The Survsyor-G Generals Report.

The biennial report of Surveyor-Gen-
eral John E. Jones says:
"Nevada is not rich in manufacturing
establishments, having but 175, divided
as follows: Flour and grist mills, IL
saw mills IL planning mills, 2; sash fac
tories, 2; quartz mills, 118 smelling fur
naces, IS; borax works, 10; butter and
cheese factories, s.
Agriculturally, the State has 1872, 5s3
acres of lands cultivated, valued at
$2,528,472. Washoe county is credited
with 2S,369 acres OF cultivated lands,
valued at $572, $50. The wheat crop OF
the State for 1892 was 100, 151 bushels,
valued at 1915, 582; barley, $50, 179 BUSH
els, worth $161 ,674; oats, 179, $3.50 BUSH
els, worth $92, 400; potatoes, 305, 100
bushels, worth 1888, 1872. The hay crop
represented 285 1913 tons, valued at
$948, 100, certainly a remarkably low es-
innate, being less than $3.50 per ton.
The State is credited with the product
of only 28, 1895 pounds of honey, which is
but a fraction of the amount pro luced in
Washoe county alone.
Washoe county's crops are as follows:
2l,6SS bushels of wheat, 3,480 bushels of
barley, 6,9l0 bushels OF oats, 25, 1900 BUSH
els OF potatoes, valued at SIS, 4S0 and A.
100 tons of hay valued at $3.50, $40.
The number of sheep in 1890 was 1885,
400, valued at $685., 1868, while the num-
Der OF sheep in 1892 vas 319,717, valued
at $647 ,649, which shows that the 81 ,251
more sheep assessed in 1892 than the
number assessed two years previous
were really worth $37, 719 less than moth
ing, possibly explainable on account of
the Mckinley bill.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties Of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug,
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you viii not
accept any substitute If offered.

A man from Canada dropped into a
State street barber shop, the other
day, and after demurring al the price
of a haircut, was induced to pay the
figure and 90 through the operation.
He was jollied along until he had a
shave, a shampoo, his mustache
curled. took dose of dandruff eradi-

nounced he wanted to clean out the
place, tore around like an elephant
with his skin broken, and only set
tied when he found there was no
other way of getting out Of the place.
AS he took the measly remnant OF

Missionary Stanns.

The Philadelphia Record has heard
that Cancelled American postage
stamps are worth more than face
value in the far East, and American
missionaries are turning them to
good account in the conversion of
pagan children. For some time the
big business houses have received
numerous requests for old stamps,
and many thousands have been gath.
cred in this way by Sunday school
children. Missionaries in China, on
entering the interior of that country,
have realized the value Of the can
celed stamps, which the natives prize
for decorative purposes, and have
sent requests to this country for all
the postage stamps procurable. They
are being collected by hundreds O
thousands throughout the country.

WEIGHT OF a CROWD.
Experiments show 1t Is from 1Ao 70 $50
Pounds Per Square Foot.

Experiments show 1t Is from 1Ao TO 40
Pounds Per square Foot
The load which is produced by a
dense crowd OF persons is generally
taken at so to 100 pounds per square
foot. and is considered TO be the
greatest uniformly distributed load
for which a floor need be proper
toned. That this value may be
largely exceeded in an actual crowd
was pointed out by Prof. w. c. ker-
not, of the Melbourne University
Australia, in a recent paper before
the Victorian Institute of Engineers.
In an actual trial class Of students
averaging 1875 pounds each. IN
weight were crowded in lobby con-
tanning 1928 square feet, making an
average floor load Of l347 pounds.
There was still room to have placed
another man. which would have
brought up the loading TO 1881
pounds per square foot.
Prof. Kernot also quoted from
Stoney. who placed flfty-eight Irish
Iaborers, averaging l45 pounds each
in weight, in an empty ship deck
house measuring ffty-seyen square
feet floor area. This was a load of
l47.4 pounds per square foot. In
another test, with seventy three la
borers crowded into hut nine feet
by eight feet eight inches. StoneY
produced a load Of 143 pounds per
square foot, and estimated that two
or three more men could have been
squeezed in. 1t appears from these
experiments that while the figures
ordinarily assumed Of 50 to 100
pounds are sufficiently correct on
spaces on which there is no cause to
induce the collection Of great, crowds,
larger figures, say $40 to $50 pounds
per square foou, should he used for
railway stations and platforms, en-
frances and exits to places Of public
assemblies or Of Office buildings,
bridge sidewalks, payements over
vaults and other places where dense
crowds are likely to gather.-Engt'

St. Augustine Netcs: The long talked of

witnessed by a large crowd. Besides this
race there were two other interesting events
"a Smile race by the young men and a l.
mile dash by the boys. The start on the
25-mile RAGE was made at 1;05 O'Clock, with
the following men entered: A. Lee Foster,
B. w. Splitter, f. Howatt and Freddie
Allen. The men made a pretty start, but
Foster and Splitter soon forced ahead. aud
at the 10-mile point both Howatt and Allen
fell out. 1t was game Of NIP and tuck"
until Splitter fouled Fosters wheel aud was
thrown. He lost about one mile, but soon
remountei and was quickly off. Splitter
then made long and pretty squirt aud
caught up With his opponent. The two men
rode close together all through, and the I'm
ish was certainly exciting. Both men were
coming along the home stretch meek to

by good spnrt, crossed the line one-half a
yard ahead of Splitter, and won a pretty
and hard-earned race amidst applause.
