4 FINE RCAlE0LOGIClI
s. COLLECTION IN ELKO
Presented 10 the Y. M. c. A.
bYsDr. West

Few Of Elko's citizens are pro-
badly aware that fine archaeo-
logical collection was recently pre-
senled to the Y M G. IA by DR. West
of Elko. If you have not exam
ined it do so at your first oppor-
tunitH as it is well worth inspect
ing.
This collection contains several
perfect arrowheads from the state
OF Illinois. It embraces several
varieties, composed of var
ious materials. all Clipped care
fully bya populous race with in
finite pains.
The "bird points of semi-prec-
ious stones are highly interesting.
They were used by the Indians of
California. Oregon. and Washing
ton, to shoot the silver horde
of salmon.
There are several stone axes of
various weights and dimensions, to
which the primitive Indian fastened
q handle by means of thongs of
deerskin. The collection of "celts"
are highly interesting. They are
commonly called 'skinning
stones" and were used to take the
skins from the animals slain in
the chase.
Part Of this collection came from
a cave near Lovelock. A few
years ago this cave was opened,
and rich deposit of guano discov-
cred, of commercial value. In re-
moving this guano the skeleton of
an Indian was discovered, and near
it a large basket, and water jar
filled with the effects of this Indian
chief, which his friends Thought
that he he might find useful
as he journeyed over the happy
huabipg grounds. We understand
thisasket and jar are to be found
in DR.. Vests private collection at
his home.
The contents of both basket and
jar are to be seen in the collection
at the YtM c A, and consist Of q
string $50 feet long made of wild
hemp, and woven into a rabbits
net. Besides this net there are bone
avis used in sewing, and hone fish
hooks. There are also some wild
decoy ducks stuffed with tule,-a
} sort Of flag that grows ia marshes.
The Piutes (this prefix ''Pi" means
original Utes) tell an interesting
legend regarding this cave near
Lovelock. How a strange Indian
tribe came. walled up the cave;
built fires in front Of the entrance,
and smoked the prisoners out.
Two rare Egyptian curios are
found in this collection. They were
presented TO Or West by Mr Chas
Henderson Of this city. MIR Hen.
derson during his trip to Egypt
was presented with mummy,s
foot, and a sacred hawk. wrapped
10 mummy cloth. His Egyptian
guide found both these curios ut
ancient Thebes and gave them to
Mr.. Henderson. At the least calcu.
lation they are 1000 years old. and
have been pronounced by antiquar-
ians as absolutely genuine. BY all
, means. after you have read this

SINK WATER CAUSES MURDER.
Woman Killed by Andrew Burt in
 Neighborhood Quarrel.

Lime Rock, Conn, Nov. 9.-During a quarrel in her home tonight, Mrs John CorToti was shot and instantly killed by a, man who the authorities al1ege is Andrew Burt. The latter made his escape after the shooting, and officers are securing the woods for him.
 According to the authorities, the trouble started because the Corrotis threw sink water and other waste into the yard so that it threatened to pol lute the well owned by family by the name of Belott, where Burt board- ed.
 Burt. who is alleged to have been the Corriti home, with the ostensib1e purpose of rebul1fng the family for their action. Words passed, and as the argument became more heated, one of the men in the Cofroti family is said to have thrown a stick of wood at Burt, which just missed his head. Burt then went back to his house, it is said, and procured a shotgun.
 He entered the Corfoti house again, and aimed the gun at Corfoti, but his aim was poor and the load of shot struck Correti's wife full in the head, She dropped to the floor, death being instantaneous, Before other members of the family could get their wits together, Burt had disappeared, He ran for. some distance and then dis appeared in the woods.

INTERVENTION MORE HUMANE. Mexico City Residents Do Not Want
 Rebel Cause Strengthened.

Mexico City, Nov s1-Government officials foreign residents and the peo- pie of Mexico realize that the re1a- tfons between this country and the United States are strained almost to the breaking point, but there is per- haps no man in the entire republic who knows tonight what Washington will do tomorrow,
 John Lind himself. who represents the president of the United States, is and if General Huerta is anxious at all regarding what may develop he does not betFay it.
 Although he has sent to the dip1o- matic representatives of the foreign nations a note, which in effect is a defiance of Washington. he was cons spicuous in the cafes about town long after the midnight hour, and today indulged in relaxation in the company of his military friends
 Do Not Fear Intervention,
 Tn his formal statement to the dip lomats General Huerta said that it was now foreseeD that the recent cleo tions were null, as too few precincts had participated in the voting and that therefore the new congress would annul the elections. New elections would then be called and he would continue his programme of pacifica- ton.
 More uneasiness Is apparent at the American embassy than at the nation- al palace Az the palace the opinion was freely expressed not infrequently accompanied by sneeFs that the United States would never intervene in Mex ico.
 NIT. Lind is fully eognizant of the delicate situation and waits with keen interest word from President Will son and Secretary Bryan, but today he received only assurances that the president was interested in certain de- veIopments and q request for the con- tinuance of his observations.
 Nr Lind expressed the view that this waiting policy would not be con- tinued for many days.
 To Regard Mexico as Non Existent.
 At the American embassy it is re- garded as logical that Washington perhaps tomorrow will furnish vital developments in the relations between the two countries. This assumption is based on the Washington note to General Huerta, in which Huerta is assured that refusal to comply with the American demands will result in President Wilson's applying >to con- gress for power to use Sterner meth- ods and the threat to place time limit on Huertas continuance in of fee
 IL is considered that President Huerta's open note to the diplomats will make it impossible for Wash ington longer to withhold the exact character of Huerta' S reply which was made last week.
 Opinion in Mexico is. widely diver gent as 10 what Washington's atti- tude will be now In some quarters it is thought that President Wilson may recommend neither intervention nor direct assistance of the rebels, by means Of recognition of their beli1 gerency. but that he may issue note 10 the powers. setting forth that here after the United States will regard Mexico as a non existing nation and repudiate all her acts, whether al- legedlv legal or otherwise.
 Intervention Would Be Humane.
 Of these three courses, inc Mex jean officials most fear perhaps the

cRITIcIsEs HUERTA.
Former Mexican Minister to Russia
 Not in Sympathy With Him.

London, Nov. 1o.-Miguel Covarrubi- as, who recently resigned his post as Mexican minister to Russia because he was out of sympathy with President Huerta's policy, arrived in London yesterday. He contributes a two col mnn statement on late Mexican history to the Daily Telegraph
 Senor Covarrnbfas declared that the election of Francisco Madero, to the presidency was the g1oTfons dawn of democracy in Mexico and says that ft the present time nothing could be more absnrd than the idea dr Mexico again submitting to a military dictatorship.
 'General Huerta," he continues. '"will perhaps some day understand that the only. possible method of governing is to act of the people, through the peo- pie. A new light has dawned and the democratic ideals, seen in their full eff feet at the very doors of t1eir country, are deeply rooted in the hearts of the Mexican people,
