TELLS OF SUPER
NATURAL POWER

| read in your issue OF last week
weather forecast that had, as
you, stated, been going the rounds
OF the press. ! wish TO relate some
forecasts that have been made in
Carson Valley, and can be proven
by many living witnesses.
The one that made this forecast
does not claim to be wiser than
scientists. nor does he boast of any
great knowledge, but two years
ago last November prediction
was made that a great food would
visit Carson Valley n the early
Spring somewhat unusual, for
most floods happen during mid
winter. Also another prediction
was made that year ago, the
winter of 1907-'0S would be a mild
one, with shortage Of water during
the following summer, which camc
to pass, as can e proven, and last
November this same party predict
ed a very wet winter, with high
water, and it has come to pass.
The predietor OF this claims to
have gained his knowledge through
supernatural power; the same that
was given three thousand years
ago, and the conditions on earth
are now, ms they were then, only
people Of today look upon such
predictions as nonsense, and con
denim them. He has lived in Ne
vada 56 years, in fact, was one OF
the first settlers to arrive and the
oldest living resident that came
during the fifties.
Now let the press and pulpit
decide whether or not these pre-
diction came through higher power,
and show why, or whether the pre-
dictor ID fanatic and crank.

BIG STRIKE MADE
IN ALPINE MINE
Capt. Curtz Taps Rich Silver Ore
Body on Morning Star
Property.

News reached Gardnerville this
week from Alpine county telling of
rich strike made in tho Msrning
Star mine which il under bond to
Capt. Peter Curtz and associates.
The magnitude of the strike is not
knewn here but is to such an. sx-
tent that unusual excitement has
been displayed.
The strike is in silver ore aud re-
port has it that great chunks of
silver can be found through the ere.
The strike was made en- ledge
unexpectedly encountered and not
on the main body of ore that the
tunnel is designed to tap.
The mine is an old one and
years ago was worked extensively
by a company of English capital
lists. Rich ore was taken from the
property but because OF some dis
agreement among the owners re-
suited in a shutdown and further
was never worked by the alien
owners, the working were allowed
to cave and go to complete ruin.
Through a piece of good fortune
Capt. Curtz acquired possession from
the English men, and after enlist
ing California capital in the enter
prise started work about year ago
to open up the cid ore body. He
did not undertake to clean out the
compartment shaft and old work
ings, but took more feasible and
less expensive manner of progress.
An excellent tunnel site was at
hand and after months of per-
sistent and vigorous work the goal
has been about reached and the
rich body OF silver ore encountered
Just recently, clearly substantiatss
the belief that phenomenal rich ore
was found in the Morning Star
before the shutdown almost a de-
cade ago.

Had But q Few Minutes Start
On the Officers and Gave
Exciting Chase Before
Apprehendgd.

The Indian plodded on through
deep mud, wading and swimming
through sloughs when occasion re-
quired. When reaching the will
lows and heavy underbrush on the
river bank the Indian was not far
in the lead and was banking his
cunningness against the shrewd
ness of his pursuers and his real
fight for liberty started. He swan
the swiftly running river, crawled
through the tangled underbrush
and silently dropped into the
river, crossing aud reerossing many
times hoping to battle his pursuers.
With only his tracks on the
river bank where he crawled out of
the water, to guide them in their
chase, the trail got hotter, and
the posse became encouraged and
pushed on. In the meantime Hans
Nelson had received the telephone
and started up the river and after
being out short time locating the
indian, soaked to the skin any al
most ready to drop from fatigue.
The capture was made without the
slightesl trouble and few minutes
later the sheriff reached the spot
where Nelson and his prisoner
were standing, and again took
charge of the murderer.
The prisoner had been working
on his plans several days before he
made his escape and with a piece
of the stove, dug out large staple
and released An iron bar above the
window. After removing the
staple the Indian twisted up a
piece of his coat lining and placed
it in the holes and to the eye, filled
the bill. The staple was straight
ened and when the opportune
time arrived, it served as good
tool to remove the brick from ths
wall which required but few
minutes work.
The wall is very poorly con-
structed. there being one outer and
inner layer of brick, and between
them conglomerated mess of
broken brick and mortar that al
most erumbles to the touch,
The sheriff is pleased over the
speedy capture.

Last Sunday afternoon while
! Charley Kaiser, the Indian MUIR
derer, was left alone in the corridor
of the Genoa Jail for his after
Moons exercise, and during the
brief absence of his keeper, he dug
to liberty through the brick
wall aud directly over the west
window of the jail. When Sheriff
Wyatt entered the Jail not more
than Is minutes later to lock his
prisoner in the steel cell for the
night, his eye caught sight of the
gaping hole through the wall and
told the mute story. His prisoner
had escaped as did Joe Pete when
he was confined in the same jail
several years ago.
After making known the escape,
the Isheriff and his deputy, Carl
Falcke, took up the chase. After
much confusion, what appeared to
be the fugitive's tracks were locat-
ed near the school house and lead
ing through the snow along the
base OF the mountain. Through
the deep SNOW the two officers fol
lowed the trail, running whenever
it was possible, knowing that every
moment lost would lessen the
chances of capture just that much.
On reaching point back OF the
Dressler ranch and where small
stream of water runs from a cam
yon, the tracks ceased to be as
though the earth had opened and
closed on the criminal A few
moments examination showed that
the Indian, with the eunningness
of his race, had entered and walk
ed in the water to where il crosses
the county road, then entered the
Dresslsr field and made for the
Carson river. From the mountain
to the river the ground slopes grad
ual and gave the officers an excell-
ent view OF the territory being COW
cred by the prisoner and a few
minutes later the sharp eye of the
sheriff caught sight of the Indian
far it the lead. At the Dressler
ranch others Joined the sheriff's
party and in the meantime a tele-
phone message to Hans Nelson at
the Bridge to be on the watch for
the Indian.
