ADVOCATES
FEDERAL HIGHWAY AID

At the regular meeting OF the
board OF county commissioners last
/ Monday District Attorney II " Ed
wards proposed that the board con-
slider the adyisability of making a
bond issue under the state highway
law which provides that each county
may issue bonds for the building of
highways within the county limits
and receive federal aid in the pro
ject
White Pine county has the privil-
eye OF issuing bonds 10 the extent of
sl50.0o0 for building OF roads and
In the event the county should make
this issue the federal government
will add a sum equal TO that raised
by the bond issue TO be expended on
the work under federal supervision.
la the opinion OF District Attorney
Edwards the county should take ad-
vantage of this opportunity which
would mean that at least 100000
could be raised for road work in the
county.
Advancing the idea that this
amount would not make excellent
roads in all parts OF the county. the
district attorney suggested that the
whole amount be spent in, one road
that would be- permanent and a last
ing monument to the efforts of the
administration.
II was the suggestion of the dis
trict attorney that a concrete high
way be constructed from McGill to
Keystone to join with the Lincoln
Highway project No. 8 which was
constructed last year by the Lincoln
Construction company.
This matter was given considera-
tion by the board and resulted In the
passing of resolution authorizing
Commissioner Meyers to go to Car
son City and consult with State En-
gineer c. c. Cottrell as to the cost
OF such road and the possibilities
of the county undertaking such a
project.

RICH COPPER IN
OLD TAYLOR NINE

Reports from good authority have
been made this week relative to a
big strike of ore in the old Taylor
shaft of the Coppermines company.
The new strike is reported to be the
opening up of over Is feet of per
cent copper in the old working which
for several years has been a cause of
contention owing to the different
opinions held by engineers OF the
company.
Jack Sales. chief engineer OF the
GirOux for number of years, held
the opinion that the Taylor shaft was
the logical place for operations at
the time when the early development
work was undertaken.
In the opinion of mining experts
the Taylor shaft is located on the
ground beyond the great fault and
assure from which the overflow in
the teaching process of nature formed
the deposits of low grade copper at
Copper Flat and that somewhere in
the direction of the Taylor shaft the
big copper mine of the future will be
opened up. In the vicinity of the
Taylor shaft the formation is that of
heavy lime cap which is believed to
nave held the copper and here is
where what might be called the
mother lode OF copper will be dis
covered. The Taylor shaft is located
north of the Giroux shaft and north
of the old Veteran where the work
ings all indicated the copper to be TO
the north rather than in other direc-
tions. The edge of the Veteran work
ings opened up indications which the
Taylor discovery seems To have
proved.
rhe discovery of the high grade
ore in the Taylor shaft will un-
! doubtedly cause rush for ground in
the district once held by the old Rob
inson company which lies north of
the new discovery.

OIL COMPANY WARNS
AGAINST KNOCKERS

Whenever new enterprise begins
to show signs of success. the knock
ers. and you find them everywhere,
get ont their little hammers and get
busy.
The lilipah Basin Oil a Gas COM
pany. local enterprise. which is
largely financed by local capital, is
the latest victim.
George A. Foster, manager of the
company. Informed News represen-
tative that 1t has been reported to
him from several sources that the
story is going the rounds that the
drill his company has is only good
for 500 feet
This story, said Mr.. Foster. is al
most too ridiculous to take time to
deny. but there may be some who
will give it credence.
Before purchasing this drill, "
said Mr.. Fotser. Il conferred with
J. w. Rowiey and Ira Mcfarland.
both old-tips drillers with expert
enee with drills of same make and
size. Mr.. Mcfarland informed me
that he would guarantee this drill to
go between 1000 and $500 feet, and
MIR. Rowley says there is no question
about IL being good for 1900 feet
at the least.
According TO biologists who have
examined the Illipah formation. we
should encounter oil between 1000
and 1900. This drill will be all that
is needed IL the depth is not more
than 1000 feet. but should the oil
he deeper we will be prepared TO go
deeper with standard rig. We are
meeting with better success than we
ever expected in this district. Almost
every business man In Ely. McGil
Ruth and Kimberly is boosting for
us, and backing the boost with
good hard cash. So, Mr.. knocker,
keep 'er going: your knocks don't
hurt, but il you will go out to the
field and see what we are doing. YOU
will become a booster.
