.|LL|PAH WELL DOWN
TO 400 FT.OF DEPTH

]. E. Amenda, president of the Illi-
pah Basin Oil & Gas Co., arrived In
this city Sunday from the company's
property, few miles from Ely and
states that the drill on the test well is
going down as fast as three shifts of
competent workmen can make it
Increasing evidence of an oil well is
daily verified as depth is attained, and
according to Amenda, Wyoming oil
experts who visited the scene of op-
erations last week, pronounced it a
second Midwest and bought large
blocks of stock. Mr.. Amenda Is at
the Overland hotel in this city, where
he will remain for a few days.
Mr.. Amenda said today that the
100000 shares OF stock allotted to be
sold at ten cents per share were over
subscribed by $4,000 shares, which
puts the company in excellent finan.
cial condition, not only to bring in the
first well, If such it proves, which Off
cials believe will come in at depth
of 1900 feet, but also furnishes capital
to prospect the several domes in the
district.
During the last eight days of drill
ing the three shifts have sunk a depth
of 225 feet, making a total depth of
more than AGO feet for the Illipah well
at this writing.
Amenda says the drill is now in a
strata of sand stone which is figured
to be $40 feet thick. About half thai
distance. has been penetrated in this
strata and the drillers are of opinion
oil will be struck below this strata
of sand stone, perhaps within the next
10 feet. They feel practically GER
tain, Amenda says, that a strong pres
sure of gas will develop in that dis
tance, as gas is being blown from
crevices all around and as far as four
and one-half miles from the well.

MORE 1'HAN | BLAST
WILL MEAN A FIRE

Hereafter when the new fire whistle
sounds more than one blast, residents
may be assured fire alarm has been
turned in, Fire Chief Gillian said this
morning. Final installation Of the
automatic features of the whistle were
perected this morning by E. H. Ober-
top of the Ingersall-Rand company.
affiliated with the Gamewell concern,
who stopped off in Winnemucca for
the purpose while en- route from head
quarters at San Francisco to New
York.
Final testing of the whistle was ac-
complished this morning, and resi-
dents will testify that its ability to
make noise is sufficient. After the
testing Chief Gillian formally ac-
cepted the equipment for the city.
So now the old fire bell is passe
and alarms will be announced by the
whistle. Imaginary fire-alarm box
locations have been laid out, all num-
cSASut ohu SoA uo hoFS uccu QlStIlDuIcO
informing residents of the fire dis
tricts in which they live. AS an alarm
is turned in an operator at the Col
conda telephone Office will insert the
proper disc in the machine and the
correct number of blasts will there
after be automatically sounded, and
firemen will know exactly where to
go without wasting time telephoning
to learn the location. The principal
advantage in the new whistle, how
ever, is that it will be loud enough to
inform the fire fighters that something
is going on, thing the old bell did
not do and which caused firemen to
miss fires altogether.
1t is the desire of Chief Gillian to
have one blast sounded at twelve
o'clock noon, five and eight o'clock
p.m., primarily as a test to insure
constant working order, and as a con-
venience to residents. This feature,
however, has not yet been definitely
decided upon nor arrangements made
for the whistling at those hours.
So, remember, if you hear more
than one roar from the whistle an
alarm has been turned in.

WESTERN PROTEST WINS;
NO CHANGE IN GRAZING RATES

Grazing charges for live stock on
forest reserves will not be changed
Washington, d. c. In the agricultu-
raj appropriation bill, there was a
clause that provided for a change in

their congressional delegations, with
the result that the clause has been
eliminated.
