LEE ESTATE settlement.
Eccentric Character Who Left Fortune in
nevada and California.

Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the settlement of the estate ol
John Lee, of Wadsworth, by many
Carson City people who knew the mer-
chant pioneer, says the Carson City
News.
1t has been authoritatively stated that
the estate amounts to $250,000 cash in
San Francisco and SAC, 900 cash in Reno,
besides his Wadsworth property and
considerable real estate. He was a
member of the great firm of Murphy
Grant & Co., of San Francisco.
In the early days OF California when
Murphy, Grant and Lee were among
the gold hunters on the Yuba river,
they became acquainted. and when
Murphy and Grant sought to engage in
business in San Francisco it was prin-
cipally Lees money that enabled them
to do so. During all these years the
three men were close friends, and the
only wish Lee was known ever to ex-
press concerning the disposition of his
body was that it should lie beside his
old friend, Murphy. Together MUIR
ply and Lee attended the Paris exposi-
ton. While abroad Lee met his neph-
ew, Boyd, the only relative known to
be living. Upon his return he spoke
to friends as though Boyd would get
only a small share OF the estate.
For as many as fourteen years before
his death Lee was tenderly nursed and
cared for by Wadsworth lady, who
lived mostly at the house and presided
as the housekeeper. For half an hour
before his death Lee tried to talk, and
1t was plain that he wished to say
something about his patient, silent
minister to his last wants but death
cut him off before he could make known
what he wished to say, and the woman
was left unprovided for. 1t would seem
unmerciful II some provision were not
made by the administrators for her.
Lees life was unusual. To be the
possessor Of almost half a million OF
wealth and still remain with little
trading store in a little town, cut of
like Wadsworth, seems altogether un.
usual. No doubt, however, Lees great
est comfort was the presence of the old
familiar place and the companionshiT
of the old life long friends. In remote
pioneer days, after he had come to Ne.
vada, Lee kept trading store in Glen.
dale and when the old English mill neal
Reno closed down Lee went to Wads
worth, where he spent the remainder O.
his days.

New Bishop TO Be Consecrated

Rev. Henry Douglass Robinson, D.
D., to be missionary bishop OF Nevada,
is to be consecrated at Racine, Wis, ,on
March %, the Feast of the Annuncia.
ton, says the Humboldt Star
The selection of Rev. DR.. Robinson
as bishop of the reorganized district of
Nevada was announced some time ago.
Since then there has been consider
able speculation as to when he would
arrive in Nevada, and it is yet not
known when the bishop will arrive.
The salary attached to the position is
$1,000 per year.
The diosese of Nevada was established
in 1862 1t was in charge of Bishop o.
w. Whitaker until 1886, when he was
transferred to Pennsylvania. Then the
diocese was divided onc-half of Nevada
being assigned to the bishop of Utah
at Salt Lake City, and the western hall
going to the bishop of California, with
headquarters at Sacramento.
Since that time the members of the
church in the state have sought to have
the district re-established. The claim
was made that, naturally in the distri-
button OF the benefits of each diocese
Utah and California profted at the ex.
pense OF Nevada. The agitation con.
tinued until the plea Of Episcotalian,
in the State was needed.

FEDERAL SURVEY WILL STAND
Uuiied States Suueysr-CeneraI will Establish
County Boundary Line.

At last the mooted question "Ii
Rawhide in Esmeralda or Churchill
country" is to be settled says the
Fairview News. United States Sur
veyor General Kyle has taken the mat
ter in hand, and under his direction a
survey of this part OF the state is about
to be made. The survey is, primarily
for the purpose of establishing the ex-
act location of this mining district, and
thereby facilitating patent surveys on
mining claims, but at the same time ii
will definitely decide the location oil
the world-beating gold camp, and end
the controversy which exists between
Esmeralda and Churchill counties
From the lines established under Mr..
Kyle's direction there will be no appeal
and the judgement of his deputies will
finally determine the location OF this
camp.
Deputy Mineral Surveyor I. K. Ste
wart, formerly county surveyor of
Washoe county, has been. assigned by
Mr.. Kyle to run lines that will decide
the location of Rawhide. This survey
is to be started within the next few
days, and it has been announced that
Mr.. Stewart will go far enough back,
in the tracing of corners, to leave no
doubt whatever of the precision of the
lines to be run The Oldest surveys on
record, which establish the original
corners of Esmeralda, Nye and Chnrc-
hill counties will be followed, and
these will be verified by the marks then
set. From this basis, Mr.. Stewart will
run the lines which will settle the con-
troversy. Examination of the official
United States surveys discloses the fact
fact that, as nearly as can be approx
mated, Rawhide lies in a part of the
public dominion which has never been
surveyed by the agents of the. federal
government. 1t is ON this ground that
Mr.. Kyle has interyened. As the sur
vey made under his direction will be
final, the threatened danger of a pro-
tracted litigation between Churchill and
Esmeralda counties over the possession
OF the new camp.will be averted.

SUIT OVER RAWHIOE LEASE
J. ". Danslson Sues TO Recover 0ne-naf Inter-
est in Property Under Grub Stake Agreement.

A suit involving the title and owner
ship to one of the finest leases in the
new and wonderful camp of Rawhide
was filed in the district court of Washoe
county last week. The action was
brought by j. w. Danielson against J..
d. Murry, the Rawhide Mining and
Reduction Company and the Nixon
National Bank.
The property involved is what is
known as the Murray lease on the Bald
Hornet Fraction claim which was re-
Gently sold to the Rawhide Mining and
Reduction Company for considera tion
of ten thousand dollars and a large
block OF stock.
1t is one of the shipping properties OF
the camp and the ore is extremely rich
in high grade gold ore.
Danielson alleges in complaint that
himself and W. Tregaskis entered into
a grub stake agreement with J. d.
Murray in September of last year,
HhNAtOy bhtt WIZ W 5laiC NJuuilg
all locations or leases made or secured
by Murray at Rawhide. He alleges that
since that time he has acquired all the
shares in the transactions made by
Murray which Tregaskis owned and by
virtue of the agreement made by the
three men. He further states that
Murray acquired the lease on the Bald
Hornet Fraction and subsequently sold
it for ten thousand dollars to the Raw
hide Mining and Reduction Company
that company depositing the money to
the credit of Murry in the Nixon Ma
tional Bank, Fifteen hundred dollars
OF the purchase price had already been
paid to Murray and $500 deposited to
his credit In the bank, which latter
amount Mr. Danielson attached.
Danielson asks the court to award him
one-half OF the money received by
Murray for the lease and to be given
a one-half interest in all the locations
and requirements of Murry since the
grub stake agreement was made.
The law firm of Cheney, Massey,
Price and French are looking after Mr..
Danielson's interests.

HOME Of FAST HORSES.
Bud" kinksad Will Establish thoroughbred
Horse Ranch South Of faIlon.

The fame OF Nevada as birth place
for noted horses is again to be revived.
Not since the days when Theodore Win
ters bred and campaigned snch famous
race horses as El Rio Rey, Yo Tambien,
The Car and Don Jose has Nevada
held conspicuous place in the minds OF
the lovers of thoroughbred horseflesh.
Now comes Bud Kinkead, a son Of
Ex-Governor Kinkead, who is going to
demonstrate what can be done in this
section, the most ideal in all Nevada, in
this line.
Mr.. Kinkead has purchased 100
acre ranch, three miles south of Fallon,
which will be given over exclusively to
the breeding of thoroughbred horses.
This week a lot of ten thoroughbred
brood mares were received at the ranch.
These mares are from the famous Burns
4 Waterhouse stock farm near Hopland.
Cal. They are all in foal by the noted
sires Eddie Jones and Altamax, the
latter stallion being valued at csc, 900.
At the head OF his stud Mr.. Kinkea d
will have the thoroughbred stallion Yo
El Rey, from the Fair ranch in Califor.
mia, for which animalthe sum of $27 ,000
was paid.
With this array OF equine talent it il
safe to predict that this stock farm will
shed luster on the States fame as a
breeding place as bright as in the days
when Theodore Winters string of fast
ones was on the tongue OF every race
goer from Monmouth Park to the Cali
fornia Jockey Clubs course.
