That means = Borate Plane , Crashes Robert Schacht, 34, Grass Valley, received face and head lacerations when he crashlanded his borate plane in the river bed of the Middle Yuba, Monday afternoon about 5 p.m., during fire fighting operations at Weaver Lake. Schacht was on his way to the fire with a load of borate when both motors of his plane conked out. He dumped his load and notified the other planes by radio that he was in difficulty and was hunting ' for a place to set down. The forest service was notified and immediate plans were made for evacuation of the pilot. Dr. B. W. Hummult Nevada City and pilot Ed Beaumont, Stockton, left Loma Rica in a copter to go into the crash area, Fortunately, the copter was able to set down very close to the crashed plane and first aid was given the injured man. He was returned to Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital where he is recovering. This marked the first official use of the landing pad at the hospital, The fire covered ap‘proximately 25 acres of timber and brush, andwas located about 40 miles north east of Nevada City. The cause is believed to be an abandonded camp fire. Fifty fire-fighters; three. dozers and borate planes were used to control the fire. The borate plane lost one wing, thetail assembly and both motors in the crash. $400,000 Bid On Youth Camp Near Nevada City The Division of Architecture last week opened bids in Sacramento for the construction of an 80-man forestry conservation camp seven miles northeast of Nevada City, off State Highway 20.
