HEAVY SNOWFALL IN
RENO AND VICINITY

The heaviest snowfall of the sea-
son began as the new year was being
ushered IN and is still continuing, al
though with abated yigor.
Coming after a period of excessive
ly low temperature 1t is but natural
to conclude that the storm is by no
means yer
The precipitation in this vicinity
up to noon is about four inches.
In the mountains the storm Is still
raging. At Truekee there is about
three feet of snow and five feet on
summit. The Southern Pacific ON
pany has not experienced any diff
iculty in operating trains and does
not expect any, as the snow is light
and is easily cleared from the cuts by
the plows.
The previous foundation of frozen
ground and well packed snow of the
previous storm. make sleighing con-
ditions ideal in and around Reno.
Not only are all the cutters in de-
mand. but farmers sleds are max
ing their appearance, while many
quickly %improvised sleighs are max
ing their occupants just as happy as
though they we're hundred-dollar
cutters.
Stock men, sitting about the hotel
Hobbies, discussed the storm. They
say that 1t will not cause any loss of
sheep or cattle because 1t fell dry and
will not coat the hides with ice. On
the other hand, the precipitation in
sures good feed for next year as well
as an abundance of water for irriga-
ton.
The local weather bureau up to
noon today would not venture a fore
east as to the continuance of the
storm. The precipitation for the
storm amounts to 81 of an inch of
melted snow.-Reno Gazette.

residences and one church will be
begun al once. The town now has
a splendid school building. Cement
sidewalks are laid, streets lighted by
electricity, five miles of water mains
laid to the town and one and a half
miles of mains in the town completed
furnishing water sufficient for $500
people. This water is of splendid
quality from a mountain spring flow
ing from a million to a million and a
half gallons per day. 1t is so situat-
ed on a mountain as to furnish
abundance of both power and light.
As soon as the weather will permit in
the spring the company will begin
the paving of the principal streets of
the new town. There are 500 people
here now, and the officers of the com-
pany say that by next July there will
be 1900, and SO far these men have
made things come true.

MISSING MAN IS
IN SAN FRANCISCO

All Partridge, who disappeared sew
eral months ago while he was en-
ployed at the Stage Inn, in Reno has
been located in San Francisco. He
has wandered around considerably
since he left Reno, but is now en-
ployed by Mr.. Dunno in the city. He
claims that he did not know exactly
what he was doing on the night he
disappeared, and when he came to
himself he knew that he had done a
number of things he should not have
done. He accordingly kept on travel
ing and decided not TO communicate
with anybody. He did not know until
a short time ago that friends had

probably remain in San Francisco.

FIRST TRAIN TO NEW
TOWN OF METROPOLIS

A new metropolis has been born.
In a single day this town blossomed
in a rich sagebrush valley in Elko
county and has taken its place on the
railroad map of Nevada. Today the
first passenger train over the new
Southern Pacific branch from Wells
to this town made the maiden trip.
Two hundred people were aboard the
special train and there were many
from as far away as Reno and Salt
Lake City. The magnificent new
brick hotel at Metropolis, costing
800, 900, kept open house with feast
ing and dancing INDUCED in by near
ly 400 people. 1t was a great day for
the Pacific Reclamation company, for
1t marked the success of the efforts
of the men who conceived this great
enterprise which, when finished. will
cost nor than a million dollars.
From miles around the people
gathered. Just before the brilliant
ly lighted dining room was thrown
open to the waiting guests, Editor
Philip S. Tripplett of the Wells Her
aid, acting in his capacity as justice
of the peace, united in marriage two
couples, the first ceremony of the
kind in the new town, Ethel Hanline
to Ira l.. Rigby and Ida L. Clark to
Z. G. Jensen, all residents of Metropo-
lis. Everything is done on a big
scale In Metropolis, even matrimony.
This is a land of promise in the
new Nevada. No prophet is needed
to foretell the future of this wonder
full rich agricultural region.
1t would take too long to tell how
this great private agricultural enter I
prise was conceived less than three
years ago. What has actually been
accomplished is sufficient to recount
h past and foretell the near future.
Metropolis is Is miles by railroad
from Wells and one mile by wagon

laid out at the latter camp, each with

WORK Is DELAYED.

The work of rebuilding the Eureka

by the non-arrival of rails and other

About 100 men and a number of

can be established in the early spring.

As the delegates filed into their

OF the muddle in which the conven-

delegates frankly confessed that they
were finding Chicago too expensive a
place to remain In, and were suggest
ing that possibly the hotel proprietors
might have more to do with the mud
die, than appeared On the surface.
At 1850 William Barnes, IT., and
Colonel Harry 8. New went to the ma
tional committee headquarters to
make last appeal to Chairman De-
vine for action.
The peculiar part OF the situation
was that men who seemingly had the
most at stake, Barnes and the Taft
leaders, we're willing to take chance
and start things going, while Devine
Malby and other organization men in

ed on to help out, were refusing tc

It was recommended that the Taft

the convention was signed by twenty
