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. This property

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.
