ILLIPAH OIL FIELD
VERY ACTIVE NOW

j. Z. Amenda, field manager and
pioneer of the oil industry in this
field, is in Eureka for few days and
reports that the third big oil drilling
outfit is now being erected in the IL
lipah Basin, 2200 feet due west of
the Illipah Petroleum Company's gas
we'll. and the fourth rig is to be put
on three miles south within As days.
Mr.. Amenda says the showing made
by the Petroleum Company in the
past 80 days is most gratifying, as
both hydrocarbon gas at 245 feet, and
natural gas at $40 feet was struck.
and both are flowing with sufficient
force to make all interested believe
that oil will be brought forth in the
very near future; in fact the predic-
tions are that the oil bed may be
struck within the next 100 feet. The
Petroleum Company has the 10-inch
casing on the ground and every eff
fort is being made to have the well
cased by the 18th of this month and
drilling resumed. Mr.. Amenda is on
his way to the field now, and will go
to Tcnopah Sunday to investigate the
reported strike of oil in Fish Lake
Valley this week, which report says
an oil sludge was hit at As feet.

ELY S EUREKA 2
Closely Contested and Best Ball
Ball Game in Years Played
Last Sunday

Eureka was defeated for the first
time this year by the Ely team Sun
day, August 29th.
Both teams played fast ball, but
the outfielders were bothered a great
deal as all three fielders had a low
sun to contend with and 1t made it
very difficult to judge fly balls.
Kelly and Cardin6lli both pitched
good ball, the first having the base
ball breaks with him, thus giving him
slight advantage. Cardinalli had
one bad inning, where errors counted
for two of the runs that were scored;
outside of that both pitchers were GO
ing steady at all times.
The home team seemed to be In a
batting slump, as they were not hit
ting anywhere near the way they
have been this season. The game
was good one to watch, and the
people who attended surely got a
good run for their money. The game
was fast, being played in one hour
and forty minutes.
There was no individual star on
either team, all players on both teams
working together, which made the
game more interesting as all players
were on their toes at all times and
trying their best to win.
The Ely players were a good clean
bunch of ball players and we are only
sorry that it is so late in the year, as
we would like to have been able to
have them come over once again this
year.
The Eureka team will go to Austin
on September IL to play a return
game there. and on September 10 will
travel to Ely and try and bring home
the bacon.
There is a movement on foot to
form league of Class d ball teams
for this district next year. The mat
ter will be taken up with Ely, Ruth,
McGill, Austin and Eureka managers
in the near future. They will want
to make it six or eight club league,
and other towns will be asked to join.
This would mean good clean sport for
the people of all the towns concerned
during the Summer months, and ev-
cry town would want the entire sup
port of their people to make sue
cess of it. Baseball teams bring
money into every town where the
game is played, and brings closer re-
lationship to the same.

At Eureka Sunday once again the
baseball team of Ely demonstrated to
its fans and to the people of this dis
trict that it has baseball ability and
plenty of 1t.
After riding a distance of ninety
miles through the Nevada desert, be-
ing on the road for six solid hours
they met one of the strongest teams
in the State and defeated them by q
score of six to two.
From start to finish the game was
full of brilliant and exciting baseball
displayed by the members of both
sides. The game was called at 1 o.
clock Sunday afternoon and was
played in one hour and forty minutes.
When the Ely aggregation appeared
upon the diamond in their many col
ored and variously striped suits they
formed a weird looking group ofbase-
ball players. Their suits varied In
color from yellow to dark green and
few looked as though they were
loaned to the team by the warden OF
the Carson institution.
And right here the members of the
team, the rooters that went along
and the umpires wish to state that

UNCLE SAM CONSOLIDATED

The Uncle Sam Con is working
night and day driving its tunnel in
the ore zone. The limestone is be-
coming more broken and is accom-
panied with heavy iron stain. This
week large fault was struck which
bears evidence of ore deposits in the
vicinity. The tunnel is following
along the footwall of rhyolite. and
owing to this intrusion the tunnel
will have to be driven much further
than was first anticipated to reach
the ore run which passes through the
zone.
