Sam Clawson, old time prospec-
tor in Jackson county, who came
into this country first in 1856 and
discovered many of the best known
mining claims in the Jacksonville
district, has returned to this vicinity
and is planning on purchasing prop
erty here and ending his days in
Ashland.
Mr.. Clawson has many interesting
tales to tell of old times in this
section, especially of the days when
the Modoc Indians were on the war
path, when he made numerous trips
into the lava beds. accompanying
Lieutenant Sheridan's troops on one
occasion when four of the men were
murdered in their blankest as they
slept. This was the starting point of
the so-called klamath Indian war,
which was but of short duration.
For the past several years Mr..
Clawson has been prospecting in Sis
kiyou county, California, where he
located a number of promising claims.
He also has a stock ranch on the
klamath river
Some months ago he became af-
flicted with rheumatism which
crippled him so badly that he was
unable to walk. At that time he
came to Ashland and took four sui
phur baths and a course of lithia wa
ter, which put him in such good con-
dition that he was able to return to
work.
It was this visit and the favorable
of his son, Alfred "Sambo"
Clawson, an S. P. engineer, which
induced him to decide to make his
final home here.
He had in the olden days many
friends in this section and in the
Jacksonville vicinity, whom he is
now unable to locate and with whom
he is anxious to again get in touch
Accompany Mr. Clawson is George

known throughout the country as the

he didn't intend to have all that

Medford held on their own three

stone-wall stuff.
Ashland's score came as the re-

bucks to keep the Medford defense

to help along.

Sans Valley Man
Hits Coal in Well

GOLD HILL. E. Edmiston, res
ident of Sans Valley for about a
year, formerly from Los Angeles, in
digging a well recently, uncovered a
vein of coal of splendid quality and
vast quantity, that promises to turn
out to be as good a coal proposition
as any on the coast if developed.
Six feet below the surface of the
ground coal was encountered and
digging 20 feet further the vein was
passed. Whether recurrence OF
coal would show at a lower level is
not known as water was found in
sufficient quantity below the top
vein and the well was completed.
This 20 foot vein bares coal that
burns well in any stove and is being
used in forge for welding, with
good results. Mr.. Edmiston is well
pleased with his find, but does not
know what he will do about the
coal proposition.
Some little time past H. Van Ho-
venburg dug a well and took out
large amount of splendid coal, some
of which was brought to Gold Hill
and burned by local people with good
results.
Coal has been mined on the old
Ward place for several years without
great effort and good product Sc
cured.
A large abundance of coal is evi-
dent on the Curtice Miller property
but Miller does not want his property
dug up in development. thus running
its agricultural value, without sell
ing outright
These evidences Of coal, running
in what is thought to be a solid
strata over this part of the valley
point very forcfully to future devel-
opment of valuable coal production.
The quality of the coal has not been
tested, but simple tests at home show
that it certainly will burn and pro-
duce plenty of heat without too much
ash. Some outcrop of coal here
abouts seen to indicate too much
shale, but it has been discovered that
these are from higher strata, the
lower strata running more to clean
coal and in larger quantities.

to lands which were claimed by the
several Indian tribes under aborig-
inal occupancy. The one exception
to this seems to be the case of the
Wichita Indians
I'm 1918, certain chiefs and war
riors of the Quapaw tribe, in council
at st. Louis with United States COM
missioners, entered into treaty by
the terms of which they ceded all
the lands in Oklahoma and Texas be-
tween the Arkansas and Canadian
rivers on the north and Red river on
the south to the government. The
fact that the Quapaws lived In Ar
kansas and had never exercised anv
ownership over lands within 200
miles of the region occupied by the
Wichitas did not seem to have enter
ed the consideration at all. Yet.
with this as a basis the government
granted these lands to the Choctaws
two years later More than 30 years
elapsed before the Wichitas knew
their country had been sold.
Later the Chickasaws purchased
an interest in the lands granted the
ChOctaws. Some of the land was
later leased to the government for
the purpose of locating tribes OF the
great plains, Two bands OF the
Wichitas lived south OF the Red
river in Texas.
I'm 1858 the main village or set
tlement of the Wichita tribe was To-
Gated near Rush Springs. In the
autumn band of Comanches came
to feast on the farm products which
the Wichitas had raised While the
Comanches were encamped there

ed them and many were killed in the
battle that followed. The Comanches
accused the Wichitas of betraying
them. To escape dire consequences
the Wichitas abandoned their fields
and ungathered crops and fled to
Fort Arbuckle for protection,
after the Civil War they went
north into Kansas and settled tenn
porarily at the mouth of the little
Arkansas on the site of the present
city of Wichita, Kansas.

these tribes had left their homes,
