left when the whites from Genoa
arrived.
1t was a hard struggle for the first
pioneer woman. At one time she
cooked for forty men on the river
and reared her family. The station
known as '.Nick's' became famous.
A new station was built that cost
$1,000. In order to clear the debt a
dance was given. 1t lasted three
days and nights and when it was
over there vas money on hand to
pay for the place.
Her husband came in 1919 to Cal
ifornia and almost Immediately
crossed the plains to Nevada where
he lived and died. He settled at
Empire in 1851. He hauled the first
load of lumber that went to Virginia
City. He imported the first barrel
of whisky from Kentucky.
1t was Mark Twain who stated
that it was the most famous and
lasting barrel of fire water that was
ever imported, as it was never empty
and from it any kind of a drink was
possible.
1t was such hardy pioneers who
made Nevada possible. Mrs. Am
brose has been a patient yet hardy
pioneer. She has been gradually
failing for months, yet was an un-
complaining sufferer. Her family
of two daughters and four IONS were
with her when death closed the
earthly path. The deceased was a
native of Illinois, where she was born
on June 20, 1884.

FIRST PIONEER WOMAN
Is CALLED BY DEATH.
Mrs. Rebekah Ambrose of Empire
and Virginia Who Helped Make
Nevada History.

Monday morning at her home in
Empire, Mrs. Rebekah Ambrose, the
first woman settler of that town and
the first white to settle on
the Comstoek, passed away sur
rounded by her sons and daughters,
says the Carson Appeal.
The deceased was a real pioneer
She crossed the plains with an emf
grant train and with a party anne to
Virginia City. She with her husband
came up from Johnstown in 1851,
and settled where Virginia City o
stands. They opened a small tent
restaurant and she did the cooking.
Several are yet alive who remember
the event and she was recognized as
the first white woman to settle on
what proved the richest silver lode
the world has known.
The deceased with her husband a
little later moved down on the Car
son river and started "Nick's sta
tion," now Empire. 1t a here
that the first child was born in 1858.
The first boarding house on the
river went up and land was home
steaded which is still in her name.
During the early days when the
Indians were giving trouble, Mrs.
Ambrose and her two small children
were compelled to leave the station.
With the two children she mounted
a horse and went to Genoa for assis-
lance, leaving her husband at the
station. This was in 1860. She ar
rived at the settlement and assistance
went to Mr.. Ambrose, who was do
ing the fighting. One Indian had
been killed by him and the others

He does not believe that man Is al
together born in sin, as the English
prayer book states. That he called
a most horrible doctrine" He said:
You cannot go to these Chinese
or japanese with doctrines that are
mere traditions. Take the doctrine
of Justification by Faith, or the At

etc. These are not acceptable to the
Chinese or Japanse minds. They find
more In Confucianism or Buddhism.

SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON DESCRIBES BERGS

Sir Ernest Shackleton makes the following state
ent London concerning the north Atlantic icebergs
prevalent at this of the year and how they may
Dc detected by ship captains:
Northern bergs formed of land and ice carved
from land glaciers in the winter. There is general
breakup of ice in spring. and the danger zone consists
moi only of the actual cebergs but the great foes of ice
that come drifting down until they eventually melt in
the warmer gulf stream
Speaking of the detection of icebergs, Sir Ernest
said the usual method is to take the temperature of the
water every half hour generally also when the ship
nearing ice there mist owing to the difference OF
temperature of the atmosphere and the water.
If the ice is to the windward of the vessel feels
