CURRY COUNTY MINES ILL BE SURPRISE TO THE WORLD SOI DAY Miner Found Them Rich Be yond Dreams in Gold and Platinum, PLATINUM ONCE WASTED Surj Snbertanoe That Bothsred Miners of JSaXly Days Throws Away and 98 Was Xst to Xrrery Dollar Saved. IJy Fred Lockley. Zumwalt, Or., July 26 Zumwalt Is In Curry county on Sixes river and is mix miles from Port Orford. I visit eJ the cheese factory at Zumwalt and while I was there an auto truck wan being loaded with cheese for ehlpment to Handon. Kumwalt was formerly railed Valley Farm and old-timers in Curry county at 11 1 refer to if as Valley Farm. It takes Its name from Henry J. Zumwalt. who settled there In the fall of 1869. I.Ike the neighboring village of Denmark, four miles to the northward, Its surroundings are Ideally adapted to dairying. In passing It is .interesting to learn how Denmark received Us name. In the summer of 1878 a Danish sailor. N. C. I,orenzen, took up a farm on the present site of Denmark. A few years beforo coming to Curry county Cap tain Lorenzen had married a Danish girl named Annie Nelson. Denmark is noted for its dairying, so when Cap tain and Mrs. Lorenzen found the dis trict In which they had settled so splendidly ndapted to dairying they named it after their native land Den mark. BMp Never Beturned. A deep sea sailor cannot get the rail of the sea out of his blood, so Captain Lorenzen made ' occasional trips in command of coastwise vessels. While. en route from Seattle to San Francisco In command of the Majestic and whne accompanied by his daugh ter Lena it is supposed the Majestic foundered in a heavy storm, for from the day it left its northern harbor nearly 25 years igo It has never been heard of and It has he-n placed on th llts of miHslng and unaccounted for vessels. At Zumwalt the Sixes river vaey spreads out itito broad and fertile bot tom lanrls. but the valley noon nar rows above and on the upper reaches of the SItps river mining is carried on extensively. Kckley In the princi pal settlement on the upper Slxts river. It is miles from Myrtle Point and about 1M miles northeast of Zumwalt. In talking to f. ". Inrnan. who operates the llyroslxes placer claim mx miles from Kckley, I was told something of the richness of Curry county from the mineral standpoint. Mining- Tuna Widespread. "I had heard of the richness of Curry county when I was in Oobifield and Tonopah," said Mr. Inmun. "I de cided to see for myself, so I came up here to look the field over. I heard that there was good ground on the upper Sixes, so 1 visited a rancher on the upper river and asked him as to the plncer prospects around there. He fold me he had some very rich placer ground on his ranch and that he coul! get f0 cents in fairly coarse gold to the pan. Of course, you know that to take TO cents to the pan you must have r9v rich eround. "I bad been in t ho mining business too long to believe any fairy stories of that kind. 1 asked htm if he had ground that rich why he didn't work It and become wealthy. He said he didn't want to become wealthy. He said lie could kill a deer any time he needed meat, that he had all the fish he needed for the catching and that his land was fertile so that he could raise all the potatoes he needed and the gold dust was always there and was Just as safe as if it were In the bank. Palry Story Proveg True. "He said he put In about a month every year washing out what he needed for his yearly expenses. Well, that sounded a little too good to be true, so I asked him to show me the ground from which lie could wash out 60 cents a pan. I thought I had him there, but he got his shovel and gold pan and we went out to the bar and he threw a shovel full of dirt In the pan and panned it and sure enough there was a long string of coarse gold dust In the pan, at least BO cents' worth atid possibly more. I asked him to wash another pan full. He did so and that, too, was rich. Snsplclona Were Unfounded. "Then I asked him to let m tr a pan full, h suspected he had a dump of gravel that he had salted, so 1 went to another place and dug where the srravel and sand had not been dis turbed. I panned a pan full and I could hardly believe my eyes, for I found richer ground than he had been working I panned in different places Dut it an ran well. I secured an ontlon on his place and sold It to the Sixes Mining company and they are making very satisfactory cleanups. They have no siock ror ,ale, which is usually rviaence mat a claim is rich. "I secured 480 acres further up the river which I am now developing. We re, mining at tne site of the old town or sixes, rounded In 1856, and later mined Dy t-hinamen and called China town. It Is Just below th forks of the Sixes river. In early days the miners skimmed the coarsest gold from these bars. Now we are savins musi jjj. mo values tney tailed to se cure. Heavy Metal Was Platinum. in moss uays tne miners were bothered by a hea,ry metal which they termed white' iron and which they threw away. We call It platinum and get from J80 to 100 an ounce for it On account of the war little or no platinum is coming from the Ural mountains In Russia or from Siberia o the price la high. Platinum usually occurs with osmium, lridum and Iron ine oia-iime miners in throwine awn.v this 'white iron" and saving the gold , dust threw away at least $6 for every one they saved. Today Curry county la furnishing the bulk of the platnum . Deing sola. "For years the placer miners have noticed In the alulce boxes heavy brown iron nuggets ranging in size from a grain of wheat to the size of a bean. They have thrown these away as of no value. About a year ago a greenhorn In the mining business , ground up in a mortar several of these Iron nuggets and upon panning them discovered tree gold and platinum. It Is a sulphide of Iron and is rich In . platinum and gold. Black Band Is Sleh. "The Curry county black sand . beaches are famous for their flour CURRY HAS WILD COAST V -' ' a 2 Above On the southern Oregon coast. Below Black sand mining in Curry county. gold, which Is too light to be saved hy the ordinary processes. Mixed with this black sand Is a large quantity of platinum caused by the erosion and disintegration of the iron sulphides. From the mouth of the Sixes to the mouth of Elk river there are count less tons of black sand along the beach covered over in most places with ordinary gray sea sand. "On my claim of 480 acres I have about 3000 Inches of water and 1 0 ' u feet of sluice boxes. I am usln: riffles and cocoanut fiber in my sluice boxes to catch the gold. Here Is a tablesnoonf ul of th coarse gold. You will notice that it looks like bran. It is f!t and never occurs in shot form is the coarse gold found at Jackson ville. Expect Railroad in Tear. "Within a year we expect the railroad to be extended from Powers down to Kckley and on down the Sixes to tap the splendid body of Port Orford cedar along the Sixes river. I believe this rosd will go on down the coast to Eureka, connecting with the r&ad from San Kranci.sco there. When tho road comes down the Sixes it will wonderfullv stimulate the mining Industry of Curry county. "Alone the Sixes the mother forma tion is myrtle. Through this forma tion there are frequent dikes or intru sions of iron sulphides in the form of hematite of iron which carry high values in gold and platinum. Eventu ally Curry county's mineral resources will be mined In a large way and Curry county will surprise the world with the extent and value of its min eral wealth." Officer Who Killed Eagle Is Not Tried State Biologist Finley Consents to In definite Continuance of Case Provid ing Iockwood Pay for Mountings With the consent of State Biologist Finley the case against George I. Lock wcod, Columbia river highway motor cycle officer charged with breaking the stote game law. was Indefinitely con tinued by District Judge Dayton yes terday afternoon. Lockwood shot an eagle near Crown Point Monday afternoon and Mr. Fin ley swore out a warrant for his ar rest Thursday. Under the law violation of the jame law by a state officer amounts to au tomatic revocation of the officer's com mission. Inasmuch as Loclowood shot the eagle in the belief that it was a hawk and in Ignorance- of the fact that the bird was protected, Mr. Finley consent ed to a continuance on conditions that the motorcycle officer pay for the mounting of the bird.

In opposing i a ijormal school at Pendleton certain I pele at Weston are show ing a "dosr- i in-the-manger" tendency, asserts a I statement Issued Friday by the Pendle- ton committee of which J. N. Burgess I Is chairman. The statement says: Weston has tw ice failed to Induce the people to reestablish the normal there and there is no future hope of re storing that school because It lacks the facilities for accommodating the school. Attendance Is Small. The average daily attendance of pupils in the Weston grade school last year was but 126, according to the dis trict's official records. Such a number of pupils Is hopelessly inadequate to lmuviuo tMUCLice leuciims lifi'us lor a States bureau of education requires a standard normal school to give all sen- iors a half day's teaching Dractice each ML'S AILITI A KIN NORMAL ASSERTION day for many weeks.

There is not a teather or educational authority of any sort in Oregon or inh .nlt., aleh 1 ,at ?'u!d ,advlse such a course The teaching element is unanimous for a normal at Pendle- ton and it was upon their repeated re- quests that the present measure was initiated by Pendleton people. While ' Weston had any chance whatever of! iaiduusniriK ine scnooi mere ienaie- ton refrained from any effort to se cure a school and the town always voted for the Weston school out of neighborhood loyalty. Weston is showing gross ingratitude by its pres ent course. Claim Plant Worthless. The claim the state has a $75,000 plant at Weston Is farcical. The state appropriations for the old Weston nor mal covering a period of IS years was but $174,000, this amount covering the building cost and the school mainte nance during the entire history of the school. In reality the plant at Wes ton is worthless. The one building of any size is cracked from top to bot tom and would not be used by any school district of the first class. The market value of the entire property at Weston is less than the market value of the site Pendleton is to give to the state free of cost, if a normal is es tablished at Pendleton. Unjust to Eastern Oregon. Eastern Oregon is entitled to a standard normal school and such a school must have a location in a town large enough and progressive enough to meet the institution's needs. At present only 13 per cent of the teach ers of Oregon are normal school grad uates. Eastern Oregon suffers most because of remoteness from the Mon mouth normal. The majority of nor mal students from eastern Oregon now attend normal schools in other states and have to remain in those states to teach. The situation is unjust to east ern Oregon and discreditable to the en tire state.

HOME-MADE POTTED MEATS Potted meats are quite ex pensive if bought-in the store but they can be made at home without much trouble and at a con siderable saving; the only thing to re member is that they must be put up In air-tight jars and the top covered thickly with melted butter and a top layer of paraffin. With this precau tion the home-made potted meat will keep for months in a cool, dry place To make potted beef (which, by he way, would be a good thing to send to our soldiers), you will need two pounds of beef; any of the cheaper cuts will do. Cut it into small ptecesj and put in a fireproof jar. together' with four ounces of butter.- Coven very tightly with a greased paper un der the lid so as to keep in all the juices, and steam gently for three hours. At the end of two hours add a little grated nutmeg, allspice, cloves, mace, salt and pepper and recover tightly. When the cooking is finished, the meat should be literally done to rags, bo that it can be mashed up with a fork into a paste; add enough butter to bring it to the right consistency and then, when quite cold, seal the jars and put away. If you have some cold meat for which there stems no immediate use, it can be easily potted by simply run ning it twice through the finest blade of the mincer, adding enough butter and flavoring, blending all together to a paste and packing uway in Jars; but remember chicken requires very de licate and careful flavoring and Is much Improved by being blended with a little rich chicken gravy.

Because In voting down a proposition for an eight mill special tax levy the voters of the Dallas school district left the board with only sufficient funds to run the schools three months, the school board has called a special election for next Monday, at which time the matter of a special tax levy will again be sub mitted. For several years a special tax has been necessary to maintain tne schools of this city and pay off the bonds and interest of the district. Last year the Bpecial levy was ix mills. This year, because of the failure of tho county to collect the tax on the O. & C. railroad lands, an eight mill tax was deemed necessary.

ZZJL. it is because when the Ko oians were in England they introduced the custom of shaving the head as a sign of mourning. Of course, women could not let themselves be seen with shaved heads, so they made themselves caps. Though tne custom nas iiaiieu. the caps remain. Why do women. break a bottle of win on the ships they are christen ing? The real reason is enough to make your blood curdle. In the days of sacrifice to the gods it was custom ary to get some poor victim when a boat was being launched and to cut his throat over the prow, so that his blood baptized It. W'hv do we throw shoes after brides? 'i'he reason is scarcely compli mentary. From time immemorial It has been the custom for parents to chastise their children with a shoe, and from this the custom arose of the father of the bride making a present of a shoe to the bridegroom, as a sign that it was his right to keep her in order. Lastly, why do we shake hands? To show our friendship, nowadays; but not so In the days of yore. When our forefathers were all fighters they seized each other's right hand during a pause in the duel to prevent a treacherous blow!

"There never arc such fine worms as just after a shower, and after a three-day rain they're wonderful !" "Come here! Come here! Come here!" called Billy from the front walk. Mrs. Billy stopped fixing her feathers and looked out of the nest. Yes, actually, the rain had ceased, and Billy was out there eating already nothing slow about Billy. She chirped a polite "good by" to the sleepy owl, who was set tling into a nap. and flew down be si"de Bi.ly to eat her share of the fine worms that strewed the top of the walk.

Bank Stockholders Law Will Be Tested Does 1913 Statute Fixing; Liability at Dduble Amount of Stock Apply Only to Subsequent Purchasers? Salem, Or., July 29. State Bank Su perintendent Sargent proposes to set tle by a test action the question of the liability of bank stockholders when a bank fails. It is contended that the law of 1912, making stockholders liable for double the amount of the stock they hold in case of failure of a bank, applies only to those who bought stock after the law was passed. This would make two classes of stockholders in a bank, one liable and the other not. The question came up in the case of the Yoncalla State bank.

Get The O LQ BUTT READ Beauty Chat Wear More Clothes Than Venus, i THK transparent and abbreviated skirts ahd waists, bo popular wltn a certain class of young girls, may be indorsed by reople with per verted ideals on account of the physi cal beauty they reveal, but the girl who possesses her right senses, in cluding the beautifying cloak of mod esty, would not crave or welcome such indorsement. The Venus de Milo, al though disrobed partially to exhibit her beauty, may appeal only to the ar tistic sense. A modern Venus as scan tily draped wins nothing but the antithesis of clean and wholesome ad miration. Girls welcome attention and admira tion. This 1s an inherent trait that U not confined to the feminine l'lty the girl who Is compelled to defy mod esty to attract attention. Charity and an understanding of youth compel the conclusion that the giils whose sense of shame seems to be submerged In a wild desire to affect extreme fashions and dodge modesty are victims of their own Innocence. Their indiscretions, however, eml ur rass the wholesome young men with whom they come In contact and on others make an impression that Ib still less enviable. The admiring glances directed toward girls in scant attire cannot be analyzed by modest men and women without causing blushes of in dignation. Filmy, transparent draperies may be becoming to the elfs and water sprlt-s that artistic hands create to depict physical beauty but the modern girl is neither an elf nor a sprite.
