MOUNT SHASTA "The Last of
Vanishing Race" is an epitaph
that can well be placed over Uie
last resting place of Cowboy Jack
Schultz when that old timer finally
consents to cross the Great Di
vide. Last of the old time freight
wagon drivers of the biskivous.
Schultz. not old by standards of
years, but ancient in the years
of experience, has seen several
eras come and go.
The teamster was driving a two-
wagon, six mule rig for John Dag
gett away from the Black Bear
Mine near Forks of Salmon about
he turn of the century. He was
then a veteran of 15 years of
age. He has also taken his two-
wagon, six mule outfit into everv
mine in Northern California that
had a wagon road. And taken
pack outfits where there were noth
ing but trails.
Born in Henley, near Hornbrook.
anuary 31. 1085, Schultz was too
old for the draft in World War I
He enlisted in the 164th Oreson.
California volunteers, and saw
much service in many of the hot
spots in Belgium and France. It
was while carrying a disabled com
rade out of danger at Chateau
Thierry that he earned a gold
acorn, an emblem he wears today.
This still enthusiastic old-timer
has lollowed many occupations.
But, he stresses, he never did a
lick ol work that didn't call lor a
horse or mule "When it's too Imivh
for a herse or mule, it'j loo lough
for Cowboy Jack," he says firmly.
The life of a cowpoke is well
known to him, as well as running
a pack string for the U.S. Forest
Service, freight rigs, and even ,
the racing and rodeo circuit.
It is while discussing the fwe
latter lines of endeavor that Cow
boy Jack appears on the verge of
being sorry for himself. He says:
"My 135 pounds was too heavy
for a jockey, and not heavy enough
to handle the rough string, or bull
dog big steers. But I gave both a
good try."
One feat that Schultz wants to
see some modern teamster try is
to turn a two wagon, six horse
rig on Yrcka's Miner Street, as
he did many times. He savs to
day's freighters couldn't drive a '
hay rack past a Volkswagon with
out upsetting both rigs.
Now convalescing in reka. the
old mountaineer is awaiting deer
season, and a trip into the high
country. "I'll come back chawin'
jerkey," he says, "and it won't be
doe meat, neither."
Cowboy Jack has no time for
either sex deer hunters.
