WATER RESOURCES
OF OUR STATE

The absolutely unprecedented
shortage OF water along the lower
Walker river has brought about
many complaints to the State Engin
eer's office the last two or three days
In order to assist in tiding over the
emergency water commissioners have
been appointed by State Engineer
Scrugham to, protect the pId de-
creed rights along the river. He and
one Of his deputies will leave Car
son in day or two to get first-hand
idea of the situation in order to be
better able to take measures that may
be necessary to handle the difficult
situation that is bound to arise
Reports that have reached Carson
from various sources are that the
present flow in the lower part of the
Walker River is practically nothing.
1t is agreed that the riven was never
known to be SO low at this time of the
year as at present
The same condition is said to pre-
vail along the lower part of the Hum
boldt river system. Complaints are
coming in from that section also.
AS one example, it is stated that the
Lovelock reservoir which is normal
ly filled with 10000 acre feet of wa
ter at this season of the year. now
actually has stored less than 5000
acre-feet of water. showing that prac-
tically no water is flowing down the
bed of the stream.
The State Engineer and his force are
anticipating-but not with any de-
gree of pleasure--several months of
strenuous activity because of the un-
usual shortage conditions along the
Walker and Humboldt systems

PRICE OF FURs
ON THE DECLINE

The great boom in fur prices,
which has been the sensation of the
entire West for the past two sea-
sons, seems at last to have reached
its end. At least such appears to be
the fact from returns received from
recent shipments to Eastern fur
buyers as we'll as from various state
ments and quotations received from
them during the past few days, says
the Winnemucca STAR Prices of
coyotes have fallen from SIS to a
great deal less, and in the past week
as low as so cents have been re-
ceived for skins that a few weeks
ago were selling for $40 or more.

OIL STOCK JUMPS
IN FALL0N FIELD
(Fallon Eagle)

(Fallon Eagle)
Fallon got her first glimpse of a
real Gil boom last Monday night fol-
lowing the news of the development
of oil in the Fallon Oil and Gas Co.'S
we'll Is miles east of town.
Driller Smith broke into oil sand
at depth of $50 feet after driving
rotary drill through 50 feet Of sand
the rotary drill through 50 feet of
sandstone, shale and blu etleimosn
sandstone, shale and blue limestone.
The water that was forced down
though the drill rod brought up q
black looking oil, which is described
as floating out on the .oil and sand
in strings like so many fingers. The
bubbles which are seen constantly
told the story that natural gas was
seeking an outlet from the hidden re-
sources of Mother Earth.
When the news spread OF this first
oil strike made below regular STRAIT
flied formation, the people of Fallon
immediately began struggle for
purchase of stock in the Fallon Oil
and G. as Co. To give everybody
fair chance, President Wayne Young
and Treasurer M. B. Johnson, two
well-known Fallon businessmen, ar
ranged for ,four of the brokerage
companies to handle the stock in cer-
tain blocks, with the understanding
that the stock would jump from Is
cents to fifty cents per share at 10
a. m. the next morning
People stood in line with green
backs and checks by the handful,
waiting their turn to secure the COW
eted stock, and this continued until
after midnight. The next morning
the rush was resumed, and up to the
last minute there were anxious buy
ers.
Then the stock OF the Fallon Oil
and Gas Company shot up to so cents
share-a mark from which there
is every reason to Believe it Will
never recede. but instead is destined
to soar higher and higher.
Notwithstanding that many I had
seen the oil being brought up from
the Fallon Oil and Gas Company
well through the rotary process.
there was no evidence left for those
who visited the place after the drill
stopped, and it was therefore graft
flying when the drill was started on
roaming out the hole for the eight
inch casing that quantity of heavy
black oil was brought to the surface.
Samples of this oil were brought to
Fallon. A thrce-ounce bottle OF
water was about twovthirtls filled
with water and the remaining third
was heavy black oil rising to the
top Other samples were secured in
similar proportions, and most OF
these were divided and taken away
by people who came from Reno, To-
nopah and other places.
No one who saw this oil could re-
sonably question the existence OF oil
pools beneath the Lahontan valley.
None OF the oil men expected that
the black fluid would be developed
even in small quantities at such
shallow depth.
