Former State Official Dead

A.C. Pratt, at one time Surveyor General of Nevada, Dies at Carson City

A.C. Pratt, formerly state surveyor general, died yesterday afternoon at his
home at Carson City.  He was aged 61 years and came to this state from Texas
when but a small boy.

The deceased is survived by a son and daughter residing at Oakland.
He was one of the state builders, having been connected with a number of mining
enterprises and other industries.  He built the first telegraph line into Bodie
when that camp was a maelstrom of activity.

The Pratt mill, erected on Bald mountain, was operated by him for a number of
years, as well as lead-silver properties in Antelope valley.  Mr. Pratt was of
an inventive turn of mind and a number of his appliances have come into very
general use.  He made his home at Carson City for the greater portion of his life.
