COL. DENIAL
He Pronounces the Stories Re
garding Him AS Made
from Whole Cloth

Col. Maxon, Secretary of the Nevada
Board of Paris Commissioners, was in
Carson yesterday, having brought over
several cases of exhibits to be classified
before shipping, and in an interview re-
garding the reported rumors about his
connection with the California Board of
Commissioners, absolutely denies any
connection whatever with any business
ever having been made or even thought
of between himself or any of the Nevada
Board with anyone outside of Nevada.
Says regarding the report sent from here
to the Call that the first he ever heard of
the report being circulated, u as when the
Governor told him about it on his re-
turn from receiving the Nevada troop,
which he most emphatically denied to
the Governor at the time and referred to
the records of W. f. & Co. and freight
offices at Reno, which show thai all spec
linens sent to him at Rene were recon-
signed to Mr.. Yerington at Carson, where
he was classifying and ca~taloguaing and
putting in proper shape for shipping to
Paris. Most of the boxes were sent di-
rect through Reno to Carson by direction
of Col. MaxOn, who was giving his time
to the State gathering exhibits while Mr..
I%erington was doing the same in gather
ing frsm the vicinity eff Carson at the
same time he was classifying. Says he
never had any IN Outstanding with the
California Commissioners for them to
take the Nevada exhibit under any con-
ditiOns and refers to the California Com
mission for verifcation.
He thinks the rumOrs might have or
iginated from the fact that an exhibit of
soda from Keller, California, and lead
ores from CerrO Gordo, InyO county,
nave been gathered and are to be sent to
the California Commission with other
exhibits being gathered at their solicita-
ton, in that county in California. This
has been done by Mr.. Y~erington as a
matter of courtesy to the Commission of
an adjoining State. and has no connection
whatever with the Nevada exhibit. 1t
all has to come over the {. Il G. X. r.
from California into Nevada and thence
over the V. Il T. r. R. and the c. p. r.. r.
to San Francisco.
Investigation shows that from Mr..
NldAOll : private cdDlIlSJ at the tnlN6T-
sity in Reno, of over five thousand speci-
mems gathered by him last year for the
Omaha Exposition, he shipped a large
collection to Mr.. HeringtOt here for the
Paris Exhibition, and their presence
here would indicate that Nh. MaXen is
working wholly in the interest of the
Nevada exhibit.
The Nevada Commission have never
contemplated takingany of the State cab
met to Paris, as nine-tenths of the speei-
mems are not originally from Nevada but
have been gathered from all parts of the
world, while the Nevada Board is pre-
pairing an exhibit of ores of recent dis
cevery and development in Nevada only,
proposing to have only an up-to-date *
hibit from the State.
The copper specimens now being elias
sifed here show that the Nevada copper
exhibit will astonish the world.

Fully Explained

The explanation made by hessrs.
Maxon and Yerington of the rumors
which have been floating about for some
weeks, regarding their connection with
the Paris exhibit covers the entire
ground and ought to set at rest all further
controversy in the matter. 1t is better
for all concerned that the matter came to
a head and wa ST" explained, as it will
stop all further talk. Both men are
working hard t." give Nevada the best
mineral display she has ever made, and
it cannot help but be of vast benefit to
the State. All citizens should stop fur
Their kicking and assist them by every
means in their power.

CONQUEST or MEXICO.
Dramatic Episodes Of the Retreat Of Cortez.
By R. M. BIRD.

He stopped as if to awaks him, and then
started back, wringing his hands, in fear
and grief. He bent over him .again;-a
smile passed like a beam over the counte-
nance of the recluse, and murmur es-
capped his lips. of which the youth caught
only a few broken synables: -
Though | shed thy blood" were the
words he distinguished, yet did | not aim
at thee; and, therefore, hast thou forgiven
me, for the sin was the sin of frenzy. Thou
pardonest me, too, Alharef, for thou art,
also, of the. angels. 1t is good to walk with
thee through the seats OF bliss. -
A tear fell upon the cheek of the knight
Calavar,-for it was, indeed, ,she; but it fell
like the spray-drop., or the gentle dew; and
it was not until the hand of the youth
touched his shoulder, that he. awoke and
rose feebly to his feet.
Whoever thou art" said the unfortunate
deyotee, thou breakfast the only dream of
happiness that hath visited my s!umbers,
for long and many years, and callest me
from the paradise that filed me with bliss,
to the earth which is the wheel whereon !
an brokeH-Miserere mel, Deus"
alas. my lord"'--
Art thou sent back TO bid me- prepare?'

Climate and Complexion.
"TI

1t has long been known that climate alone
is not sufficient to account for a colored-
people. Dark skins are by no means con
lined to the tropics, they are to be found in
races even beyond the temperate zone.
This diversity, according to a writer in one
Of the American magazines, can only be
accounted for by considering the different
modes of life that have acted for centuries
upon the various classes and casteS of the
country. The cooiie who works in the
fields with strip Of cotton cloth about his
loins is very dark; the merchant and trader
who never go abroad without being thor
oughly clothed are many degrees farer. 1t
is said that colony of Jews on the west
coast of India has been established for
nearly IS centuries, but because they have
not followed the habits of the people as re-
CARDS clothing they remain to this day a
white people. On the other hand, the
Aryan populations Of India and Persia,
originally n fair people, by adopting the
customs Of those countries, have become, in
great measure, colored race. Accord
ngly it is argued that the steady march OF
nature is toward the evolution of fair
people all over the world. The layer Of
dark pigment beneath the cuticle prevents
the skin from bistering, and when proper
clothing renders this safeguard unneces-
sary, nature dispenses with it altogether.
1t is also hinted that color has something to
do with the mental and intellectual con-
ditions of people, but into these questions
the writer wisely forbeass TO enter.
