Tonopah, Nov.. March 15. A C0
mile gale, accompanied by hail and
snow, tore down Weepah's "tent
city" Monday. Everything moveable
went down the canyon in a wild
swirl of tin pans, tin camp stoves
gasoline cans and canvas housing.
The storm swept over the camp
from the direction of the Silver Peak
mountains. As the gale struck t lie
tent city, dwellers there awoke sud
denly to find their homes being lift
ed bodily from over their beds.
The time-honored custom ci going
to bed fully clad prevented addition
al hardship, for the prospectors were
in condition to grapple with the
storm as soon as they awoke. They
made a mad scramble to save a3 much
as possible from their belongings. ,
Many found refuge in the camp
of Judge J. A. Houlahan, where
there are four houses of substan
tial construc tion, and a cyclone 'cel
lar extending eight feet under ground
with a well-rounded roof of cement
ed rocks.
