Mining man HERE.

Major A. Linn, former mining
operator of Arizona and who rep
resents Kansas city capital, is
spending the winter months in
town. During the past summer
he has done considerable prospect
ing in Mono county in the neigh
borhood of Fales Hot Springs and
the Walker river canyon and has
located some promising claims on
which his company will expend
a liberal amount of money in de-
velopment work during the COM
ing summer. He is very enthuias-
tic over the mining outlook in that
section and predicts the opening
up number of valuable proper
ties.

STAGE MEN HAVE
ROUGH TRIP

James Kane, proprietor of the
stage line running between this
place and Bridgeport, had an ex-
perience last week that was far
more hazardous than that of the
Pine nut miners. During one the
stormy periods, with his driver
Gus Thomas, and a two horse
team, he left Blackburn's Station
Just before dark and was all night
reaching Fales Hot Springs, dis
tance of three miles. The road is
tortuous and borders the hot spring
creek with many short turns and
dangerous embankements, which
even in the summer requires care
full driving to travel in safety.
Before snow falls every season,
polls eight or ten feet in length ere
set every hundred yards or less to
designate the road, and to these
signals they undoubtedly owe their
escape from being frozen. In
wallowing in the drifts from one
stake to the next, they lost their
bearings and discovered their
position by tossing 4 snow ball in
to the creek to find the direction
of the current. Just at break of
day, exhausted and slightly frost
bitten, they reached Hot Springs
Station, and something warmer
than natures beverage.

David clark
Passes to the
Great Beyond

David Clark, well known min.
ing man who has make his homc
al the East Fork hotel for the pas
year or SO, died sometime during
Saturday night. Thomas Kennedy J
who occupied bed in the sam,
room, retired about ten o'clock a
which time he noticed Mr.. Clarb
was breathing heavily and asked
him if he was sick and if there wa
anything that he could do for him.
Clark answered that he was not
sick and wanted nothing. When
Kennedy awoke in the morning he
discovered that the Angle of Death
had had visited the room and his
friend was cold in death.
Deceased was 81 years of age
and was a native of Ireland. H.
had spent the past twenty years
mining in this section. Deceased
had been in failing health for sew
eral years, and owing to his ad-
vanced years, his sudden end wa
not wholly unexpected.
A coroner's Jury was called and
their verdict was that death was
due to old age.
No relatives of the deceased re-
sided in this country.
The remains were laid to res
in the Garden cemetery Wednes-
day.

The Two
Found Safe
i'm Cabin

The three men, Clarence Dang
ber, Fritz Neddenriep and Lauren
ce Jacobsen, who went to the
Winters mine last Thursday to
ascertain whether or not Chris
Jeppersen and John Reynolds had
reached their destination, found
the two men comfortably housed
in the cabin at the mine with a
good supply of grub and wood on
hand.
Jeppersen and Reynolds state
that the reason they did not re-
turn on the day as named to VIM.
Ritchford at Lone Pine, was that
the wind blew terrific, drifting the
SNOW about in a manner to make
the undertaking dangerous one,
and were waiting favorable day
to return to Gardnerville. They
were much surprised to learn that
anxiety was being felt for their
safety.
The two men experienced con-
sidera BILE difficulty in reaching the
mine on their trip to that place on
the 3lst OF December. All went
well until within about mile from
the cabin, at which time Reynolds
went snow blind. 1t took three
hours to cover that distance and
the greater part of that mile, Rey-
nolds travelled on his knees with
his hands placed on the snow
shoes which he pushed along
through the snow. Jeppersen as
sisted his partner as best he knew
how. As a result from having his
hands in the snow, they were
frozen The right hand is the
worst. However, the attending
physician does not anticipate any
serious result In regard to his ex-
perlence Reynolds says, Had l
not lost my eye sight we would
have experienced no difficulty in
reaching camp, but after becoming
snow blind | WAS all up. The
country was new to me. Jepperssn
knew every inch OF the ground,
however, and | held no fear of not
reaching camp"
During their stay at the mine,
the two men put in their time by
working on the mine.
