A. SLAB OF BLACK STONE.

Key to All the Ancient Writings Of the
Egyptians.
There Is a slab Of black stone in the
British museum which if you could
walk away with it and establish your
claim as the owner you could sell any
day for a quarter Of a million and find
half dozen money kings in England
and America ready to buy it.
There Is nothing very striking about
this stone. 1t might be a piece of
black marble with some peculiar hero
glyphIcs upon 1t. But it IS just these
hierogIyphics which make 1t SO valua-
bic. because they are the key to all
the ancient writings Of the Egyptians.
and without this stone. called the Ro-
setta stone, we should be. unable to
read the Egyptian writings which have
been discovered from time to time.
Some French tourists found the Ro-
setta stone in Egypt and transported
1t to Paris. where an Englishman took
fancy to it for a garden ornament.
He paid f5 for it's sovereigns and
got treasure which you could cover
with gold and yet not represent its
value, but till the day Of his death be
did not know what that bit Of stone
was worth. London World.

The PRINTING Press.

The ra5st useful all round invention
to humanity is the printing press.
Generations ago some philosopher said,
In the world there Is nothing great
but man. and In man there Is nothing
great but mind" That is to say, while
there are many great things, the great
est is mind. 1t is by and through his
Intellect that man has risen to the
mastery Of the planet, and whatever
sharpens the intellect at the same time
advances the worlds civilization. This
the printing press has done as nothing
else has done, and therefore to the
printing press belongs the honor Of
being the most useful all round inven-
ton known to man.-New York Ameri-

WHY NEVADA IS
In THE LlMELIGHT

From the Tonopah Sun.
These days a great deal of talk is
heard, in n%eighboring states especial
ly, of the fact that a mine must be
labeled "Nevada,' or must be in
Nevada, before investors can be in
duced to pay the least attention to
it.
Even if situated but a mile or but
a very few miles over the line Of an
adjoining state, that acts as an EN-
barge in the sale of mines and the
securing of capital as much as if they
were many miles beyond.
That describes a happy lot which is
that of Nevada, being thus the pit of
investors everywhere, but there is
Nevada has made good before the in
vesting world. 1t has the min S and
has proven them to the satisfaction
of all. Its mines are real; they ship
real ore, of enormous quantity, and
the ore turns out the bullion in paying
quantities.
Starting seven years ago. in the
deepest of distrust and the most VIC
lent forms of public disfavor the dis
covery of Jim Butler attracted some
attention and a vast volume of doubts.

so fabulous that the ones who heard

The Prosperity of Elko County
and the Poverty of Humboldt

saves the pennies, where Humboldt
county does not.
Elko county pays her Justices OF
the peace and constables stipulated
salaries. Humboldt county pays the
constables and justices of the peact
of only three of her towns more c.
some occasions than she does Ter en-.
tire list of court house officials.
The commissioners of Eiko county
say to all the newspapers IN the coun
ty: "We have a certain amount OF
printing to be done; whaJ viii you
do it. for9D and Elko county thereby
pays for its printing lui advertising
what any other corporation or com
pany or business man OF private cit
izen would pay for printing and adj
vertising.
The commissioners of IIumpo'ot
county talk to one newspaper III tn
county, and only one, and they pay
that aewspapsr what it charges them
irrespective of what worK could be
done for, or would be done, by other
papers in the county, and, thus what
on an average Elko county pays $25
for in the printing and advertising
line, Humboldt county pays six times
that sum
Humboldt county has Just borrowed
$55, 900 to build new jails and a new
hospital. We do not dispute the uses
to be served by these county build
ings but we are of the opinion that
ways and means could have been de
vised by which the county would not
have needed to have gone under sue
a heavy bonded Indebtedness for their
construction. Elko county seems to
be getting along very well with It's
present county buildings.
We do not believe the law that was
passed at the last Legislature author
izing and instructing Humboldt coun-
ty to borrow half a hundred thousa.'d
dollars for new buildings was a good
law. The Humboldt delegation which
fathered and fostered the bill may
have been sincere in their IntentIons.
but Humboldt county could have got
ten along for some time without q
new Jail and a new hospital. The
county previous to this law was just
getting out of de5s. After struggling
for years under a heavy bonded in
debtedness incurred in the construe-
ton of the court house, the county
was just beginning to call in the
bonds and to clear the debt. Daylight
was just appearing in the dark night
of Indebtedness. But ere the county
can call itself out Oh DEBT a Demo.
cratic delegation from Humboldt
county passed bills which throws the
county into the slough of debt. Had
these laws not been passed at this
time, the county would soe have been

that Humboldt is ~evtravagsnt Elko IS

Geographically there is little differ
ence in size between Elko county and
Humboldt county. In wealth and pop
ulation the two counties are about on
a par. Both counties have had wide
agricultural and grazing areas, and
both have extensive mineral fields.
But there is a difference that seems
almost ~unaccountable, considering tie
otherwise equal condition of size, pop
ulation and wealth.
Elko county is prosperous-ex-
tremely prosperous, as the following
news item illustrates:
ELKO, N ev., Sept. 9.-County
Assessor Weathers has just com
pleted his tax roll of the county
for the year 1907, which shows
a total valuation of $9,7S8, 1904,
a gain of $550,S94 over last year.
Elko county is the richest IN
the state. 1t has over 10000 IN
the county treasury, not or. cent
of which is apportioned to any
fund, and it has not a dollar OF
bonded indebtedness. No county
in the west can make as good a
financial showing. Its tax rate IS
the lowest in all Nevada-$l.2O
on the 800 assessed valuation. OF
this amount 20 cents is the state
tax, which the county is obliged
to collect, leaving the actual rate
for the county only 80 cents on
? the 800.
Humboldt county is not poverty
stricken, but she is poor alongside of
Elko county. She is now under a
heavy bonded Indebtedness of over.
$4,000, and is paying annually on
