Of Local Interest

The body of m unknown man was found Wednesday on the beach of Shoup glacier bay ay w. E.. Brennan. Mir. Brennan was camped on the shore of the bay and while going along in a small boat saw the body of a mau lying on tile rocks. As the tide was low he de terFed examining the corpse until the next morning, but when he re- turned nothing could be found of the body.
 The corpse was dressed in a dark suit of clothes, still had it's shoes on and was lying face down on the rocks. The head was par tlally covered with. kelp and sand. The body undoubtedly went out through the narrows that night on the extreme high tide, as no trace of 1t could be seen along the shores of the bay.
 Nothing can be learned here of any missing man, so the body must have been that of some stran- ger who was drowned near town and carried into Shoup bay by the wind of the past week.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
GIVE UP LAND

According to the Reno Gazette the
report is current that the Southern
Pacific company contemplates deciding
back to the government all the mineral
land upon which It secured patents
several years ago and which is nov
involved in litigation, the mining men
of that section having entered it under
the mineral laws, claiming the rail-
roads title to be invalid. The rumor
is persistent and as the story goes, the
principal officials Of the company says
they are not willing for known mineral
lands to be seized by its land agents
upon false representations. Several
years ago the company secured patents
for thousands Of acres of mineral lane
in Humboldt and Washoe counties anC
suits have been brought to determine
its right of possession. 1t is ALLEGED
that the patents were illegally granted
to the railroad company, it being wei
known that the lands contained valua
BILE deposits.
