NEW GOLD RUSH
 OUTSIDE WEEPAH
Valuable Ore Found by Indian
 Lure 10 PToSpectors

Tonopah. New, March IS lP, -- Born as the result CT an adventure, the tiny gold city at Weepah. which has lived on nothing but excitement since it's incep.ions twelve days ago fostered another stampede today as news spread that an Indian had
 made q rich strike five miles away.
 Crowds bes!sged printing offices here last night 10 buy location blanks and then hastened for the newest find.
 The Indian, Pine Nut Johnny, a Plute, led party of prospectors to the find late yesterday at Barrel Springs. Twenty claims were staked ou. on the spot after the finders had picked up samples Of ore containing $75 worth Of gold.
 As far as eye can reach from any direction at Weepah the land has been staked out in claims. The new est find therefore comes in the form Of a consolidation rush" for the late arrivals at Weepah.
 Thus far 185 locations at Wee pah have been registered by the Es mera!da county recorder, who has been overloaded with excitement as a result Of the boom. Although To- cators have 90 days 10 record their claims, the papers are pouring into the county office by the basketful. The recordings so far cover 4,G00 acres, reaching ten miles in every direction, with the Horton-Traynor i discovery location as their nucleus. Storm sweeps Town i A high wind yesterday tore down ! everything moveable at Weepah with the exception of two or three shacks. Scores og prospectors went hungry because the gale whisked away tents, gasoline stoves, cooking utensils and everything else in their camps that was not anchored. ! Some Of the belongings were re- trieyed because prospectors had re- { tired wearing their clothes. The storm came just after dawn, i enabling them to start the day with i the proper quota Of excitement. i There were no women or children in | camp at the time.
 1 Signs that Weepah's gold will be mined with electricity, business con- ! ferences, airplanes and other mod ern agencies instead of with the shovel, pan. pick and six gun Of fifty years ago have begun to appear Two aviators from Bishop, Cal, l brought an airplane and selected the most likely looking stretch of desert for q landing field as a center Of ! operations.
