Blanton of Alameda, Cal., hut, leased with an option to buy the old Luthy property on Sardine creek and Is now occupying the small house on the premises. The property is owned by Mrs. D. j Mirny or saiem. whose late hus band was at one time a teacher In the Sardine Creek school. Subse quently, Mr. Luthy taught In school in Grants Pass, uease of the land waa arranged through Mrs. Luthy 'a son-in-law. H. P. Jewett. principal of the Central Point high school. Aside from the small dwelling, the prop erty, consisting of 160 acres, is un improved. A mining man of long eperience who has sought gold in most of the western states, Mr. Blanton at pres ent is interested in analyzing a quartz deposit on the Luthy property but if that does not prove to be j worth developing he said it Is pos sible he would purchase the place anyway. Mr. Blanton expects his wife to come here shortly and he stated that if her health improves as notice ably as It did a short time ago when she visited In this part of Oregon he will take up the option and establish his residence here. In recent years be has been in business In Alameda. A member of a pioneer family, Mr. Blanton is not unfamiliar with this section of Oregon. He prospected around here 42 years ago and once resided in Ashland for 15 years. Tils father. John Blanton, was a Goli Hill resident in the early '60s. John Blanton', his brother, and their father crossed the plains from Clay county, Missouri, and settled in what Is now Sale-.n In 1847. John was then 18 yea:s old and his brother j 16. They had not been out here j long when they heard the news of ; the gresc discovery of gold in Call- fornK. With a few other adventurers the j three Blantons set out In January, j 1849, for Sutter's Mill, where the i original gold discovery was made, ' picking their tortuous way slowly and i cautiously through the Indian-infest- j ed wilderness that Oregon and Call- ; fornia were, it was related by Wil- ! llsm A. Blanton, who heard the story i of the gold rush numerous times from ; the lips of his father, John. The venturesome Blantons and their companions went first to Sut ter's Mill but there they were advised to prospect along the Feather river, which they did. much to their profit. They were among the first to reach California after the discovery of gold had become known, Mr. Blanton aid. After mining along the Feather river for more than a. year, during which time they accumulated a cony atderable fortune in gold, the Blan tons set out on a river boat for San Francisco. William Blanton recalled his father's story. There they board ed a sailing vessel and after six , weeks of uncertain progress they fin- j ally reached what is now Portland. It would seem but natural that j William Blanton should turn early in bis life to mining, wnicn ne am. ne has mined In Oregon. California, Ari zona, ilaho an Nevada. Indeed, It was a mining boom in Nevada that enticed him from this part of Oregon manv vears ago. Now, with real es tate business in Alameda dull, it Is the new quest for gold, motivated by the high price for the metal, that has brought him back. f. &f"U , V V" 'M.ffllS Harvest Hats I h7 rfs.Jl r frl 4 fT F )i Ifri; mUmk Wards Copper-Riveted ; 4 M panvasworweovo "101" Brand-Service !
