BLUE RIVER DISTRICT
SHOWING ANIMATION
A. S. 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.
