Where Ones Breath Falls as Snow.

Verkhoiansk, a small village
in the northeast of Siberia, is the
coolest place in the world. 1t is
a convict station. No precautions
against escape are needed, for
Verkhoiansk is guarded by the
wind. Though the average tenn
perature of the three worst win.
ter months is IS degrees of frost,
intense cold like this is easy to
bear in calm weather. But a
strong breeze at that tempera-
tnre or within 20 degrees of it
Will kill every living thing not
under shelter. In the icy cold
OF Verk hoiansk an iron ak head
dropped on the ground smashes
like glass. A board of unseason-
ed wood, Oh the other hand,
freezes as hard as steel. Frozen
nicotine blocks the stem of to-
ba co pipes, while ones breath
falls at ones feet in a fine white
powder.

draw their words, make pauses
where there are none, and blum
der in various ways before they
acquire the ability to repeat The
words they have learned to form
S 3ntence which has an INTEL,
gent meaning to them. Much
perseverlng Flooding is required
efter that before they can get
the meaning in one short page.

Meanwhile a footman arranged a
card table, at which the quartet took
their places and instantly became alb
sorbed in the game. Miss Haldane
manifested no special interest in the
play, and at Gormly's suggestion she
left the hall and went with him into
the inviting little library through the
broad open doors that gave access TO
II from the hall. Another fire was
burning there. He drew a low chair
before II in which she sat down. He
himself stood with his arm resting on
the mantel, looking down on her.
The two were in plain sight from

low tones their conversation was in

TO START WORK ON
CARSON RIVER PROJECT

Within thirty days, fifteen miles
west of Fallon, the preliminary
work will begin in the Carson
reclamation dam. which is expected
to occupy from 200 to 400 men for
a period of two years; to lost
from $780, 600 for the dam
proper to s. 5000, 900 for all the
adjuncts which will enlarge the
Truckee-C Carson project from co.
600 to FOG, 600 acres. and which,
when completed. will be one of the
biggest pieces of reclamation
engineering in the United States.
The dam will be 1000 feet long,
$50 feet across the top, 600 feet
thick at the base, and ITO feet high.
The surface will be rip-rapped and
at either end will be a massive
concrete spillway with sluices to
regulate the release of the i'm
pounded waters.
By means of the dam it is pro.
posed to back the waters of the
Carson river up for a distance of
twenty miles, and virtually convert
ing it into an intermittent lake,
with the deepest part lis feet
deep. The Improvement will do
more to develop the agricultural
interests of Nevada than anything
that has been done in the last five
years.-Exchange.

GOOD WORDS FOR NEVADA

The Chicago Mining World of
January Fl contains an annu al
review of the mining industry of
the world. 1t devotes more than
three pages to a review of the
industry in Nevada, giving the
production of 1910 as SAL. 1865, 600
and showing the enormous and
healthy increase in operations
throughout the state. The article
states that from an unprecedented
and unbiased standpoint and from
careful stoudy of the situation, it
appears that Nevada is destined to
be n of the greatest milling
states in the Union And now, as
the search for milling ores is
started and milling ores will BE-
developed. this search will develop
other great high-grade deposits
and the state will in all probability
boast other such camps as Virginia
City, Tonopah and Goldfeld."
