Carved by Jesuit Missionaries.

In several places in Lincoln county,
Nevada, and the adjoining country
about Death Valley, CAL, are found
traces of former occupation by some
race of civilized people, probably the
Spanish. In the Kingston range of
mountains, on the eastern face of
Clarke Mountain, near it's summit. is a
perpendicular cliff of limestone $50 feet
in height, and with a smooth surface
On the face of this cliff at a height of
100 feet from it's base, are, cut a cross
anu .~U~sss Il. IL. The cross a nd
the letters are of mammoth nrono,
tons, being not less than sixty feet in
height. They are cut into the solid ,oo1,
to depth of two feet, and are nIain1v
to be seen at a great distance. No ono
in the country knows how, when or bv
whom the letters We're cut. The In
dams living in the region have no ~,
ditions in regard to them. AS tha Iot
ters are Roman characters and ara nre
coded by cross, it is supposed the
work was done by Jesuit missfonaries
who are known to have esta blisbed in
1888 mission further south in Arizona
In order to carve the huge letters either
scaffold of 100 feet in height must
have been erected or the workmen
must have been lowered over the face
of the cliff, a distance of $50 feet.

be little stranger in heaven, right
away :"
This f1ippant manner in alluding to
my possible accidental death CALLED me
good deal, and besides 1 couldn't bear
to have my brothers advice in any
| thing. He was a year older than I,
and, like many another younger broth
err, 1 resented any interference from
him.
| So although had about made up my
mind that had gathered quite enough
cotton for that winter, I returned at
once to the inlet hole, after gliding
him sharply as being Jealous pated, u
because l had just outskated him. Then
I lay down flat on my face, close to the
edge of the ice and reached out for a
particularly enticing piece of the frozen
foam that circled round and round just
beyond my reach.
I had hitherto never failed to gath
err" successfully, but stretch my arms
as far as 1 could 1 could not grasp this
tantalizing piece. I was about to give
UP the effort when my brother called
out impatiently his opinion that 1 had
gone clear daft and demanded that l
desist at once.
OF course stretched my arms lit
tie further and the next minute was
turning a somersault in the swift and
ice cold water. 1 have heard many
persons tell their feelings in circum-
stances somewhat similar, but none of
them agreed exactly with mine. My
first thought was that while 1 had
shown a plentiful lack of sense, my
brother had shown more in urging me
to give up without getting the frozen
foam. Next 1 was filled with fear,
most abject and horrible. Then I for
got everything, but only for a minute.
I had gone through all these mental
changes in the brief time that it had
taken me to turn over once in the water
and I fortunately came to the surface
face up. The stream, for wonder, had
not yet carried me under the ice,
though I was perilously near it, and
had not help been practically instant,
,, I must have been drowned.
But while my brother had been scold-
ing me, one of t. e other boys. know
ing my stubbornness and forseeing
what might happen, had got rail from
fence on the edge of the pond AS I
came up he showed the rail almost di-
rectly into my hands. Singulary
enough L mad presence OIL mlnd enough
to seize it and was so drawn safely out
of the water
OF course I was in serious danger of
catching a death cold, but all agreed
that 1 would run a great risk of lick
ing if I went home all wet and half
frozen. So the boys, my brother join
ing in, rushed me up and down the
pond to warm ne up and then took me
to the great stump fire on the ice where
we always kept a kettle of coffee boil
ing and poured quantities of it down
my throat till I was quite myself again.

fell in with it. In brief our agreement
was that he should hold my irons
against the stone once a week, or as Of
ten as I thought they needed it, all
through the skating season. In return
I was to turn the grindstone's crank
at least four hours week for him to
grind the irons of other skaters. I
thought it a mighty slick bargain for
me when made it, and / may say here
that 1t resulted in my winning nearly
