WEEPAH PROVES REAL GOLD
 CAMP; OLD TIMES SLOW

TONOPAH, Nev.-Evidence that Weepah, new gold boom town north west of here, rests upon golden foundation was plentiful here today after its discoverers had given dem- onstrations to skeptical arrivals.
 While hundreds of persons looked on an Oakland newspaper reporter, guided by Frank Horton, owner of Weepah's principal claim dug his fist into the earth and pulled out as much rocky soil as his hand could hold. A San Francisco newspaper man crushed it, and it was banned by Horton. It contained two table spoonsful of gold.
 Thirteen sacks, filled with the re- suit of leisure picking on the claim, stood nearby. Each contained about .. so pounds. of ore. Horton said each SACK would produce $1,800 worth of gold.
