Fided into two postal districts, each

Or these districts the first extends

on their rounds punctually at eight
o'clock every morning, and. needless

only takes from four to five hours to
deliver the mail. so that the poStman
does not waste much time. In foggy

Interesting Finds Made In Humboldt

Theodore Roosevelt is now shooting in

made by Prof. J. G. Merriam, head of
the department of paleontology and
historic geology of the University of
California
Remains of animals discovered i'm the
Virgin valley and Thousand creek
region of Humboldt county, Nevada,
according to the professor. bring to
light the interesting fact that many
years ago antelope and other animals
were able to cross from the old world TO
America over the region now covered
by the Atlantic ocean.
During the summer of last year q
archaeological expedition was organ
lied and financed by Miss Annie NJ.

of studying extinct animal life in the
more recent geological formations of
northwestern Nevada. the collection
Obtained being presented by Miss Alex
ander to the University of California.
The party worked over the region of
the Virgin valley and Thousand creek,
in which Il small collection was obtained
by Professor Merriam in 1906.
Under the direction of Professor
Merriam. the explorers found Il twisted
horn antelope, of the same group as
the Gland and kudu. which are now
engaging the attention of Roosevelt in
his African hunt.
These animals, Professor Merriam
says, have not been found heretofore in
America, and therefore the discovery
is of considerable Importance to the
scientific world, as the same family has
been found in Europe and As III in
comparatively recent geological forlna-
tiOnS.
The results of the expedition were
recently made known by Professor
