Searching Party Fails to Find Missing John Price
A large search near Price camp in the Gold Hills fails to locate John Price, last seen in early November heading to his mining camp. Sheriff Oscar Allen leads the effort with John Bradford and others, covering a three mile radius as relatives confirm no word. Price, a California transplant and surveyor with 32 mining claims funded by Clara Groendycke, is presumed unlikely to survive the desert and cold. He leaves behind three daughters, two brothers, and two sisters across several states.
