Illipah Oil Field
Attracts Attention

OF interest to all people of Nevada,
and especially to many in this section,
is the recent announcements of the ex-
cellent indications of success of the H.
lipah Bason Oil and Gas Company
project. who are drilling for oil few
mines northwest of Ely.
A telegram has been received by G.
w. Franks. the Phoebe representative
Of the company, from Ira MacFarland.

a leave of absence from his state du

says that they have encountered a
greenish oil. indicating paraffine
base. and Mr.. MacFarland wakes en-
thusiastic regarding the outlook for
oil in paying quantities.
The latest report shows the drill to
be down more than 400 feet, with ever,
prospect, according to w. B. Hall. ge-
ologist, that oil in paying quantities
will be obtained within a depth of 1,S00
| feet
The value of an oil gusher, if indeed
the Illipah we'll turns out to be such,
to the people of Nevada cannot be
overestimated. With the view of CIV
ing Nevada people the DeneHt OF tnls
prospect the management of the com
pany has placed limited amount OF

the market at Is cents per share.
Biologists who have examined this

are much the same as those in the bis
oil fields of Wyoming. and they are
hopeful that oil exists in the territory
An oil well pouring forth it's wealth

Silver Association
New Organization

A movement has been inaugurated tv
make San Francisco the silver center
of the world and to form the "Silver
Association" which will foster the sill
yer mining industry in every legitimate
way throughout the United States.
The birth of the movement was q
dinner to San Francisco financial ed
itors. which occurred recently at the
Hotel st. Francis, given by Frank
Chester Kingsland. formerly Of the
New York Sun and Wall Street jour
nal and a representative Of the silver
mining industry of Nevada.
The dinner was attended by many of
the leading financial men of the west
ern section of the United States and
also by representatives Of the silver
mining industry in this state. Those
present discussed the silver situation
at length, the outcome Of the whole
affair being the formation Of the Sill
yer Association. The consensus Of
opinion among those present was that
the excess-profit tax should be re.
moved at the earliest possible date. in
order to stimulate the production of
the metal. This, it was recognized.
| Is necessary in order that silver min
| ing men throughout the country can
| work their properties at a profit fair
| to themselves
| 1t was also the unanimous opinion
that everything should be done to place
the silver mining industry on a high
plane; to do everything possible to
eliminate the illegitimate mining pro-
moters who have too long exploited
the mining industry for their personal
profit, and in consideration of the fact
that San Francisco is today the largest
exporter of silver bullion she is thy,
logical silver center of the world.
The Silver Association will be head
ed by San Francisco banker and all
present at the banquet promised to ex-
ert their power and influence TOWARD
the objects desired
Mr.. Kingsland has his Office in the
Hotel st. Francis and is rapidly crys-
ltallizing the sentiment expressed at the
dinner. He is also securing data which
will tend to make the new enterprise =
success.

Copper has shown slight upward

metal.
Zinc continues rather unsatisfactory,
with no export business to speak of.
Although domestic consumption is

Applicants for Insurance Often

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with

these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record q success.
An examining physician for one of ths
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble Is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease 1t is on sale
