Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD M2IE TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1933. PAGE SEVEN Owner of Ashland Mine Gives Intimate Details In Development and Operation of Big Producer of the continue AT BIG WORKING WAGNER CREEK By P. B. TVICKHAM. An article on the Ashland mine by A. B. Kellogg appearing In your Is sue of January 6th. has come to my attention as the owner of that prop erty, and, considering that your cor respondent had neither visited the mine of late or interviewed the owner, r the article was very good and unusu ally correct, but. since this amount of publicity has been had on the subject It may be fitting to offer l little supplementary information to ward more recent facts and to cover some points of error. Production, previous to present operations of the AshlRnd mine. Is remited to be 1,300,000. There Is no litigation of record affecting the property as relating to adjoining ground, but an injunction agalnBt operation of the old milling plant in the city of Ashland led to closing of the mine some 30 years ago at the height of production. The original 430 acres was pur chased by the undersigned in May, 1030. Adjoining land, formerly known as the Wagner ranch, have Bince been purchased, bringing the total holding to some 600 acres. Operation since the beginning of 1931 has been continuous. Several thousand feet of underground work ings have been reopened. More than 15,000 feet of pipe has gone Into water and air lines. More than 6000 feet of track rail Into car tracks. More than 20,000 running feet of round timber has gone Into the mine and more than 100.000 board feet of iawe timber, planking and lumber into the milling plant and other buildings, together with more than 8000 square feet of Iron roofing. Operation of the new ten-stamp milling plant began In Aprall, 1932, and continued throughout the year, with excellent efficiency. All produc tion, together with a large additional sum. was returned to further im provement and equipment mine, which practice will through the present year. This program has provided con tinuous employment to many for the past two years, has distributed large sums of money among the merchants and others of Jackson county during that time, and, from the standpoint of new improvement and continuous operation, may modestly be regarded as the outstanding Industrial project of the county for the time stated. It may be proper to add that the foregoing program has been financed without the sale .of stock or other. Interest in the mine and the prop erty is now owned exclusively by the undersigned. 1 gladly make acknowledgment for the valuable assistance of Jackson county toward rebuilding of the Ash land mine road, for the material co . oneratlon of many business men of the city of Ashland and for the fair policy of local banks toward myseu, with due appreciation to the California-Oregon Power company for ex tension of their power line to the mine. Perhaps it will be of further In terest to know that the undersigned is also the owner of the Shorty-Hope mine, located on Wagner creek in Jackson county, and also of the Standard Metal mine and Standard Placers, located on Rogue river, In the Galice district of Josephine county. The Shorty-Hope mine, like the Ashland mine, was prominent in early day operations of this district and is reported to have a past production of roundly SOO,000. These operations continued until the oxidized ores had been taken for a length of several hundred feet above and to the level of the old workings when milling was suspended. This was followed In later years by the driving of a lower working level which was carried to a length of 1600 feet. This work was suspended about the beginning of the world war and the mine lay Idle until acquired by the present owner late in 1930. Subsequent reopening of the main working level under the present own ership has disclosed during the past year ore reserves which Justify re sumption of operations and ft pro gram Is being started this month to repair and equip the main working level which will be followed by mining of the exposed ores and further de velopment of the property. There are 3000 feet of track rail, ore cars and other necessary equip ment for the purpose now on hand. Delivery to the property has started and actual operations will be under way tills month. Ore fcr the present will probably be taken to the Ash land mill by truck for treatment, with tht Idea of carrying out a compre- j hensive program of development and j blocking of ores before tne ounains ; of a separate plant at the Shorty- ! Hope mine. The Standnrd Placers on Rogue , river have also gone into operation this season. Waters of Bailey creek were brought In during the fall by : ditch and flume under a head of 150 ; feet, hydraulic equipment was In-, stalled and the property la now run- nlns with one giant.

Boy Runs 261-Acre Farm Without Use of Red Ink Harold Umbaufth of Nappanee. Ind., Is only 20, but he operates a 261 ocre fann, and what'i more, makes it pay. Here be Is flouring out some of the problems of management. NAPPANEE, Ind. (Managing a 201 -acre farm not only managing it, but also doing much of the work probably would be regarded by most farmers as a man-sized Job. And when the manager Is a youth of 20, most farmers undoubtedly would say he had a full-time job. And then If he succeeded for three years especially these last three In keeping books without the use of red Ink and managing the farm while going to school, almost any farmer would have to admit he had done a good job. That Is what 20-year-old Harold Umbaugh succeeded In doing with his part-time Job of operating a farm near here, but he still nlt hlmsell a "future farmer." Future Farmers of America is an association of about 65,000 boys who have succeeded In an agricultural project more advanced than the work outlined for 4-H club members. Harold was chosen to represent In diana at the national congress of the asociatlon at Kansas City, Mo., and came home with a "fourth degree gold medal, the highest honor award ed In the organization. Umbaugh lives on one farm with his grandfather, and operates It In conjunction with adjoining land owned by his sister, a school teacher. For three years he has been the managing head of th enterprise. Two of those years he also was attending school, doing his work before and after classes. It Is a full-fledged farm that Har old operates, with livestock, diversi fied cropa and the attendant problems of treating calves with the colic, chickens with the pip and horses with the heaves. This year he had 36 acres of wheat, 28 acres of oats, 23 of corn, 14 of clover, 29 of soybeans, 14 In hay, besides pasture. Is under lewe to J. H.

For three years, sinew the death of his father, he has mule the farm pay, according to his records. "It is my herd of 10 dairy cattle that Is making money now," he explains.
