INVESTIGATE MOTIVES
OF MINING CLAIM FILERS
Tourist Travel Thought to Be
Object of Would Be Settlers

An investigation into the motives Of
would be settlers on lands in the Pin
nacle national monument reserve Is
being conducted by Coert du Bots. as
sistant district forester. who left the
local office yesterday for Salinas, which
will be his headquarters during the
investigation.
Preliminary filings on the land have
been made under the Geyser mining
act, but 1t is thought that the future
value of the location as q tourist re-
sort was the real attraction for the
supposed miners.
The Pinnacle national monument re-
serve has been deemed by many to be
the most beautiful of the natural won
ders in this state. and it is expected
that in the near future tourists will
flock to the spot. If it is found that
hlers, patents to the land will be de-
MED them.
