Ninety-Ninc-Year old Miner.

Douglas county can no doubt boast OF
having the oldest active miner in the
world-a man who In a few days VIII be
- years old, blasting, drilling and wheel
ing rock In a l2o-foot tunnel that he has
constructed by his own labor In the past
four years. a short distance above Days
creek, on the south Umpqua river. there
Is a solitary miners cabin close by the
county road. and near by is the cabin in
which William Kerr lives solitary and
alone, but industrious and perfectly con-
tented. He was boru in Pennsylvania ON
August Z, 1901. and will celebrate his gath
birthday in a few days, although he con-
siders himself anything but an old man.
He appears more Ike a we'll preserved
man of so or 20, and is stronger and more
active than most men at that period OF
their lives, The fact that in the four
years since he located mining claim on
the South Umpqua he has driven with
his own labor 10 feet of tunnel through
the rock is sufficient evidence of this fact.
He expects soon TO strike a ledge with a
fortune, when he can retire and enjoy
life in his old age. free from toll and
care, but there are some who say the
