Governor Boyle accepted a mountain lion skin yesterday afternoon presented by BE R Sans chief of the biological survey active in Nevada to exterminate noxious animals. The Carson Appeal notes the lion came from the rugged Nevada region as part of the survey’s wildlife program.
The skin was taken near Belmont Nye County on January 22 1917 by survey members. Government regulations sent it to Washington where Mr Sans bought it at public auction and had it sent to St Louis to be tanned before reaching this city. The skin is tawny brown and soft as seal and the animal stood about six feet high in life, posing an obstruction on the trail if encountered.
Dead snake found in Bone ranch well linked to horse deaths as water supply contamination suspected. Notices include a Nevada irrigation permit proceeding by S B Bieroth from Rowland Elko and a lengthy delinquent tax sale listing properties in Elko County with seven to ten year notes and lot descriptions.
