HEAVY DEW.

TERRIFIC RAIN AND THUNDER
STORM GOES TO MAKE UP THE
DEFICIENCY IN PRECIPITATION.
Somebody pulled the plug out Of the
celestial reservoir last evening and the
deficiency in precipitation was all
made up in about fifteen minutes.
After cool weather during the day, sew
eral storms backed UP over the city
at about 6 o'clock and turned loose.
The rain fell in torrents. It is too
bad to have to use this old expression,
but there's nothing else that will fit.
Sheets of water fell-sheets, pillow
cases and blankets. For about half
an hour water poured through the air
in rivers. After a quarter of an hour
the rain slackened up and took a Sec
end grip. Then it turned loose again
and came down more heavily than be-
fore, which was impossible. The soil
refused to absorb the immense guam
tity OF moisture which was discharged
by the clouds.
The storm was of about six rounds
duration. The rainfall was interm:t-
tent until nearly II O'Clock. With
the last few rounds of the disturbance
there was a heavy thunderstorm, the
electrical display being vivid and
noisy.
Although the soil was generally
moist, the rainfall will be beneficial,
particularly to the grass on the
prairies. This is making rapid head
way since the first rains, and stockmen
look for good feed. T.

damage by lightning stroke r re-

Boiler Interviewed.

The San Francisco Examiner of
July Bird publishes the following: u
l.. Butler, discoverer of the Tonopah
Mining District in Nye county, Ne
vada, which, he says, promises to
eclipse Cripple Creek, is at the st.
Nicholas. On Monday he disposed
of five locations made by himself and
friends to o. A. Turner of Grass
Valley for 1886, 900. A cash pay
ment of $50, 600 was made in the
transfer of the property. On Oct
ober lst a second payment of 500,
900 is to be made and on December
10th the final payment of $l86, 900 is
due. Butler has interests in many
other claims in the district, which he
says are just as good as the ones he
sold Those associated with the dis
coverer of the lodges are w.
Brougher, 7. l.. Oddie, w. c. Gay
hart and B. F. Higgs.
If was hog, said Butler, Il
probably could have got 81, 900, 900
for the property, but an offer was
made me and my associates and it
was good enough to be accepted
We only did three months work in
developing the property, and 1896, =
600 is good pay to me for that much
labor.
The mines are in the San Antonio
range of mountains, about sixty
miles from Sodavile, the nearest
railway depot. The ore, Butler says,
is very much like that taken from
the Comstock, 433 tons bringing "a
return from the smelling works of
S92, ll2 All the lodges. he adds,
are well defined and in some places
the groupings extend for nearly a
thousand feet.

The 'John R. Weeks Library"

The following letter received by
DR.. l.. w Allingham, of Tonopah,
from Geo, F. Weeks, of Alameda,
Cal, was a very pleasant surprise
both to the DR.. and the citizens OF
this place; Dear Sir: On behalf OF
the relatives of my brother John
r. Weeks, am writing this to in
form you that there has been shipped
from San Francisco to your place, a
case containing some 200 standard
works, which will form the nucleus of
the John II. Weeks Library. "
Cases for the same will be forwarded
in few days, Additions will be
made to the library form time to
time by us. After talking the mat
ter over with my elder brother who
has been paying me visit from New
York, we concluded that a library
would be sutible form in which to
express the sentiments of gratitude
which the entire family entertain
toward the good people of Tonopah
for their kindness and liberality. 1t
is indeed but a faint expression of
that feeling.
We concluded that you would be
glad to undertake to find some suit
able place for keeping the books,
where they can be accessible to the
public. ! trust you will not regard
this as an imposition upon your good
nature. but ! told my brother that as
we were brother Masons ! felt at
liberty to call upon you for the ser
vice.
Whenever a school house shall be
built in Tonopah that will naturally
be the place for the library but in
the meantime | presume that space
can be found for ii somewhere.
Thanking you for your kindness
and hoping that the citizens of Tono-
pah will find IN the books both in
structiOn and amusement, ! am
Sincerely yours,
G. F., WEEKS.
Alameda. Cal.
Already preparations are being
made to receive the library in IA
temporary building. A movement
will be- made next week for the
erection of public school building
and when it is completed the
library will be placed therein.
That the citizens of Tonopah APP
preciate the gift of the "Jom X.

the eagerness the volumes will be
read by our people

in mind I don't assert that the phenom- ena I have noticed are from another world All can say is that l am positive they are caused neither by the sun, moon nor earth. Therefore, from their nature, I am completely given over to the convic- ton that they are the first attempts of some other planet to open up communica- tion with us
 "Of course in an interview it is impos- sible for me to go into all the details or these phenomena. Suffice it to say that all I have observed has been of the simplest nature-rather a sort of suggestion that a question as to whether we understand, is being asked.
 Aside from all that I have noticed and the question of its probabilities, the ques- ton of nterplanetary communication is one of the most facinating that man can imagine Since the conviction came to me that possibly we are on the eve of the most marvellous thing that has ever come to pass, I have been completely carried away by thinking of the wonderful possi- bilities that lie behind such a consumma- ton.

Wizard of Electricity Hopes to See Communication Established GIVES BASIS FOR HIS FAITH Reports Recent Weird Experience With His OsciIlatory Instruments.
 Predicts That We May Talk
 With Mars and Venus

Nikola Tesla, the wizard of electricity, Is completely satisfied that attempts are being made by the inhabitants of some other planet to communicate with the people of this earth.
 'In some experiments have been. con ducting for some time' said MT. Tesla 10 the New York correspondent of the Chi cago Times Herald, 'I have been noticing disturbances that have had a peculiar ef- feet on my instruments. What these dis turbances are caused by I am unable to say at present, but I am firmly convinced that they are the results of an attempt by some human beings, not of our world, to speak to us by signals.
 'I am certain of some points in con- nection with these things I have noticed I am absolutely certain that they are not caused by anything terrestrial. know, too, that they are not caused by the sun or moon, and hence I am forced to the be- lief that they come from some other planet. That we can send a message to planet is certain. That we can get an answer Is probable Man on earth is not the only being in Gods great system of worlds that Is in possession of a mind."
 So spoke the great inventor in explana- tion of his message of greeting to the new century, given to the Red Cross As- sooiation and read at all the watch night services conducted by that organization in different parts of America New Years night. The message given out by MT. Tesla was written by him on Christmas eve, and this is how it reads:
 1.-The retrospect is glorious, the prospect Is inspiring. Much might be said of both But one idea dominates my mind. This my best, my dearest-is for your noble cause
 
 "I have observed electrical actions which have appeared inexplicable. Faint and un- certain though they were, they have given me a deep conviction and foreknowledge that ere long all human beings on this globe, as ohe, will turn their eyes to the Armament above with feeling of love and reverence, thrilled by the glad news:
