Good Oil Indications

The so-called coal on the Jot Pot
ter ranch, a few miles north of the
Saxon ranch, it not coal at all. AT
least that would be the guess of no.
vice in coalology. If it is coal in the
making, 1000 or 5000 years of curing
in Natures laboratory will be neces-
sary. John McNish, who has been
making study of oil and oil forma-
tions since experts have pronounced
this section is likely oil field, says
that it is oil shale. When freshly
dug out of the ground it is brown
ish-black color, but after being ex-
posed to the air short time it turns
white. There semes to be an unlim-
tied quantity of this stuff In fact,
it crops out in practically every guleh
and creek. The probability is it un-
derlays that entire section Of the foot
hills. Mr.. McNish, who talks about
'anti-clines," and "domes," ETC., with
all the abandon Of an oil expert, says
every indication-the geological for
nation, the dome, the dip of the walls,
.he shale-is favorable to oil, and that
f there is not oil there now there has
oeen some time in the past.

VALUE OF COAL FIELD
UNCERTAIN
Development of Deposits Neces-
sary to Determine CONNER
cial Value.

That there are large deposits OF
coal in the Ola country; that that on
| the surface is not Of commercial val
ue, and that considerable development
work must be done in order to deter
mine whether with depth the quality
of the coal is such as 10 be of CONNER
cial value-such are the conclusions
of representative of The Index and
John McNish and Frank Crosson Of
Boise, who made personal inspec-
ton of the deposits on the VIM. Sax
on and Joe Potter ranches on Sunday.
and also of the oil indications in that
section.
The most promising coal deposit is
on the Saxon ranch. 1t is located in
the bed of Squaw creek short dis
tance below Mr.. Saxon's residence.
The coal crops out Of the ground and
the surface indications are that there
is large body. That on the surface
is of poor quality-between the coal
and wood stage-and geologists would
probably pronounce it as "unripe.'
The ledge is well defined, with soap
stone walls. How deep it is has not
yet been ascertained. Mr.. Saxon has
sunk prospect hole down about sew
en- feet The quality showed little
improvement, but that dug out quick
ly slacks, and while it is valuable for
home consumption and is being used
by many of the ranchers, burning
readily after the moisture in it evap-
crates, it is of no value commercially.
If the vein extends to any considerable
depth, say, from SO to several hun
dred feet, coal of shipping quality
and therefore of value from mining
and commercial standpoint will prob
ably be struck and no difficulty will
be found in interesting capital in the
field Mr.. Saxon announced his in
tention of sinking a shaft to ascer-
tain the extent, depth and quality of
the vein, and he should have the as
sistance and cooperation of his neigh
bors in the work He should not be
to bear the burden and ex-
pense alone, because if the field shall
prove to'be of value, every rancher in
that section will profit thereby.
Indications are that the ledge ex-
end in northwesterly direction for
4 distance of possibly 20 miles. 1t is
inown that there are outcroppings of
,oal on Crane creek, and it is believ-
ID that they are continuation of
he ledge on Squaw creek.

Carl Shame Stricken

The sudden and untimely death of
Carl Shane Sunday morning at the
summer home of the Shanes on Gold
Fork was shock to the many friends
of the family. Death was caused by
hemorrhage of the brain and was the
after-effects of an attack of influenza
last winter. Sunday morning when
he arose, he was seemingly in his
usual health. Soon after he COM
planned Of a pain at the base of the
skull and within two hours passed
away Carl Shane was the youngest
child of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Shane
and came with his parents from Grand
Junction, Colo, in 1908 He was born
at Coon Rapids, Iowa, Jan. "a, 1908.
He would have been member of the
senior class of the Emmett High
school this year, was a bright and pop
ular student, and was held in high es-
teem by his school mates. The f1-
neral was held yesterday afternoon at
the chapel, Rev. F. E. Finley, assist
ed by Rev. A. c. Lathrop, conducting
the services, and former classmates
acting as pallbearers. The body was

USED
TO ICE CARS
Endless Chains Carry Ice From Stor-
age House to Railroad.

The old backbreaking method Of
icing fruit cars has been superseded
by conveyors through the ingenuity
of Anthony Peterson, superintendent
of the Emmett Ice Company and six
are handled now in the time taken to
ice one by the old way.
The original plan of the company
was to run a switch track nearer to
the ice house, but the failure of the
railroad company to provide this cor
venience caused Mr.. Peterson to build
the present conveyor. A trestle near
" 1000 feet long has been built from
the ice house to the railroad right OF
way. Along the top of the trestle
has been constructed chute the width
of cake of ice. In the center OF the
chute runs an endless chain provided
with prongs at intervals These
prongs grab the chunks of ice as they
are placed in the chutes and they are
carried to the cars on the railroad
siding near the stockyards. AS the
ice passes along stream of water
washes off the dirt Two electric
motors propel the endless chain and
another operates the pump to provide
water for washing of the ice. Some
ielay in icing cars was experienced
he first three days Of the week, ow-
ng insufficiency of power, but today
he plant is working in good shape and
10 more delays are anticipated. J.

Boxing and Wrestling

Three round box-Cahill of Emmett
and Perkins of Barber, draw.
Three round box-This was the best
event in the boxing program. Lans-
don of Barber and Floy Clark Of En-
NETT were the contestants. Both boys
showed skill and class. Clark sur
prised his friends, and outpointed
Lansdon, but lacked physical training,
which at the end of the third round
caused his undoing. A few seconds
before time, he fell and as he went
down was caught in the side of the
temple and knocked out.
Dayton, Emmett, and McGuinness,
Barber, fought to draw.
The Hutton and Hardesty bout was
won by Hardesty.
R. H. Lundt of Emmett and Mr..
Relyea of New Plymouth furnished
the fun of the evening. Relyea had
the skill, but Lundt had the strength,
and the three rounds were fast and fu-
rious. Lnudt bored in irrespective
of consequences and when time was
called in the third round, the New
Plymouth lad was groggy but game.
Honors were declared even.
In the wrestling matches, Chick
Rynearson won from Owens; Howard
Muller of Barber won from Fred
Spear; Clarence Bush won from young
Fred Blaser; John Lake won from
Clarence Rynearson.
The boxing and wrestling matches
were pulled off on stand in the
school grounds and were witnessed by
a crowd of from 1000 to 5000 people.
These took up the time to 10 o'clock,
when the dance at Liberty Theatre
provided amusement the rest of the
day.
There was no disorder of any kind.
Deputy sheriffs, and police officers
were numerous, but their services
were never needed. Col. Jim Barnard
wore the big red sash as the insignia

A coal expert, who was in town
yesterday attracted by The Index's re-
port last week of the coal find at Ola,
when told of these peculiarities of
this sand hill, said they were COM
mon in oil fields. He said the sand
was forced up from below by pressure
of oil or gas or water, and is an indi-
cation of an oil field. This gentle
man and companion left in the af-
ternoon for Horseshoe Bend and ex-
pect to investigate the Ola country

BARBER SHUT OUT IN
FAST GAME
Emmett Carries OFF Honors in
Pitchers Battle and Wins
by a Score of 4 to 0.

In pitchers duel, opportune hit
ting and fast fielding, Emmett shut
out Barber in the Labor Day game and
gave an immense crowd of spectators
the treat of their lives. The score
was to 0.
1t was a great game, one of the best
ever seen on an Emmett diamond.
Behind Penson and Webb, the EN-
NETT battery, was a machine that
worked with precision and certainty
And the better team won.
For six innings neither side scored
and for four innings neither side
reached second. In the sixth, Bar
Der had chance, and only fast field
ing and long throw from right field
by John Soran to catcher, straight as
die, nipped the baserunner by mar
row margin. That was the only time
Barber was dangerous, and in fact
the only time the visitors got past
second.
The locals staged batting rally
in the seventh, and scored twice. Lou
Otkins started the fireworks with \
single, Brownie hit safely as did So
ran, and Skiff pounded out a double
scoring Otkins and Brown. Two
more runs came across in the eighth
inning after two men were out. Dar-
nall reached first on the shortstop's
tumble, Otkins was hit by pitcher and
Brownies three bagger to right field
scored the two base runners.
