A pamphlet put out by the Oregon State Department of Geology and Mineral Industries shows that only 886 ounces of gold was mined in the entire state of Oregon in 1959. This doesn't compare with the 23,174 ounce figure pro duced in southwestern Oregon alone in 1940. Gold totaling $811,090 was mined in this part of the state that year. The upper Applegate dis trict led the production with 8,672 ounces produced by 22 operators. Gold Hill was next with 6,629 ounces produced by another 22 op erators. Then came Jackson ville with 395 ounces dredg ed up by four miners. ; . As newcomers to the Rogue valley, the Staffords have been taking in all tourist at tractions in the area. Our most recent ad enture was a journey to the Jacksonville museum. It is highly recom mended for other "tourists" in the area. Historical data and objects from the valley and all parts of America are displayed at the museum. Of articular interest is a picture and description of one of the ar i 's most notorious bad.nen, Cnarles E. Boles, bet ter liown in yesteryear as "Blnc Bart." Bld:k Bart was a stage coach robber of no little tal ent. His "hideout was above Dollarhide station in the Sis kiyou mountains. Bart report edly robbed 28 stages in eight years. However, like all crim inals, he ran onto the law in 1880, and spent the rest of his life in San Quentin prison. Bart's talents were not confined to the artful busi ness of robbing stages. He was an equally adept poet. He combined his two talents making it a point to leave little poems in all strong boxes from which he pil fered. The following is one of Black Bart's messages to a despondent victim. "Here I lay me down to sleep. To wait the coming morrow, Perhaps success, perhaps defeat. And everlasting sorrow." . "I have labored long and hard for bread For honor and for riches But on my corns too long you've tread, You fine-haired .... ." - Other recommended "tourist" attractions in the araai 1. A drive to Crater lake. This is one of America's most beautiful sights. The drive takes about two hours, and in our opinion, is highly worthwhile. However, area authorities tctl us that time is running short for making the trip. Snow is expected any day. 2. A drive through the Sis kiyous near Hornbrook. Mrs. Katherine Chapman, our Hornbrook c o r r e spondent, tells us that the leaves arc turning color in the area, highlighting the entry of au tumn. (Other recommended area attractions will be passed on as soon as this writer' sees them.) PTA Committees Appointed in IV - Illinois Valley-The execu tive board of the Evergreen PTA met recently and ap pointed committee members and various officers for the coming year. . Mrs. Bob Nolan, president, told the group that more workers for the various com mittees were needed. The group also discussed proposed improvements to the school playground.

Rural Reflections By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley - Some times, when a boy gets his first deer other folks don't pay much attention, but Paul Lewis got his buck. Paul is 12, and it seems that his fa deer spotted on Elliott creek ther, Dow Lewis, had the ridge; Dow succeeded in run ning the deer out of the brush, and Paul killed him with the third shot. - But the sad part of the story for Paul is that when he told the boys at school about it they just walked away. Nine Bucks Brought To Ranger Station Happy Camp - The Happy Camp ranger station reports that another nine bucks have been checked in at their of fice during the fourth week of hunting season. Four-pointers were brought in by Thomas Crocker, from China Peak, H. L. Webber, from Mill Creek, Helen Atte berry, from Dry Lake look out, Alberta Evans, from Oak Knoll, Dennis Dorrah and Paul Titus from Elk Creek.
