Many of the oldtimers have stock certificates like this one tucked away, purchased during any of the several) gold rushes in southern Lake County. The pageant will depict more than a century of mining progress from the "Blue Bucket" discovery in 1847 up to and including today's uranium development. Man's Search For Gold To Be Theme Of Pageant LAKKV1EW - Mining, in its ar- Ions phases, has been taken for granted in most ol Ihe West a: part of the history and legend of the region, usually eenlenng around man's frantic search for gold. This year, Ihe Lake County his torical pageant will he built around mining as its central theme. Con siderahle research was done by I'.rnest McKinney, president of Ihe pageant association, who wrote the script. J he story is told as a con versation between two lishermen with lour scenes used to portray the background. As Ihe slory goes, many miners went through here on their way to Sacramento in 1U4II .Some of the oldtimers made a good living acling as guides lor these parties and bringing in supplies lor the army. One of the earliest set tlers in Ihis area, David Junes, worked for the army in Mlili. His daughter, Mrs. Alice Laird, still Jives in Lake County. It is told that a small group of hardy pioneers headed into Lake County from Ihe Harney side, look ing for a heller wagon route and exploring new country. The year was 1847. hiilter s gold and the '4!lers had yet to appear on the American scene. One of (he wom en in the parly had gone to a nearby spring for water for the camp. Along the trail she discov ered some odd looking rocks. As tonished at their weight, she picked up a lew iind put them in her blue granite pail. A near-riot start ed at camp when it was discovered she had a small fortune in gold nuggets in the bucket. The discov cry spot could not be found again and to Ihis day, no one has lound the suiiitc of Lake Connly's firsl gold strike. There are many who believe a fortune of gold slill awaits Ihe finder somewhere this side of the Sleens Mountains. Thou sands of dollar's have been spent In the fruilless search. The next real interest in gold occurred in Ihe 1H70S when the val ley was divided into two districts. Some claims were filed but the rush died. Gold showed up again in 11106 in the Windy Gulch area A few "monlhs earlier, Peter-Lor-entzen found some nuggets in the fiidwell country while hunting lost sheep. Claims were filed so close logelher and the prospectors he eame so thick that "you couldn't light a campfire wilhout burning some neighbors in Ihe seat of the pants, according to comment of Ihe day. However, no real gold vein was found, but today there is mining activity in the area again as cmnebar deposits qrc being tapped. About the same time there was gold taken out of the High Grade district on top of the mountain range and in the New Pine Creek area. There is an old stamp mill near the summit and huge piles of tailings. 1 he face of Lakeview is chang ing today since the discovery ol uranium depnsils in 1(132. A local imateur geologist, Don Tracy, is credited 'with the early discoover- ics. He and his wile were rock bounds and were inleresting 4-11 (Tub youngsters in their hobby. Tracy became interested in uran ium but Ihe assay of early samples was discouraging, lie studied min eralogy al night and did his pros pecting by rock formations and color rather than using a Geiger counter,. In 1D5:1 he located some rock in the Thomas Creek section which had definile uranium traces. Wait Leehmann Jr., Lake County sheepman, aided Tracy by bring ing in rock samples' and telling him about a cave at Clover Hal where Tracy ran across Ihe ore which is making Lake County his lory. He brought in John Itoush and the two prospected Ihe cnlire valley, laying a series of adjoining claims. (lelgtY counters became stand- ard equipment for a good share of Ihe local population and most of the visitors. When the rush settled down, it appears Ihere are only a few worthwhile claims and these Reverend To Address Worship Service Rev. John Pedersen, in charge of the Klamath Falls Gospel Mis sion, will be guest speaker Sun day, August 17, at the morning worship service at the First Meth odist Church. He will speak on the mission which was founded here a few months ago to help care for men out of work and out of funds. There will be special violin mu sic by Dean llalbert accompanied by Carol Ross.
