42nd Annual Josephine
County Fair Under Way
Today at Grants Pass
Grants Pass - The forty
second annual Josephine
County fair opened this morn
ing at the county fairgrounds
west of Grants Pass.
Saddle horse races, horse
shows and square dances are
among the special events
which have been scheduled
during the four - day fair,
which runs through Saturday.
Fair manager Lee Pruitt
said that, from early indica

Duplication of Oregon Area
Names Generates Confusion
By PRISCILLA AVERILL
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Grants Pass - Considerable
heat has been generated
around the state lately over
the confusion caused by the
duplication of some Oregon
place-names. There are, it has
been complained, too many
"Salmon" rivers, "Fish"
creeks and "Bald" mountains.
There is even another
"Rogue" river - in Polk coun
ty. This current confusion
might never have resulted if
our more prosaic forebears,
who named, some of these
places, had used the ingenuity
displayed by southern Ore
gon's pioneer prospectors in
dreaming up names for their
mines.
There is ample evidence In
Josephine county mining rec
ords that the early-day gold
seekers hereabouts were not
handicapped by the lack of
Imagination which handed
down to us an overabundance
of "Bald" mountains and "Sal
mon" rivers,
Had the owners of the
"Steam Beer Placer" and the
"Bone of Contention" mine
got their heads together on
naming a mountain stream,
for instance, it's a cinch they
would have come up with
something more original than
"Fish Creek."
When it came to thinking
up terse titles, the miners
were without peer; whole
stories can be read into the
names they chose for their
lucky (and sometimes not so
lucky) claims.
One was called the "Tough
nut Property." (Did they suc
ceed in cracking it?) Did it
give them as much trouble as
the "Holy Terror" mine? It's
ten to one that the gold in
each of them was a lot harder
to get out than that of the
"Free and Easy" mine.
Though various metals, in
eluding copper and chrome
have been mined here, the
vast majority of the more

colorful names, as might be

hints that its discoverers nev

Some pet names, like "Lit

"Little Marvel," snow their
owners' affection for the
source of their sudden wealth;
but the one we like best is
the "Humdinger Mine." It
must have been.
Some names reveal the
miners' hopes for vast riches:
"King Tutt Prospect" and
"Bullion Mountains, Inc."

Other miners, more frankly
interested in the end results,

True or not, the very names
of these mines make one sus

more wealth than "Hole in

Diggings," "Lost Prospect," or
'Last Chance Placer."
Some names hint of the
miners' joy at the time of the
strike, such as the "Happy
Day" mine; but one wonders
if they hadn't celebrated not
wisely but too well when they
christened the "Blue Mule
Claim" and "Red Elephant
Claims."

Sum of State Funds
Allocated to Siskiyou
County Announced
Senator Randolph Collier
announced yesterday tabula
tions by the State Board of
Equalization show Siskiyou
county, with .20 per cent of
the state population, received
.26 per cent of all the State
subventions to counties and
.42 per cent of the shared
revenues, for a total allocation
of .29 per cent of funds to
all counties.
Collier said the the tabul
ation was made by John B.
Marshall, Senior Statistician
of the State Board of Equaliz
ation. "These figures appear
to indicate that Siskiyou coun
ty is in a favored position
with respect to receiving more
from the State than is paid
by the county's taxpayers,"
Marshall told Collier.
Marshall's c o m p utations
showed that Siskiyou county
taxable sales were .15 per
cent of the state total, and
personal income was .28 per
cent of the total, however,
personal income tax was only
1 per cent of the amount
collected throughout the state.
Use of Building
Discussed
Talent - During a special
meeting of the Talent Rural
Fire Protection district held
recently, a motion was made
to lease the former Alpine
logs building on the comer of
Hwy. 99 and Valley View
roads from Paul Selby of
Ashland for use as a fire hall
for the association.

rechristened "Red Elephant"

our "Salmon" rivers be re
named "Holy Terror" or
"Free and Easy" (depending
on how they flow). It's only
to show that had they been
discovered in the first place
by such men as our early gold
miners, their names would not
now be a "Bone of Conten
tion." Marshall tabulated the fol
lowing $3,660,409 in state al
locations to Siskiyou county
during the 1961-62 fiscal year:
state subventions: education,
$1,877,600, public health
$25,442, county roads and
grade crossing $102,430,
other public works $9,601,
social welfare $504,451, ju
dicial $13,400, other pro
grams $7,199; subventions
total $2,540,213.
Shared revenues: Highway
user taxes to cities and coun
ties $830,439, liquor license
fees $42,358, motor vehicle
license fees (in lieu taxes)
$223,506, trailer coach license
fees (in lieu taxes) $223,506,
trailer coach license fees $21,-
393, unrefunded aviation fuel
tax $2,500; total shared rev
enues $1,120,196.
Collier pointed out these
figures do not include nearly
$400,000 in local sales tax, nor
do they include funds spent
by the State within the Coun
ty for items such as State
highway construction, recre
ation, fish and game, etc.
