SEEK MISSIN6 MAN
IN SNOW NEAR
m PARK. CAL.
An organized search will be be
gun in the next few days in Che
hope of recovering the body ol
Sebastian Schorer, weather bureau
observer at Deer Park, Ca whc
has is believed to have been lust in
the blizzard two weeks ago. Though
the snow in the vicinity is still
more than three feet deep, it is
hoped that the body of the man can
be found by means of coyote tra ks.
In a letter to H. S. Tnle. se-tion
director, in charge of thf Reno
office, Robert Watscn of Tahoecity
offers to take charge of the starcn
for Schorer, who is thought to have
lost his way while attending to his
snowfall gauges. The snow in tl e
Tahoe region does not mHt we ll
until along toward the end of May,
and it will be necessary to depend
on the animal tracks.
Nathan Mcutt has been appointed
observer at Deer Park inp liare of
Schorer who has not been seen since
he started out on his last round of
the guages. ? Reno Gazette.
M. C. SCULLY ESTAIE
APPRAISED AI S1020
An appraisal of the property of
the M. C. Scully estate, fil^d by
Frank Byington, George Hall a'-tl
Ben Frank, places the value of <h3
estate at $1,020. A large number
of mining bhnres in a property near
Fairview were not listed in the
appraisal. Only a small valuation I
is placed 01 the interest in the
Limerick iroperty at Rochester.
Evidently Scully's syrotechnic
efforts to make a mining camp at
Kimberly availed him nothing, so
far as this world's goods are con
cerned. The people of Battle
Mountain and Hill top have sundry
reasons for remembering his ex- 1
ploits and methods of high finance. 1
The Kimberly Consolidated, a
holding company of which the In
dependence and Western cf Phil
adelphia is a subsidary company, is!
gradually rehilitating that camp
and is on the road to success. This
company is mining its claims in
a thorough and practical manner.
They have just completed a tubular
mill of sulfide t capacity to meet
present requirmeuts. Eastern j
shareholders may soon expect sub
stantial dividends as there is ]
enough good ore blocked ojt to |
keep the mill running for several
? ears.
After all the 'Kiting" that has
been done by unscrupulous promo
ters and vexatious lawsuits w iich
have been adjii ted, this company
has been purified in the fires of
adversity and has c >me out with j
b name unsullitcd and a rep it ti < 1
untarnished.
The company is to b ? congratu
lated on the prospects which are
growing brighter each day. A
large force of men are now at
work night and day preparatory to
c inverting hi^h grade into bullion.
Keep you eye-5 open and your ears
