Mr. LeBaron would not give a near estimate of the time these early Chinese-Whites lived ir the section that is now occupied by Churchill county. It may have be-r six thousand years ago, or sixty thousand, he said, nor have the other scientists mentioned calculated calculat-ed the time of their residence here. While here the Examiner scientist interviewed A. L. Robinson, L. VI. Crehore, Ceorge W. Forbes, F. 11 Headley and others who have discovered dis-covered relie.9 of considerable interest. inter-est. In a cave three miles beyond Stillwater Still-water Mr. and Mrs. Robinson found a skull of a child after digging down more than a foot on a ledge. The skull was found under a layer of uniformly notched sticks about two feet long. Excavating from a difficult diffi-cult position Mr. Robinson discontinued discon-tinued his search until he could take equipment to the cave. He believes other Interesting relics may be found near the resting place of the skull. While at the caves Mr. Robinson copied a number of characters which Mr. LeBaron at once identified as sarly Chinese, some of which were translated here this week. Writings drawn with red ochre In caves and etched on exposed rocks at various points around the valley photographed by Mr. Headley were found to be ot the same origin after a careful Inspection by Mr. LeBaron. It was through information sent the Examiner by Mr. Forbes and Q. L. Clayton that archaeological investigations in-vestigations In Nevada were diree'ed to Churchill County. Mr. Forbes is considerable of a student and has located a number of prehistoric i alios al-ios of importance, among then being what. is believed a structure of petrified petri-fied wood that has been dubed "Noah's Ark". One of several mummies found in Guano cave between Fallon and Lovelock a few years ago by Capt. Crehore has recently been brought into considerable prominence by investigators. in-vestigators. The mummy was in excellent ex-cellent state of preservation and was wrapped in a feather burial robe. It has been identified as of the Chinese-White race that early inhabited in-habited Nevada, and is considerad one of the most important findings In the state. Mr. Harrington and Mr. LeBaron left Thursday for Lovelock to make further investigations there. With his staff Mr. LeBaron will return later to Fallon, and after flndir.s have been more fully completed more Information will be released to the local press. Fallon Eagle. FINDS ANCIENT CHINESE INHABITED NEVADA That hierglyhpios found In caves near Fallon and on Hoyeh hill were made by a prehistoric race of Chinese Chi-nese and white mixture that lived in the Lahontan valley more than six thousand years ago Is among the findings of Alan LeBaron, archaeologist archae-ologist for the San Francico Examiner, Exam-iner, who Is conducting an' Investigation Investi-gation over the state of Nevada that will continue from two to five years. .Mr. LeBaron Is backed In his opinions opin-ions by such scientists as Dr. Max mllllan Brown, dean of all colleges of New Zealand, and Dr. G. Elliott Smith, scientist of London, both of whom have identified cave writings like those found here and a skeleton found by L. W. Crehore as from a race antedating the Indians. Mr. LeBaron, who was In Fallon this week with W. P. Harrington of the state highway department, declared de-clared at onoe whin shown photographs photo-graphs and drawlugi ot characters found In caves and em rocks In this section that they were a mixture of Chinese and Aryan. Similar writings were recently declared to be In art early Chinese by a Chinese student at the University of Nevada. Hleroglyhplcs found near Fallon are the same as those found In what Is known as Guano or Bat cave between be-tween Fallon and Lovelock and In caves or the Walker river country. Translations ot the characters, showing Aryan or early Egyptian similarities as well as Chinese, by Mr. LeBaron were given an okay by Dr. Smith ot London. In the Baker caves near the Lehman Leh-man caves recently Investigated by Mr. LeBaron, BclentlaU of the University Uni-versity of Nevada and Governor Scrugnam, the characters are not found to be of Chinese origin, said Mr. LeBaron, while In Fallon. They are strictly European, It Is believed', and antedate the first record of writings more than six thousand years ago. "Furthermore," he said, "bone implements were found there that were not supposed to have existed at the earliest recorded period, and very much like those found only in caves ot southern France and northern north-ern Spain." This leads 10 the conclusion that early races ot the Lahontan valley were a mixture ot Europeans and |
