' The atatement follow recent pub lication In the Sacramento papera of charges made by the foreat serv ice officials that obsolete mining lawe are permitting a growing racket In the grabbing of valuable land through fake mining claims. Tells of Own ratent Tn hi statement, Orey aaya: "My objection, expressed In an ar ticle by me published In 1030, to the eaae with which land patents were obtained wa Juatlfled because of my experience and difficulty In endeavoring to legitimately obtain a patent on Winkle Bar. Conscientiously Mined Winkle Bar wa conscientiously mined by my employe at a great coat to me when gold wa selling at (20.88 per ounce, which I found would not net me a sufficient amount to pay expenses. Now that gold has Increased In value to ' where It Is profitable to carry on a mining pro ject of thla kind I am negotiating with parttea for the exploration of mlnea on Winkle Bar. The criticism which t have been subjected to 1 manifestly unfair for the reason, among others, that spent 88,400.20 employing labor from that vicinity to develop the property which otherwise would have remained undeveloped. Any lndl vldual who elected to secure a patent on tnis property could have done o by Improving the property to the extent of 8100 per year for five years. ax tne end of which time they would have been granted a patent to the property. Permitted Fishing "It I true that I did enjoy via. itlng my Rogue river property. I enjoyed the fishing advantagea and the other natural advantagea which greatly aided me In gaining material for my stories. During the aeveral times which I spent there, I did not confine myself to my property at Winkle Bar, but most of my time waa apent on location on the Rogue river outside of Winkle Bar. "I have not at any time attempt ed to keep anyone .from enjoying E the fishing privileges on that part or tne Rogue river which my prop erty border. I do not have a fence on either aide of Winkle Bar nor do I Intend to put one there. The river la free to all sportsmen who care to fish In It, and will always be ao. 1 - am not the only sportsman who ha secured a mining patent the Rogue river or other rivers. and why my name should be alng led out to be attacked tn this un just manner I cannot see.

MElALlE IDENT OF VALLEY DIES IN AUTO MISHAP I could always have fished on the Rogue river without spending the amount of money which Winkle Bar cost me, but I felt that the property waa good mining property, and I still feel that it Is good min ing property, and that some day when I can afford to develop It that It will be profitable to me as such. "That was not the only considera tion which encouraged me to ac quire this property. I felt that I owed the country, which had given me pleasure and about which I had written, a debt which could be paid by developing the property which had obviously no value to any of the people In that vicinity as It had been etandlng for years and years uninhabited, with the possible ex ception of being occasionally occu pied by an Individual who had tern The local tuberculosis Christmas seal ssle campaign was reported in full swing yesterday with manv neo- ple purchasing the little seals, which carry a cheerful message to the world. Although the contributions are smaller in many cases this year, they come from many more homes, the committee stated. And all do nations are appreciated, however small they are. The schools In Jackson county are doing much to aid the campaign. Interest Is particularly high In the Prospect district, where seven cases of tuberculosis have been treated through the discovery of the county nurse.
