Gerard Fowke Returns From Explor-
ing Trip in the Far North.

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 21.-Genera1
Fowke, a naturalist of ability, has just
returned from a trip through British
Columbia, Alaska, the Aleutian Islands
and northern Asia, taken under the
direction of the American Museum OF
Natural History of New York.
The object was to ascertain by the
eXaminati of earthworks along the
route whether the prehistoric peoples
of America came across Boring Straits
from Asia. The expedition has taken
three years. Much of the distance was
covered on foot, and the work involved
great danger and hardships.
Mr.. Fowke said he was not at liberty
to make known the results CT his dis
coveries. His report will be published
by the museum. He said, however the
report would settle beyond doubt this
chronological question.

NEWARK VALLEY, Dec. Z.
A small snow storm visited us Tues
day, the "bsautiful" barely covering
the ground.
There is another dance on the tapis
for the 10th of this month. They
seem to be spreading it on thick.
Paul Irwin OF Duckwater is in the
Valley gathering some OF his stray
cattle, which he intends moving to
Duckwater.
School opened at Cold Creek district
on Monday with Miss Clara Mather Of
Carson as teacher. Miss Mather taught
here last term, and her many friends
are pleased to see her back again.
A couple of tough looking characters
came this way, heading from the
north. When asked who they were,
one Of them made the following an
swer: 81 am Mustang Sam, the Mad
Rider of the Plains; l can ride faster,
jump higher, tell more lies and steal
more poor COWS than any two-legged
man that aver lived. l am the man
who swung the Potomac river over my
back and reached up and bit the high
est point OF the new moon. That's
who | am, now you know, and my
partner here is Sleepy Dick" If they
happen into Eureka watch out for
them.
A very pleasant time was had at the
dance given by the Misses Robinson
and Simonsen at the residence of Nick
Simonsen on Thanksgiving evening.
The crowd, including nearly every one
in our Valley and also some from Dia-
mond Valley, assembled at an early
hour in the evening and little time was
lost before dancing commenced, which
was kept up until midnight, when all
were seated to an excellent supper.
After supper dancing was again re.
sumed and kept up until after sun up.
Breakfast was served before the party
broke up. Every n reports having
had a good time. Mr.. and Mrs. Simon
sen entertained their guests royalty,
and all present will remember having
spent q very pleasant Thanksgiving
night.
