RETURNS HOME
AFTER 50 YEARS

County Commissioner Fl. stoker
departed last evening for Los An
geles. He will visit there for a
few days and then go north over
the Clark road to Denver, and
thence to his old home in Logan,
Iowa.
Fifty years ago, Mr. Stoker. then
a beardless young man in his teens,
squared his shoulders and directed
his course toward the land of the
setting sun. He landed in Nevada.
The cabin where he cast his first
vote, and that for Abraham Lin
coin, still stands in Elko county.
Now, after over half century in
the sagebrush he returns for the
first time to the land of his birth.
He does not expect to return until
time for the regular meeting of
the commissioners in May Love-

LETS A LEASE ON
MANHATTAN MINE

The management of the Manhat-
tan Carson Mining company has let
lease of two years duration on
the mining ground in Manhattan
to John Powell who will shortly
start work on the property The
property Is one of the best loca-
tions in the now producing and
promising camp. Several applica-
tions for leases have been received
for the property but satisfactory
terms could not be agreed upon.
The property is patented, its
books clean, and very little of the
treasury stock has been sold, while
none of the personal stock has been
scattered about, making the corpora
tion one of the strongest in the
camp, with no debts or hinderances
to the ground. On several occa-
sions high-grade ore has been found
while a big ledge of low grade was
developed by the company workings.
Powell takes over the entire claim
and will probably have some sub
leasers working on the ground be-
fore the summer is over All in
side property in Manhattan is now
considered of value and this prop
erty is situated between a num-
Der of the producing properties

An average of forty cars of gravel

Perth gravel pit for the work of
ballasting the double track west of

gravel from Perth is the best along
the s P. line between Sparks and
Ogden. 1t is of a remarkable uni
form grade and when once thor
oughly packed down is almost as

NEW YORK, March Rail-

eventually to come to some agree

satisfactory and safe as possible.
The opinions of the two parties diff
fer enough to make it probable
that the argument will begin at

the whole process of manufacture to

MathemstIcs in Ancient Eaypt.

Among recent archaeological discov-
cries ian Egypt is that OF roll OF
papyrHs in an excellent state OF pres
eryation and dating from the year
1900 B. G. The roll has a long title,
part of which reads, Instructions to
enable one to know the Dark Things" ;"
and the gist Of It suggests that the
Egyptians were good at mathematics
Without doubt the Egyptians OF that
time possessed knowledge OF the
elements of arithmetic. Numerous ex-
ampes demonstrate that their prin-
cipal operations with integrals and
fractions were by means OF addition
and multiplication; but subtraction
and division were not known in their
present form. However, by longer
and more invomed process they ar
rived at results pretty accurately. In
the papyrus are found equations, for
example: 'Ten measures of barley are
divided between ten persons in such
a way that each succeeding person
receives an eighth less than the per.
son Immediately preceding him. What
proportion does each one get?" An
other problem Is: There are seten
men. each one Of which has aeyen
cats: each cat has eaten seven rats:
each rat has eaten seven grains OF
barley: each grain of barley must
have produced seven measures oi
grain How much grain has been
lost?" The papyrus contains also the
calculation as to the area of circle
the quadrature of circle, and the
cubic measurement of the pyranidss--

Curious White Island.

What is perhaps the most sxtraordi-
nary island In the world is that WHICH
lies thirty miles to the northeast OF
New Zealand. White Island Is an
enormous mass OF rock nearly three
miles in circumference. rising 900 feet
above the sea, and 10 perpetually en-
yeloped in dark clouds that are visible
for nearly 100 miles. This island con-
sists almost entirely of sulphur. with
a small percentage Of gypsum. Some
years ago an attempt was made to
float company to work the sulphur.
which is OF high quality, but sufficient
capital was not subscribed. The ex-
port of sulphur from White Island is
therefore still very small In the In
terror is lake fully fifty acres in ex-
tent. the water of which has a tenn
perature OF 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
and It Is strongly impregnated with
acids. On one side of this lake are
craters from which steam escapes
with great force and noise. This steam
and the vapor from the lake form the
dark clouds that envelop the island.

total of 54,OOO,OOO pounds entered tbs
country. as against but 2.50e. 900
pounds in the fiscal year 1911. The
marked falling on In importations OF
raisins is. the result Of the rapid in
crease In domestic production, which
first attained commercial Importance
In the early seventies. The American
raisin industry had its beginning In
the great San joaquin valley Of Cali

ducing area In the United States In
1873 the California crop was but 120.-
900 pounds, while in 19f0it had grown
to 112,00O.00O pounds. While these
figures suggest a growing consump-

sumption Of raisins In the United
