RELICS OF OLD RACE
IMPORTANT FIND REPORTED BY
NEVADA SCIENTISTS. tS
Traces Of Ancient Civilization That
Antedates Anything Known In
American History Said to 6eja
Discovery of Recent Date.

The archaeological department Of the
University of Nevada has nearly COM
pleted the exploration Of cave in Me-
vada, sealed up by nature 5000 years
ago. It contains relics of what Is be-
lieved to be the ancient race from
which the American Indians sprung, a
race far older than the Aztecs. Among
the things brought to light is a skull
declared to be more than 5000 years
old certainly and possibly in existence
several hundred thousand years ago. II
these surmises are correct it is older
than the Piltdown skull, found in
Kent, England. ..' ~.
= Along with the skull were found
many relics Of q prehistoric race In
remarkable state Of preservation, be-
cause. they have been Theoretically
sealed In natures own preservatives.
The first mention of this ancient
civilization that Is remembered by
white men dates back to 1874, when
General Fremont led from California a
little band Of whites across a new trail
through the Rockies. He followed the
Humboldt river until he came to the
shores of what is now called Hum
boldt lake, half mile east of. the main
Humboldt range of mountains. and a
mile south of Lovelock, New. In the
region of the lake he entered the land
of the Piute, the chief of whom was
Winnemucca. The trail makers were
met by the Indian chieftain with open
arms. & }.@. Il.
h General Fremont and his party were
guests of the Piute band for many
days. Familiarity with other tribes
had taught Fremont method Of COM
munication by means Of signs. He
asked the Indian chief If he, in his
great wisdom, could tell the white
man whence came the red men-their
origin. The aged chief by signs indi-
Gated that the history OF the Indians
went back to the beginning OF the
world. It told him his ancestors had
driven whole nation into a huge cav
ern and sealed them there to perish.
When years later Chief Winnemucca
had learned the white mans tongue
the Piute legends spread among the
pioneer miners and finally reached the
ears of scientific men. With the COM
ing Of educators into Nevada in the
last Is years interest quickened with
reported fossil discoveries in the beds
of extinct rivers and on the falls Of
canyons. s7s b ,i:ss w
At Winnemucca's death his daugh-
ter, Sarah, became attached to the
family of an army officer, and through
them the legends became public when
they were recounted in q book printed
in 1870. a. 5 y d. 5 &flI n a 3a &s4
Her granddaughter, Sarah Winnie,
mucca, was educated In a reservation
school. Her imagination fired by the
legends of her people, she repeated
them to her instructors, until finally
Prof. J. c. Jones, chief of the archeo-l
logical department Of the state uni
versity, determined tc make q search
for the lost cave. The stories indi-t
Gated that it must be somewhere near
the Humboldt lake. Sarah Winnemuc-5
ca picked a spot as near as the leg
ends could guide her, from which point
the scientists conducted their search

SOME FLOWER NOTES

Pot youE callas early in September.
Sprinkle powdered borax around
plants that are bothered with ants.
Mark the native plants when in
bloom, and this fall transplant them
to your border. Many Of them are
worth having In the garden. ~
The spotted Gala will die down
after blooming and should be left in
the ground until late autumn, when it
can be taken up and stored until Jam
uary. Store like gladiolus bulbs. Il,
For rose mildew spraying with sui
phide Of potassium, using one ounce to
three gallons ofAwater, is much more
effective than the old-fashioned
method of busting the foliage with
flowers of sulphur. M
Try making climbers Of your choice
petunias. Trim out all but three or
four branches and keep these tied up
to a stake or trellis. Give them rich
soil and plenty of water, If you want
something beautiful. IS

Cost Of Building Wire. Fence.

An idea of the cost of building
barbed-wire fence is given in a circu-
lar relating to fence building in North
Dakota, recently issued by the United
States department Of agriculture. The
costs in North Dakota are high, owing
to the fact that all material, including
posts, must be shipped in, and for this
reason the figures are thought to rep
resent practically maximum for this
country. The maximum cost per rod
is 1863 cents, for a three-wire fence
with posts spaced one rod apart. A
two-wire fence with posts spaced one
rod apart costs 1922 cents per rod; a
four-wire fence with posts spaced two
rods apart costs 29.7 cents, and FIVE
wire fence with posts spaced three
rods apart, 80 cents. The figures also,
show the low cost Of wire as compared
with posts both in construction and in
upkeep.-Popular Mechanics.

STOP FOREST FIRES
United States Forestry Service
Seeks PubIic's Cooperation.
Ten "Don'ts" to Be Observed in the
Woods to Prevent the BIazes
Which Are Causing Big
Losses in East.

Washington. - TO obtain the CO.
operation Of the public in preventing
forest fires, which are doing a great
deal of damage in the East this
spring, the United States forest serv-
| ice has prepared ten "don'ts" to be
observed in the woods. 1t is hoped
that these rules may have beneficial
effect during the fire season of the
southern Appalachians, which is not
which is just beginning, and which,
from present indications, promises to
be unusually severe. -,
The "don'ts'', follow:
4 /. Don't throw your match away un-
til you are sure it is out
2. Don't drop cigarette or cigar
butts until the glow is extinguished.
8. Don't knock out your pipe ashes
while hot or where they will fall into
dry leaves or other inflammable ma
terial. =
4. Don't build camp fire any larger
than is absolutely necessary.
s. Don't build a fire against tree,
log, or stump, or anywhere but
ON bare soil. "s 1 -
6. Don't leave fire until you are
sure it is out; If necessary, smother
it with earth or water.
z. Don't burn brush or refuse in or
near the woods If there is any chance
that the fire may spread beyond your
control, or that the wind may carry
sparks where they would start a new
fire. o. :s g.5-t
8. Don't be any more careless with
fire in the woods than you are with
fire in your own home. ,.:5 5,,5 .,,s,,
9. Don't be.;idle when you discover
a fire in the woods; If you can't put
1t out yourself. get help, Where. a
forest guard, ranger or state fire war
den can be reached, call him up on
the nearest telephone you can find.

'lessness and negligence are the causes
of more than half of the forest fires
in this country, and that the smallest
