Weed had arrived about a week before the Clemens family arrived, andperhaps he took his shots a few days later, as is suggested by hisstagecoach signifying "CARSON CITY 186." When Mark Twain called uponWeed on the morning of his arrival in Nevada on August 19, he noted thatno one was at the Carson City post office that morning, apparently becausethey hadn't yet arrived in town yet from Virginia City. The stagecoach themost likely drove by Fox's and slowed to a halt in front of Weed'sbuilding. A metal plate on the building's addresses states,"This is the Only Corner of the World" (Palmquist Points 27), casting asummery insight into the close relationship between the two businesses.As Twain remarks, Weed's sign ``never went inside the Post Office... [(and)for nearly as long as I have known the place, it was the only sign of any kind I eversaw there. It is a very modest undertaking on its owner's part, and it is a toogood sign for him, with its modest size, its simple, homely fare, and its steady, steady patient oafshowered in bad weather every day alike, standing at the same spot through years and years,TIME and tide have nothing to do with it; that faithful, patient, notoverworked oaf, who has stood there all the while the street cars, drays, and draysons have come and gone, and the wharves have emptied and refilled, and the volcanoes have exploded--``(RI100).
"When I was there last, in 1862, it seemed as if it must be years since theeye of the world had been turned upon it. It was only four months after Ihad gone there, in June of that year, that the Carson City stage firstappeared upon its threshold. That was my first sight of Carson City, and Iwas so enchanted with it that I decided to sell all my other farms andmy household goods, and take a third of a million of the very lightest moneythat was ever coined, and put it into Carson City. My partner was greatlydisposed to remark upon the world being interested in Carson City,'' saysTwain. d2c66b5586
