Land Area Of Nevada.


The total land area of Nevada
is Ioo,74o square miles, or 7o,233,-
647 acres, of which 2, 2,565,647 acres,
or 81 per cent are included in
farms. E rs vs tK
While the population of Nevada
was at its maximum in 1890, and
has declined steadily since that
date, there has been an increase
IN the number of farms for each
decade, except 1880 to 1890, when
decrease of 90 per cent was
shown. In the last decade the in
crease was 7I.o per cent. The total
acreage, however, shows contin-
ual increase, the rate of gain for
the last decade being 54.4 per cent.
The average size of farms decreased
III the decade 1860 to 1870 but
afterwards increased rapidly on
account of the addition of large
areas of grazing land from the
public domain to the farm acreage
The decrease in the last decade in
dicates division of farm holdings
and a most extensive cultivation
of the soil.
In all counties except Nye the
number of farms has increased
rapidly since 1890. Douglas, Lin
coin and Storey counties reported
more than twice as many in 1900
as ten years before, and in Hum
boldt, Lyon and Ormsby counties
the gains were nearly as great.
The farm acreage has increased in
every county except White Pine,
where it has decreased one-third;
in Douglas, Lincoln, Lyon and
Storey counties it has more than
doubled.
A lower value of land and build
ings than in 1890 is reported for
Esmeralda, Nye and White Pine
counties. For the State the aver
age value of farms in 1900 is ST.
$50, ranging from Approximately
s., 900 in Lincoln and Storey coun-
ties to more than $4,000 in Eure-
ka, Humboldt and Lander coun-
ties, the last three containing large
livestock farms.
All counties but White Pine
show an increased value for inn
plements and machinery. The
largest relative gains were in Lin
coin, Dougles, Storey and Ormsby
counties. The value of livestock
for the State has more than
doubled. Ormsby and White Pine
counties alone showing decreases.
The highest values per farm are
reported from the two northern
counties of Elko and Humboldt.

A Boston, letter to lo6al min
ing man makes it appear quite
clear that the hardships of the cop
per mine are about over, and that
with the recent crash in that line
of securities steady advances are
promised. 1t is claimed by the
writer that the crash indeed, was
nothing less than a somewhat dis
cordant signal that the interests
surrounding the Amalgamated
have accomplished what they
sought to accomplish over a. year
ago, and that with the producers
of the Lake Superior region finally
in line, the market for the red
metal should show material ad-
vances with the opening of the
new year. 1t was after this recon-
Citation that the Amalgamated got
from under; a heavy reloading is
following and with their shelves
again filled the animals will again
be started up the pike. The views
of the writer, at all events, are
cheering.-SaH Lake Tribune.

"sitting a Waltz"

The young people who indulge in
the giddy mazes of the waltz will hear
with interest that the heads of Wash
ington and New York society have
declared that sitting" waltz will
be more fashionable from now on than
dancing. The sitting out" embodies
the same position as dancing, the only
difference is that you sit instead Of
dance. The man 'srigbt arm is around
the girls waist while his left hand
holds her right. Her left hand is
placed upon his shoulder, while her
head rests lovingly upon his bosom,
and all they have to do is to sit and
listen at the music. Now that is some-
thing like it. We have always re-
garded it as quite nuisance to have
to gallop a mile or two to get hug
or two. A room full Of people sitting
on sofas bugging to music is more to
our notion. This will give the old
rheumatic brethren another good
chance to waltz. Men waltz, not for the
dance, but for the position, aud while
many a man loses his appetite for dane
ing be has to get powerful old before
he loses his appetite for hugging a
pretty girl.

Had a Trife of 100000

A small, slight and somewhat ordi-
nary-aprearing man walked into the
First National Bank at Wall Street
aud Broadway one day recently, says
an exchange. He carried in his hand
a small satchel that at once became an
object of suspicion to the attendant
who met the stranger.
"Whom do you wish to see ?" asked
the bank officer.
1.-The president, Mr.. Baker"
"He is extremely busy just now, "
replied the attendant YEARLY, land
cannot be seen.
Then say to Mr.. Fahnestock, the
vice-president-"
"He is at board meeting" inter-
rupted the attendant, "and won't re-
turn for two hours"
"Then the cashier will answer my
purpose" observed the stranger, ad-
vancing in the dividing rail between
the public Office and between the pri-
vate office. Here he was met by the
cashier, with the remark "Well, cir,
what can we do for you?" while the
bank attendant stood by watching
closely every action Of the bearded
caller.
q have $7,OO0,OOO in gold notes
that l desire to loan at special rates, ,
observed the stranger unconcernedly,
opening the satchel and displaying to
the astonished gaze of his spectators
numerous stacks of the best paper le-
galized by this Government. The at
tendant gasped. The cashier quickly
asked:
"And your name is ?"

Tar And Feathers at Bier.

The funeral of Mrs. John Seibert,
of Mount Morris, Illinois, was delayed
the other day until the mourners
could administer a coat Of tar and
feathers TO the husband and sisters
of the dead woman. Then the funer-
al proceeded. but the two who were
to have been chief mourners were
absent.
The house was filled with sorrowing
neighbors when some Of them dis
covered Seibert in another room hug
ging and kissing Mrs. Theodore Wolfe,
his sister-in-law. The crowd quickly
dragged the couple to corn6eld.
A plentiful supply of tar was brought
and poured over the victims, The
feathers from a pillow were then emp
tied on each. Then the two were
driven from the village and ordered
never to return.
Mrs. Seibert died Of consumption.
During the two years Of her sickness,
it is alleged, her husband was contin-
ually making love to her sister.

soon as the picket was posted, Yam
kee poked his head from behind a
tree and called out "You Rebs are
on a flank, meaning that our army
was trying to flank General Meade.
I was surprised at this, for l did not
know that General Lees army was on
the move. An hour later there was
stir on the opposite side of the river
The Yankees quietly withdrew. Soon
my company was ordered to join the
regiment, which was marching in the
direction of Raccoon Ford on the Rap
idan river, where Fitz Lees division
met General Buford's command. The
enemy was driven across the river
and was pushed back rapidly until
we reached Brandy Station, where
Buford made stand General Kill
patrick with a division Of cavalry was
at Culpeper G. H., which was in our
rear, while Fitz Lee was engaged with
Buford at Brandy Station. General
Stuart, with Hampton's division, had
attacked General Fitzpatrick and was
driving him in the direction Of Brandy
at rapid rate. This placed Lees
division between the divisions Of Kill
patrick and Buford. Our division
was quickly moved off on the flank,
ready to strike the forces of Kilpat-
rick as he passed. This gave BufOrd
a chance to rally his forces and unite
with Fitzpatrick, General Stuart, with
Hampton's division, uniting with
Fitz Lees. The four divisions, num-
bering about $4,000 men, again met
on the plains of Culpeper to try con-
clusions. The roar of the artillery,
the bursting shells, charges and coun-
ter charges as the horsemen thundered
Ger the plains struggling with each
other for the victory, was scene
never to be forgotten by those who
witnessed it. Some of those who were
engaged in this terrible struggle, both
Federals and Confederates, only few
hours before were sitting around the
same fire Joking and laughing.
Such is war.

At little dinner the other night
the statement was made that the
colored race had longer memories than
white folk. Mark Twain, who was
present, agreed with the remark, aud
to prove it told the following; "Some

colored man who claimed TO have
known George Washington. / asked
him if be was in the boat when G1p.
ersl Washington crossed the Delaware,
and be instantly replied; 'Lor'. mas

Getting Up in the World.

Just how high man is able to
climb has never been determined ; not
because of the lack Of mountains, but
owing to the ever-multiplying difficult
ties which beset the adventurer the
higher he gets.
The highest point to which a man
has so far climbed is 23,393 feet. This
is the height of Aconcagus, the loftiest
summit of the main Cordillera Of the
Andes. This point was reached by
the guide Matthias Zurbriggen and
Mr.. Vines, two members Of the expe-
dition that was sent out in 1897 un-
der E. A. Fitzgerald. Before this the
record was held by Sir William Mar
tin Conway's expedition, which in
1892 climbed mountain in the Ks-
rokoram Himalayas $4,000 feet high.
Whether man will ever be able
to climb to the top of Mount Everest,
which j. 29,200 feet above the sea
level, is a question upon which scien-
fists and others are divided. An ex-
petition to finally determine the mat
ter would be watched with considera-
bic interest.
Such an expedition, however, to be
carried out with any reasonable hope
of success, would not be a matter Of
days or weeks, but of years. Noun
tain expeditions have hitherto adopted
too rapid rate of ascent. The ner-
vous system consequently had not
time to accustom itself to the action
of the rarifed air nor the organisms
to the cold.
Angelo Mosso, one of the greatest
authorities on human physiology, who
has devoted years to the study of the
effects OF high attitudes on the human
frame and who has been instrumental
in securing the erection Of new OBJ
servatory and Alpine station on Mon
ia Rosa for the special study of the
life of men on the high Alps, stated
very recently that he was convinced
that man may reach the summit Of
Everest without serious suterings.
The reason, Signor Mosso tells US,
why so few have attempted the ascent
Of the highest peaks is the conviction
that man cannot withstand the rarifed
air Of such attitudes. We live at the
bottom of an ocean of air and our
bodies are especially adapted for life
at low levels. Consequently, when
we are placed in unusual conditions,
such as exist at great heights, we are
affected in various ways. Respira-
ton becomes difficult, the circulation
of the blood is altered, the heart is
fatigued, mountain sickness is ex-
perienced and lassitude and exhaus-
tion follow.
In spite Of all this the ascent Of
Mount Everest is believed possible.
The progress must necessarily be very
slow, because the climber will have to
acclimatize himself perfectly as he as
cends in order to reach the top in con-
ditions of health and strength. His
victualing arrangements must be gen.
erously and prudently made, more
especially as the last stages must be
covered at snail's pace. BY devot-
ing two or three years to climbing the
1900 feet to the top of Mount Ev-
crest at an average of about 30 feet
daily, Signor Mosso believes the feat
may be accomplished.
