REPORTS
DIFFER ON DIVIDE

The report of f. A. Julian, engineer
for the Tonopah Divide. which was
made public last week and which
placed the ore reserve of the mine q:
$1,3S5, 900. has caused considerao.e
comment in mining circles, says the
Reno Gazette, because of the wide
variance in this report and that Of
A. L. Darcy, msde on July l, 1919,
in which Darcy said there was 4
possible ore reserve of something
more than $4,000. 0OO.
Darcy takes issue with Julian and
stands on his report declaring in o
telegram to A. II. Howe, Reno broker,
that Julian's report is ill-advised.
Howe telegraphed to Darcy for a
statement. His telegram was as fol-
lows:
Pardon suggestion but present
situation is reflecting seriously upon
your reputation and l think you
should carefully consider a course of
action calculated to preserve the pub
lie esteem that you have enjoyed,
which Is an asset of great value. Your
present status is utterly impossible.
You may not realize extent of public
condemnation as l see it"
In reply Mr.. Darcy wired:
Thanks for your wire and I want
to say that / have no apology, ex-
cuse, correction or ~retraction TO
make in regard to my report concern
ing Tonopah Divide. On the other
hand I do not consider Mr.. Julian $
report ~justiiable, but rather very i'll
advised. 1t would be fruitless to en-
ter a long discussion regarding the
reports so at this time | will simpl.
say that l stand on my report regard
less of any discrepancies that my
exist between my report and the re-
port of Mr.. Julian"

what | have seer in other western
districts.
MY forecasts OF Two months ago
have been borne out to the letter as
the drilling log of the Fallon Oil q
Gas Company we'll attests. There
brown shale and gravel ~alternated in
exactly the same ann as has
characterized the development OF
California and Wyoming fields and
n a depth of 52S feet a gas pocket
was developed which was containet
with the shale formation. II was then
hat / prophesied that oil would DC
encountered within the following 100
feet of penetration. the pool being
encountered at 669 feet.
THE significance of this discovery
cannot be overestimated for | have
seen 1500-barrel wells and greater
.eveloped with less showing and there
is no limit to the possibilities ex-
ampled by the oil pool on the Fallof
Oil & Gas Company's ground.
THE oil developed Monday, is un
doubtedly of a higher gravity thar
any produced in California, this ad
vantage being due to the higher ele
walton of the country.
ITO make a summary of the feel
one must say at the outset that i
is too extensive in area to adm
of definite statement in a single re
gard, but splendid prospects are hel'
out for getting oil in paying quaint
ties over a wide area. Distinct ba
sins, where pools must exist, arr
many in number and even the fla
flung Eastgate and Westgate sections
are likely to show oil in quantity, Z
relationship existing between thes,
territories and the territory as
whole.
This entire territory has a wei
defined structure which naturally
presents difficulty in following out
by reason of it's vast area and the

time that would be required in MAX
ing definite determinations. The
fact that the Fallon Oil & Gas Com
pany has brought in a we'll must
prove that the structure OF the dis
trict is intact and not broken as dur
ing late months. On the other hand
there are innumerable folds which
throw oil into pools and the logical
conclusion is that there are many
pots in the basin, literally the very
lap of the Lahontan Valley where
great oil supplies exist.
"A competent g~eologist must De
secured % make new determination.
He will find here all Of the oil shales
and characteristic formations as re-
vealed by the log Of the new well and
to my mind the logical conclusion IL
that underlying the oil pool developed
Monday are lower stratas prolific in
oil.
This belief is so firmly established
in my mind that l have invested in
the stocks of many of the companies
operating in the district and have, IN
addition, acquired substantial oil land
holdings of my own. ! confidently
look forward to a big production OF
oil in the Fallon district and feel that
a stage has been reached in the pro-
ceedings hat gives absolute assur-
ance for success and complete bona
fdeness to further development effort
on the part of the companies operat-
ing in the district"
Boggs' statements are fully credite |
wherever he talks on oil subjects. He
has had charge Of the drilling OF
more than rs wells in the different
oil districts of the United States. o
than 200 of the wells being in the
Coalinga, California, district. Dis
cussing the matter, Mr.. Boggs gave
the opinion hat the biggest body OF
oil would be encountered at between
1900 and 1900 feet of depth.

FA[LON VIEWS ON
OIL STRIKE THERE
Continued from Page One)

continued from rage OueJ
cial observation of the area included
within the district that oil must ex-
list here in quantity. l use the term
superficial because contour and for
nation so clearly conform to pro-
ducing fields that doubt whether oil
would be developed never arose in
my mind.
1T has long been the accepted
theory that the California oil suppl
came largely from Nevada In runoffs
occurring during the tertiary period,
and that, for this reason, Nevada had
no oil, but theory is exploded by
actually every time a new feld Is
brought in so that uniqueness Is
lacking nero in this regard, oil being
where you find it.
1T would not be correct to say that
favorable geological formation is not
existent here, for it is, but alleged ex-
perts have made top ground reports
based on the notion that lake bed
deposits undertake the valley and
shales and sandstones were lacking.
1t remained for the Fallon Oil & Gas
Company TO disprove this contention
once and for all, and when | arrived
here last week | went to every hole
in the district and made observations.

executrix of the last Will and testa-
ment of Arthur Rodgers, deceased,
declaring that the latter was the own
err of the land. Carpenter, however,
through counter claim and cross COM
plaint. alleged ownership of the land
himself and his predecessors for a
continuous period of more than thirty
years, and produced evidence which
showed the maintenance of enclos-
ures reclamation of the lands and
gradual irrigation of them since the
year 1874.
The third case decided was al APP
peal from the ruling of Clerk Will
lam Kennett in the case of r. s. Page
and Marie Olive Page against Mark
Walser and Frank Margrave. Walsor
and Margrave had appealed from an
adverse lower court decision on q
for a change of venue. What
the clerk construed to be extra pro-
ceedings were instituted in the SUI
preme court and the filing of the pa
pers was refused unless the custom
airy fee was paid. This was done I'M
der protest. Later the transcript III
the case was filed and the usual fee
paid. An appeal was taken on the
ruling and requirement of the
payment of the extra fee. The court
held that the clerk was justified as ?
precautionary step to adopt his
course. but that the matter was not
a special proceeding in the sense con
templated by law. and he was ordered
to make a refund. The opinion was
written by Chief Justice Coleman,
both associates %concurring.
