"On the War Path" Is Title of
New Work to" Be Made. Thi$
, Winter by A.' Phimister Proctor
Following a perilous journey from
thejand of many glaciers In Mon
tana,' A, Phlmster Proctor, sculptor
'and sportsman. Is on his way-from
r&rtland to New Tork with hit new
model-Big- Beaver,-a Blaekfoot In
dlaa, -whoso likeness la to appear in
his latest work, , "On the War Path."
Proctor Is known In Portland as the
sculptor Whose hand modeled "The
Pioneer," recently dedicated by Jo
seph N. Teal at Eugene. His work,
ThejiBuckaroo,' stands today in
' heroic . size in tho ctvlo center In
I Denver, Colo., where the new' piece
win be its eompanion as soon as it Is
completed. . .7 - '
-Procter, was commissioned through the
influence of the lata Mayor 8 peer of
Denver by J, K. Mullen to model "The
Buckaroo." 7 Stephen Knight also - of
Colorado,' Is the donor of the new piece,
which, ' when completed, will occupy the
exact spot where, the young Phimister
played in the. baseball nine as a boy.
Here ' it was that in his early school
day. Proctor wttieed the flight of
seven antelope across the school grounds
which now mark the heart of great
city. .y.r--.-' , ';.;'..t4r-. I
" FronM Bir California home Proctor
traveled by automobile to the big game
country, . near MoDermett lake, for his
. summer outing, . incidentally to scout for
' a model for the new work, the figure for
which had been' submitted to the Den
ver benefactor. On the Blaekfoot In
dian reservation, he chanced upon Big
Beaver,- who, after some persuasion,
rather 'fancied the'- adventure which
meant his first trip by automobile and
the exploration of the white man's cities.
CITY 8TKAXGK TO 19 DI AS
.'It wasn't, what you'd call a pleasure
Jaunt," said Proctor in speaking of his
trip out from: the reservation by auto
mobile." The roads were full of holes.
There wasn't a sign board all through
the state of Nevada and for more than
a hundred miles at a time we wouldn't
see a house. The Injun' didn't like it
much,;" At; first I wa afraid I'd lose
him, 'till 'he got used to : the machine
When we were on the hilltops, spinning
along he'd sing love songs, or war songs
or weird : Indian ballads, but a. soon as
We began '-. going " down through ,- rough
roads , and valleys tne tune changed to
a dirge. Sort of got on the nerves at
first till I finally began . to enjoy it.
After we'd" gone few hundred pillM I
began to wonder what I'd, do. if he de
cided to quit me so . I humored him in
every, way X could for 'Injuns' like that
are hard to find. When w finally got
to town with streetcars and city traffic,
he was In a terrible state of fright and
he Vn me busy looking after him.
' Proctor and his model drove to Palo
Alto-, u here they - spent some time be
fore jsomlng north again. His experi
ences in finding models and. in studying
the life of the ranges sometimes offers
adventures as strange as a moving pic
ture plot He relates the story: of a few
years ago when accompanied by his wife
and family be was waiting for someone
to- ride a certain horse that he might
sketch the animal from life. - .
. Camp had been laid for the night and
the fires or supper time were sending up
their smoke.
"Who's goln' to ride this here buckln'
horse for Proctor." , said someone In the
group of buckaroos In the camp not SO
yards away from ths Proctor family. .
EXFXBDEirCB IS EXCITWO ' 1
"Guess I earT ride anything a sheep
herder can ride.1? drawled Oeorge Spear
man, a biff negro in the group. "I'll ride
the horse for him," but as he .finished
the last word two shot ; rang out , and
Spearman fell from , his horse shot
through the stomach and , fa terrible
agwv. ' t
- Taking Off his chaps the men ad
ministered what little ; first aid they
could and the negro was bundled into
the Proctor oar and driven as fast as
possible to the nearest town. Proctor
was unarmed and the roads were bad so
that travel was dangerous and slow.
Just below a bend . in the road the man
who did the shooting appeared once mors
and ordered them to stop.?: Proctor drove
on unheeding; and managed to get the
negro to. a physician just In time, - On
chaps Of-the negro lay where they had
been thrown In the .scramble' after the
shooting. There was no one there to
claim them and they felt to the lot of
Proctor who still keeps them . in his
possession. . eDuring the past, summer,
at his home in the south, a birthday
costume party was on the program for
the young daughter of the Proctors. Aft
er some persuasion' the -young woman's
father dressed in his cowboy togs and
among-other things put on the chaps.
. Proctor expects to work through the
remaining months of the winter In his
studio in New York. The heroic sice
figure of the horse in the new study has
been shipped to the studio and the- win
ter months will see the completion of
the Indian figure for the horse, af tei
which the piece will be cast in bronse.

Southern Oregon's Richness in

bat little attention given to the pro-.
duction : of platinum in this region
until the late ; war-; began. 7 - The
United States government with
the Interruption of tho norhial lm
noctatioQ of tho metal from the Ural
mountains in Russia, made a special
effort to discover : and : develop the
platinum' deposits throughout Jack
son and Josephine counties.,
The "geologists of the United States
survey early in the war devoted over
three months to this work, and visited
practically every hydraulic placer min
ing district in Southern Oregon and
Northern California. 7 In ' nearly every
district visited toy these eeologists they
learned that prior to their ooming. prac
tically no attention , had been paid " to
the recovery of this. rare metal by the
hydraulic miners. . '- "t ; v
k The miners! after recovering the metal,
had often discarded it without knowing
what it was, or kept it for a time as
a curiosity, only to throw It away when
a ready market . was not available.
These experts. 'after making a thorough
search in this mineral sone, found noth
ing that Interested, them more than the
high percentage of platinum to be found
in the placer dikrinss t the region. ,
"There is little doubt that from the
early days of placer mining In this re
gion, more values in platinum went into
the sluices and were lost,-than were ever
taken out in -gold," were the Words ex
pressed by the geologists ; after com
pleting the survey. ;7 , " T
ASSOCIATED WITH SEEPBlTTiyB
Platinum, like chrome in this region.
Is elosely associated with serpentine.
The native alloy in platinum is trtdtum
and asiom, in which the platinum Is
found la nearly all the gravel deposits
In this . region, as in the Ural moun
tains and derived from the serpentine of
the region. That is, they are believed
to have been the primary constituents
of the igneous rock, which have altered
to serpentine. 7 , -7
In the Riddles quadrangle in this re
gion, the serpentines have resulted
chiefly from the decomposition of the
peridotltes . and the pyroxsniUs, but
some areas of the serpentine are prob
ably the result of the decomposition of
basic phases of the greenstone. Much of
these serpentines show sheared sone?
and slickensided surfaces.
Many of the miners in prospecting
for platinum bad difficulty In deter
mining whether or not the black sands
of the region contained the metal and
at other tiroes confusing It with silver.
In sosie placer deposits, the grains of
the platinum are. coated with a dark
film and somewhat resemble the grain
of the dark chromite, magnetite or llmen
Ite and in panning was confusing to the
miner, During the' survey of the United
Stateg survey geologists in this region,
they fully - demonstrated to ' the ' miner
the art of saving 'the metal and. now
most of the placer miners are well "versed
in detecting the presence of the metal.
The sodium-mercury amalgam Is" the
prinpalagent in gathering Jointly the
gold and platinum in the placers of this
region. ,
OLDEST OS TOT
The great serpentine dike extending
from Siskiyou county, California, first
makes its appearance In Oregon in the
upper Applegate district. This district
is occupied in large part by old Paleo
solo sedimentary rocks with interboddei"
Kills or flows of andesite character. I.
places these bedded rocks - are pene
trated by dikes of dark igneous rock
and also large irregular masses of tons
lit. The sediments in general stiiki
about north 20 degrees east, and- dip
at a high angle to the eastward.
. As elsewhere shown for this entire re
gion they have perhaps been overturned
so that the oldest beds now He abovef
tne younger, on this basis the oldest
Palodsolc rocks are the arglllltea and
sandstones containing limestone: lenses
near Watkina and on the Little Apple
gato and its tributaries. They have
been Intruded by andesite and i serpen
tine dikes and 1q placos highly altered;
They are also modified by intrusions of
tonallte. Serpentine derived in part
from dunite. is abundant ern Red moan
tain, which obtained its name from the
color, of the thoroughly oxidized Soils
derived- from it and similar high ferru
ginous rocks. 7 The serpentine is Out by
seams, some of which are occupied by
chlorite and others by talc. It is also
marked in some by long conspicuous
needles of. actinolite. On the eastern
peak some of the serpentine is derived
from alteration of amphlboltte. J
This dike makes very pronounced ap
pearance in Josephine county and is not
rare in Jackson county. It. is found on
the ridge north of Elliot creek; at Sis
kiyou, gap, at the Ramsey mine on Slate
creek,' en Walkers mountain. Mount Pitt
mine orf Jump-Off -Joe creek.' at-' the
Gold Coin mine on Coyote creek, on
Feavine mountain, and at the Gold Bug
mine on Mount Reuben. ' - . , k
MIKK OWKEB8 Srit PRISED
- Late to 191 the owners of WHlgh
land onarU mine in the Gold- Hill dis
trict were surprised on receiving a smel
ter report of a. mill run, that the ship
ment, besides containing the regular
per cent of gold and silver, also eon
tatned a high per cent of plattamn, The
ore of the shipment was taken from the
100 ' foot level in the mine. The foot
walls of the vein are mingled with ehist
and granite, while the hanging Walls
are made up of serpentine, shlst and
granite. - - , ;x . ;
The operators of the mine, in an at
tempt, . to discover the . source of : the
platinum in thehlpment, gave the-walls
of the vein a thorough pan and assay
test, but. found no trace of platinum.
Nonplussed, they looked to the vein mat
ter for the source. ',: Th vein matter is
mingled with three colors of quarts,
rose, amber and blue. The blue Quarts,
which is quite dense, is also pitted
throughout-with' small cavities, ' which
are lined with a black sooty mineral
and filled with a decomposed irony mat
tor. In crushing and panning this
quarts it gave results with a high per
cent of platinum, while assay tests wars
etui better. Thla Is the only instance
in this region where, the source of this
rare metal in -the placer diggings has
been found. ' Foots creek,' the adjoining
stream to- this mine, carries a high per
cent of platinum in its - wash - gravel.
Possibly with a general resumption of
Quartz mining in this region "other de
posits of platinum In quarts will be uncovered.
