Wells of Portland Is Examining Mining Prospects ran McAllen Writes of the Pains and Pleasures of Camp Life. RLUE RIVER, Or., July 20. (Spe cial.) New life .has taken posses slnn nf th Rlne .River mining district. F. E. Litzenberg. an expert enced mining man from Colorado, has Instilled a spirit of activity Into the entire mining region. A. S. Wells, of Portland, an experienced mining engi neer and chemist, is on the ground examining mining properties and mak ing tests of ores from several mines. Transportation . facilities are sadly needed. Blue River mines are almost inaccessible. It costs $28 a ton .from Blue River City to Springfield,- the nearest railroad point. Add to that So a ton from the mines, then- rail to Tacoma and smelter charges. All this has discouraged the mining industry and retarded development. A railroad Is in contemplation from Eugene. When that time comes the Blue River group of mines and Incl dentally the fertile lands along the McKenzie River will boom, just" now fishermen, tourists and some invalids are taxing: the capacity of stages and automobiles seeking pleasure, rest and relief. There are ample, accommoaa tions at Foley, Belknap Springs and McKensle Bridge. A modern hotel has been erected at Blue River City. In fact accommodations for man, beast and auto are found all along the line. Camp la Cosmopolitan. Here are to be found men from all walks in life. The professions, Army and Kavv and the farm furnish recruits Of course every mining camp has its character and Blue River is no excep tion. The name of the butt of many jokes "Sick" does not imply that his nhvslcal condition is such for Mr. sick, nicknamed "Shorty" Is a pretty lively fellow, always ready for a parade. Then there is Jack- Evans, at one time a dry goods man and buyer for some laree houses and a crack short stop and baseball catcher. He is in his element when ho dons his overalls. It would send a thrill of pleasure running up your spine to hear Mr. Evans whistle his favorite opera. ' Rev. W. B. Headlee Is here and on the Job as engineer and fireman . at one of the mines. Mr. Headlee is a Methodist minister. For years he fol lowed his calling In Indian Territory but found remuneration not sufficient one year only $5. He decided to come to Oregon and take up a timber claim. The timber claim is worth 110,000. Alex Booth, a well-informed mining man.- is a firm -believer in the Blue River district. Incidentally it may be stated that Mr. Booth is interested here. "Bill" Bailey Is a strapping six footer. He Is an Oregon product, son of Smith Bailey, of trotting horse fame, a pioneer and reared on a farm but he prospected with the result that he lo cated a valuable claim and Is holding on to it. But it's the old story, lack of funds to develop the property. Colonel "BiU" Nesmith, is a pioneer and the son of a pioneer, : He is the life and soul of the community. r& a certain extent camp life would Be mo notonous were It not for "Bill. "Shorty" is at his old game, playing the phonograph., It is interesting to wntr.h him with the nuttv Pipe In one 3ide of his mouth, smoking and at ,the same time whistling the tune oemg playe -by the phonograph. "Shorty" scored in the German navy, afterward following sailoring. he visited many foreign countries. It Is interesting to listen to him telling some of his ups and downs. . - Cook Is "DoDdy." ' , The cook In this camp, a Mrs. Barker Is a good one. This is not Mrs. Bar ker's first experience In a mining camp for she acted in a similar ; capacity in mines in Colorado, Mexico- and Mon tana. ! She knows how to - set to the heart of the miner and she certainly does It. The miner Is willing to pay for the bestr no chep picnic ham foi him. Nothing short of a prime MeKen rie River beef, the best ham and bacon, and vegetables in season. City folks may consider Ice cream a luxury, not so here. We have Ice cream frequently. Where and how do we 'get it? With out very much trouble I assure you.' With ice and snow within a few hun dred feet of here, milk. eggs, fresh from the ranch and sugar and an ice cream freezer, then a simple turn of the wrist, and there is your ice cream, pure and wholesome, free from the eye of the pure food Inspector. Now what do you think of life In tha wilds, almost at the summit of the Cas- . cade range of mountains? However, I long for the beach, the surf bathin and a river trip on the Hassalo. There Is one grand feature about this place and something that B. Lee Paget will no doubt approve of. There is no booze allowed and the nearest boozo point is Springfield. SO miles from here. It was said that bootlegging was car. rled on and that moonshine was being manufactured for the purpose of de stroying squirrels-and cougars but all such talk was exploded when an army of deputies from the revenue office at Portland made a tour of intpection and found no evidence to warrant such statements. Yes. the party found an old still In a dry river bed with the name of an English firm and date 1804! It Is presumed that the still was used by the early English settlers for medic inal purposes. One of the rangers is authority for the statement that Col onel Dunne, collector of internal reve nue, headed the. Portland posse, further Colonel Dunne was disguised in a suit of armor- plate designed by President Alvord. of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works. It takes one of these ranger to see things, to penetrate a disguise. ' Well, there goes the last call for din ner, DAN McALLEN. Y. M. C. A. LECTURE TODAY K. II. Perkins Will Speak on "Xeg lected Children and Youth.",. Continuing its discussion series on "Christianity at Work,'- the Portland Toung Men's Christian Association will devote today's meeting to "Neglected Children and Youth." This is a topic in which the head of the religious work department. R. R. Perkins.. Is particu larly Interested..

Brown, as sistant religious work director of the Y. M. C. -A., will preside.; '- " ' The discussion today, which will be held in the lobby, will be continued next. Sunday. The speakers, at that time will be John G. Kllpack and Rev. M. ESnedecer. ; Pasco Sued by Residents PASCO. Wash--July 20. (Special.)
