Show SEARCHERS IN AIR, ON FOOT SEEK GRAHAM Efforts Redoubled by Western West-ern Air Express Company as Snow Melts from Mountains; Moun-tains; $5000 Reward Offer Chief White Feather arirved in Las Vegas last Saturday to organize or-ganize Indians throughout that region re-gion in an effort to find trace of Maurice Graham, air mail, pilot, who has been missing a month. The old Indian chief declared that his tribesmen throughout the mountainous region between Las Vegas and Salt Lake, where Graham's Gra-ham's plane is believed to have crashed ' during a snowstorm on January 11, will aid in the quest. Chief White Feather, while in Los Angeles, conferred with Western Wes-tern Air Express officials, for whom Graham worked. Pilot Jimmy Jim-my Carson accompanied the chief. Not a trace of the aviator or his plane has been discovered since the night he flew into the storm on his regular mail run. Various clues have given hope to the hundreds of men engaged in the search on the ground and in the air, but none led to the finding of the pilot. A two days' search in the vicinity vicin-ity of Maple mountain near Eureka Eu-reka last week failed to reveal the cause of the strange fire seen by four miners on January 11. A searching party, headed by the sheriff, went carefully over the area, tramping through snow from one to three feet deep. |
