MINER RETURNS FROM
PINE CREEK DISTRICT
Reports District Prosperins But
Not Equal TO Southern
Oreson.

Clyde Jeter has returned from the
Pine Creek mining district, where
he has been since in the Summer.
Mr.. Jeter went in with tie first rush
to Pine creek and took up the third
claim in the district and ii is credited
in recent write-up OF the district
in the Lakeview Herald, with being
tine best claim yet discovered. Mr..
Jeter brought back with him some
fine specimens of ore that are well
filed with free gold. He also brought
some fine specimens of copper ore
that was found in that district,
Mr.. Jeter says that W, l. Fleok and
d. V. Snowgoose, who went to Pine
Greek early in the fall, have taken
some coed claims and they are also
doing good business in mine survey.
ing and assaying.
The Pine Greek district lies
south Of Lakeview and is in three
states. being at the point where Ore
gon, Nevada and California Join. 1t
has some of the earmarks of becoming
good mining district and it has the
chief essential requisite from a
miners view for experiencing a big
rush and that is the difficulty in
reaching it and the high prices Tor all
supplies. We're 1t as accessible
as the mining districts of Southern
Oregon the expected big rush of next
Spring would never take place The
highest assays of ore from the Pine
creek mines as published in the Lake
view papers, do not show values
equal to that Of car load Of ore
that was taken from the Grouse
Mountain mine in the Mt. Baldy dis
triot, and shipped last week from
Grants Pass to the Tacoma smelter,
yet the taking Of this car load of
high grade ere from a mine that can
be reached in 40 minutes drive in a
buggy from TINS CITY makes no SUI
in the mining world, for such ore is
so common in Southern Oregon as ia
be not out of the ordinary. II South
ern Oregon was only reached by CROSS
ing desert, alkali water luxury,
bacon 80 cents a pound, and all liv'
ing expenses more than poor mau
could pay, there might be an expecta
tion that there would be a big rusf
here next spring, but as it is this dis
trict will move forward in its steady,
conservative development thougl
longer attaining it will be far riohel
than Tonapah or the other best dis
tricts Of Nevada.

Successful Entertainment

Editor Courier-The entertainment
given at the Wilderville schoolhouse
on Saturday evening, December 2. by
the school children, was truly sue.
cess both intellectually and sooi lily.
The program was good one, consist
ing of reoitations, dialogues and
tableaus, interspersed with music
and was executed almost to perfec-
tion. Each exercise indicated good
Judgment and careful training on the
part of the teacher and rare ability
and energy on the part Of the pupils
GOOD order, strict attention and per.
feet harmony seemed to prevail during
the entertainment. And we believe
everyone went away benefited AZ
well as entertained. We heartily con
gratulate the good people of Wilder
willie in securing the services of such a
teacher as Miss Floss, and hope all
their efforts in the the future may
be crowned with success.

with Ashland High School resulted in
a victory for the Grants Pass High
School in score Of l2 to O. This
closes very successful season; Med
ford. Ashland Normal. Roseburg and
Ashland High Schools having in turn

The school has contracted with the

MINER SPENDS WINTER
ALONE IN MOUNTAINS
This Kind of Hermit Life Is Not
New TO Southern Ore
son Miners.

John Sanger arrived back Sunday
from an extended trip to Nevada
and the Pine creek mining district
that lies in Nevada, California and
Oregon at the point where the three
states join. Mr.. Sanger was late in
getting there this fall, and as the
elevation is from 5000 to 5000 feet
feet there was so much snow on the
ground that he could not successfully
prospect. He looked over the country
some, but did not locate claim. He
thinks though that it will become a
good mining district. But for the
present it is not good place for a
poor man.
Mr.. Sanger has some half dozen
fine copper claims on the bead of the
left fork of Illinois river, in the Pres
ton Peak district, on which he has
done considerable development work
within the last five years. These
claims are in the same district as
the Takilma aud are about II miles
south of that smelter. On Mr..
Sanger's claims the deposits of cop
per are immense and he has been
able to trace the veins for several
thousand feet over the country and
they have widths of 400 to 1900 feet.
Mr.. Sanger expects to leave the
last of this week for his claims. He
goes to Waldo by stage and thence by
wagon for six miles up the Illinois
valley aud then by trail on up the val
ley to his destination. He has a
comfortable house and all the COM
forts that a bachelors cabin in a
mountain fastness can have. He will
have packed in by horse provisions
and supplies sufficient to last him
until Spring He will have some snow
to go through to reach his cabin and
so soon as the Winter SHOWS come he
will be prisoner until the snow goes
off in the spring. He will not al
together be a prisoner, for he is as
expert as Norwegian on skees, and
when he gets too lonesome he will
take trip over the snow to visit
his nearest neighbor, nine miles dis
tant, down in the lower valley of
the Illinois. Mr.. Sanger will be en-
tirely by himself, but this will not be
the first time that he has spent the
Winter alone in the Siskiyou noun
tains II he should get sick, or hurt
there would be help to be had, but
he takes those chances as does many
other miners who spend the Win
ter in the mountains developing their
claims. Their work is all under
ground and their cabin is usually
near the mouth of their trnnel,
30 the Winter storms bring them no
discomfort.
Mr.. Sanger states that John Reeves,
his nearest neighbor, ~ miles dis
tant, is now in Nevada and will not
spend the Winter at the the Ivan
paugh Peak copper mine, which lie is
developing in partnership with O..
l.. Mangum of Grants Pass. The last
Mr.. Sanger heard of Mr.. Reeves he
had left Tonapah, on account of the
epidemic of sickness that prevailed
in that camp and had gone to some
of the other mining districts in Ne
vada. He expects to return early in
the Spring and resume development
on his claims, which are among the
biggest and richest copper mines in
the Siskiyou mountains.

PRESIDENTS BIG HUNT
HAS SHOT LARGE BLACK BEAR
Hunters Have Enjoyed Fine Weather
Roosevelt is Up Early and
Prefers Plain Fare.

Denver, April ia Republican spe-
cial from GlenwooS Springs last night
says:
Elmer Chapman. courier from the
President's camp, arrived here thist
evening. He reported everybody we'll.
at Camp Roosevelt and having q fine
time.
Early Monday afternoon the dogs
tracked big black male bear He was
SO large that he would not tree, but
made walking bay, killing one dog
and crippling and wounding half a
dozen others. By hard scrambling up.
the mountain side the President got
near enough to shoot him. Chapman
brought the hide to Glenwood and left
1t with local taxidermist to be
mounted. 1t is reported to be a fine
specimen.
Monday, DR.. Lambert shot a bobcat.
which was also brought here for
mounting.
The weather in camp has been fine.
with the exception of Sunday, when
there was some snow and rain. Secre-
tary Loeb will return with Chapmon to
the camp tomorrow morning, and will
remain over night, taking with him a
number of papers for the Presidents
signature or attention.
Chapman is the first courier to bring
any news whatever from the camp, and
his visit here this evening was vel
coined by the secretary and his force,
as well as the newspaper representa-
tives, who. up to the time of his COM.
Ing, have been unable to get any infor-
nation from the camp.
According to Chapman, the Presi-
dent is taking the true sportsman's de-
lttVh tI,.,y. s,f
is one of the first to be stirring in the
morning and always the first to sit
down to breakfast. The fare seems to
suit him, although he has said several
times he would be as well pleased II It
were less pretentious.
His Idea OF camp life is one kind OF
meat at each meal, and that fried.
vegetables of the canned variety, cof-
fee made over an open fire and the
smell of smoke in everything that is
cooked.
Things are different at Camp Roose-
welt, as the boys have dubbed the out
fit on the Charles Penny ranch. But
the President has been warned the
chef may not be able to do such good
work after the camp is moved and that
the party may get enough canned stuff
to please even the President.
The big white horse which the Pres
ident rode out of New Castle Saturday
is his favorite of the three taken along
for his personal use. 1t is not fast, but
is strong, and the trail is never so
stony but the President and his steed
cover it If any horse can get through.
