PAHE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUXE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1934. SERVED NOTICES TO VACATE AREA . Ouster notices la accordance with a temporary Injunction granted 10 days ago by the circuit court, have been served upon squatters mining the past two years upon the property of the Sterling mine. R. E. Banks, -And 74 others, were named as de fendants In the action. The mine property was recently taken over for operation on an op tion by a syndicate of eastern capi talists, according to Attorney Porter J. Neff. . All the miners, with exception of two or three, have left, according to the attorney. . The sheriff's office reported that last week they sold auto licenses to a number of the squatters, so they could return to their homes In Wash ington, California and other western states, . The squatter miners worked the land for three years under permission granted by Pred J. Blakeley, of the Medford Water Power and Develop ment company. The depression caused a return to gold mining. For the most- part the squatters were from other sections. The returns are re ported as good, bad and indifferent, as usual with mining. Some of the squatters said they were making a bare living. Others reported the re turns were "better than wages." Within the past fortnight one of the squatters found a nugget that netted close to 200, it wss reported. The court, in grant! the tem porary Injunction, excluded a small portion of the mining land upon which the title waa doubtful. A hear Ing upon a motion to make the In junction permanent Is scheduled for an early date. The Sterling Mining company yes terday filed a suit against A. E. Brock way of Jacksonville, tendering Brolkway $244. the amount he haa paid on purchase of a portion of the land on a county foreclosure sale. Brockway agreed to make the pur chase on the payment plan. The mining company holds the purchase was void, and the county was not within lta powers In selling the land for delinquent taxes.
