Believed TO Have Been Inhabited by Man
Anterior to the Glacial Period.
From the Virginia City Chronicle;
photographs of Inscriptions on rock neal,
Fort Churchill, examined by Smithsonian
Institute scientists and noted European
arch~aeologists, are pronounced as belong
ing to a date far more remote thar any
traces OF man yet discovered placed there
by a race of men ancient as that whose
footprints are observable in the solid
rock in the state prison quarry at Car
son.
1t was at first commended that the in.
'scriptions were made bya race OF men once
inhabiting the banks of the ella and Salt
rivers in Arizona. While there is a resem.
blance between the Inscriptions left by pre-.
historic residents OF the region watered by
the Carson river and those found on the
delta OF the ella and Salt ivers OF Arizona,
the former or more crude, indicating greater
antiquity. ....}1..' w. +..-.o IN

matter OF real, natural curiosities. We
refer to the tunnel on Florida mountain, in
which ice is formed on the warmest days by
the water dropping from the top of the cave

cakes. A number of our citizens make fire.

A rose by any other name?
Nay, that could hardly be
No other name, my Flower OF June,
Could be the name for thee.
Dear darling of the summer time,
And love-child of the sun
Whether BY thy sweet breath beguiled,
Or by thy thorns undone.
I know thee for the queen of flowers,
And toast thee by thy name;
Here's to the sweet young loneliness
That sets hearts afame."

The fire in the snowsheds at Cascade,
three miles west Of the summit OF the Sier.
ras, on the line of the Central" Pacific rail-
road, which first broke out on Thursday
night, the 9Th, was extinguished early the
following night. 1t is reported that be-
tween three and four miles of the sheds
were consumed, which entails O loss of
nearly 100000 on the Southern Pacific
company. The heat of the burning sheds
was intense, warping the rails and making
it necessary to lay a new track through the
burned district, which is now in order for
the passage of trains. The telegraph wires
have also been replaced.
