THE BIC STORM Of 26:
YEARS AGO

The storm that prevails in this sec
ton at the present time has been so
lilened by the old-tim ers to the one
that held Carson in its grip twenty
six years ago that yesterday the his
torian of the Appeal. believing the
story would be OF interest to all, got
busy and dug up copies OF the Appeal
that were published through the
month OF january, 1890, and summar-
ized alt items that were published re-
garding that storm. The conclusions
deducted make it apparent that the
present storm is not SO general as
was the one of that date, in that it
was the one OF that date. About
teresting and taken chronologically is
'allen the present period than i'll the
former one. but there has been the
absence of both the wind and sold
that caused the hardships at that
time. The effects OF the Storm then
were probably greater than they
cou'd be today, though the precipita-
ton were equal. because there were
not then. as there are today, the ap-
pliances and methods to fight and
protect one from the elements.
But the story OF that storm is in
tcrcsting and taken chrOnOlOgically IS
as follows:
January 2.-Sndw fell for twenty
four hours at the rate OF an inch an
hour; At Cisco railroad shed buried n
snow; twelve feet OF snow at Emf
grant Gap
January 6.-Coldest weather ever

tinental road was completed.
January 15.-AIail train and local
arrive $50 p. m. brought in by three
engines headed by snow plow: left
Carson for Virginia City with five en-
9ines and snow plow: did not return,
so it may not have reached Virginia

TREADWELL BLAZE
 CAUSES EXCITEMENT
 AS TO ITS LOCATION

TREADWELL. Sept. 20. - A fire which started from unknown origin on the big 1O-inch steam pipe re- gently constructed over the trestle by the 300 mill, caused more ex. citement than damage when the fire alarm was turned in shortly after
 1:l5 o'clock last night and the various departments were for several minutes unable to detect the where abouts of the blaze.
 Although the origin of the fire is unknown t is generally believed that it started from the superheated steam in the pipes which reaches temperature Of about 15O degrees. The steam pipe is similar to wa ter pipe. being lined with tin inside and covered with tor on the outside.
 After some difficulty tNe depart ment succeeded in putting out the fire which blazed up in places along the pipe line both. above and below the original blaze Chemicals were used most successfully.
