panies, w. II. Miller, of Reno, has
a Keystone rig which will have
spudded in by August 1st. Miller has
purchased 100 acres from the Fallon
Oil & Gas Company.
Beyond the Fallon Oil & Gas Com

by steam is used. Work is now sus-

pipe casing. Work was suspended at
a depth of $50 feet.
The Fallon Pioneer, about five miles
northeast from the Fallon Oil & Gas
Company's well, has a standard rig
and at a depth of 100 feet quit work

company is well financed and when
the price of stock had reached twenty
five cents it was withdrawn from the

The Lahontan Oil Syndicate erected
their first derrick in the field on May

through was soft and full of boulders

hree weeks ago the crank shaft of the

discovered and the management de-
ided to abandon the workings and
tart a new hole with a standard rig

BOYLE ADVOCATES
FUSION CANDIDATES

The following letter has been re-
ceived by The Silver State from the
National Security League of New
York City. with request for publica-
ton.
Carson City, July II, 1920.
Il have your letter of the 18th in
slant in which you transmit a state
ment suggesting the necessity of fu-
sion in a number of congressional dis
tricts in Greater New York, for the
purpose of insuring against the cleo
ton to congress of the Socialist nomi-
nees.
Il am one of those who believe the
action of the New York legislature in
ousting certain Socialist members
regularly elected, to be entirely out
of tune with the spirit of the Ameri-
can constitution.
AT the same time, | believe that
the real odium attaches to those
Americans who insist on squabbling
oNCt thC liiiO uliCISDtCo CAiStiu6
between the parties and thereby per-
hitting the election by minorities of
men who in no sense of the word rep
resent true Americanism.
The answer to all of the disgrace
full things which occurred in New
York on this proposition within re
cent months, is in the laying aside o.
petty craftsmanship, and the fighting o.
the revolutionary group at the ballot
box where American issues are pre-.
sumed to be determined.
Certainly, Democrats and Republi
cans should fuse to defeat Socialist.
where such action is necessary. You
may make any use which appears
proper to you of this letter.
Very sincerely yours.
