MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MED FOUL). OREGON. FRIDAY. AUGUST 3. 1935. PAGE NINE FIGHTING OF FIRES DEL Road to Top of Battle Moun tain Receiving Major At tentionJack Creek Road Faces Easy Stretch CAMP WIMER. Aug. 9. (Spl.) Fire Interruptions and low company strength may prevent the wlmer CCC workmen from reaching the objectives laid out for summer accomplishment. It la thought here. At the present time, the road to the top of Battle mountain Is receiving major atten tion, the object being to cut through to the observation eower at that high point so that material may be moved in by truck to build the new tower before the fall rains commence. Wlmer recently received a new bull dozer making four In all now work ing out of this camp. Two of the snub-nosed dirt movers are gashing the sides of Pry Peak one mile short of the saddle between Pry Peak and Battle mountain. Prom the saddle, there will still be 1 miles of road to build before the first load of tim bers can be moved In for the new tower. Chief Foreman Thompson hopes to cut a truck trail through to the top by October 1, thus winning the race with the rains by a narrow margin. Push Jack Creek Road The Jack creek road has now emergedfrom the Jack creek canyon timber and has begun the half-mile of comparatively easy going along the bare ridge toward the Daisy mine, Foreman Coffman hopes to reach the mine, 1'4 miles away by September 15. Ultimate objective of the Jack creek road Is to tie Into the King mountain road 4 miles beyond the mine at a point In the burn at the head of Ditch creek. The Ditch creek-King mountain road still lacks two miles of reaching the point where It makes a Juncture with the Jack creek road. At that point it will begin the plunge down the hillside to Grave creek, cross at the Pease place and ascend the slope to King mountain along the flat ridge between Boulder creek and Baker creek. Distance yet to go to King mountain is about 8 miles and It will be impossible to complete the road before the rains commence. Rork Crusher Moving , During the next three days & 75 yard rock crusher will be sent In to be set up at rock bluff two miles above the Juncture of the Ditch creek and county road. Rock from the crusher will be used to make the new road passable during the winter months, thus making it possible to work on the ridges between Daisy mine and the burn until heavy snow falls. The Jack creek road will not likely be rocked this year. The new road system will. In addi tion to Its usefulness in the control of fires, be Instrumental in opening up new regions of scenic beauty to summer tourists. Steepest of the roads. Jack creek, has a grade which does not exceed 13 per cent, easily pa5sable for passengers cars. Winding up through shady canyons heavily wooded by fir, pine and cedar. It emerges on a long narrow ridge where for half a mile, automobilists can look out In either direction upon a tumbled world of green clad hills with steep and twisted canyons. The hills are like monster earthen waves with the plumes of tall trees for foam. Big Valley Visible At a point on the Battle mountain road Just before the snaky road throws a coll round Fry Peak to the saddle, the whole of Pleasant valley dotted with farms stretches out vis ible to the hills beyond the Rogue. A wide place in the trail at this breezy point will enable tourists to stop and reflect on the littleness of man. CCC members, keeping a sharp look , out for outcropplngs of gold, examine ' the quartz every time the bulldozer of the dynamite crew turns It up. So far nothing but fools' gold has been found, but the boys go on scanning the milky quartz. The next rock may be flecked with gold. Use Mail Tribune want aAa.

And a single rooming getaway, engineers and car manufacturers will tell you, can use 33 more gasoline than normal driving. This means you need a gasoline with power for HARD PULLING. But one kind of power alone can't save you money in today's stop-and-go driving. You elso need power for INSTANT STARTS. And your gasoline must be economical in STEADY RUNNING as well! It's one thing to put these three kinds of power into a gasoline, but it's an even bigger engineer ing job to have them in the right proportion . . . in perfect BALANCE.
