An examination has been made of the ellis and the Excelsior mountains in
Esmeralaa county this state, and Inyo county, California. The examination of
the ellis mountains wa made at the request of prominent and public spirited
on account # the extensive cutting of juniper and pinon timber, by
wood choppers. The protection of this timber is extremely important for the
properer development # the mining industry, since it is the only available
nearby supply.
upon which there is estimated to be a total stand Of 100000 cords. In this re-
gion there are 10 active mining operations being carried OF At the present time
but it is claimed by experts that the region is highly mineraized and is likely to
become the base of active operations in the future. For this reason, it seems
important that some action be taken with the view to the protection of timber.
The area examined for the ellis mountain reservation, embraces a greater

only untouched body in this parto of the state. The mountain slopes smear Haw-

The rapid development of the mineral resources Of Nevada makes it impera-

for the mines, but tmbered hills and mountains are necessary Tor the conserva-

period before any measures were taken to stop it. and the intervention of the
forest service resulting in the withdrawal of the land, was the only measured that

that all land valuable for timber in Nevada, should be put in National Forests in

fHE COAL SACK IN THE SKY.

1t Is Visible Because It Contains Moth
ing That IS Visible.
Immediately below the lower stars
of the group which forms the Southern
Cross there is black patch in the sky.
dark, sack shaped and mysterious.
Scientifically accurate astronomers ex-
plain that it is not patch, but rather
something which becomes visible by
reason of the anomaly that it contains
nothing that is visible.
The lay mind, preferring bald reality
to abstract truth. is somewhat startled
to learn that an object is seen because
there is nothing in it to see, but no one
can dispute the fact. The coal sack is
visible because it contains nothing that
is visible.
In other words, it is a vast hole in
the stellar system in which there is not
even a pinch of stellar dust to shed a
flicker of luminosity. 1t is typicaliy
and absolutely the quintessence Of
blackness.
Because it is SO, and III contradiction
of all preconceived notions, the human
eye can see it without the aid of a
telescope or other instrument.
Between the stars of the Milky Way
there are many little holes in the stel-
lar system-little by comparison, that
is to say-but one must have telescopes
and patience to find them. One need
only cross the line to the southern
hemisphere and locate the Southern
Cross in order to see the coal sack.
With the wealth of legendary tale
and fable woven around the northern
stars by the highly gifted races gaZ-
ing on them through the ages that are
gone one is tempted to speculate what
tales would not have been constructed
around that fathomless mystery had it
appeared north instead of south of the
equator.
When 1T rOuseS the poetical impulse
within the brain of aboriginal Aus
tralians, what might it not have done
with the ancient Greeks or still more
ancient Egyptians? But they were de-
MED it. The aboriginal uses it as he
uses most things, in topsy turvy fash
ion. TO him the world is a fat plain
crowned with dome shaped roof.
When a man dies he has to go up to
the roof and slowly journey over Ii
until he can Chamber down to the
fat again and squeeze through, once
more a man. The coal sack is the hole
he goes through to get on to the roof
and to get up to it is very long climb.
The journey over the roof is also
very long, and it is hard to squeeze
through when he reaches the fiat again.
So long does it take that by the time a
man has completed the journey not
only his hair, but his skin. has grown
white with age.
Wherefore the black fellow who has
made the journey rejoins his tribe as a
white fellow. Thus it was that when
the white man first came to the land
the aborigines regarded him AS long
lost comrade.-Macmillan's Magazine.
