TWO BORED WELLS CoMPLETEE

F. w. Ahlers completed a second
well last week in Fish Greek Valley
for the Eureka Land & Live Stock
Company. The first one was bored
at the ranch home Of the company at
Fish Creek, where it was expected q
good flow would be obtained at less
than 100 feet, but it was found nee
essary to sink to 460 feet before tap
ping flow. At this depth the water
came in strong and now stands at
only eleven feet from the surface.
The second well for the company
was driven in the fiat about IL miles
south of Fish Creek and a flow was
found at 165 feet. This well was con-
tinued down to 800 feet, but without
increasing the flow and boring was
stopped at this point. The water in
this well now comes to within 1870
feet of the surface, and it is thought
will furnish sufficient water for stock
purposes.

GAS ExPLoDEs


The explosion that occurred at the
Europa Hotel about the middle of
the week was caused by a blaze of
hre from the electric light engine
reaching the accumulated gas in the
large underground sump into which
the engine exhausts. A three inch
pipe that extends to the top of the
hotel building and reaches down into
the sump is planned to carry OF the
exhaust gas from the engine, but
evidently this became obstructed in
some manner and failed to carry of
and discharge the accumulated gas.
The engine that is run with coal
oil was giving trouble and was being
prfmed with gasoline. and when 1t
kicked OF is thought to have carried
a spark through the exhaust into the
sump and caused the explosion of
the accumulated gas. This large un-
derground sump is rooted by heavy
timbers covered with several feet of
earth, and when the gas exploded 1t
forced an opening up through the
roof and made quite a hole, but for
tunately doing little damage.

LIVE STOCK CONDITIONS
IN CENTRAL NEVADA.

Walter H. Handley of Eureka.
writing Of general range and stock
conditions In this section of Nevada.
has the following correspondence in
the current issue of the Nevada Stock
grower:
What lambs are to be sold this
season out of this part of the coun-
try, so far as I know have already
been sold. No buyers came in so
lambs were shipped out and prices
varied quite bit. Lambs that went
west netted from 1910 to $3.50, and
one bunch or maybe two that went
east netted about $3.50 per head.
These sales were all made before the
slump of late August and early Sep
tember. Shipments that were sold
during the slump all happened to go
east and made bad prices only netting
from $2.20 to $3.50 per head and
one other shipment that reached Om-
aha after the market recovered, made
$3.50 per head. These prices were
for good quality, sixty-pound lambs
The cost per head to ship lambs
from Eureka to Omaha when these
lambs were shipped was about $3.50
per head.
No sales of young ewes are report
ed and this is the class of stuff that
every one that can afford will hold.
Probably one could make few buys
of mixed aged ewes at about $6 per
head.
There has been very little inquiry
for cattle of any kind. One little
bunch, SO some odd steers, was sent
to California but I never learned the
price. know of another sale of
choice 3-year-old steers at cents
per pound and cents for fat cows.
One bunch OF stock cattle changed
hands, hear, at $50 per head.
In this section sheep numbers have
increased probably 20% and cattle
about % in the last five years.
Hay is plentiful on nearly every
ranch one sees.
What Winter range l have been
on is not as good as / expected and
not so good as usual but reports have
it that it is better further south.
Stockmen and ranchers were
pleased to learn that they were like
ly to receive financial aid from the
Government through the local banks
and think it will strengthen prices
and increase demand for stock of all
kinds.
What most concerns the stockmen
of this section at this time is the ere
alton of a greater demand for what
we have to sell. even though prices
are not so high, and financial aid to
allow us to hold all young she stuff.
If stockmen can not hold their best
eve lambs and young ewes, heifer
calves and young cows, they will soon
find themselves out of the business.
