ESTIMATED AGE OF THE EARTH
Scientists Declare This World Has
Existed 1OO,OOO,OOO Years.

Scientists Declare This World Has
Existed 1OO,OOO,OOO Years.
The best geological estimates Of the
age of our globe are In close agreement.
From the time when the record of the
stratified rocks begin to the present
the figures are something over 100000
600 years, says the Review of Reviews.
While some of the estimates vary con-
siderably both above and below the
period mentioned, the general results
are not materially affected. genera
tion ago calculations Of the earths
age were, for the most part, very much
less than one-half Of the figure given.
Dana, for instance, computed the
length Of the paleozolc time at about
100000 years; of mesozoic time,
100000 years, and of cenozoic time,
100000 years, making in all 4S000,-
600 years. Recently, however, there
has been found beneath the vast pale
ozoic sequence an assemblage of rocks
Of enormous extent. All geologlsts are
now agreed In placing the time equiv
alent Of these pre-Cambrlan clastlcs as
equal, at least, to the entire time that
has elapsed since the beginning of the
paleozolc era. Taking into considera-
tion this fact, even Danas estimate Is
doubled and reaches very nearly the
10O,OOO,0OO mark.
Biologists tell us that at the begin
ming of Paleozolc time life In general
was already nlne-tenths differentiated.
There must have been period Of time
prior to this during which organic
forms hourlshed, and during which
sediments We're laid down, that was
very, very long. This early period, pos
sibly, was not ten times as long as
from Cambrlan times to the present,
as the figures cited might suggest, but
1t certainly was at least two or three
times as long. From all these differ
ent sources one can arrive at COM
paratlve scheme. If we consider the
ratios, we get for Archeozoic time %,
for Proterozoic time 3S, Paleozolc time
%, Mesozoic time 8, Cenozoic time 3,
and we OBTAIN for the total number Of
years something like 150,000,000.

A saturated solution Of EPSON salts
Is an excellent remedy for burns. Ap-
ply as soon as possible, and keep wet
continually until the pain ceases
Castor oil and cod-liver oil will not
taste so bad If the child first holds Il
few drops Of vinegar or lemon juice in
Its mouth. The spoon should also be
dipped In vinegar or lemon juice be-

spoil the effects of the oil.
While hives are usually a disorder Of
the warm weather, some persons suffer
from their effects atdlfferent seasons of
the year. A good lotion which can be
applied to the affected parts several
times every day Is made Of one-quarter
ounce of powdered boraX, One-half
ounce spirits Of camphor, three ounces
Of glycerine.
Offensive breath Is sometimes due to
bad teeth and sometimes to dyspepsia.
When the teeth are decayed, visit
must be paid to the dentist. When dys-
pepsia Is the cause the inhalation of n
few drops Of pure terebene from time
to time. 1t Is n condition which can
be readily cured by little attention to
the general health, and especially by
avoiding constipation.
The easiest and most effective way
to cure cold is not to take or contract
It, How can you do that, do you askP
This way: Every evening just before
retiring give yourself n thorough rub
blng from head to foot, including the
feet, with coarse linen towel moder-
ately well dampened. 1t Is a positive
sure preventive and cures colds, catarrh
and, In most cases, of rheumatism also.
This assurance is based on an expert
ence of five years. Try 1t faithfully for
six months.
Exercise is Of great importance In
the treatment of indigestion. The best
forms Of exercise are those that secure
the most general activity Of the mus
cular system with pleasurable exhilara-
tion and recreation. The best of all ex-
ercise Is play Of various kinds. Out
door games, such as tennis, golf, hare
and hounds, skating, walking and 80
on are the most beneficial Exercise
taken Indoors and as necessity Is
less advantageous, but Is necessary
where the more stimulating outdoor ex-
erclse cannot be taken.

He had put her away from him sud-

across the sloping garden at the bay
below, sleeping in the soft evening light
The schooner which had brought the
witnesses from Port Arthur lay off the
shore, and the yellow flag at her mast
futtered gently in the cool evening
breeze. The sight of this flag appeared
to anger him, for, as his eyes fell on

and turned round again. Some sudden,
desperate whim caused him to exclaim,
Suppose l had not done all you think,

Her eyes, raised to his face with anx-

Eeved herself to have inflicted, fell at
this speech.
What question! I don't know.

If there had been for a moment any
sentiment of remorse in his selfish heart
the hesitation of her answer went far
to dispel it. With the hypocrisy of self

laid the little head upon his heart with
a sensible glow of virtue

THERE are vague rumOrs of a
railroad coming into this valley at
no distant day, and a number of
knowing people shake their heads
and look wise when the reporter
endeavors to find from whence
the rumor originated. Some be-
lieve that the Western Pacific and
the V. & T. people are looking
over the situation in this vicinity,
while others maintain that the S.
P. Co. will be the one to get a
road up through the valley first.
There is one thing certain, and
that is that a railroad from Wa
buska south to the Bodie and Au-
rora would be paying piece of
property just as soon as the mines
of this district and the southern
country are set in operation. 1t
is also quite certain that none of
the big copper properties in this
vicinity will operate very extern
sively or build plants for the re-
duction of their ores until a rail-
road runs closer to the properties
than at present.

THERE is some talk of laying
out new townsite on the other
side of the river. There is no ne
cessity of such a move and it
would only benefit a few who
have town lots to sell. There is
plenty of room in the present
townsite and it is located in the
center of the valley. There is no
room for two towns so close to-
gether in the valley and the bust
ness in both would be poor if an
other is established. Mason Val
ley don't need any town lot boom
ers. She wants home-seekers and
settlers and men of means to de-
velop her mines.

SATURDAY. :. MARCH II, 1906.
Information Wanted,

This Office is being deluged with
letters from people in Utah, Colo
RADIO, the Western States and some
of the Eastern States, asking for
information about the great Walk
er River country. Probably other
business men of the town are hav-
ing the same experience. If SO,
they must know that it takes con-
siderable time to answer these
communications, also stationery
and stamps.
To attend to such matters as
these the business men of this
community should organize an
association of some king which
would elect Secretay, into whose
hands all communications could be
placed for answering.
To facilitate the work of the
Secretary it would be we'll for the
association to have compiled and
printed in the shape of neat lit
tie folder, an abbreviated descrip-
ton of this country, together with
a conservative statement of its re-
sources, both agricultural and min
eral. These folders could be mail
ed for the price of of an envelope
and one-cent stamp, and would
do much good in attracting mining
men and home seekers to our won
derful country.
The time to do this is now, when
the people of other States are
seeking to know something about
Mason Valley and the great Walk
er River country.
