NEW RAILWAY SCHEDULE
HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED

Beginning last Sunday, April 4, a
daily, extra train service between Eu-
reka and Palisade was started, and
will be maintained until May 10, it
has been announced by j. Z. Sexton,
general manager of the Eureka-Ne-
vada railway. Under this schedule
the trains will leave Palisade at Sis
a. m. for Eureka.
After May 10, passenger trains will
be run daily, excepting Sunday, from
Palisade. but only the alternate trains
will come on to Eureka, the other
three to have Diamond, IL miles
north of here, as their destination.
Under this schedule trains for Eu-
reka will leave Palisade at 7:10 a.
m. and arrive at Eureka at 1859 on
Mondays, Wednesdays. and Fridays,
leaving again for Palisade at 1880
p. m. and arriving there at 5:45 p. M,
on each of these days. On Tuesdays,
Thursdays, and Saturdays the train
will leave Palisade for Diamond and
also arrive and return on the same
schedule as the trains to Eureka.
The purpose of the management of
the railway in having three of the
trains after May 10 run only to Dia-
mond is to eliminate the final grade
between that place and Eureka. I'm
til May 10 Eureka will have daily
mail service, but after that it will re-
vert to the regular tri-weekly service,
unless plans providing different con-
nections are made.
Parcel post shipments are becom-
ing so heavy that we cannot carry a
larger quantity than is now being
carried" Mr.. Sexton said. THE Eu-
reka mail will be brought here daily
until May 10, and after that If the
people of Eureka want daily mail
service they will have to make some
plan to get the mail from Diamond
on the days that the trains will stop
there. If some such plan is made
the mail will be brought to Diamond
on the three days on which no train
comes on to Eureka"

GOLD IN OIL sHALE

According to an Associated press
dispatch under a Denver date line,
chemists of that city, who have been
conducting exhaustive experiments
with oil shale, have just made the
important discovery that gold and
platinum exists in considerable guam
titles in the oil bearing shales of Col
orado. Wyoming, Utah and Nevada.
The discoverers claim to not only
found successful process for recov-
sring the oil in the shale but also the
gold and platinum. 1t is estimated
that a ton of oil shale will yield a
barrel of high grade oil worth about
ten dollars barrel at the present
price of oil. Numerous tests of the
precious metal values of the shales.
according to this authority, averages
about SIS per ton. According to the
United States Geological Survey the
shale resources of the four States
named are fully sixty billion tons. If
this discovery proves a success it
means much for Nevada and has a
local significance inasmuch as Ne
vada has millions of tons of this shale
and especially in the Illipah Basin, in
White Pine County, where the Illipah
Basin Oil & Gas Company is now
drilling for oil.

FIRST AID MINER VISITS EUREKA

r.. w. Clarke, first aid miner WIN
Car IL of the u. s. Bureau OF Mines
nrst-aid service. came to Eureka last
Tuesday for the purpose OF organiz-
ing a class of miners In this district
to take up first aid work, but owing
to the fact that his time was limited
when coming here he did not organ
ixe such q class.
Car IL Is now at Battle Mountain,
having gone there from Elko. The
next stop will be at Austin. This
car covers the territory of Utah, east
ern Nevada, Idaho, and wyoming.
This service is considered as having
been of great benefit to miners re-
ceiving II, II being estimated that II
proper first aid attention is given
about sou of the minefatalftfes could
be prevented. The training Is OF
special value to districts where the
attention Of physicians cannot behad.
Previous to his service In the army
during the late war. Mr.. Clark was a
construction man and millwright. and
after the war ended he entered the
employment of the Bureau of Mines.

SECRET CANYON STRIKE
SHOWS MORE FAVORABLE

Although the unfavorable weather
Of the past three weeks has hindered
extensive development of the ore vein
discovered by the Kelley strike in
Secret Canyon. the work that has been
done since the last report was re-
ceived from there indicates that the
ore is becoming of more value with
each foot of work done.
Dan G. Kelley and Jack Stonelake
came into town from Secret Canyon
Yesterday. They said that the roads
there were in good condition, al
though the Pinto summit country is
quite muddy in places. They will re-
turn in few days and resume work
on the Secret Canyon ground where
the prospect is located.

MINES AT HAMILTON
TO BE WORKED

Clarence Johnson and son, Oliver,
returned TO their home in Eureka
this week after spending eight days
at Eberhardt, near Hamilton, sur
yeying contours for a millsite be-
longing to Kent Keller OF Los An
geles, who has taken over an old min
lining property at that place.
Mr.. Johnson declared that the
Hamilton district is in the first stages
of a revival of prosperity, and that
many of the old properties that have
long been idle are being worked
again. Hamilton in its prosperous
days consisted of about 10000 per-
sons, and although the district pro-
duced millions in rich ore, it is gem
orally believed that there are still
great amounts of paying ore to be OBJ
tanned there yet.
The failing dumps on some OF the
properties contain ore of value OF
something like $50 ton, Mr.. john
son said, and the treatment OF tnls
ore will probably be first taken up
by the companies taking over prop
critics there. The district is espec-
tally favored in that it has no re-
fractory ores. The ore bodies are
found usually in limestone, which
contacts with shale and quartzits.
"The Hamilton district is naturally
tributary to Eureka" Mr.. Johnson
declared, land with proper transpor-
tation facilities or reducing plants all
the ore produced there would be
brought to Eureka for treatment or
shipment. AS conditions exist now
ore of a value of less than $50 cannot
be handled from Hamilton at prof.
it."
The mining men of Hamilton are
greatly interested in Eureka, Mr..
Johnson continued. That district is
especially interested in the oil devel-
opments in the Illipah Basin, for II
oil in commercial quantities is struck,
much cheaper fuel for developing the
mines and treating the Hamilton ores
can be obtained.

Gold Dwindles

There is now, and for some time
past has been, an alarming decrease
in gold production. Economic con-
ditions have made it's production at a
profit, generally speaking. inpos-
sible. Last year the trade consumed
more gold than was produced in this
country and the reserve money metal
was drawn upon to make up the
deficit.
1t is clearly evident that the rel
atively small quantity of gold held is
totally inadequate to sustain with
even small degree of safety the tre-
mendous credit structure resting upon
1t. 1t is buried so deep with prom
ises to pay that it probably will not
function as circulating money again
during the life of anyone now living.

Laws Onerous

We possess the greatest silver fields
in the world. Production could speed
lily be increased to- practically any de-
sired amount if cslpitslswere -eneour-
aged by proper protective and wise
constructive legislation, to engage ex-
tensively in silver mining.
The onerous Excess Profit Tax on
silver stands in the way of its in
creased production and should be i'm
mediately removed. The direct prof
it to the Government from a largely
increased production would exceed
any loss through repeal of the tax
law. while the gain to the country
would be both great and lasting.
