1900 ACRES BURN
AT ANDERSON CREEK

The Medford Mail Tribune states
that reports received by Hugh Ran
kin, federal forest supervisor were
to the effect that the big forest fire
which started Monday afternoon at
the Saltzing saw mill slashing at
Anderson creek is apparently under
control and will remain so unless a
wind arisesf and spreads II again,
The reports received estimate that
the fire has burned over territory of
from 1900 to 1900 acres, much of It
in big timber.
Only the fact that the wind shifted
saved the SantziA mill, whose owner
resides in Medford. The fire start
ed from a spark from the donkey en-
gine landing in a pile Of shayings in
the slashing about a fourth of a
mile up the mountain from the mill
and spread rapidly in all directions
except downward, and then began
to course downward toward the mill,
whose employees fought 1t back as
best they could when the winds
shifting finally saved the structure.
The donkey engine was also saved.
A rather remarkable feature OF
this fire, and one of which Super.
visor Rankin ig proud is that within
a half hour from the time the fire
started five lookout stations OF the
federal forestry service, scattered
over a wide territory ranging from
6 to 40 miles distant, reported the
fire at the forestry headquarters in
Medford, each giving approximately
the exact location. These lookout
stations were the Windy Pass, Wag-
ner Butte, Tallow Box. Yellow Jack
ct and Brushy Mountain stations.
the last named being 40 miles dis
tont.
