TAX DODGERS
OF 1917 ARE SPOTTED

Twenty-six Nevada employers who
have so far failed to make proper in
come tax returns for the year 1917
will be brought to a realization of
the fact that the arm of the United
States government is long and is sure
10 sooner or later gather them in
should they attempt to evade payment
" their obligations to Uncle Sam.
Sam e. L. Connell, deputy internal
revenue collector. started out this
week to serve twenty-six warrants of
restraint in the cases of employers
the government claims did not make
proper returns as to the amounts
that passed from them to their en-
ployees in 1917, says the Gardnerville
Record-Courier In case of settle
ment is not made to the satisfaction
of the officers the deputy will proceed
to levy on the property and through
that means make collection not only
of the tax but of the penalty in ad-
dition.
Action on the delinquencies and in
complete income tax returns of years
subsequent to 1917 will come later.

NO CONTRACTS FOR
CONCRETE HIGHWAY

The failure of the state highway de-
partment to obtain a single bid for
the construction of the two concrete
section from Huffakers to Washoc on
of interest shown by contractors in
the construction of the remaining sec
tons between Reno and Carson is in
terpreted as meaning that the state
will be able to concrete only a por-
ton of the highway leading south
ward from Carson City during 1920,
says the Reno Gazette.
The refusal of contractors to bid
Upon concrete construction also means
hat the highway department may be
compelled to abandon its straight
Did contracts" and let future con-
crete work upon some form of per-
centage basis, with a careful avoid
ance of the cost-plus system, which
proved too wasteful and expensive to
the government during the war.
While contractors are bidding freely
for grading and excavation work, they
have been shying at concrete road
construction all over the country for
he past two years, owing to the ha-
lard involved. AS n contractor put
It recently, labor is not the most
serious factor in concrete work by any
means, although it is serious enough.
Just at present the labor supply is
'airly good, but the risk in other re-
spects are being properly estimated by
he firms that have been engaging in
his class of work.
Concrete can only be laid in
months free from freezing weather,
which prevents a firm from holding a
capable organization together the
year through. Also, men engaged in
this type of construction must be well
paid and the character of the work is
such that If a mixer breaks down, or
the supply of rock, cement, sand or
water is interrupted for any reason,
IN entire crew Is rendered idle while
heir wages keep running on. Ex-
pensive Interruptions are almost I'M
a%voidable and the history of concrete
road construction shows a long list
of contractors who have not been
able to break even. AS a result they
are demanding higher prices for con-
crete work all over the country"

IS ADDED
At |LL|PAH WELL

Discovery of oil at Illipah will not
only add another industry to Nevada's
list, but will also be of great value
to the mining interests, in the opinion
of f. N. Richardson. secretary of the
Illipah Basin Oil & Gas Company,
With this oil as fuel for developing
the mines in White Pine county, her
mineral production should be in
creased to a great extent. he thinks.
As all indications show that the Oil
has a parafine instead Of a graphite
base, 1t would also be a very excellent
%lubricating oil.
The drill at Illipah is going down
through a carbonaceous limestone,
which is Illuminated with lime shales.
Considerable oil is being drawn VI
from this depth with the balings. The
management is becoming more sure
of success with each foot of depth to
which the well is sunk.
Ira mcfarland. superintendent, has
taken A. H. Campbell to Illipah, and
he will have charge of the second
shift at work on the well. Mr.. Camp
bell will be the head driller and is
thoroughly experienced in drilling for
oil. Next week a third shift will be
added, Mr.. Richardson declared, and
then a depth of thirty feet a day can
ho attained Of tho rafo Of xuhtaL Al.
work has progressed in the past ano
in the present formation, which is
very hard. However, it is expected
that this hard formation will be
passed in sixty or seventy days, when
fifty or sixty feet a day can be made.
The bad weather has also been a
serious handicap to operations for the
last three or four weeks.
A number of new companies have
been organized and will start work at
Illipah, Mr.. Richardson said, A To-
nopah company has also been organi-
zed and will begin work this spring
II predict that there will be four OF
five drills at work in Illipah, beside
ours, in the next sixty days." Mr.
Richardson said. six months age
there were very few people in Nevada
who actually believed hat oil would
be found in the state. Today every
n believes that Nevada is due for an
oil boom that will surpass ever the
spectacular booms of Texas and Loui-
siana. And our people are not with
out good solid reasons for such be-
lief-a belief. by the way-that they
are backing to the limit with their
dollars"
Many stock companies depend upon
outside subscriptions as the source OF
their finances, knowing that they have
no merits and that local people have
no confidence in them. But this Is not
the cas- with the Illipah company.
Our company is now well financed"
Mr.. Richardson continued, "and fully
ninety-five per cent of the stock has
been taken by Nevada people. This
is a splendid testimonial Of faith, not
only in the men backing this COM
pany, but In the belief that oil does
exist in the state. Nevadans never do
things half-heartedly."
Parties from Elko are expected in
a few days to go to Illipah to look
that field over. An auto party from
Lovelock is also expected to arrive
almost any time for the same purpose.
The officials of the company think
that as soon as the roads become bet
ter for travelling by automobiles, four
or five cars will go from Ely to Illi-
pah daily.-[Ely Times.
