Reno Gazette


In response TO a letter from Hon.
John d. Atkins, Commissioner of In
dian affairs, to Prof. c. s. Young,
superintendent OF Public instruction,
requesting q statment of the kind of
a school required for the Indian youth
of Nevada and the reason therefor,
Prof. Young submitted very able
report, giving some fifteen cogent rea-
sons why such a school should be es-
tablished. Of the nearly 1900 In
dams in this State 1t Is estimated that
there are 1900 children between six
and eighteen years of age. or this
there are about 123 attending school,
az at Pyramid, al at Walker Lake and
10 at Duck Valley. While the Gov
eminent holds for the benefit OF this
too nomadic people the vast number
Of acres OF land contained in the sew
eral reservations, it should without
delay appropriate a portion of the Ma
tional funds to educate at least few
OF the Indians. who by their acquired
intelligence and habits of industry
might go forth as missionaries among
their people, and make portions of
these reservations sources of revenue
and home. A few individual In
dams IN this State take pride in farm
lug. Each year adds TO those who
endeavor to pattern after the white
man. encouraged by the nation taking
steps towards putting more OF them
upon a higher plane by universal
education, the next generation will
be far ahead of the present, and in
time they might have business
status to care for themselves, and thus
save the nation from making them
wards as they now are. Having the
Indian population this State has, with
cheap land and good water power
there Is no reason why school here
should not do better work than is
done at Carlish, Hampton, Genoa.
Lawrence, Forest Grove, Santa Fe,
Albuquerque, or almost any other
point. The report OF Prof. Young re-
ceived the Endorsement of United
States Indian Agent d. c. Gibson.
Bristling with points backed by stat
istlcs, the report makes showing
that should convince the Commits
sioner OF not only what our needs are,
but our right to an equitable proper
ton OF the funds set apart for the es-
adjustment OF Indian schools and
the educating Of Indians.

Nevada Wheat.

The Carson Appeal says Recent
experiments made by the Central Pa
cifc Railroad Company lead to the
belief that wheat can be raised in
Nevada without artificial irrigation.
A confirmation of this would lead TO
the settlement OF our State and make
1t one OF the most prosperous in the
Union. Even now the fact that such
a theory is reasonably entertained by
practical men has caused large in
crease in the business of the State
Land Office.

The Austin Reveille says It's now

The Virginia City Enterprise has the
following: It will be remembered
tina: some mouths ago. in boring the
ariesian we'll at White Plains, out in
the eastern part of this State. under
the spices OF the Central Pacific Rail-
road COMPANY, a large log, or several
logs. OF wood were bored through at
the depth Of l.6l5 feet below the sur
face. This has been subject for dis
cussion by scientists ever since, and a
few evenings ago. in San Francisco,
DR.. Hardness made it the special su b.
iect of very interesting lecture.
Quite large quantity of this wood was
brought to the surface, and it was good
sound wood, in an almost perfect state
of preservation, although its great
depth and character of the superin-
cumbent strata showed that IL was at
least 600 900 years old. Microscopic
examination shows that the ancient
tree was probably similar to the pres
ent nut-pine.

appointed Governor of Alaska last

Governor in Alaska, or that he did
not care enough for the position To
exile himself from society TO retain il.

gentlemen. Suddenly, after singing a
plaintive balled with unusual tender
ness Of expression he turned, faced his
audience, grew pale, tottered III his seat

friends. His death is felt keenly by MIR.
Plant and the officials of his various
corporations. N. Y. Heratd.
