OF By Leonard Hall Hard-rock drilling and log chop ping contests, old fashioned dancing and brass-railed bars teeming with foaming schooners and free lunch will once again burst forth Saturday, August SO, when historic Jacksonville will go on a wild spree, laugh at Father Time and rip an even 60 years from calendars. Commencing at 1 p. m. on that day and continuing till the crack of dawn the next the old town will revel In the glory and glamour which is rightly her's, and will show the world at large Just what a rlp-snortin, hell -raisin' gold camp she used to be. Standing In a room of the old U. 8. hotel which once sheltered President Hayes, a group of representative Jacksonville business men. Legion members and citizens last week de cided to revive the old days when the former county seat was at Its prime and, incidentally, raise cash necessary to buy a site for a new gold recovery ball mill which will be erected there within a few weeks. Because of its historic past, its pre servation of a large share of the state's relics and the fact that mining .gold is still a real business there, the group hit upon the idea of re-enacting scenes and customs which made Jacksonville known and respected from the torrid Interior of Old Me -lco to the chilly wastes of northern Canada. Backing of Medford post of the American Legion has been promised and already meetings have been held with special committees appointed, tentative program arranged and act ive work started on what promises to be one of southern Oregon's most thrilling and unique celebrations. Arrangements are being made with husky miners and towering loggers to display their abilities, search Is being instituted for wild hogs to be greased and brains are being racked for unique' and humorous races which will be staged. Mack Llllard, Medford boxing promoter, has started work on a fight card to be staged In an out- 1 door arena to be erected for the occa- j si on and promises an outstanding list of fighters for the celebration. It Is planned to erect a marker on the spot, situated near the center of town, where gold was first discovered In Oregon, and station experienced prospectors with gold pans there for the day to demonstrate their art to Interested throngs. Numerous back yard mines, going full blast, also will become show places to those unac customed to Intricacies of a gold camp. Museums will be thrown open and the old Beekman bank, which alone handled millions of dollars In gold dust, will be open for Inspection, preserved Just as it was years ago. Aa darkness eliminates the outside attractions lighted horseshoe courts, carnival concessions and a fight card will precede two dances, one strictly old fashioned fiddlers, organ and caller held for exponents of the fast disappearing art. The second dance, a regular weekly feature In the old hotel, will be conducted for followers of the modern trend. Banquet hall of the one-time deluxe hostelry former bright spot In a 700-mlle stage coach route will be transform ed Into a combination "gambling den", and "barroom." Oscar Lewis, Jacksonville merchant, has been voted as head of the cele bration committee and other mem bers are Ray Wilson, Clint Dunnln ton. Joe Wetterer, Dick Chappell, John Knight, Alfred Norrls, George Woods and Leonard Hall. A special committee from the Medford Legion post, composed of Chairman Elmer Wilson, Roland Smith and Fred Frye are working with the group. The old town, which contains more historic interest than the average county, has united In putting over the "fifty years ago" celebration and will take great pride In being able to turn back time In Its flight and recreate Jacksonville, August 20, 1883.
