OLDEST LIVING THING.

The statement recently made
that there are yews in England
which are the Oldest living
things on earth," Thomas G..
Ireland said, is not correct.
These yews are very old; very,
very old;there is no doubt of that.
Some of them stalwart trees even
before Caesar landed on these
shores. There is one now stand
ing in the churchyard at Fort
ingal, in Perthshire, which De-
candole nearly a century ago,
proved to the satisfaction of a
botanist to be over twenty-five
centuries old, and another, ut
Hedsor, in Buclas, which is 8, ,240
years old. How Decandole ar
rived at an apparently correct
estimate of the enormous age of
these living trees is q simple
thing. and the principle is doubt.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1905-08-22
HUNT MOUNTAIN.

We call it Hunt Mountain for
want of another name. 1t is a
new quartz district discovered
one day last week by S. F. Hunt
of Challis. Hunt Mountain, as
we call it, is situated about ten
miles east of Parker Mountain
on what is known as the Ramey
Ridge, between Singiser and
Warm Spring creek. Mr.. Hunt
was prospecting the region be-
tween the two camps when he
discovered two large and distinct
veins of gold bearing quartz that
returned an assay value of $32
per ton in gold and silver. One
ledge is five feet across and the
other about four. One picked
sample went 81 800 per ton, but
the general average of the ore
from the lodges was $32 per ton.
The general formation of the
country and the character of the
ore is almost identical with that
of Parker Mountain, which goes
to prove beyond doubt that the
Parker Mountain district is ex-
tensive and is not confined to the
few claims already located on
Warm Spring creek. This dis
trict is fine field for the pros
pector and capitalist.

less well known today to all
The yew, like most other trees.
adds one line, about the tenth of
an inch, to it's circumference each
year. He proved this after an
investigation extending over
several years, and we know now,
a hundred years later, that his
deductions were correct. The
old yew at Hedsor has a trunk
q feet in diameter, proving its
great age, and it is in flourish
ing, healthy condition, now,
like its brother at Fortingal.
Their years are few, though,
compared with those of the trees
l had in mind when made my
first assertion that the statement
printed about them in scientific
journal was incorrect. In one
chapter of his writings Hum
boldt refers to gigantic baobab
tree in central Africa as the old
est organic monument in the
world. This tree has trunk 90
feet in diameter, and Adamson,
by series of careful measure
ments, demonstrated conclusive
ly that it had lived for not less
than $3.50 years.
Still, it is not the Oldest or
ganic monument in the world, as
Humboldt declared, for now
Mexican scientists have proved
that a huge cypress tree, stand
ing in Chepultepec, with trunk
118 feet and 10 inches in circum-
ference, is older than it-older,
too, by more than a thousand
years-for it has been shown, as
conclusively as these things can
be shown, that its age is about
6, ,260 years. To become impress
ed with wonder over this, one
has only to dwell on that dura-
ton for a little while in thought.
Yet it is not SO remarkable
when one stops for moment to
remember that, given favorable
conditions for its growth, and
sustenance, the average tree will
never die of old age-its death is
merely an accident. Other
younger and more vigorous trees
may spring up near it, and per-
haps rob its roots of their proper
nourishment, insects may kill it,
hoods or winds may sweep it
away, or its roots may come in
contact with rock, and become
so gnarled and twisted, because
they have not room to expand
n their growth, that they liter
ally throttle the avenues of its
sustenance; but these are acci-
tents. If such things do not
happen tree may live on for
after century, still
robust, still flourishing, shelf
