EMPRESS THEATRE BEING
 REMODELED

Contracts for new decorations and the complete renovation of the Elm press Theatre have been let by Capt. A. F. Lathrop to J. V. Carter. The work involves the resetting of the opera seats, which will increase the capacity of the house by fifty. chairs. A new gold fibre screen, the latest and best moving picture screen on the market, will be installed.
 Particular attention was given by Capt. Lathrop to the interior decora- tions of the theatre. He recently pur- chased in New York paper and other decorations, which when installed will give CordOva one of the most attrac- tive show houses in Alaska
 The scheme of interior decorations is a heavy dull gold paper, with a light ceiling. Water color panels de- picting dancing girls will be placed at regular intervals around the walls.
 The foyer of the theatre will also be remodelled, making it more attrac- tive to patrons. The contract calls for the completion of the work in five weeks.

FROM GOLDFIELD

A telegram from Carson states
thai Frank H. Norcross yesterday
made formal announcement of his
candidacy for the United States sen
ate, to succeed Senator Pittman, and
will enter the republican primar'
les.
This is the first republican can
didacy so far announced in connec-
ton with the state primaries. Mr..
Norcross is serving his second tern
of the supreme bench and is the
senior member and chief justice OF
the court. Another member, Justice

nomination and will enter the p-i-
maries against Senator Pittman,
while a former member. j. q.
Sweeney, is, according to the Reno
Gazette of yesterday, contemplating
matrimony and a senatorial C at
the same time. Sweeney is a demo-
crat and is said to be in training as
a prospective entry against Pittman
and McCarren.
Two or three other republicans,
including former Governor eddie.
Sam Plat and A. H. Howe. of Gold
field, have been discussed by their
friends and by republican leaders.
but no formal announcement of the
candidacy of either has beeen made.

TAHOE NOT A CRATER
OF EXTINCT VOLCANO

The statement sometimes made
that Tahoe is an old volcanic GRAFT
err is not true. The region about
the lake shows evidences of vol
cani, activity of various kinds an /
the lake waters themselves have
probably teen damned at times by
outrourings of lava. A lava flow
appears to have temporarily filled
the outlet channel below lance
City, Cal. The lake, however, lies
in a structural depression, a drop
ped block of the earth's crust.
During the Neocene epoch and
the earlier part OF the PleistOcene
epoch the waters of Lake Tahoe
stood much higher than now, prob
ably on account of lava dams which
have since been cut through. Dis
tinct beaches that mark former
higher levels are found up to about
100 feet above the present lake,
but it is believed that the waters
formerly rose to still greater
heights. At Tahoe City the most
distinct of these old beaches is a
terrace 35 to 40 feet above the
level of the lake, and it is this
terrace that makes the level ground
on which Tahoe Tavern is built

SCENES OF INTEREST IN
BARREN DESERT REGIONS

A playa is a shallow, flat floored
depression characteristic of valleys
having no regular drainage to the
sea, in which storm waters collect
and evaporate, a wet and dry lake.

incrusted mud flat.

toric Lake Lahontan, in the Great

The scenery of the larger playas
is peculiar and is usually desolate
in the extreme but is not without its
charm. In crossing these wastes the
traveller may ride for miles over a
perfectly level floor, with an un-

thousand fancies which divert the
attention from the fatigues Of the

mornings in these arid regions, when
the purple shadows of distant noun

ISLANDS IN SEA OF LAVA

The valley of the ancient Snake
river in Idaho was flooded with
great o%utpOurings of black lava,
which spread out sheet on sheet,
buried the old land surface and
partly filled the valley with mol,
ten rock, which solicited and has
remained to this day undisturbea
except for the gorges that the
streams have cut in it. In some
places old mountains project through
the petrified lava flood as islands
project above the surface of the
sea, and old ridges stick out into
it as capes and promontories.
The area covered by the SnaTe
river lava is about 10000 square
miles. So far as is now known,
there is but one lava field in North
America of greater extent, the
Columbia river lava field, which
covers about zoo, 900 square miles.
In Snake river canyon below Sho-
shone Falls nearly 700 feet of hO-

mum thickness or not can not be
told.-Overland GuideboOk, Bulletin

NEVADA LINCOLN IN
ORE OF HIGH GRADE
c.. =. JOHNSON AND FEB RAW
BRING IN SOME RICH
SAMPLES

Several handsome specimens of
ore were brought from the Nevada
Lincoln mine by G. s. Johnson and
Zeb Ray, who visited the property
recently. One particularly rich
piece which was extracted from the
open cut on the lower vein was
assayed and found to contain 14.46
ounces gold and 1888 ounces sill
yer, a total value of $364.69. The
high grade from these workings is
sorted out and will be shipped. In
the meantime Superintendent Frank
Wilson has a force of e at work
prospecting two other veins, which
outcrop near the top of the hill ana
which show good mill ore on the
surface.
A block of ground has been leas-
ed to A. Crawford, who has driven
a drift from the main tunnel into
his ground and is in mineralized
rhyolite.
Superintendent Wilson, who with
Murray Scott discovered the Ne
vada Lincoln and has done a largo
amount of development work on
the property, has 10 men employed
and is bending his energies to the
development of the mine to a con-
dition that will warrant the con
struction of a mill.

WILD BEASTS ROAMED
PRESENT NEBRASKA PLAINS

Could the traveller in Nebraska re-
store the landscape of late Tertiary
time, he would find himself sur
rounded by scenes greatly different
from those of the present. The
swampy lowlands we're covered with
vegetation similar to that TO- grow
ing in most climates farther south.
Camels and llamas were abundant,
and during the Pliocene epoch great
ground sloths and glyptodOnts,
whose relatives now live in South
America, Inhabited western Nebras-
ka. Mastadons with tusks on botn
the upper and lower jaws, much
like those OF the Miocene epoch,
still persisted. Short legged dhin-
oceroses remained abundant, and
there was a great variety of wolf-llke
carnivora. Saber-toother tigers and
true cats, some of them considerably
larger than the modern tigers, were
also abundant. Three-toed horses
were still numerous, but the modern
genus Equus was not among them.
One of the most curious animals OF
the time in Kansas and Nebraska
was q gopher-like rodent that had
two large horns on it's nose. Its
enormous claws indicate good bur-
rowing powers and it's horns also

COPPER PRODUCTION
MADE RECORD IN 1918

The production of copper in the
United States in 1915 passed all
previous records, according to the
United States geological survey.
Preliminary figures and estimates
have been collected by B. S. Butler.
who has received reports from all
plants known to produce blister
copper from domestic ores and re-
fined copper At an average price
of about 17.3 cents a pound the out
put for 1915 has a value of $780,
900 900 compared with $152,968,-
900 for the output for 1914.
The figures showing smelter pro-
duction from domestic ores repre-

of the companies for II months and
an estimate of the output for De-
cember. The figures of a few COM
panies for November were not
available, and these companies fur
nished estimates for the last two
months of the year.. According to
the statistics and estimates receiv-
ed. the output of blister and lake
copper was 1868. 800 900 pounds ir
1915. against 1,150,137,0OO pounds
in 1914.
The output of refined copper fro~
primary sources. domestic and for.
eien. for 1915 is estimated at l.
CAT 100000 pounds. compared with
1.533.7S1,O 900 pounds in 1914 and
with the previous record production
of 1.615.OO0, 900 mounds in 1918.
The average price of copper for
1915 showed a marked increase
over that of the preceding year. be.
ing about 17.3 cents a pound. COM
pared with 1873 cents in 1914.
At the beginning of the yea the
price was relatively low. ~butsteadily
advanced until it reached a maxi
mum of about 20 cents a pound
near the middle 70 the year. Dur
ing the last half Of the year the
price remained uniformly high.

the money is represented by state

but has not yet found who
will part with their favorites for
less than from $500 to $500 a head.
