NEW MAP OF NEVADA MINING
CAMPS.

The Nevada Engineering Works
of Reno are producing an up-to-dato
map of the mining districts of this
state, showing all railroads and com
munications leading to the established
camps.
This map is a very fine production
and has cost a great deal of money. II
is the most complete map of the state
and adjacent districts that has been
published and should be in the han Is

To illustrate its scope it may be men
toned that such new camps as Seven
Troughs. Wonder, Greenwater, Ramsey,
Round Mountain and Belle HELEN have
been correctly located and the roads
connecting them with stage lines and
railroads inserted.
The Nevada Engineering Works an

the map free of all charge to mining
men and request those wishing copies,
to send in their names, with postage,
and postofice addresses with out delay
The engraving is now being made

Pygmies on the Congo

The arrival in London Of six pygmies
from the Ituri forest Of the Belgian Congo
is an Interesting event in the scientific
world and suggests many speculatons con-
corning the evolution Of our world.
The scientific interest in these African
pygmies lies in the fact that while they
are negrOids they form a group apart from
the great African family and are believed
to be the remnant Of a race that once
peopled the greater part Of the dark CONT
nenL
-Four Of the pygmies are men and two
are women. The mean height Of the men
is feet 6 inches. and Of the women feet
/ inch. The tallest man ever seen among
the pygmies was : feet high, and many
Of the adult women are only feet 8
inches. Their ethnic traits are clearly
marked. In addition to their diminutive
size two traits that especially charac-
terize them are the form Of the nose and
Of the upper lip, Neither hair nor skin is
as black as that Of real negroes, both
| having reddish tiHts. They have also longer
. boards
These pYgmies are nomads, having neither
fields nor houses They live on game and
wild fruits. They go completely unclothed.
They have no religious instincts and be-

tice polygamy.
They have no language Of their own.
They take the elements Of their speech
from the dialects Of their neighbors and
| mingle them in jargon that is used
throughout the vast forest They are
brave, though not generally aggressive.
They are intelligent, and, curiously enough,
excel in the art Of extracting iron from
the ore and forging it into arrow heads
with the help Of stones
These are believed to be the same pyg-
mics described some thousands Of years
ago by that ancient Greek historian He
rodotus. Incidentally, all the world thought
he was lying at the time. What would
the ancient historian have thought upon
seeing these little people carried about
London in an automobile?
These pygmies do not live long and the
remnant Of the race is marked for early
destruction. In the somber forests into
which they have been forced as a last
refuge nature is a pitiless taskmaster.

II was some days before that dispatches
