~O the editor: When a person

n there family a summer cottage
on some lake or ocean they genally
always hnd themself faced with a
problem that in a great many Incl
dences has drove them to the verge
of insanity and in several cases has
caused brawls which has came near
disrupting the happy home, namely
the problem of what name to give the
cottage after it has been boughten.
for it seems like 1t is a social error
to have a anonymous summer cot
tage and no one but the veriest
bounder would live in a cottage
without a name.
The problem would be simple
enough if cottages could be named
like streets which in most cases the
names don't mean nothing. but the
rules of naming cottages demands
that the name either be appropriate.
that is, descriptive of the cottage IT.
self or the grounds surrounding the
cottage or the inmates of the cottage,
or else that it suggest pretty senti-
ment such as that visitors is always
welcome and they can stay as long
as they want to and are guaranteed
a good time as long as they stay.
1t is these requirements that makes
the choice of name such a tough
undertaking because in most cases
neither the husband or wife can get
a inspiration without straining them
self and in other cases what the hus-
band thinks is suitable don't make no
hit with the wife and vice versa with
the result that they often quarrel and
exchange violent language to say moth
ing about rights OF the jaw.

Big Sandstone Quarries.

THE worlds largest sandstone
quarries are located in Ohio, a few
miles to the south of Lake Erie, in
the vicinity of the towns Of North
Amherst and Berea. From these
Quarries come also vast quantities of
our whetstones and grindstones, and
there is very much that is OF interest
with respect to the industry.
Z One of the quarries has been mined
to a depth Of l65 feet In places and
the distance around It is mile and a
half. Looking into this pit from one
edge, one is. reminded OF the ruins
of the Colosseum, for the walls are
cut in shallow terraces, which are not
unlike the seats OF the open-air the
ater of the ancients.
In cutting block of sandstone
wedges are driven in sidewise at the
base of the block. while steam drills
bore holes from the top to meet the
openings made by the wedges A ma
chine called 3 channelsr then cuts
the block away.

"A nomical theories, the history
~ of the origin and evolution OF
all stars is practically the
same. Our sun also is a star, though
insignificantly small compared with
others, and its history, so far as it's
main features are concerned, is typi-
cal for all other stars, says the Sci
entiflc American.
Stars are believed to originate from
nebulae by the condensation of the
mass of elemental gases of which the
nebulae consist. Spectral analysis has
disclosed the presence of only three
gases in the nebulae examinedA-hy-
drogeh, helium and nebulium, an ele-
ment unknown, as yet, on earth. OF
all gases known. hydrogen and helium
offer the greatest resistance to con-
densation by liQuefaction, and nebu-
Nlium is probably similar in that re-
spect. 1t is more than probable that
other elements could not be spectre
scopically identified in any nebulae,
because they could not exist in
gaseous form at the temperature of
stellar space, closely approximating
zero. No evidence of the existence of
the heavier elements in nebulae has
ever been found, but it is not impossi-
Bile that they may exist in the center
of the nebular mass. following the
laws of gravity. while only the rare
fed light gases surrounding the
denser center betray their presence
when made luminous by Hertzian
waves passing through space. Whether
this is really so, or whether the
nebulae, from which the stars are
evolved. are composed in the begin
ming of the three gases above mem
toned only, while the heavier ele-
ments are gradually evolved from
them by rearrangement of the struc-
ture Of the atoms under the syn
thetizing effect of condensation, is
still an open queAtion.

ONCE the inception of the United
- States Treasury and the establish
ment of its central headquarters in
Washington. not single case OF dis
honesty or defalcation has occurred
among any of its local employees. This
is indeed a remarkable record of
trustworthiness and fidelity, when
one stops to consider the many bill
lions of dollars that have been hand
led in the national vaults and deposit
tory during the last century. In the
administration of John Burke as
treasurer of the United States. more
than $4,000. 100000 in gold and cur
rency and negotiable securities pass
ed through the hands of Treasury
employees. A shortage of but $4,000
occurred during that administration.
1t consisted of some bonds, which
were probably lost and burned, as
their coupons have never since been
sent to the Treasury Department for
collection.
If persons who make anonymous
contributions to the national con-
science fund would but only partially
explain what the hush money they
send to Washington is for, such in
formation might be used advanta-
geously In clearing some other party
who was not guilty of the circum~
stantial evidence which, otherwise,
would. perhaps, identify him as the.
one concerned in the unofficial mis-
demeanor. In certain cases, the
Treasury authorities have associated
the return of conscience money with
trivial offenses that have developed
in the handling of government funds
in different sections of the country.
UnquestionabIy, the donors of the
anonymous contributions could give
some data concerning. the why"
when" and how" of the gifts
without exposing their indentities-
which would be of outstanding as
sistance to the guardians of this
novel national legacy in clearing the
records of innocent persons who
otherwise might be suspected of
minor offenses

COLD AND SNOW TAKE HUNDREDS
OF LAMBS IN EASTERN NEVADA

Landing and sheep losses this
week have been heavy. The weather
has been unfavorable and taki?g the
county over newly born lambs have
died by the hundreds.
The worst losses were during the
first of the week, when the snow
storm came. 1t was worse forty to
sixty miles north OF here than in this
immediate locality, but everywhere
in eastern Nevada the weather dur
ing the week has been too cold for
young lambs and their numbe- has
boen depleted accordingly.
A lamb born in the night in six

Aler Long Is Third
Man Hurt in Collision

Alex Long is the name OF the third
man who was in Happy Hopes jitney
three weeks ago when II was hit by
Nevada Northern engine near Ruth.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Long began
working as a miner in Minnesota un-
der Bill Geraghty as shift boss. Since
then he has become an expert shaft
man and follows the business of con-
tracing shafts. Last year at Eureka
Utah, he sank various shafts ano
made many thousands OF dollars
there. He was returning from Eu-
reka. New, where he had gone to fig
ure on shaft contracts, coming to Ely
by way OF Hamilton and Kimberly
when the accident happened.
That night after having the. cut on
his head dressed he dined at the
Geraghty home. other than that his
clothes were torn. He left here Tor
Utah the next morning.

ports that thousands OF tons of ore
have been developed and that its
claimed average value is $35 n ton
mostly silver. but enough gold 20 pay
the operating costs.
This is what the mill is to be op
Grated upon. but it Is understood
that the plant may be for the further
purpose of treating custom ores and
furnishing the whole Kawieh countr,
with what IL has needed most for
more than sixteen years.
During that time ii has been the
common remark OF mining men o,
Nye county that the Kawich country
has plenty of milling ore and would
appear on the map whenever there
was plant at hand to overcome the
past barrier of haulage. The truck
freight cost from Bellehelen to Tcno.
pah al present is quoted at S15 a
ton. The distance is ffty-two miles
with a good automobile road.
The company during the last year
or So has shipped hundreds of tons
of ore to the Belmont at Tonopah
realizing large profits from its treat
ment after paying all expenses OF
mining, freight and treatment
The promoter and moving spirit
of the company is w. f. Gray, who
was active in several promotions al
Goldfeid. Oatman and Divide. Later
he held bond on the Tognoni group
lat Silyerton. which caused considera-
bic of stir in Ely three years ago.
Associated with Mr. Gray is Henry
Weber, a prominent Goldfeli op-
orator for many years F. +. Young
Is the company engineer.
Mr. Goodman reports the under
standing at Bellehelen and Tonopah
to be that the mill is being built by
General Bulkeley Wells and associ-
ates. who are operating the United
Comstock at Virginia City Their
mill builder. Mr.. Little, is building
the Bellehelen mill
The report is that the Gray and
Weber interests negotiated a deal
giving the Wells people 40 per cent
of the stock to build the mill and an
option on the rest for $250.e00.
A third feature Of importance, ae
cording to Mr.. Goodman, is the de-
yelopment of six-foot ledge of mill
ing ore on Eden creek by Mr.. Fritz.
II Is few miles still farther to the
southwest. II has been opened by a
tunnel 1900 feet long. which was
driven in eighteen months OF perse-
vering labor.

sCRUGHAM FAVORS HIGHWAY R]T
OPPOSES PRIMARY DESIGNATION

nv letter written this week Gov
srnor Serugham has indicated to
Gael S. Hoag, field secretary of the
lincoln Highway Association, that
h. will declare himself in favor OF
huilding both the Lincoln and Vie.
,orv highways. out will oppose des.
lgnating the former as primary
route. Here is what the governor Is
ouoted as having written to Mr.
Hoag
In my opinion the interest of the
state of Nevada requires the con.
struetion of both the Lincoln high
way and the Victory highway
routes, together with appropriate
east and west connections. | an
not justified in making The state
mont that il Is tile wish of the peo-
ple of Nevada that route No. 2 be
designated as the primary east and
west route across the state 1t ap-
rears to me contrary to the public
interest for any of the proposed
east and west routes across the
state TO be designated as an ex-
elusive primary route.
By route No. the governor means
the Lincoln highway. He said in the
letter that he would recommend that
II be designated as a part OF Nevada 5
: per cent or federal aid system. but
opposes 1t being designated as pri-
mary highway.
The distinction here Is hardly clear
except by surmise. which must he
based upon the governor definition
Of a primary highway In his Ely ad-
dress Asked here what he under
stood the meaning OF the term pri-
mary highway To be. he answered
that 1t was an interstate road.
II the Lincoln highway is net des
lgnated as an interstate road tie nn.
derstandlng here is that that will lift
every shadow of an obligation upon
the part OF Utah 10 build its share
Of II and that the eastern terminus
Of the highway will be at lbapah
The belief here then is that
after Nevada has done its share
and accepted the aid OF the federal
government the benefits in the form
of east and west travel would be de-
MED and thwarted by reason If the
refusal OF Utah to close the 10A-mile
gap from Fisher summit 10 Ibapoh.
Mr. Quayle's argument at the Ely
meeting was that II the Lincoln high
way were declared a primary ROAD
Utah would be compelled 10 build
iis share This would leave the pres
eni attitude OF the governor open 10
the assumption that the effort TO
compel such connection should be
abandoned.

.BELLEHELEN STRIKE IS Of GREAT
RICHNESS, ACCORDING TO ELY MEN

The Bellehelen strike is apparently
of wonderful richness aud the dis
trict of immense extent. according To
the report brought back by j. Henry
Goodman and others who visited il
the first of the week.
II had been kept under cover since
Christmas by Frank Dorehty, its dis
coyerer. until he could get all the
ground he wanted. Since revealing
its existence he has sacked SIX tons
of the richest ore. which is ready for
shipment.
Mr.. Goodman brought high grade
sample to Ely and II is on display at
the Northern hotel. II shows many
colors of gold that are visible with
out a lens and one corner Of II Is
exceedingly rich in silver. The rock
itself Is sort of volcanic conglom-
crate of yariegated colors. with much
hematite. and the latter carries the
gold. 1t is right of the surface
The strike IS described as being III
a vein near the top of high, rocky
knoll. The vein or iron streal: runs
longitudinally through a rhyolite
dixie that Is some thirty feet wide
The width of the streak itself as
opened varies from a few inches to a
foot and half II has been opened
to a depth of ten feet The width os
the opening Is four feet and all the
dixie IS said TO carry milling values
The claimed assay values of the
streak are 2.S00 ounces in silver and
forty ounces in gold.
Tho knoll Is said To be a difficult

reason IL has been sparingly visited
by prospectors II Is near the SUM
nit of the Kawich range, some three
or four miles easterly OF the old camp
of Bellehelen.
A second attractive feature OF the
camp IS the near completion of the
seventy-fve ton mill. which should
be in operation by May Is. and the
energetic program of the company
owning 1t. the Bellehelen Merger
Mines Company.
This company's holdings and mill
are little farther out from the old
camp than the new strike. They con-
