Natural Curiosities Of Nevada,

Thomas Lovelock. the pioneer of
Lovelock Station, Nevada, was describ-
ing some of the natural curiosities of his
section while in town last Saturday even
ing. He says that fifteen miles north OF
his place there is . petrified tree 600
feet in length and two feet thick.
Its roots and most Of it's branches
are still perfect. The tree Is
lying on the surface Of the ground.
and Is petri6ed through and through
from bark to core. Clarence King was
taken to see the tree by Mr.. Lovelock.
The geologist pronounced it one Of the
greatest natural curiosities he had ever
seen. Mr.. Lovelock says he recently

A New Mexican Turquoise Mine.

For the first time in two hundred
years the old turquoise mine in Chal-
chute mountain, New Mexico, is being
reopened. In 1850 work was suspended
on the mine, the cause being the caving
in of the shaft and the subsequent death
of some one hundred Indians who were
at work below. An attempt made by
the Spanish to force the Indians to be-
gin again and reopen the shaft led to q
rebellion, and probably was one of the
causes which forced the Indians to an
uprising and tho subsequent expulsion
Of their rulers from the country. The
extent to which these mines have been
worked may be conjectured by the vast
amount Of debris lying around the old
shaft. covering no less than fifteen
acres of ground. This mine is the only
turquoise mine on the continent, and as
the gem has always market value, it
will ere long be one Of the recognized
sources of wealth of New Mexico.

Two brothers belonging to one of

country life rather irksome. AS one or

Ths PrsaIes aaa MAP. Dr.~n-A Good
Line-

A representative Of the LEADER en-
gagged in conversation yesterday, Robt.
Blickensderfer. Esq, chief engineer Of
the surveys for the proposed Wyoming,
Montana and Pacific road. Mr.. b.
was very cautious about expressing any
opinions regarding the intentions Of the
management. All he could say was
based upon his own Judgment. He
still believes that work will be com
menced on the road this year and that
it win reach Fort Laramie before work
Is stopped for this season.
There Is little hitch ON the direct
line from Cheyenne, il being run
through the race track OF the Cheyenne
driving park association. Several stock
men up north object to the line and
threaten suits for damages. In conse-
quence OF these facts, another route is
being surveyed, running from Chey-
enne eastward towards Pine Bluffs un-
til the high plateau is reached. when it
will curve northward. Circumstances
viii determine which of the two routes
will be accepted.
The pronles and maps of the direct
route are all completed and duplicates
have been sent TO Omaha. We have
seen the originals Of these drawings
and they have been executed In a most
scientific and explicit manner. From
cheyenne thei grade rises very rapidly,
going from an altitude OF 6.075 feet, at
this city. TO 6.s05 feet on the divide
between Grow and Pole creeks. That
is the highest point on the road from
Cheyenne to Fort Laramie. This lat
ter place is l,70o feet lower than the
former.
