Pete lost first fall to the 235-pound hooded devil in a series of body slams, but came back for the second fall by first tying up the Demon's lege and neck in ropes, then kicking him from the ring. When Anonymous was climbing back into the ropes Belcastro hit him with the full force of a dive and his powerful, dynamite-loaded dropkick to send the Demon sprawling, unconscious, into ringsiders' laps He was un able to come back for the third fall and the match was awarded to Belcastro, for the first time hero of Medford fans, who cheered his bedevilment of the devil. In first half of the double card, Promoter Mack Lillard had pitted Hans Schultz and Mike Sterlich, Jugoslav. Both presented custom ers with a clean display of wrest ling which ran more to hard work than to dramatics. Schultz lost first fall under a biKly press, and then came back to give Sterlich a sickening series of flying head locks, followed by a half dozen swings around the ring which end ed in a Boston crab. Sterlich was unable to defend himself, or even stand, in the last fall and the match was awarded to Schultz amid a shower of boos and pea nuts. It was one of Promoter Lil lard’s best cards since his entry into southern Oregon several years ago, and all seats and all available seats and standing room were sold out before first bell, which an nounced a special number clowned by three youths who mixed slap stick comedy, tumbling and a faint smattering of wrestling to keep fans holding their sides. As a result of this week's match Pete Belcastro will meet the fa mous Jumping Joe Savoldl, who appeared In the Medford ring against Sad Sam Lcthers some time ago. Savoldl is a lightning fast, dangerous wrestler who is favored to win, although Bclcas- tro's handling of the Red Demon would indicate his dropkick might .•nd anybody’s wrestling career at any time. First bell will be heard at 8:30 sharp, with another sell out crowd expected, and fans are advised to make reservations early if they would sit to watch. ----------- •----------- We do not understand why the Utopians want to make a heaven out of California. Isn’t that what is claimed for it already?—Weston Leader. Old Timer Discusses Topic of Iuuly Politicians In Public Life By J. <!. REYNOLDS Maybe I don't get a great big kick out of these nudists. Not that 1 am in favor of nud- Ism at all. I am neither in favor of it nor against it. What they do Is none of my business as long as they leave me alone. I am no reformer. If I was, the first thing I would do would be to < arefully study the history of man kind from the beginning. That probably would teach me that in no Instance In all that time could human beings be forced Into doing anything they didn’t want to do. neither could they be forced into quitting the things they wanted to do at least, not for very long. It has never yet been done and never will be. When nudism first started, If no attention had been given it and the idea well ridiculed, most likely it would have soon died out. But these reformers, with their usual bull-headedness, got right up and told these people they wouldn’t be allowed to go naked, which was just like applying a match to a gasoline-saturated rag. Right away thousands of folks, who perhaps had never given the subject a thought, made up their minds that nudism was the very thing they wanted and they were going to have it One can hardly pick up a paper these days without reading of some new nudist colony being started up somewhere. The notion seems to be spreading like wildfire and fast growing beyond the power of the reformers to head it off. I thought possibly those nitwits had learned something when their prohibition law backfired and came very near to doubling the amount of drinking by the nation. What happened when they tried to force everybody to quit smoking? There are twenty billion more clgarets sold every year since then than there were before. And now these nudists. What a lot of grief these wooden-headed reformers do have attending to other people's busi- ncss instead of their own. Well, I'll bet my money on the nudists. Hu man nature can not be changed. Switching the subject, I was asked a couple of days ago my opinion concerning women's rights. I didn't have time right then to chew the rag with my questioner so I told him I would write some thing about it for The Miner. My personal opinion is that every woman who owns any prop erty on which she pays taxes (Continued on page four) club presented another successful program at Beaver creek on Thanksgiving eve in which mem bers of the CCC force at Star Ranger station were well repre sented.

C. Chitwood, filling his unexpired term ending December 31, 1935 The action came as part of regular monthly meeting of city dads. Until his recent death, Chitwood had been city treasurer for a num ber of years and had established a clean, accurate record during that time. A daughter, Dorothy Chitwood, received two of the council’s five votes for the post. Leland J. Knox, auditor, reported city accounts complete as of De cember 1, this year, and informed councilmen his complete report for 1934 would be ready for first meet ing February, which will be made public. Mayor Wesley Hartman, recent ly returned from a trip to Port land. where he conferred with PWA officials there, said little en couragement could be derived from conversation with Public Works administration representatives con cerning this city's proposed $10,000 water works loand and $3000 grant, which received official okeh several months ago when funds were alloted for Oregon projects. Meeting Tuesday night was con tinued til) tonight, Friday, for the purpose of complying further with PWA loan requirements, at the re quest of City Attorney H. K. Han na. Other lesser routine business rounded out the short meeting of Mayor Hartman and Councilmen Peter Fick. Severance.

Attendants taking the victim to camp, who said he spoke contin ually of a rain barrel at camp as a means of assuaging his pain, ex perienced difficulty in preventing the sufferer from reaching the much-desired source of relief. BRITE BOYS ARE FINED $50 EACH Fines of $50 and costs each, plus the return or replacement of a pair of handcuffs, was the penalty meted out to Coke and John Brite by Justice of the Peace Ray Cole man here yesterday. Fines were suspended pending good behavior, but the brothers were advised to either replace handcuffs belonging to Marshal Jim Littell or to dig up their cost. The case is an outgrowth of a fracas early in October which re sulted in John Brite running off with Littell's handcuffs and Coke's detainment in county jail for four days. Judge Coleman gave the brothers a long lecture for their fistic proclivities and pointed out in detail just what course the law will take next time they become enmeshed in its tentacles. The Brites, miners here, promised good behavior. Assistant District Attorney G. W. Nielson tried the case when John and Coke Brite pled not guil ty before Coleman, who found the defendants guilty as charged, of assault and battery. Defense wit nesses called were Paul Winning ham and Aaron Rhoten. Trial of Earl Johnson and three companions, scheduled for the same time, was tentatively set for today, when Nielson said Johnson was expected to be in southern Oregon on his truck run. He had been released to his father. John son and three companions will face warrants charging assault and bat tery, filed by Ike Coffman of this city. Name of one other defendant besides Johnson has been learned, while two more still listed as John Doe will be arrested on sight here. A determined effort is being made on part of the district at torney's office. Justice of the Peace Ray Coleman and several local sheriff’s deputies to stifle frequent outbursts of fighting and squab bling unbecoming to peace and dignity of Jacksonville. BENEFIT BALL Hot times being planned for New Years eve. Jacksonville’s firemen are planning to keep everything under control here and Wednesday Fire Chief Ray Wilson appointed a special dance committee includ ing Mayor Wesley Hartman, Jim Littell Jr. and Peter Norman to take charge of arrangements. * The ball will be In the nature of a firemen’s benefit, chamber of commerce officials having turned management of the popular dance over to the volunteers for this date. Proceeds will go to the smoke eaters’ equipment and expense fund. New Years dances in Jack sonville have been in charge of the firemen for the past two years. Advance sale of tickets will be launched within the week, said Chief Wilson. Other members of the fire company will comprise a general committee sponsoring the dance. S. F. Broker Here to Scan Field for Outside Capitalists Said to represent several San Francisco capitalists. R. C. Han ford, bay city broker, was in Jacksonville this week looking over mining properties of this district. He was accompanied here by C. C. Clark of Medford, formerly asso ciated with several mining ven tures here. According to Hanford and Clark, there is a strong indication that much outside capital is being brought into this mineral district and that several options to oper ate gold properties hereabouts are being closed. 50 Feet of Best Milling Ore Opened in Discovery Unknown Chute EDITOR’S NOTE—Stories concerning Pacific States mine near Jacksonville are written on the ground only after per sonal inspection of the prop erty and work, and back ground material for compari son and explanation has been taken, chiefly, from mining trade journals and textbooks, and are not based on specially prepared publicity from mine operators. The Miner is mak ing a sincere effort to report activity there and elsewhere as dependably and accurately as possible, with all state ments being well within the facts. Barring strikes of rich pocket gold, one of the most important upper-level discoveries in history of Pacific States mines in recent years was made by operators about 10 days ago when a fault in No. 18-2 stope led them to a heretofore unknown ore chute which parallels present and past workings and which, for first 50 feet opened up to date, indicates the richest body of ore in upper reaches of the mine has been hidden a bare 25 feet from workmen. The new chute, which lies parallel to 18-2 stope, breaks from a 10-foot face at an average of about $20 rock. With interest centered in winze below No. 18 level, a crew of work men had been kept busy taking out ore in the stope some 130 feet above No. 18 in what is known as No. 2 stope. Ten days ago a fault in quartz seam was reached which, when followed, led miners’ steel into the unknown body of ore, at present the richest source of mill ing rock in the entire mountain. Daily assays have been averaging as high as $27 per ton across the face. P. H. Miller, foreman ’of the mine, first noticed drag from the fault leading through hanging wall, which was found to connect the two chutes. H. G. Mitchell, super intendent of Pacific States, stated the discovery uncovered by far the best body of ore opened in the mine since his connection there and. should the new chute con tinue downward to a depth com parable with that already proven on No. 1 chute, will open up an almost unlimited amount of milling ore which will be of equial im portance as the fact recently dem onstrated that orebodies at Pa cific States carry values to depth. Miners bad drifted 50 feet and raised 20 on the chute at press time last night, while activity In other parts of the mine were being continued. Timbering for sinking second winze below the No. 18 level is about complete and de scent will commence within a cou ple weeks when electric hoist has been installed. Development also is being start ed at another point In the mine, at No. 2 level, where 5000 tons of milling ore have been blocked out. An auto road is being built to that point, and compressor from No. 11 tunnel portal Is being moved there, where ore will be moved to mill bins by truck in about 10 days when it will be possible to oper ate mill three shifts a day. bring ing treatment of ore up to 100 tons daily. According to Superintendent Mitchell, unit cell oil Rotation will be installed soon between mill and classifier, to catch coarse and free gold. Larger steel is being installed in equipment at the mine, seven eighths tools being changed to inch dimension. Until movement of ore from No. 2 level, mill will continue on two-shift operation. Gold production at the former Opp mine has been continuous for almost a year, with another car of gold concentrates being shipped to day. At one time the old Opp boasted 20 stamps and was thought to have been mined out years ago, but operation under present management has uncov ered deposits which would indicate the property had only been scratched on the surface, while dis covery of the hidden chute a week ago would indicate that some of the property’s best surface de posits had been entirely overlooked by earlier miners. ----------- •------------ “Burning a candle from both ends always leaves a person be tween two fires,” moralizes The Jacksonville Miner. Which may be why such a person is sometimes referred to as a "hot number ”— Weston Leader.
