must remain a secret, but for the pur

1t needs no nature reader to tell us
that hereabouts once sparkled and
murmcrcd the waters of a great inland
sea. Recent articles appearing in the
state papers give the name OF this
sea as Lake Lahontan and its western
state extremity lay along the border
Of Pyramid Lake, although its surface
was 500 feet higher III the olden days
Lake Lahontan was approximately 600
feet deep and had an extreme expause
OF nearly 5000 square miles. which
means that ii stretched from the west
ern shore OF Pyramid Lake to nearly
the eastern border of Elko county
Our geological friend who recently
visited this part OF the state found
the markings OF an age extending
back $4,000 years. He came expect
ing OF remain but short time, but
remained for six days and each day
uncovered to his knowing vision new

has changed. The one language that
almost all of the delegates know is
not French, but English, and if it
were not for the French delegates
there would be no need to call il an
