Search Bush For Missing Ottawa Man FLJN FLON, Sept. 5. (CP) The KCMP is directing a search of the Lynn Lake mining area to day for two field rnen.of the International Nickel Com pany reported missing since Saturday, 60 miles north of this mining camp. One of the missing men is Derick Mott, 25-year-old survey or of Ottawa, while the other has been identified as Louis Du bols of Flin Flon. Fear for their safety developed when their canoe was found upturned on a lake.

Father Notified. F. A. Mott, of 173 Faraday, father of the missing Ottawa man, told The Journal be bad received word of his son's disappearance from the International Nickel Company. The report said authorities" believed both men managed to make shore from the waters of the small lake In which the.

upturned canoe was found. Mr. Mott said already there were 20 searchers in the area and he had been notified an RCMP officer was being flown in to conduct the search. It Is thought both men started to hike the 13 miles to their camp once they had reached shore, but because of the heavily wooded area, rough terrain, and bogs it might take them some time. Mr.

Mott was very hopeful he would bear the good news of his son's, safe arrival at camp within a few days. Derick is a science student at McGill University where he is studying for his MA degree this year. He had taken a job with the International Nickel Company for the Summer months and is due to return to Ottawa at the end of this month.
