Town Of. MARVEL
OFFICIALLY DEAD
DEPUTY SHERIFF TAKES POS
SESSION OF BUILDINGS IN
NEW CAMP.

The inglorious end that has over
taken a multitude of wild cat mining
camp promotions within Nevada is
the portion of Marvel, an over ex-
plotted district east of Fallon in the
Dixie valley, says the Churchill Coun-
ty Standard. OF unholy conception,
both Marvel and the men behind it
have come to grief and with little
formality. Put forward less than a
year ago as a town tributary to Al
ladin's cave; with wide stretches of
rich agricultural land surrounding
the civic center, a bunch of French
men from San Francisco and else
where, thought to lure the gold from
investors back home in Gay Paris.
But alas and alack, it was not to be
so, for the folks back home were wise
in their generation, which is one
more than had been put forward by
Father Time, when these gay pro-
motors left home, with the result that
Marvel is q miserable failure. Coin
cidently, there is a multitude of
tradespeople hereabouts who feel
miffed over the failure-the crouch
varying in size from a few dollars
to a good many.
The curtain was rung down on the
final act of this fiasco, with all of it's
embellishments, including high
powered automobiles, flying ma
chimes and an aerial passenger and
mail service, last Friday when Dep
uty Sheriff C. M. Clark travelled Mar
velward in company with j.. w.
Phelps, I. H. Kent and Harry Robin
son and served the ends of law and
justice by placing an attachment on
the Marvel townsite including hotels,
saloons, general stores, streets and
alleys and the advertised swinging
garden, initiating a fresh Babylonian
of mythology. Not ever the white
elephants in the Marvel city park
were sacred to this minion of the
law. and whatever was lacking to
make Marvel dead has been did"
The last dash vas added to the gen.
eral compost and we are now author
lied to officially that Mar
vel is dead.
To be specific J. w. Phelps on be-
half of himself and others and by
the fundamentally of the deputy
sheriff attached Marvel for about
$500 due from the promoters of the
failure. Whether there still remains
in Marvel materials of a sufficient
value to meet these demands is a
nuostion for Go1dSmith'S deSerted
village had nothing on Marvel.
