WILL STRIKE OIL At
ELKO, SAYS GE0L0G|s1

"They are going to strike oil at
Elko. Do not say that on my au-
thority, but upon that of Mr.. Hook,
the geologist," said F. l.. Rigsby,
old-timer of Ely, who has been here
for the last two days after spending
a month at the oilfeld.
The we'll is down 1900 feet and
the plant is equipped to go down an
other thousand feet with a small
hole. 1t is but four and a half isch-
es, but that ought to be deep enough,
or close to it,"
Mr.. Rigsby says the present for
nation is a sort of sandy shale and
the g%eologist says it is exceedingly
favorable and he has every conf
dence.
Assessment work on Mr.. Rigsby's
oil shale claims was done during the
hat he was there and he in
tends to hang onto them.

DECISION PREVENTS
LIQUOR GRAND JURY

Calling of a county grand jury to
Investigate liquor conditions in Ely
and other towns in the district has
been rendered impossible by the de-
cision of the supreme court invalidat-
ing the Whiteley law. 1t had been
rumored that Judge McFadden had
such plan under consideration.
Nevada stands in the same position
as New York, having no prohibition
law other than being under the Vol
stead act, which makes violators
amenable to the federal court only,
removing all jurisdiction from state,
county and police courts The law
implies that state, county and town
officers are to assist federal officers
in enforcement of the federal law
but the offenders and revenues must
go to the federal court alone.
The effect of the decision is to dc
away with double and triple jeop'
ardy in Nevada, making it possible
to punish once only FOR a giver
transaction.

Mrs. Nixon Rehear1ng

By denying a rehearing this week

Nixon, made a public presentation OF

she participated, she could not repu-
date the gift on the ground of It be-

jim FORMAN, MOHAWK
OWNER, DIES ON COAST

James H. Forman, pioneer of To-
nopah and Goldleld, died Monday at
San Francisco of paralysis. He was
a brother of William and Sam D.
Forman, the former a prominent at
torney of Tonopah.
Jim Forman was one of the orig
inal owners of the Mohawk mine at
Goldfeld, having 100000 shares, ac-
cording to current understanding at
the time. When in 1906 the shares
were around $3.50 he was offered
100000 cash for his holdings, the
offer being made by J. H. Carstairs,
the Philadelphia whisky millionaire,
which was promptly accepted. This
was the immediate cause of the Mo-
hawk boom, the stock going to $1,000
before the labor troubles of that fall
stopped it.
The Kalfus and Hayes-Monette
leases on the Mohawk were turning
out gold by the million and the latter
alone yielded $4,000, 900 in about
a years time.
Carstairs joined interests with
Nixon and Wingfield, helping them
to organize the Goldfield Consolidat-
ed. Mohawk stock was taken in at
a value of $40 a share, two shares OF
Consolidated being given in exchange
for Mohawk. Jumbo and Red Tor
were taken at IS a share, or two for
one of Consolidated. The Goldfeld
Mining Company, owning the Janu-
airy, the Combination and the Laguna
were taken in on similar terms, the
Exchanges having been on the ap.
proximate value Of the stocks at the
time.
Forman used $4,000 of the money
he received to buy Piper's Oasis
ranch, over the California line. He
ran it two or three years and sold it.
He is believed to have retained the
bulk of his wealth and is not known
to have uttered a plant over having
overlooked the opportunity of re-
ceiving $2,o00,000 instead of $780,
900 for his Mohawk shares. He was
universally liked, being the soul OF
generosity.

How Prohibition Is
Kept Out Of Politics

Jonathan Payne has been removed
as assistant to the federal prohibition
officer in Nevada and Charley Nor
cross appointed in his stead. Payne
had changed his registration from
democrat to republican but that did
no good. Norcross has long been 4
pct of Senator Oddie. He was Cd
die's private secretary when the lat

political factotum and gogetter.
Two or three times Noroross has

as a mining promoter in southern
Nevada he has a long list of unre-

by continual litigation. I can
appreciate your feelings about
the matter of entering into a
controversy. | had hoped that
the question of taxation of mines
was settled incident. l do not
desire another mine tax contro.
versy. l do not believe that it
is advisable to penalize persons
and corporations in order that
equity may be done to the state
of Arizona, but [ cannot as gov.
ernor of this state see a condition
permitted to develop which will
mean that the big taxpayers Of
Arizona will be able to say to
the state of Arizona what taxes
they shall pay. [ am not ready
to grant thata creature created
by the state shall be permitted
to become so strong and so
powerful that it is able through
the exercise of legal quibbles
and warranted litigation to
hamstring its creator. Ii it be.
comes necessary to call the le-
gislature of the state of Arizona
into special session to consider
this question [ think | may find
it expedient to recommend what
you advise.
Nothing can be more certain
than that our system of govern
ment is bound to disintegrate
and decay if the power to levy
taxation is taken out of the
hands of the elected represent
atives of the people and placed
in the hands of corporations and
taxpayers foreign to the state,
and nothing can destroy the
government of the various states
more certainly than the central
ization of power over all the
affairs Of government in the
hands OF federal judiciary. The
judicial oligarchy being built up
in this country under the act of
Congress is becoming a menace
to freedom, liberty and justice,
and [ intend, as soon as the con.
gress of the United States as
sembles, to place this matter
squarely before the United States
senators and the representative
of the statesof Arizona that they
may bring it to the attention of
the congress of the United

ROAD MAINTENANCE BIG ITEM

Thirty seven million dollars
will be expended for mainten-
ance and reconstruction of state
and county roads in California
during the fiscal years 1923-1924
and 1924-1925.
During this period the State
Highway Commission will re-
construct 3647 miles of state
highway, at a cost of SO, $40, 100.
The state will maintain 1926
miles of improved highways at d
cost of 81, 1872, 249 in 1923-24 and
4 148 miles at a cost of 81, $780,
SIS in 1924-25.
California has done some very
good work in adding a two foot
shoulder on each side of the pre-
sent concrete roads which are
crystallizing under traffic impact
and filling in the space between
with an asphaltic concrete wear
ing surface about three inches
thick.
Thus, is the old road base
utilized at great saving to the
taxpayers and an additional four
feet in width is secured to handle
increased traffic.
Western road construction has
proved conclusively that the
shock absorbing qualities of as
phaltic concrete withstand traffic
impact most successfully.
