WEEPAH PROVES REAL GOLD
CAMP; OLD TIMES SLOW
TONOPAH, Nev.—Evidence that
Weepah, new gold boom town north
west of here, rests upon a 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 ciaim ,dug his fist
into the earth and puiled out as much
rocky soil as his hand could hold. A
San Francisco newspaper man
crushed it, and it was panned by
Horton. It contained two table
spoonsful of gold.
Thirteen sacks, filled with the re
sult of leisure picking on the claim,
stood nearby. Each contained about
80 pounds .of ore Horton said each
sacK would produce $1,800 worth of
gold.
Weepah. today began to blossom
forth as a real town.. Its first “em
porium” bung ou ta sign reading:
“Water a barrel; gasoline 50
cents a gallon; ham and eggs 80
cents; white mule 50 cents a drink;
chaser free.”
Guv Millard, prospector who saw
GoldfieidLat its height, said after ex
amining the . Horton-Trapper claim
tlrat he had seen rock which was
worth $80,000 to $100,000 a ton.

Printing presses here are working
. day and night printing gold sealed
certificates. New companies are in
corporated by telegraph. The first
company organized worked so fast
that 2o0,000 shares in it had been sold
before announcement of the incor
pora appeared in the newspapers.
Scouts were out today looking for
an architectural nucleus for W'eepah.
They don’t want carpenters, masons,
bricklayers and other building trade
art;snn= Building is too slow in pro
, cess. TJiey want houses already built,
ait; mining them.
Here the procedure is to locate a
small shack, buy it at any price, hoist
it on a big truck and scoot for Wee
pah.

: POLICE DRTVE TWO TO
COVER IN BOMB RAID
SAN FRANCISCO.—A plot to
bomb the Church of St. Peter and St.
Paul was frustrated by the police last

in; his companion
appeared, the police outside the build
j ing appeared to be asleep. Ecklund’s
companion carried the bomb into the
building while he stood guard. The
police waited until the bomber had
' lighted the fuse of his infernal ma
chine and then made the rush for
him. He sprang through the door
and started down the street, and was
shot to death when he failed to heed
the command to halt. Ecklund also
made a break at' the first sign of
trouble, and he. too, was shot, but not
i seriously. While the shooting was
going on, a policeman jerked the fuse
from the bomb, and investigation
disclosed that th einfernal machine
contained twenty-six sticks of dyna
mite, packed in clay.
Ecklund, is hak been learned, was
arrested in Seattle several years ago
as an I. W. W. agitator. The dead
man has been identified by Mrs. Adele
Montroni of Saaramentto a* abarbei
who twice attempted to dynamite her
home.
Ecklund states that he was with the
bomber. He says he went to Tele
graph hill for the purpose of praying
; and it is admitted that he had a Bible
in his possession when shot. The po
lice explain that when he reached for
his Bible they thought he was readi
ng for a gun to stage a running fight
and they opened fire on him. He was
! shot in the leg.
Ecklund has been connected with
other California bombings.
