SKIP KILLS MINE LEASER

J. H. JOBE VICTIM OF ACCIDENT IN THE QUARTETTE MINE AT SEARCHLIGHT

    Wednesday afternoon J. H. JOBE, a leaser in the Quartette Mine at 
Searchlight, was killed by the overturning of a skip in which he was 
riding down the incline shaft.
    The deceased was operating a lease in company with John FUNK and 
Harley HOLMES.  He leaves a wife, a son and a daughter.  The son will be 
remembered by many Vegas people, having been married last summer in this 
city to Miss Pearl WILLIAMS of Searchlight, both young people at that 
time being residents of this town.
    The dead man is quite well known here and was well thought of by all 
who knew him, being a very industrious and sober man, and his untimely 
death is a shock to the entire community.  Much sympathy is felt for the 
bereaved relatives.
