WASTE OIL ON WATER
CAUSES DEATH OF DUCKS

Because there was a needless dc
struction of game birds every seas-
on at Las Vegas, Nevada, in allow
ing oil and oil waste from the shons
of the Union Pacific railway system
to be deposited on a pool of water
covering five acres, which the birds
were in the habit of resorting tn.
especially at night, reports we're
made to county and state game Of
ficials and finally to the Biological
Survey of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The birds, alighting on the oil
covered water, got their feathers so
matted by the sticky fluid that 1t
was impossible for them to fly.
Though some reached land then
eventually died from exposure and
slow starvation, while as many as
9S, mostly ducks, we're found dead
on the pool at one time.
DR.. e. w. Nelson. Chief of the
Biological Survey, suggested that
practicable measures could be taken
to prevent a further discharge of oil
where II would be menace to mi
gratory wild fowl, and w. II. Com
stock, general manager in charge of
rilroad operations in the area, re-
piled that acting on his suggestion
the company had authorized an ex-
penditure of 1880 for the install
lation of an oil recovery plant which
would remedy the situation.
Commenting on this action. DR..
Nelson stated that such prompt CO.
operation of railway officials with
conservationists is an excellent ex-
ample which 1t is predicted will be
followed by companies and indiyid-
ua1s in other parts of the country,
who are responsible for similar
waste.
Several bills, also, have been in
troduced in Congress designed to
prevent water pollution by oil and
oil waste, especially where it is a
menace not only to wild birds, but
fish and shell-fsh, and where 1t
contaminates the water at bathing
beaches.

Pioneer Miner and
Prospector Dies

Dan Craig, aged 72, well known
miner and prospector, died at the
county hospital at o'clock Sunday
morning Craig had been working
some very favorable mining claims
near Alpine for the past few years.
His health had been poor for some
time and when the report was re-
ceived in Fallon Saturday that he
was practically helpless Sheriff
Smith drove out with car and
brought him into the county hos
pital Everything possible was done
to aid his recovery but old age and
the hardships of the past winter
had exhausted his strength and he
did not live through the night. The
remains were inferred in the Fallon
cemetery Sunday afternoon.
Dan Craig was man of moder-
ate means and we'll known in the
west as a miner and prospector, hav-
ing been identified with nearly ev-
cry important mining camp during
the past thirty years. He won the
affection and respect of all who
knew him. Many people from Fal-
Ion have enjoyed Craig's hospitality
while on hunting trips in the Alpine
country where his cabin was often
used as headquarters. Nothing def
mite is known about any surviving
relatives.
