SALT LAKE MAN
|NvENTS SCREEN

Salt Lake Tribune: Herman F.
Wullstein, a Salt Lake mechanic, af-
ter many years of experimentation,
has invented a screen which heclaims
will accomplish all the work by grav-
itation formerly done by machinery.
For many years Mr.. Wullstein has
worked upon the principle hat all
grit, no matter whether 1t be coal, ore
or gravel, could be screened by gravi-
tation, thus eliminating the expense
enatiled in the operation of a mesh
cloth screen.
Mr.. Wullstein's screen is made up
of a series of bars to which steel wire
teeth about three inches long are fast
ened with an increasing space be-
tween the wires being the basis of
the invention. All wires run each
way. The bars are arranged one
above the other on an incline of about
As degrees with a slight drop from
one bar to the next. The completed
screen when set up has the appear
ance of the ordinary dashboard. The

the screen and as 1t passes down the
larger particles begin to roll and the
fine naturally drops through. The
screen is about five feet in length
and by the time the matter has gone
two-thirds over the screen all the
fine has become separated from the
coarse
Mr.. Wullstein says that II will
screen from 80 to 100 per cent of all
grit and that 1t can never be clogged
up. There are no cross wires to stop
any of the material and all matter
dumped upon the screen must either
go through or over.
"Gravitation does the work." said
Mr.. Wullstein. 1.-The screen stands
perfectly still while the power of
gravitation operates, pulling the fine
stuff through the screen. Operation
is n~oiseless, the work is accomplished
without any artificial assistance, and
the capacity is at least three times
that of any ere on the market.
The screen does away with all mo-
tors. power, betting. line shafting. vi
brations, ~ratchets, springs and oil,
thus doing away with a fixed expense,
which has been a big drawback to the
small producers and workers of small
mills and curtailing the expense OF
nearly 70 per cent in the case of all
mills"
Mr.. Wullstein says hat he has al
ready installed screens in several
large plants and the companies have
informed him that his screen is a sue
cess.

NO OIL INDICATED
IN ELK0 FIELDS

Saturdays Elko Independent "
Prof. Frederick J. Pack. brought here
by the Elko Oil Corporation to re-
port on it's holdings near this city.
put the stop sign on the company's
hopes last night when he addressed
a meeting of the stockholders telling
them that there was an entire lack of
any indications pointing to the exis-
tence of oil on their holdings near
this city. The meeting was held at
the Mayer hotel and was we'll attend
ed by many of the original investors
in the company, who had hoped to
spend several days in his examination
of the local field. which lies on what
is known as Adobe Flat about six
miles north of this city.
He was taken out tt the field i'm
mediately by President Gedney of
the corporation and at one began
his Investigations. He had proceed
ed only a short time with his re-
search when he expressed doubt as
to the field. He continued, however,
In his search, making a thorough ex-
animation. Stockholders we're noti-
fed that a meeting would be held last
night to receive his report, but no in
timation of what 1t would be was
given out.
In his talk last night Mr.. Pack
went into the question of oil forma-
lions in thorough fashion.
Most people," said Prof. Pack,
think that oil is found in a depres-
sion. This is not the case. Water
flows into depressions, forcing the oil
into higher formations. Here gas is
also formed above the oil and nine
times out of ten you discover oil In a
formation that denotes no bowl or
basin whatever. This is the reason
why so many times wells are struck
on lands that directly adjoin others
upon which no oil can be found what
ever The chief indication of the
presence of oil is the anticline. l
found no indications of an anticline
and no domes whatever on your hold
ings. l would recommend that you
do not proceed further in your search
for OIL"
Prof. Pack by no means discour-
aged the idea of the presence of oil
in the State of Nevada. On the 9TH
er hand he stated that he firmly be-
lieved that Nevada had better indica-
tons of oil than Utah and a flowing
we'll was recently brought in at Moab,
Utah. But Elko is not in the oil
zone he says.
Immediately after receiving his re-
port the board of directors of the cor
peration met and voted to terminate
the corporation. Steps to disincor-
porate are being taken to-day and
after deducting the expenses incurred
thus far each member of the company
will get his money returned to him.
1t is estimated that the expenses thus
far incurred will aggregate about ten
dollars for each of the fifty members.
Each member deposited n hundred
dollars toward organizing the work
Of the company. and every man and
woman who took a share in the cor
p~oration feels we'll repaid in having
finally determined the question of
whether or not oil exists here.
Laymen were confident that a fay-
orable report would be rendered on
the Adobe field. Fossils, which are
taken as one indication, were found
in abundance. Prof. Pack found no
merit in any of the indications, how
ever.
