new HIGHWAY
ABOUT FINISHED

Grayeling of the new highway
south OF Gardneryille has been COM
pleted and with the exception of a
small amount of finishing work, the
new road is now completed.
Beginning at a point on the fiat
over the first elevation beyond the
Ruhenstroth ranch, the new high
way extends TO Double Springs Sum-
nit, distance of approximately six
miles. In laying out the new high
way, all of the sharp curves of the
old road were eliminated, and grad
ing and cuts were made to keep the
new highway on even grade.
Teislau Bros, the contractors, have
succeeded in building what is said to
be the best piece of graveled high
way in Douglas county. lnasmuch as
the old road over the Double Springs
Summit, was in deplorable condition.
especially during the winter months,
the new highway will be greatly ap-
preeiated by the travelling public.

FOSSILS FOUND In
SMITH VALLEY

The following week will find Hud-
son station of Smith Valley the scene
of great activity when Professor
Archibald n. Brown. a noted bone
ologist of the Eastern world. will
arrive in the company of several
prominent scientists.
This expedition has been sent To
Nevada by New York museums in
order that they might continue stud
les of ancient fossile bones of the
pliocene period.
IL is to be recalled that last month
Professor Brown made detailed
survey OF the mountains near Hud-
son. also examining the bones that
have attracted much attention.
In a report to the New York Mu-
seums DIR. Brown disclosed his find
ings as follows:
In the mountains northeast of
Hudson. Nevada. ! chanced upon sew
eral large bones, evidently those of
a mastoid. After careful study of the
sand formation and by piecing to-
geiher such bones as was able to
dig up, ! have concluded that the
skeleton of giant dinosaurs was
buried In that locality.
The bones that have been studied
so far are those belonging To the tail
OF the great beast. and from all indi-
cations the skeleton lies buried in a
hole at least 150 feet deep. IL Is
evident that this animal had fallen
into a great hole headforemost. and
owing TO its bulk was unable to
withdraw. dying of starvation. As
time passed and the flesh decayed or
was eaten by preying animals. the
drifting sands gradually filled the
hole with sand until now nothing
but the tail bones are resting on the
surface.
When the excavation of the bones
begin next week the work will be
rushed TO completion. 1t is estimat-
ed that Of the entire skeleton Is 10
berecovered 1t will require a hole $50
ieet deep and $50 feet in diameter.
As the mones are taken from the
earth they fill be treated TO a coat of
shelac which will protect them
from the air.
The bones will be mounted In Yer
mgton prior to the shipment TO New
YORK, thus giving the people of this
section a chance to look on one of
natures marvels.-Masn Valley News.

CROPS ARE in
fine CONDITION

The warm weather during the past
ten days has has been exceedingly
favorable to growing crops in Car
son Valley and grain and alfalfa is
doing remarkably well. The fear that
was expressed early in the season,
relative to a shortage of water for
early crops have not run true to
predictions. There is more han suf-
tficient water running in both East
and West forks of the Carson river
for all requirements The run-off is
not as great as in normal years and
the present abundance of water will
not continue throughout the summer,
but farmers now believe that they are
assured a good grain crop and they
are morally certain of a good first
crop of alfalfa.

great. open stretches of the Canadian
wilderness, and a story fairly pulsat-

turous thrills of the land of the
Northwest Mounted Police, "The
Eternal Struggle" to be screened at

seem like the real thing. 1t is.
Reginald Barker directed the pic
|ture for Louis b. Mayer presenta-
tion through Metro. The story is
based on G. B. Lancaster's powerful
novel. "The Law-Bringers," and the
scenes were filmed in northwestern
Canada on the original locale repre-
sented in Mr. Lancaster's book.
Months were spent in preparation
for the trip, for mechanically it was
big engineering project, and be-
cause of the tremendous overhead on
the company every conceivable obsta-
Gle had to be solved before hand in
order to prevent costly delays once
