Wa. Not Inhunanlry.

Facts in the case OF the Indian girl
who died in Elko on her way to her
home in Duck Valley:
cara Winnemucca, of the Carson Indian
School. was taken sick with la gnpp
about the first Of February. This
disease developed consumption and thrn
it was decided to send her home. Some
preliminary arrangements had to be
made with the agent mt Western Shu.
shone. aud then the stormy weather be
gan so that her departure was delayed
and she was growing weaker.
When che left Carson she was able to
walk to the carnage that took her to the
train. Any one who saw her leave the
tram at Elko saw that she walked the
whole length OF the platform to the par.
lor OF the Depot Hotel, with the aid of u
man, instead Of being carried rs stated
by the INDEPENDENT.
This paper said she was kindly cared
for by Mr.. Mayer. All he did was to
abuse the authorities who sent her from
the Carson school.
The child was cared for entirely by
myself und the nurse whom / hired. /
was particularly charged by the Supt. OF
the Carson school to spare no expense
in making her comfortable OIL her
journey home.
Ono OF the best doctors OF Elko at.
tended her. and she had all Tie care and
attention that money and II friend who
loved her could provide. But it was not
given by Mr.. Mayer.
To his family. employees and guest. l
have only the most grateful remem-
brances OF their kindness and sympathy
and offers OF assistance.
Mr.. Mayer did not prevent me start
ing out Sunday rs | had no intention OF
leaving till the trip to Tuscarora could
be made in one day.
Now whore does the inhumanity CONG
IMP In just this: When the child was
raving in delirium. when Mr.. Mayer
knew the child could not live over night
he had her sent away from tile hotel 10
die.
From the beginning OF the child's
sickness two months ago, until her
death she was under the care Of doctors
and nurses. but the ride from Carson
to Ellto exhausted her remaining strength
which she never regaiDed.
She was sent from Carson hoping that
her father and mother might see her
again before she died. The inhumnuity
would have been in making no attempt
to send a dying child home.
Her body was embalmed and prepared
for burial by undertaken Pullman, and
h remains were forwarded by stage to
her home i'll Duck Valley.

Remarkable Fossil Quarry.

One OF the most unique quarries in
the world exists near the town OF KEN
mcrer Wyo.. nj IN elevation of 5000
feet above sea level. THIS qu irry is
worked by hand, no blasting being per
United, owing to the fragile nature Of
its output. The latter consists solely
OF fossils. mostly those OF a few varie
ties OF fish. In operation the shaie is
split into slabs, broken with sledge
hammers. ana thrown over the bank by
hand. When the slabs containing the
specimens are cut and TAX en- out they
are yely moist and have to be dried out
to about onc.third OF their original
weight. After the drying has proceeded
far enough to permit OF tho easy
manipulation of the material, the FOSSILS
are carefully cleaned by means OF
special tools devised for the purpose
Many Of these fish fossils are exceeding
ly beautiful. every bone being plainly
shown i'll the on line. They rank IN the
finest specimens OF fossil fishes yet
discovered.

There is no barbaric splendor about

guests he receives standing, and he en-

There is scarcely a subject that does
not interest him or one on which he is
not well Informed. A delightful host,
it is his custom to surround himself
with clever men, men who are the
shining lights of their professions. En-
gineers, artists, musicians, writer's,

Much as we may regret it, the fact is
that the Newfoundland dog, the en-
bodiment of courage, intelligence and
kindness, the highest type of canine
excellence, the animal that formed the
subject of Landseer's famous painting,
"The Child's Best Friend" is today al
most extinct. In the United States the
animals have vanished completely, and
had it not been for Mr.. Edwin Nichols
of South Kensington they would have
died out in England as well. Mr.. Mich
OILS is now, we believe, the sole breeder
of Newfoundlands in the world. Even
in the land of It's origin there are very
few fine specimens of the Newfound-
land dog now to be found. The dogs
most common and numerous in New
foundland are a wretched mongrel
race, cowardly, thievish and given to
sheep killing. Starvation and neglect
have killed out the old Newfoundland
breed, which thrives better anywhere
except on this island, the place of its
Origin.-London Times.
