Spilyqy Tyvnoo, Wrrn Springs, Oregon August 5, 2004 Pqge7 Fire: crews now in mop-up mode Team sets brand record (Continued from page 1) By Wednesday of this week, fire crews were expecting to have the fire 100 percent con tained. On Tuesday many of the crews that had been on the fire were being released. They were heading to other fires, or home to rest. The crews that remained on the scene were in the fire mop up mode. On Tuesday there were about 500 people on the fire. Earlier, when the blaze was not contained, there were close to 700 personnel. The Log Springs fire black ened just under 14,000 acres. The fire was human caused, but it was not determined whether the blaze was a matter of ar son, or an accident, according to Log Springs Fire Command. During the hottest time of the fire, roads, including High way 9 to Kah-Nee-Ta, were closed, and about 20 homes were voluntarily evacuated. By Monday all the roads were open again, and the residents were back at their homes. Total cost of fighting the Log Springs fire is estimated at $3.65 million. Funding comes from the federal government through the Bureau of Indian Affairs. A burned area emergency rehabilitation (BAER) team is now working with the BIA to prepare a plan to mitigate ero sion and other environmental damage caused by the fire and the suppression activities. it , t , tAJ.J'P A. v A .

The fire camp for the Log Springs blaze was just past the Mill Creek Bridge. This infor mation was provided by the camp: In the first week of the fire, the hundreds of fire fight ers consumed 67,200 bottles of water, 22,200 half-pints of milk, 11,000 cups of coffee, 32,118 pounds of potatoes, and more than 6,100 sack lunches. At its peak fire camp was nearly 900 individuals strong, with hundreds of tents and more than 250 vehicles parked on a 10-acre meadow west of Highway 26.

(AP) - More than 430 Indian artifacts ranging up to thousands of years old have been seized from a home here in what one agent describes as "the single, largest recovery of my career." U.S. Bureau of Land Man agement investigator R. Tracy said he has been a federal of ficer for 10 years. In a case reminiscent of a Tony Hillerman novel, hundreds of stone tools, including arrow points, cutting edges, cookware and other trade items were re covered from the home of David Major, 38, investigators said. I "Right now we've counted j 438 artifacts and we're still work I ing our way through the evi- dence," Tracy said. Among objects recovered was a rare and somewhat damaged lidded pot found with blue and j purple Spanish trade beads be I lieved to be from the 1700s. Also found with the pot were decorative seashells and a Folsom arrow point used for bison hunting 7,000 years ago. "In terms of sheer numbers, this is the single largest recov ery in my career," Tracy said. If the items were taken from federal or American Indian lands, that could be a violation of the U.S. Archaeological Re source Protection Act, he said. Items were found through out the house, with the bulk of them stored in Major's bed room, Tracy said. Many artifacts were wrapped in small indi vidual clear plastic bags. The discovery was made as a result of a traffic stop July 12. Farmington police arrested Clinton Ferrier, 31, of Farmington, on five counts of commercial burglary and related charges after he was caught with a large amount of copper wir ing taken from Saulsbury Elec tric, Detective Sgt. Ken Walker said. As the investigation pro gressed, police suspected Fgrier and Major allegedly committed 10 commercial burglaries, Walker said. Police later obtained a search warrant for Major's home, where the artifacts were found July 25. Charges related to the artifacts are pending. However, Farmington police charged Major on Thursday with four counts of commercial '.burglary; receiving 'stolen prop-''1-erty, tampering with evidence, possession of burglary tools and breaking and entering. He was booked into the San Juan County jail on $100,000 cash bond.
