DROPS OUT OF SIGHT.
Vain Search for Sadie Geisermann
Who Disappeared From Seattle.

Where is Miss Sadie Geisermann?
If Miss Geisermann. who lived in
Clay Center several years ago, will
make her whereabouts known she will
be entitled to participate in the dispos-
ing of an estate, the former homestead
of the family. near Clay. Center
For eight years Miss Geisermann. a
beautiful girl, has been lost to her rela-
tives and they are now very anxious to
learn of her whereabouts as land to
which she is heir can not be disposed of
unless she is heard from, if she is
I've. and if she does not show UP or
make her whereabouts known the only
way to secure a title to her share of
he- fathers estate is for steps to be
taken by which she can be declared
dead in a legal sense.
Miss Geisermann was born and rear
ed on a homestead five miles west of
Clay Center and there she spent her
earlier years A sister, Louise, mar
ried and same to Topeka She is
the wife OF B. F. Roberts and
they now live at 112s North Monroe
street, Mr.. Roberts being employed in
the grocery store of William Green.
About the same time Sadie went to St
Louis where she started to learn the
milliner's trade. She remained there
for some time, but about nine years
ago left that city for Seattle Wash.
AS far as is known the young woman
remained in Seattle about a year. Eight
years ago a letter, which was received
by her sister. conveyed the intelligence
that she had become imbued with the
gold seeking fever and was going to
Cape Nome from which point she would
again write. That was the last word
which has ever been received from her
Since that time her whereabouts has
been a matter of mystery and specula-
ton She may be at the present time
in some mining camp in the interior of
Alaska where communication with the
outside world is impossible. or she may
have found the rigorous winters of the
klOndike region too much for her or
perhaps a vessel laden with supplies for
the miners has sunken with its cargo
and consigned her remains to the briny
deep At any rate as far as her rela-
tives are concerned she is dead to the
world but until they can prove or dis
prove this fact the disposal of the
estate in Clay county must be indefi-

MINING NEWS.


 oping group of twenty-five mines on the west slope of the Rincon mountains. At fifty feet in the main shaft a good body of ore has been encountered. A double shift of miners are at work. These mines are ten miles from Vail's Station, which will be their ship ping point.
 Prescott Courier: The same parties who have been unwatering the workings of the Empire mine, on Groom creek, have commenced to unwater the workings of the Alma group. Indications point to renewed activity and heavy mining operations on Groom creek. In fact the mining districts south oi Prescott are all showing unprece- dented activity.
 Miner and Stockman: The Tue son Consolidated Company, which recently purchased the Old Pueblo mines and incorporated two other groups, is completing its buildings on the Old Pueblo properties, five miles west of Tucson. This com pany has a good force of men working on the Purcell group west of the Banner, thirty miles west oi Tucson. This company has $25,- 900 in the development fund, with Col. Pickett, manager.
 Arizona Star: Shipments of ore from the Mineral Hill Consolidated Copper Mining Company's property were renewed last Thursday, with one carload going out to El Paso as heretofore. Three carloads weekly will be the record beginning next week. It is two months since the NJ. H. c. < 0. Company shipped any ore. The trouble has been an over supply of water in the lower levels. The mines are only Is miles southwest of Tucson.
 International American: Attor- ney Johnston and w. J. Mcclure left for Washington, D. C., yester. day after ten days spent in over. looking the San Juan de Baptiste mine in Sonora, near Moctezuma They said before leaving that they carry back to the eastern stockholders of the mine an assur. ance that it is one of the best prop. critics in the district and well worth the investment already made. Ii is probable that more improve. ments will be forthcoming shortly
