525.1 Elko Gas

Carlin to Wells NV, May 25

"...I stopped overnight in Carlin, and left at 5:10, still travelling in the canyon, which extends from Palisade, thirty-five miles further east, to Elko...After tramping ten miles I reached Elko, where I stopped to by some gasoline...I got what two beer bottles would hold, about three pints, and paid four bits for it.  This is at a rate of about $1.25 a gallon, and was the highest price I paid anywhere...I used an average of two quarts of gasoline to every fifty miles very uniformly...I should say the average price I paid was about 40 cents a gallon... "
