purchase.

Government Will Assist

We received this week from Hon. F.
G. Newlands, some correspondence
that passed between the Government
irrigation authorities and the Mason
valley andiSmith valley farmers, re-
lative to putting in irrigation works
of sufficient;capacity to preclude the
possibility of a shortage of water for
irrigation purposes on the farms along
the Walker. Among other things was
the approval by the Interior Depart
ment, of project presented by the
Government engineers, of storage
system of sufficient capacity to irri-
gate the lands in question for the sum
of 5000, ,000 but before the farmers can
expect Government help they must
form themselves into a water users
association and guarantee the repay
ment to the Government of the sum
advanced to build the system.

A PECULIAR
PHENOMENA

A most peculiar phenomena of
nature has been discovered about two
miles south of the Winters mine that
gives evidence of the existence of a
forest ofSequoia trees in the Pine
Nut country. On the top of a small
hill a deposit of petrified bark has
been found, with occasionally here
and there piece of petrified wood of
the same variety as the bark, and from
which undoubtedly the bark came. In
color and general characteristics the
bark exactly resembles the bark from
the big trees in California.
The stuff is scattered about the top
of the hill and looks like it just fell off
the trees, and was buried for a time
to give it a little age. A piece of it
was brought TO Gardnerville, and is
now on exhibition at one of the local
saloons, where its naturalness caused
one of our wood carvers to at
tempt to carve out miniature Indian
canoe.
a thousand and one theories have
been advanced as to how it got there,
but so far no one has been able to ad-
vance reasonable theory.
II is likely however that during
some flood or other disturbance of
nature that a tree was washed or
thrown there, and with the action of
the lime of the country it became
petrified.
