WRECKlNG THE PARTY

Never did a paper work more faith
fully for a cause that it believed to
be right, than did the Reno Ledger,
for the Fusion party. If the follow
ing had appeared in a Republican
paper its claim might have been at
tackled by the Fusion press, but
coming from the Ledger, the truth
can hardly be assailed: 81
THE Fusion leaders seem to be
working industriously at Carson to
destroy the party as soon as possible.
They act as though they had lost all
judgment and discretion and were

A study of the survey of the for
tieth parallel shows that prior to the
Paleozoic Age, Nevada was covered
by a mountainous system, extending
as far as the 1O4th meridian to the
east, which was probably covered by
the ocean, as the tops of the lofty
ranges are smoother and broader than
the surfaces ever produced by suberial
erosion. ss. s1Ht g
A continent with its western shore
in California and it's eastern limit near
Austin, and reaching far north and
south, representing the topography OF
part of the country during the Pal
eozoic Age. Sediments from this con
tinent accumulating through geolog-
ical time and subsiding under the en-
ormous pressure of their own weight,
finally reached a thickness of 0 1000
feet near the shore, though thinning
out toward the east.
The deposition of these sediments
took place in absolute quietude, the
rocks of this era showing no uncon-
formity. At the end of the P~aleozoic,
the sea bottom rose and the continent
became an ocean floor, which receiv-
ed in turn the sediments from the
newly formed continent.

The Independent of Elko contains
the item that will also apply to this
city: If any citizen of Elko is not
proud of the condition of the streets,
he is a very hard man to please. By
carefully picking ones way it is pos
sible to cross the streets at almost
any point without getting into the
slush and water above the neck. What
o does any citizen of the town
want anyway?
