Idaho Statesman - February 3, 1898 MINER FROZEN TO DEATH Untimely End of a Veteran Nevadan Gold Hunter Reno, Nev., Feb. 2. -- C. S. Kellogg, an old resident of Churchill county, aged 76 years, was found frozen to death yesterday a short distance from his cabin in the Silver Hill range of mountains. He had been prospecting on a claim and started home but was overtaken by a snow storm and presumably lost his way.
Kellogg built the first quartz mill ever put up in Gold canon, where Silver City now stands.
Oil has been struck in the new town of Fallon, Churchill county, Nevada. The strike was made on the 13th and promises to create excitement equal to that in California. The strike was made on the property of R.L. Douglas, at a depth of forty feet. [The Logan Republican., May 21, 1904 - Sub. by K.T.] Contributed by Kim Torp.
