of the counties of Washoe.

similar amount. Bur according to
the intent of the legislature the Ne.
vada money will not be available
until Mr.. Mares and his conferees
have put up the real stuff. And no
"stage money goes, it was perth
nently declared by member of the
Oakland delegation, which stood
from the first against the endorse
ment of the Overland or any other
particular road.
The result of the convention will
probably be a little temporary adj
vertising for the Overland Trail,
but it will have no effect on legisla-
tive or congressional action and 1t
Will be SnortnVeu.
So far as known the Overland
Trail is not spending any money at
all in Nevada at the present time.
nor has it any plans other than
those sprung at Reno. On the othei
hand the Lincoln Highway has
broad and definite policy and is pre-
pared to spend hundreds of thous-
ands for work in this state. Tho
Lincoln Highway is a great big reaE
ty and though turned down like {;

1t will not cease for a moment in 1t
energies and construction.
