TEST
Is T THOROUGH
AND CAREFUL
Prof. Dinsmore Returns With
Senator Henderson. and
Complete Survey of all
Mains is Made

Senator Charles B Henderson, In
company with Prof q. C. Dinsmore Q
the University OF Nevada arrived in
this city yesterday morning and again
q thorough and careful test was H,adt.
OF the Elko water mains. Senato1
Henderson, upon hearing OF the rl-
mored taint in this city's water, lost
no time In insisting upon animmediate
investigation. Although Dinsmore
had been here for two days last week
making tests Henderson requested
him to accompany him here again and
to take tests from every portion of
the water mains of this city in or
der to determine finally whether. or
not there was any danger from the
city water source.
Yesterday morning samples of city
water were taken from the company's
box In Kittridge canyon, from the
taps in tile residences of Mrs. Ida
Hunter and Mr.. Will r. Englert on
the hill. Further samples were talk
en- from taps on the flat and also
from taps OF the Western Pacific COM
pany in the eastern part OF town.
From these samples Senator Hen
derson stated yesterday that the city
water supply is pure but that the
water used by the Western Pacific
Company Is impure. The reason for
his state Of affairs is substantiaiIy
as stated by the Independent few
days ago.. The company is pumping
water out of the river for use In ITS
engines. A check valve maintained
by the water company near the pump
used by the railroad was taken out
by some unthInking person aud az
result the river water Is being forced
by -tkes Esstaay pump up throssh the
mains to the taps of the company
from which the dining ear water sup
ply Is taken.
( Prof. DinsmoFe will announce the
results of his tests on both visits
within dsg or two. IE the mean-
time residents Of this city living In
the hill district as well as on the flat
to Vine os. dernarcation existing at
the Western Pacific Railway Depot
may rest assured that the water In
thosed istrfcts is pure. Those living
near the Western Pacific depot and
whose water supply Is in any way
connected with the taps used by the
depot are advised to thoroughly boil
their water supply before using IL for
culinary or drinking purposes.

Eko Oil Development and npr oveent Co. Makes Record IN
Bringing Outfit Over Fifty Miles to Well Site Settinu "
Machinery, Spudding w ell, and Drilling Thirty
Nine Feet in One Week -: , FL

The drilling machinery belonging to
the Elko OIL Development & Improve
ment Company which Is now on the
ground and digging away through q
formation of hard limestone was brot
distance Of nearly sixty miles. set up
and started and distance OF thrifty
nine feet drilled In exactly one week.
This is o record In Nevada oil annals
and speaks well for the, engineering
abilities OF the local drillers. The hole
was spudded yesterday morning about
ten o'clock When the drill was with
drawn at five o'clock In the evening It
was down exactly 80 feet.
The drilling rig performed perfectIp
and from the progress made 1t is evil
dent that this Is a real machine and
its steadily churning down was reve-
lation to those who were watching It
pound away.
The location of the well being drill
ed Is about a mile and a quarter north
east of the city reservoirs and is
reached by a road turning OFF the high
way2at the eastern extreaity OF the
Smith Farm.
The rig Is Star No. % ana IS op-
Grated by steam which is supplied by
a forty horsepower tractor. coal be-
ing used for fuel.
Much interest is being taken In the
progress Of this project as Il opens a
ne windustry in Elkd and Elko county
as this is the pioneer effort in the
county and it's proximity to this city
gives rise to the belief that Elko may
become famous as an oil center for
oil here would mean boom that
would be phenomenal.
The hole being drilled is twelve
inches In diameter and is an effort to
strike artesian water which this com
pany believes exists at comparative
ly shallow depth. 1t Is said by engi-
neers that this vicinity issa wonderful
water shed and from the lack. OF ey-
idences Of this on the surface and
from the snow fall on the hills adjac.
ent subterranean channels OF water
must come down from the hills and
the well being drilled is high enough
up the slope to insure the purity of
this water, which probably exists IN
large quantity.

the event that it Is unsuccessful

This condition is to be established at

Although It would have been possible
to have gone to Reno without effort
