4 PETRiFIED FOREST IN THE DE-
sEIT.

The Winnemucca Star says: From
David Rideout, who has been engaged in
preparing a section OF petrifed tree for
the Centennial Exhibition, we learn the
following relative TO the petrifed forest
10 the desert OF Northwestern Humboldt.
On the plain, about 30 miles west of the
Blackrock range Of mountains, stands
one of the greatest natural curiosities
ever discovered in Nevada. Ii Is petrl-
fed forest in which the stumps of many
of the trees, now changed into solid rock,
are still standing. There are no living
trees or vegetation of any kind other
than stunted sage brush in the vicinity.
Some OF these ancient giants OF forest
which fourished perhaps thousands OF
years ago, when the climate OF Nevada
was undoubtedly more favorable for the
growth OF luxuriant vegetation than al
present, rival in size the big trees OF
California. Stumps, transformed into
solid rock, stand 10 an upright position,
with their roots Embedded in the soil, rs
when growing, that measure from fifteen
TO twenty-six feet In circumference, and
The trunks and limbs, which retain their
natural shape and size. MIR. Rideont,
determining 10 secure a section Of one OF
these trees for The Centennial Exhibition,
with two other men, spent twelve days
in cutting il from the stump. This was
accomplished by drilling all around the
tree and separating IL with wedges. The
specimen is three feet aigh and eighteen
feet in circumference, aud its estimated
weight Is three tons. IL stands on the
stump from which il was severed, ready
TO be loaded on a wagon.

she has bad for great many years this
passion for collecting birds aud beasts.
She began the collection for her own
pleasure, and took several courses of in-
struction from taxidermists, that she
might be familiar with all the processes.
Her own methods, however, are peculiar.
She mods the animal first Of plaster, just
as she wishes IL 10 stand. Then she COW
ers il with the skin, fitting the skin TO il,
instead Of stutliug the skin out till II Is
in the shape of an animal. II seems that
there is tw ice as much skin on an animal
as il needs TO cover it, aud that one rea-
son stuffed animals ordinarily look so
frightiuly unnatural is that the skin is
stuffed till it is stretched out OF all proper
proportions.

by Irving, the constable, while in the act
Of easing the descent of the mule down
Mad Gun Mountain, with his lariat fast
ened to the tail OF the animal. The proof
against Zmri was conclusive. Accord

plexity, proceeded TO sentence Z,mri to
one years confinement in the territorial
penitentiary, which sentence he conclud.
