Judge Massey of memo, Attorney Glib
bons of Tonopah and Rufus Thayer,
of Goldield. were in the supreme
court this morning to argue the ap-
peal from the Esmeralda court where
in Weber asks for re-trial OF his
case.
Judge Massey took up the morning
session and Attorney Gibbons began
shortly before noon. The appellant
asks that the judgment of the lower
court be reversed and that his mo
ton for a new trial be given him.
Weber was convicted in Esmeralda
on a charge of embezzlement in con-
nection with some stock deals and at
torneys for Weber assert that the
fact upon which the case was found
ed was not proven. that the crime
was not proven and that Weber is a
victim of a miscarriage of Justice.
The court probably will take the
matter under advisement as soon as
the arguments are finished.

40 YEARS AGO

This day 40 years ago II. NJ. Yer

earth for the construction of the Vir-
ginia and Truckee railroad.
And he has been on the job ever
since.
The first section of the line was OPP
Grated between this city and Virginia
City long before the line was COM
pleted into Reno. The engines were
hauled up he terrific mountain
roads from Reno to Virginia City by
team and from Reno to this place
in the same manner. At that time
the main line was the side track that
runs beside the mint lot.
When Mr.. Yerington began to en-
tend his Inc to Reno he met with
some opposition. One man. John

bridge in Reno. jumped out in front
of the grading gang when it arrived

ED STEWART
VISITS THE
BRUNSWICK

I'm company with the members OF
the Brunswick Consolidated Mining
Company, l nave just made a visit to
mine near your city that gives
promise of being one OF the best cop
per producing mines in the state"
said Ed. E. Stewart, one OF the best
known mineralogists the Coast to-
day.
"The people Of the City Of Carson
apparently do not appreciate the fact
that within a short distance OF the
city is to be found one OF the best
copper prospects that l have seen in
many years. In travelling through
the district for a distance of several
miles on ground owned by the Bruins
wick company and others / found con.
ditions that one versed in copper
lore could not afford to pass by un.
noticed.
From the point at which the great
andesite belt it met in what is known
of four miles, in looking over the
surface indications I find the various
formations known as andesite, mica
ceous shale and lime, all OF which are
in evidence in other we'll known min
ing camps in which great copper
mines have been developed
THE width of the veins and their
continuity appeal to me as being
conditions in which the people of
Carson City should take more than
passing interest and waken to the
fact that within this area the Yering-
tons and their associates are doing
work which is a credit and will be
lasting benefit in my opinion to the
city of Carson and the state.

Barrack Buildings Wrecked.
All Danger Now Over,
Storm Speeds SeaWard

The exact location of the center of the
tropical disturbance this morning, as in
dictated by the reports to the weather
bureau, is between 200 and 300 miles of
Jacksonville, Fla. The usual path of the
West Indian hurricanes, which come up
from the gulf and sweep the Atlantic
coast. is to pass to sea anywhere between
Key West and Norfolk, then to veer
northeastery and continue into the north
Atlantic. Storms of previous years have
been known to continue their destructive
paths all the way across the Atlantic,
leaving in their wake many a wrecked
vessel.
At Key West this morning the storm
had spent its force. A northwest wind
was blowing and rain was falling. The
thermometer registered 81 at o'clock.
Reports from Tampa, Fla, indicated that
the storm was little felt there, the dis
turbance having passed somewhat to the
south of that place. There being no OBJ
server Of the weather bureau at Miami,
no reports Of the effect of the hurricane
i'm that city have been received here.
Storm Signals Come Down.
All storm warnings on the Atlantic and
gulf coasts have been ordered discontin-
ued, but the weather bureau advises ship
ping interests that the hurricane is con-
tinuing over the Atlantic. and caution
should be exercised by masters of vessels
about to pr oceed across the Atlantic.
1t is fully expected that incoming re-

ton would have been very much greater
except for the prompt action of the wealth

every available agency WARNINGS of the
approaching hurricane.
