open SUMMIT ROADS
|. IN WINTER WEATHER

The road between Carson City and
Placerville remains open for cars pro-
vided with chains, says Gael S. Hoag.
field secretary of the Lincoln Highway
Association, who arrived at the Nevada
capital late Wednesday evening from
the California side of the mountains.
Mr.. Hoag reported some snow on the
highway. but says a car properly
equipped can make the trip without
difficulty.
Mr. Hoag. an Ely real estate man.
was chosen by the Lincoln Highway
Association about three months ago
to act as its field secretary to fill an
unexpired term of Office. He went
to Detroit. Michigan. to enter upon
his duties, and worked westward. Be-
ing thoroughly well acquainted with
conditions in Nevada. he has been an
element of great strength in the ac-
tivities of the Lincoln Highway. His
observations regarding road condi-
tions on the desert are far more prac-
tical than could be those of an East
ern man, and no doubt the highway
to the south will reap great benefit II
it follows Mr.. Hoag's advice. His ap-
pointment was an act Of understand
ing on the part of association officials
A favorite project of Mr.. Hoag's has
been the maintenance of an all-the-
year-round route over the Sierra sum-
mits. He declared in Carson that he
is now convinced a road may easily
be kept open if the sun is enlisted as
helper. This he proposes to accom-
plish by removing trees for distance
Of fifty to sixty feet on each side OF
the roadway. He declares the only
places which seemed to promise trou-
BILE on his trip this week were those
where the roadway is densely shaded
Snow was encountered near Phillips
while there vas practically none at the
Myers summit on the Placerville road
Through Lake Valley to Carson City
the road is reported by Mr.. Hoag tc
be In excellent condition.

PROPOSED DRILLING
WELL At OIL BASIN

Word has been received by the
Tonopah Bonanza from william
Nance, associated with the Highland
Oil Company of Nevada, with head
quarters at Quincy. Calf, that the
Highland company will no doubt be
financed sufficiently to start opera
tions at Oil Basin within the next
few weeks, and that everyone con-
nected with the company is working
hard with view to getting started
before winter begins in earnest.
This will be the first company to
operate in this region, which is one
place in Nevada where crude oil is
available in the surface shale. Some
effort has recently been made to
finance other companies to drill there,
but apparently without any tangible
results.
According to latest geological re-
ports, the White River district pre-
sents excellent indications for vast
oil field. Only drilling will determine
this. and. being a virgin region. the
first outfit to strike oil should have a
great advantage. People of southern
Nevada probably will know within
the. next few months whether an oil
field lies within sight of their front
doors.

ROBBERS CAUGHT AT PANACA

Two men who robbed the Bank of
st. George last Sunday night were
captured next day near Panaca, ac-
cording to advice which reaches the
Ely Daily Times. They had stopped
their Ford car to inquire about the
road to Caliente. and on leaving had
dropped three rolls of dimes from the
st. George bank. Job Hall, of whom
they had inquired, made the find and
notified local officers. An auto was
soon in pursuit and the men submitted
to arrest without fight.
They had blown open the bank safe
and secured $4,000 in cash and Lib
erty bonds. All of the money except
a few dollars and all the securities
were recovered.
