All that is mortal of Mrs. Sandy
Bowers will be brought up from the

ferred to the Virginia & Truckee Rail.
road. The remains will be tenderiv
borne to the historic place known as
bowers Mansion and will be laid to
everlasting rest beside the one man on
earth this well known and widely as,
teemed woman loved.
In the dim past, when MANY VIII,
will read this article were but Chilli.
rem, the fame of Sandy Bowers was
household word. He acquired a fog
tune on the Comstock, and, unlike ma.
ny others. placed the greatest portion
OF his fortune In the State he had ar.
quired it in.
In beautiful spot in Washoe val.
ley he erected a mansion that has be-
come known almost the world over.
Possessed of a fortune that seemed
almost inexhaustible, money was sper,
with lavish hand. The mansion was
erected in manner never before at.
tempted in modern architecture. The
door knobs, hinges and other essen,i.
ais were made of silver, while the
choicest and most costly flowers
ferns and vines were imported from
the Old Country.
The mansion and grounds at this
time were the most beautiful on the
coast.
Shortly after completing his LIES
dream reverses came to him. and in a
short time he was penniless. Afte,.
trying several times to recover his lost
fortune, he died, and at his own re-
quest, was buried on the hillside i'm
medlately back of the mansion.
Shortly after the demise of her hus-
band, Mrs. Bowers mortgaged the es-
tate for the purpose of making a |
health resort of it. Fortune, however,
'rowned upon her efforts and in a |
short time she found herself adrift in
his busy world without any means Of
land for maintenance. Mrs. Bowers
ook up the calling of a spiritualistic
medium and. she became known as the
'Washoe Seeress." In this calling she
made a precarious living until the
land Of death relieved her Of aul
earthly troubles.
A year or more ago Henry Ritter
the historic mansion and
las restored it to its former splendor.
Upon learning of Mrs. Bowers de-
Mise and knowing that her last re-
uest was to be buried beside her hus-
and. arrangements have been made
