ENORMOUS CHECK
GIVEN T0NOPAHN

The biggest check ever seen in
Tonopah calls for 25,00O,000 on the
face of a draft issued by the Ameri-
can National Bank of San Francisco
in favor of Ed Monahan, the broker.
The amount in figures will not seem
SO large when it is known the draft
was drawn on the Dresdner Bank in
Hamburg, Germany, and the cur
rency is paper rubles. 1t will be
more interesting to know that the
draft was in filing an order from
customer of the Divide Brokerage
Company who asked for the equiv
alent of SIS American money. He
was not prepared for this avalanche
of wealth which he will try to col
lect as soon as possible, as every
day increases the chances of losing
his good American money as the
draft is endorsed by the maker:
"This draft is issued with the dis
tinct understanding that it will be
forwarded abroad Immediately for
presentation by the drawee. The
drawer will not be responsible
should the draft be dishonored as a
result of delay in presentation. !"

BODY OF COLDFlELD FIRE
VICTIM NOT YET FOUND


No trace of the body of J. A.
Dwyer, janitor in the National
hotel, who lost his life in the fire at
Goldfield, has been found, but the
search is being continued by two
workmen. The entire boiler room has
been cleared to the bottom and the
work of clearing out the rear of the
basement has been started. Dwyer's
room was on the top floor, over the
boiler room, and it was concluded
that the boiler room was the proper
place to explore first. II the body is
not found in the rear of the base
ment, it is thought that no further
search will be made.

OIL EXCITEMENT
NEAR TONOPAH

Excitement is rife: Speculation is
running high in Tonpah over the
latest oil developments in Fish Lake
valley by the Fish Lake Merger
Oil company of which Charles w.
Taylor is president. According to
latest reports circulated in Tonopah
an expert from Long Beach, with
the aid of a radio-divining instru-
ment has reported a favorable To-
cation four and one-half miles
southwest of Coaldale station on
the Bishop creek road in the Col
umbia salt marsh vicinity, Acting
on prevalent rumors more than 100
Tonopahns have visited the vicinity
of the reported stike to Investigate
and stake out claims. 1t is reported
that depth of 2250 feet will be
necessary before the oil is tapped
and that the well in all probability
will be one of the best ever drilled
with a possible production now said
to be estimated at 10000 barrels
daily.
The spudding in on the orig
inal prospect occurred May 20, 1921
before a crowd of 1000 people from
all sections of southern Nevada
when big barbecue was held to
celebrate the event. From present
indications the Fish Lake company
stands a fair chance of capturing
the $4,000 cash prize offered by
the state for the first commercial
oil producer brought in in Nevada.
The company is losing no time in
rushing supplies to the prospect and
already seven trucks loaded with
supplies and drills are said to have
been moved from the old well to the
new site. A number of Tonopahns
are planning to leave tomorrow for
the vicinity of the reported strike
for the purpose of stalking out
claims in order to be in when the
predicted boom occurs.
Report has it that the expert
who discovered the we'll has an I'M
usual process in which a radio out
fit is used for the purpose of deter
mining oil locations. The report fur
Their states that the expert is so pro-
ficient that he has been able by
use of the instrument while blind
folded to determine whether a well
was dry or not and to also deter
mine the depth.
Inasmuch as the reported strike
is in close proximity to Tonopah
and the majority of stock held by
residents here this town is expected
to derive great benefit from the
boom which is predicted. While
work will be rushed on the promis-
ing prospect as much as possible it
is not likely, according to those
who are in touch with the situation
that oil will be produced for or
6 months yet.-Tonopah Bonoaza.

LOWER SILVER PRICE
AFFECTS BETTY O'NEAI

The Betty O'Neal Mines, under
the management of Noble H. Get
chell, has laid off a number of men,
stopping all outside improvements
and concentrating on development
so that the mine will be in condition
when the price of silver advances
| to operate on an economical basis
to the full capacity of the 25O-ton
flotation mill. Production in the
meantime will be held down to a
maximum of $50 tons per day, the
capacity of the new fiotation unit,
says the Nevada Mining Press.
One of the betterments in the
mine, which will cut down tram
ming costs, is the extension of No.
5 tunnel to connect with the huge
orebody opened in No. a. The face
of No. 5 is within so feet of the
connection and rapid progress is be-
ing made. When it is completed the
distance will be reduced from 1900
to 500 feet. Mule trains will then
be used to haul the ore, dispensing
with the services of eight TRAINERS.
The mine is reported to be in
excellent condition and the mill is
treating around 100 tons per day.
The new mill unit is being broken in
and in a short time the old unit
will be closed down and some
changes made to make it conform
with the arrangements of the second
unit. The ore milled averages about
= ounces of silver per ton and the
Az" sactlon is 81 per cent. The por-
