The Wheeler Oil Syndicate will re-
sumo drilling this week. The hot
water geyser was shut off by use OF
5000 pounds of cement dropped to the
bottom of the hole. That was done
some twenty days ago and is now set
to permit Of drilling. The Fallon oll
a. Gas Co.'S well is 10Y down about
goo feet and shows very strong gas
pressure. The Lahontan Oil Syndi-
cate is rebuilding their derrick and
setting the new engine and putting In
Mace its standard rig. The Fallon
Pioneer still has a fishing job on its
hands. The bit, lost about three
weeks ago, is still at the bottom OF
the hole. A second fishing tool has
been ordered.
The great drawback to this field
has been the long distance to source
of supplies. Any needed part had to
be secured from Los Angeles, san
Francisco, Salt Lake or even as far
away as Denver. Colorado. Now that
there are twelve wells drilling in the
field. any one D, which may at any

OIL FLOW
WITH MORE DEPTH

j. E. Amenda. president of the Illi-
pah Basin Oil q Gas Company and
secretary and field manager Of the IL
lipah Petroleum company, who came
to Tonopah Monday on business con
nected with these companies, told a
Times reporter that a second flow of
gas has been encountered at a depth
of $40 feet in the Petroleum's well.
The first flow Of gas was struck at a
depth Of 245 feet.
Amenda stated that the gas flow Is
OF such force that a commercial gas
well a be developed out of its pres
ent showing, with only slight addi-
tional development.
1t Is the plan of the management
to install q condenser at once and
condense the gas. The we'll is now
being cased with ten-inch casing as
irilling progresses, and Amenda says
hat II the predictions Of engineers
and biologists are IN any way correct,
the company expects to strike a big
low of oil within the next 100. or
200 feet.
The well has o reached a depth
If 335 feet. Amenda brought to To-
.lopah a large bottle containing about
ne-half cubic foot of gas. which con-
iensed to about a teaspoonful Of
luid oil, which he says shows that
he oil pockets. or oil sands, are near
It hand.

three miles from the city of Fallon.

cured. After much hunting Of the

A depth Of $50 feet was attained and
work suspended for two reasons
first. awaiting decision as to their ap-
plication for lease; second. that drill

ranch. A very favorable lease was
about 700 acres of patented land.
Furthermore the cooperation of r.

a strong financial following, his in

Ornaments for
Evening Slippers.

Very much favored by the girl who
dances and likes new ideas are the
dsncing shoes Of white and silver bro
cade laced with silver tissue ribbon.
Sometime these shoes are made or
gold brocade and laced with gold It's
sue ribbon.
Large buckles, shaped to the instep
and set with sparkling brilliants; are
handsome adornment Tor 1ull oress
evening slippers. In the center OF the
buckle appears a little bit OF puckered
tulle, agreeing with the shade OF the
flowers on the gown. the sash or the
ribbon corsage. Fine white handker-
chief lawn is sometimes used IN place
of tulle for making primly pleated ro-
settles on evening slippers and IS
decided novelty. The lawn Is edged
with the narrowest possible edging OF
val lace and looks quaint and demure
upon a pair Of black patent leather
slippers.
Butterflies on airy wing are poised
upon the fairy-like footwear OF the
girl with a Cinderella foot. There
must be a backing Of tulle for these
dainty butterflies, or they may not
look as dainty as they should. They
look their best poised upon white or
colored satin slippers.
There Is probably nothing any more
identifying than pair of good
buckles for full-dress shoes. Oval
and triangular patterns are prettiest,
whether they sparkle or are in chased
silver or gold. Steel and jet orna-
ments are also decidedly smart and
novel for evening slippers.

Needlework Idea.

Ordinary wrapping Irvine, the
heavy. .unbleached kind that is made
of hemp is used in place Of cotton
for embroidering and outlining
couch covers, cushions. table covers,
bureau scarfs and other useful
articles made of rough materials in
neutral colors, such as crash and
other linens that are not too fine.
good soaking in warm water for
an hour is all that is needed to make
a Irvine of medium thickness as
glossy, smooth and flexible as can
be desired. and to change its color
to light, harmonizing shade. When
making a bureau scarf or table rum
ner the Irvine works best when ap-
piled in a long, continuous design or
in squares or circles. To make a
table runner use material about
eighteen inches wide. An inch above
the fringe. and again at five inches
above. draw five strands and hem
threads. After the Irvine has been
soaked and dried couch it onto the
runner with dark brown floss in any
plain running pattern that you would
like. If the pattern has any cor
ners to turn. at each corner work in
knot of stitching in yellow floss,
which will make it lie fatter.
When making cushions the Irvine
may be twisted into a thick cord for
binding the edges. and the cord may
be frayed into tassels. Another use
for the Irvine Is as a decoration and
drawing strings for a shopping bag.
An ingenious girl will think of still
other applications of the idea.
