he was called to the happy hunting

SHORTHAND SYS-
TEN OF ANCIENTS

Biologists from the Mackay School
of Mines of the University of Nevada
are planning to make a complete in
v~estigation and examination of pecu-
liar stone carvings IN Hieroglyphic
Canyon, San Bernardino county, Cal
ifornia, and similar prehistoric rec
ords near st. Thomas, in Clark coun-
ty. Nevada.
In the San Bernardino canyon the
hieroglyphics are carved in black lava
while those in Clark county are cut
in the Silurian sandstone. Both stone
carvings are of unusual interest for,
even the layman will readily recog-
nize in them, records. messages, maps
and writings of prehistoric a
Investigation by the authorities may
develop the fact that a system of
shorthand writing existed in the age
Of the dinosaurs. On a rectangular
shaped rock in Hieroglyphic Canyon,
is a message carved in stone. The
message is in twenty-one dots and
twenty-three dashes and lines which
bear a resemblance to the Morse tel
egraphic code.
Old residents of this locality adj
vance the theory that certain curved
lines. on other stones in this canyon,
represent water ways. On one rock
is a crude bit of stone chiseling which
is supposed to represent a map show
ing the typographical arrangement of
a certain land section.
A prominent mining engineer who
is a graduate of the Mackay School
of Mines recently visited the canyon
and is of the opinion that this canyon
was the court of record of some tribe
of prehistoric a In one part of the
canyon is a natural rock and lava for
nation resembling a temple or wor-
ship place. Near this temple-like for
nation is a stone carving of what APP
pears to be maps, records. rulings
and decisions of a tribunal of man of
the stone g
The carvings on the sandstone
cliffs in Clark county are apparently
somewhat different origin, being pic
torial characters.
These stone carvings are doubtless
an indelible record of an a~ntedeluvian
age. They may bear a message that
when deciphered would change histor-
ical opinion.
