AS that dangerous storm period
will cover more time than usual We
have warned all to be. on the alert
from March l6 to the end OF the

yet ready to give the locations oil
these dreaded storms and to de-
scribe them in detail for every 10
cality but the time is not very far
away when this can be accom- :.
p ished completely.
The July storms will be the
greatest, those of March next in
severity those of January we
counted about the same force as
those of March, and those of Feb
ruary we considered the weakest ot
all We expect property and lives
to be destroyed in March and July
by these terrific storms and these
warnings are given with a hope that
property and lives may be saved by
being prepared.
AS a general average, rainfall is
not expected to be great in March
but these severe storms will cause
some heavy local rains and prob
ably in northern sections some
blizzards. Last .haf of March is
expected to be warmer than usual.

A conservative estimate of the
property loss is between 100000
and 100000.
The survivors Of the crew of the
Alum Chine tonight signed sworn
statement in which they declared
that the government laws regarding
tho loading of explosives were car

origin in the bow or the ship caused
the explosion. The men say they
saw the fire before the explosion.

Differs From Survivors.
All accounts with one exception
agree that there was but one explo-

hardt, assistant foreman of the
steyedores, in which he said that a
box that he and another stevedore
carried. exploded when they set 1t
on the floor.
After the explosion he said he and
IL others scrambled out OF the hold
and got onto the deck OF the tug
Atlantic. Bomhardt said that when
they got to the tug they saw smoke

WERE
IN BIG DEMAND
4S YEARS Ago
THIRTY DOLLARS A SACK WAS
PRICE CHARGED IN VIRGINIA
CITY IN 1864

The following little incident in the
potato market at Virginia City near
ly 4S years ago, shows that the po
tato market at the time was o. X.
for the farmer.
On account of frost and drought
the potato crop in Nevada in 1864
was none too large, and to make mat.
tiers worse, the winter of 1864-5 was
very stormy, and there being no rail
roads over the Sierra Nevada noun
tains at that time, made it impossible
to get supplies from California into
Virginia City until late in the spring
Supplies ran very low and the
people of Virginia City were threat.
ened with an epidemic of scurvy
from lack of vegetable food. AS soon
as the ophir grade became passable
for freight, a farmer living near
Whites canyon in Washoe county,
started for Virginia City with four
horse load OF potatoes.
One merchant from Virginia City
met the farmer near Washoe City.
Others met him on the Ophir grade
But the farmer refused to sell, and
by the time he reached the summit
he was followed by a number of
anxious prospective buyers AS he
drove down c street, the procession
increased rapidly and when he stop
ped his team. he heard loud yell
and saw several men in the distance
waving their hats for him to wait
and give them a chance to buy.
The farmer gave the eager buyers
all chance to be present, and then
told them that he had always oppos.
ed monopolies and no man would be
allowed more than one sack of pota-
toes, and the price would be $50 per
sack
The anxious buyers gladly paid the
price, shouldered their potatoes and
went their way rejoicing
