The secretary had, list of their

and as the miners appeared they
would give their names. He would
glance at the list and count the
money from II table near by. On
that table there were tills with
$50 gold pieces in $500 piles, the
same as in a bank, thai is the $50
pieces were built 20 pieces high
and the silver for change was in a
heap on the table. One day as the
paying was going On MI. Mackay
was sitting inside of the rail with
a friend from San Francisco. when
looking up, outside the rail he
saw a kindly old Irish woman.
Mackay left his friend, walked up
to the rail, leaned toward the We
mar and said, What is it?' She
began, Mr.. Mackay, we are awful
ly poor st the house'--He simply
walked to the table and picked up
three of the little $40O heaps of
gold. Walking in his brisk way TO

"CHUAly SAVED HIMSELF

A little dog, unlicensed, had been
found in the streets and taken to
the pound. He was ali affectionate
animal and greatly endeared him
self to all about the place. They
called him Chum and he joyfully
responded whenever his name was
spoken. AS the days passed, other
poor, homeless dogs were put to
death. Finally came Chum's last
day Of grace and no one had come
to claim him. The next morning
dawned and the man who was to
kill Chum called him into the yard.
Chum danced and waeged his tail,
thinking TO doubt that something
good was in store for him. The
man then said: We'll ChUmmy.
your time has come. You'd better
say your prayers" Immediately
the little forepaws were crossed
the little head bowed and Chum
said his prayers. AS the little body
was still in this attitud of rever-
ence a step vas heard. The attend
ant looked up and saw the superin-
tendent standing there. There
were tears in the eS es IF each.
Chum is still living, but instead of
being nobody's dog he is now every
body's.-St. Louis Republic.

ONCE 4 GREAT LAKE

Since the greater part of agrl-
culture in Nevada is absolutely de-
pendent upon irrigation for crop
pr production, the question of water
supply is one that is of vital i'm
portance not only. to those engaged
in agricultural pursuits but to the
entire population of the state says
r. l.. Peterson irrigation engineer,
". S. Department of Agriculture
in 9 paper published in Better
Farming, a publication issued
monthly by the University Of Ne
vada Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton. The entire state Of Nevada
says Mr.. Peterson, does not lie
wholly within the limits of TIE
Great Basin-that is the ares in the
western porti IN of theUnited States
whose rivers do not drain into the
sea. The Muddy and Virgin rivers
in southeastern Nevada drain into
the Colorado river and the Salmon,
Rruneau and Owyhee drain into the
Snake River Basin. The principal
rivers in the area of interior
drainage in Nevada are the Hum
boldt, Truckee, Carson and Walker.
At n time all these rivers drain
ed into a common lake, and a short
reference to this ancient lake, TAX
en- from different parts of the
monogram on Lake Lahontan nv
Israel Russell, will not be amiss at
this point: In very recent gee
logical times, but now passed away,
an ancient body of water known as
Lake Lahcntan covered a number
of valleys in central and north
western Nevada. Into this lake
drained the rivers of Nevada that
are in the Great Basin-the Hum
boldt, Truckee, Carson and Walker.
The confluence of these waters made
a very large and irregular shaped
lake having an approximate area
of S,422 square miles, and in the
deepest part over the present site
of Pyramid Lake had a derth of
1856 feet. The extreme southern
limit of this lake was a short dis
lance from the town of Hawthorne,
Nevada and the extreme northern
limit was the Honey Lake valley
in northern California. The west
ern edge of the lake extended into
the Truckce canyon, a short dis
lance above Wadsworth, Nevada,
and the eastern edge reached to
Golconda, Nevada. After the Sec
ond food age the water e~vaporated
to conplete desiccation and ieft'a
number of existing lakes which
are now known as Pyramid, Winnie
mucca and Walker and the Hum
boldt and Carson Sinks"
