A GEOLOGICAL FREAK.-In the bottom of the
main shaft of the Virginia City Coal Company
FL Dorado Canyon, Lyon County. has been en-
countered the trunk of a tree four feet in di-
ameter, a lone relic of an ancient and extinct
forest. Where cut through by the shaft. says
the Enterprise this old tree is found to be per-
fectly carboDized-turned into coal. Outside
the log is completely crbsted over with iron
pyrites, many of which are so bright that the
crystals shine like diamonds. These pyrises
also extend into the body of the log, filling
what were apparently once cracks or wind
shakes, and even forming clusters about what
was once the heart of the tree. This relic of
an oldTtime forest lies far below the two veins
of coal the company are about to open. The
finding Of this old trunk is evidence that the
country was at some time, ages and ages ago
covered by forest Of large trees though the
native timber growth, when the country was
arst Visited by the VIII .es, and as far back as
the traditions of the Indians extend, was but
. scrubby species Of ut-pine. A few miles
from the shaftin which this carbonized tree
was found are to be seen on the surface the
petrifed remains of many large trees. In the
early days of Wsshoe, before the prospectori
had broken them up for specimens, pieces Of
tree-trunks two or three feet in diameter and
twenty or thirty feet in length were to be seer
lying upon the surface Of the ground. How.
ever. these trees. and even the one found in
the bottom Of the shaft Of the coal mine, may
have come from the, foothills of the Sierra
Nevads Mountains-may have driftsd out
when seas Of water everywhere covered our
present valleys. The water lines visible on
the hills show that the whole country was
filled with lakes. and the petrined trees lying
here and there on the ground probably fioated
out on the wsters of the extinct lakes and I'm
ally sunk to the bottom In the places where
they are now found.
