J.R. Alcorn 1939. Ovis. Aug 17 1939. Cleve Cr, 5000ft, White Pine Co., Nevada, said the forest service did not believe any sheep to be in the Mt. Wheeler region. He did say there possibly may [illegible] be some in the Shell Creek range and to see Mr. Alex Kolcheck who lived in [illegible] at the base of the range, we contacted Mr. Kolcheck who said he took Major Goldman who represents some museum into the Shell Cr. range & Major Goldman & party saw about 20 or more head but were unable to kill any although at reasonably close range. This was years ago, he said, and although he had not been into the back country for some years he thought there was a possibility that Mt. Sheep may still be in the area. From his cabin on Cleve Creek he pointed out the country we should go to. So we walked into an isolated spring where we found about a dozen domestic sheep (rams) but no sign of Wild Mt. Sheep.
