\ sENTILLION.

A newspaper scientist recently
made the Statement that the pro-
gency OF single fly in lis life OF
10 days, is as high IS seXtillion.
We do not know whether the
learned gentleman has been count
ing specks on the window or shoo-
ing hys off the top of his pate
while reading the comic section of
Sunday newspaper. 1t makes lit
tie difference, as this item is writ
ten purely for educational purpose.
What we desire to do is to let
those of our readers who may have
forgotten know that the way to
write sextillion in figures is to
inscribe a figure II" at the left
hand side of a sheet of paper (pre-
ferably white) and keep making
ciphers until you reach the other
side of the sheet. If that doesn't
amount to a seXtillion not many
people will be able to dispute it
anyway Clark County Review.

He flushed and bit his lips.
But aren't you glad?' said she.
1T was a silly thing that high

GOOD
FIND IS MADE
At RAWHIDE

". +. Casson Of Carson City, who
is interested heavily in Rawhide,
has received some good news from
one OF the leases in Rawhide A
very rich strike has been made on
the Viroqua ground, situated on the
Roseberry estate on Hooligan hill.
The fact that several parties are
after a sub-lease tells the story. As
says that have been made show
most hatering returns, while a
grab lot of ore that has been sent
in shows free gold in nearly every
piece
Mr. Casson is endeavoring to hold
on to this valuable piece of ground
and hopes to be able to continue
work on the new find 1t is GER
tainly mighty good looking ore and
comes from one of the best claims
in the camp Some of the richest
ore ever mined in Nevada comes
from this ground and the new strike
resembles the former rich rock that
was uncovered on the Alexander
lease, which is cloIo 70 the new
ground.
Word from Rawhide indicates
general revival in the camp. The
mill owners who have been working
the leaser's ore since the caml

started and who have been keeping
the camp back by their inadequate
treatment, have all decided tina;
cyanide plant is the only thing that
is worth while Two, if not more,
cyanide plants are to go into the
camp in the next few months and
Rawhide will make a record that
will put it on the map again. There
is no question as to the values that
have been uncovered in this camp.
Ii has been merely matter of
treatment of the ores. They are
practically all free and all that is
needed is modern treatment which
is now promised Carson Appeal.
