Dear Strive notice by yesterday ;

Dit skeptical as to the elevation of Win
iemucca mountain being $500 feet above

1t seldom happens that we have any
ccasion or desire to correct the Silver
State, except, perhaps, when 1t entesr
he realm of ethics or theology: but it
occurs to US that the following bit of
Information may be acceptable:
We made a trip to the top of Winnie
nucca last year and took with us a
nercurial barometer Zone OF our own
onstructIon) and from the reading of
his calculated the height of the noun
lin above the town to be 2,4O0 feet.
This added to the elevation of the town,
$50 feet, would give an aievation of
100 feet above sea level. We then sent
o the Director of the u. s. Geological
;urvey for Typographical map of the
iection containing the mountain and
ound the elevation marked $500 feet.
Now. the reading which the engineers
lave given $500 feet. added othe ele-
yation of the town. 4330 feet. gives a
otal of $50 feet. So you see they are
light to nicely.
We have no further evidence to sub
nit. except that the first time we climb
d the mountain we felt as if it were
0,0yJ feet or more. long before we
cached the summit.
