Burned Fine Timber.

In company with Jas. d. Jolly and
Earl Taylor, the News editor spent
Sunday in the timber in the Ruby
creek section. From the Silver King
mine north to the summit, millions of
feet of valuable timber has been de-
stroyed by forest fires and just how it
happened was related by Mr.. Jolly
who now smiles as he thinks of the
work he and others did in the days
when white pine was valueless and
the underbrush nuisance to the pros
pector. AS we sat on log to rest in
the upper end Of Brady gulch Mr.
Jolly said: You can bet that l once
saw an awfully hot old blaze right in
this very place. set it myself. At that
time the Ruby creek country was being
prospected and there was about forty
prospectors in the camp. I remember
we held big mass meeting one day
and adopted camp rules which were
to serve as law Then timber was OF
no value, and no one ever suspected
that it ever would be. We were after
mineral and were handicapped by the
heavy underbrush which then, as now,
makes travelling so slow and tedious.
So the miners set out fires along the
ridges they desired to prospect, not
for the pleasure Of seeing the timber
destroyed, but because it was almost
impossible to prospect unless the
ground was first cleared. After a fire
the wind would come and in little
while the bare hills would show, nof
even the ashes being left" And a:
evidence of what he said there stands
in Brady gulch, near its head, hundreds
of dead trees, now snowy white, tai
and grim. the result of mans greco
for gold, all bearing witness of the fac
that in days gone by Ruby creek wa
the scene of mining boom abou
which many OF the old timers of thi
section still tell interesting tales.
