Former Ashland
Citizen Honored
Professor Harry M. Shafer, for
merly president of the Southern Ore
gon State Normal School, is now
principal of the Union HiKh School
of Hanford, California. He wished
to return with his family to the Pa
cific coast. The state superintendent
of California, knowing this, advised
the members of the school board of
Hanford to try and see if they could
secure Professor Shafer. who was
president of the "Clarion, Pennsyl
vania, State Normal School, and who
was anxious enough to come west
and accept a high principalship at
least temporarily, if they could offer
him a good salary. The board of
fered him probably the highest sal
ary paid to any high school principal
in the state. He accepted the offer,
resigned the presidency of the Penn
sylvania Normal, and last summer
came west again. The board or Han
ford had to hnve a strong man, thev
said, because the 200 high school
students had completely gotten away
with the principal the year before.
Mr. Shafer has so completely revolu
tionized the school that the "colts"
who were formerly so frisky and
seemingly beyond control now actual
ly conduct the high school in the
absence of the principal at teachers'
conventions. We have found out
many thintrs about our former Presi
dent Shafer through the Hanford
newspapers. He has recently been
elected president of the Central Call-

Hopkins Tract
To be Opened
The ten timber cruisers who have
been cruising the Hopkins estate east
of Ashland returned to Ashland Tues
day after an absence of forty-two
days and left for the north on the
evening train. They cruised the tract
for the Kelly people a big Michigan
and Wisconsin concern. The cruise
cost approximately $5000, of which
about one-fourth was spent in Ash
land for supplies and livery hire etc.
Medford Mail Tribune: Levi L.
Angle of Ashland was in Medford a
few days ago, visiting his brother,
William Angle, ot' C09 Hast Main
street.
Mr. Angle formerly resided in
Medford, twenty-odd years ago. At
that time he was owner of part of
Medford's townsite, and aside from
being interested in Medford real es
tate he was locating timber land, the
Keene and Jenny creek section of
sugar pine, east from Ashland, being
his field of operation. This tract of
land now embraces several thousand
acres and is known as the A. C. Hop
kins tract.
Mr. Angle claims to be the
founder of the big Hopkins tract.
"Yes," said Mr. Angle, "I don't think
there is any mistake as to who first
began gathering up this immense
tract of timber. I came to Medford
in September, 1SS5, from Pennsyl
vania. I had been a lumberman there
r o
8
fornia Teachers' Association, held at and was an experienced cruiser and
Fresno last week. He has developed
a very strong course in agriculture in
connection with the high school, so
that other schools and school boards
are wanting to work up their schools
to the pattern set at Hanford Union
High School. A strong organization
of Camp Fire Girls also belong to
this school, and are under the direc
tion of Miss Moody of the faculty.
To sum up this matter, we wish
the people of Ashland and Southern
Oregon to regret again that we lost
such an educator as Professor Shafer
through the uncalled for slaughter oi
our Normal by politicians.

estimator of timber. I made inquiry
in Medford to learn if there was any
timber land to be had in this. part of
the coast country. 1 was 'told there
was lots of it, but that it was not
worth paying taxes on; .but in 1886
I secured plats and information from
.1. S. Howard, then a surveyor of
Medford, and started for the timber.
1 soon discovered that there was lots
of timber in that locality and I began
corresponding with lumbermen in
Pennsylvania, and finally Interested
my old friend, A. C. Hopkins, who in
1SS9 sent C. H. Pierce here to look
over th timber.
"The inspection proved satisfactory
and in about 189u they commenced
buying land at $5 an acre. This buy
ing continued at about this price un
til 40,000 acres hal been acquired.
"While all this buying wa3 going
on I endeavored to induce Medford
people to take up some of the gov
ernment land then vacant in that sec
tion, but they only laughed at me
no one would take a quarter section.
That tract of land is now worth be
tween three and three and a half
million dollars." '
Gold Explorers
Getting Busy
The uncovering o what is believed
to be an extensive ledge ot gold-bear
ing ore on the slopes, of Old Grtezlv j
was one of the surprises of the past
week. The find was made at an alti- I
tude of 5000 feet at the head of a big !
gulch that extends from the north
side of the peak down intc the-valley
of Antelope creek. The discoverers i
claim that the ledg. is plainly dis-1
cernible for a distance of ?') feet
or more and that it is 300 feet wide.
The samples brought to Ashland
are highly mineralized and bear re- i
semblance to the ore taken from the j
Homestake mint in South Dakota
and the ore at Cripple Creek. The
ore Is of volcanic origin and grayish
blue In color. The locators have
staked ten claims and contend that
they have located on immense body
of the ore.' This week they start the
sinking of a shaft fifty feet and will i
drift to the side walls to see what
they've got. One wall Is slate and
the other granite.
The discoverer of the ore body is
J. E. Hummel, who says he has lived
over in that section for years and has
known of the ledge for a long time
but never had the money to work it.
He has associated with him Major
Wilson of Medford and the Womack 1
brothers. Mr. Rummel states that
four assays of the ore hr' e been made
and that It ranges in, values from j
eleven dollars to sixty dollars per ton. i
Local mining men and geologists are
much interested in the reports as It I
has always been held that the form I
ation of Old Grizzly and surround
ings were unfavorable to the finding
of the precious metals.
The men are starting in at once to
put up cabins and build a road and
will work a small crew of men this
summer to bring the mine to develop
ment sufficiently to show what it is.
It is ideally located so far as water
and timber are concerned and should
the ore turn out to be as rich and
the vein as extensive as asserted the
proposition could quickly be devel
oped into a flourishing mining camp.
Stranger things have happened over
the heads of geologists and mining
men. The ten claims staked are
practically at the Intersection of sec
tions eighteen, twelve, thirteen and
seven.
Verdict (or $12,500
Against Power Co.
The Oregon supreme court Tuesday
confirmed the decision of the circuit
awarding a verdict of $12,500 to
Joseph H. McClaugherty against th3
Rogue River Electric Compuny. Tnls
decision came under the new employ
ers' liability law and the supreme
court holds that there is no limit to
the amount of damages for death
that a Jury can award. The company
failed to provide the protection to life
that the law required and the su
preme court held that the law 's
mandatory on the company to do so
and that the company must comply
with the law and any other protection
they see fit to provide must be In
addition and not a substitution of the
lawful requirements.
