FRANK LYSTRUP'S SERVICE GARAGE Mechanical Work by “Rick’’ Rickey Corner Spring &. Pine examining station,’’ Genera] Clark has impressed upon all his staff, “isthe psychological moment to point out to the prospective soldier that, if inducted, he will become a member of the mightiest peacetime army in the history of his. country — dedicated. to the preservation of peace! “In one short step he will cross the threshold of civilian life into the ‘simple, ‘hard and active life of a soldier. He will be treated with courtesy «and dignity, but will not be coddled. He will have opportunity to learn that the basic tenets of success and reward in army life are. fundamentally similar to those that earn promotion and better returns in civilian life. ‘“‘Loyalty and co-operation with his fellow soldiers and instructors will win him rewards.” As the first induction drew near, General Clark reiterated that “enactment. of Selective Service legislation in no way lessens the intensity of the voluntary enlistment campaign in the Sixth Army area.’ Inductee quotas will be based on the number of men needed to augment those enlisted on a volunteer basis, to fill the requirements of the authorized expansion of the-armed forces. The examining stations’ to which registrants will report for pre-induction processing are located at Army and Air Force Main Recruiting stations in the following cities: CALIFORNIA: Sacramento, .Fresno, bara, San Bernardino, géles, and San Diego.

Maybe I go again some day.”’ But Happy Jack couldn’t take it. Our tent lay on the bar some five hundred feet below the ditch line. Occasional breaks in the ditch would bring down a slide of rock. This worried Jack immensely. “Some night when sleepum everybody, that water go WHOOSH-<and take us all off in Salmon River. I no like. Goodbye. You give me money tomorrow. . go.”’ And he did, to our amusement and also to our regret, because he was very entertaining. We did not stop to clean up our riffles till about two months had passed, as we did not want to lose water time. But when we did do so, results were very disappointing. Our bedrock cut and string of sluice boxes was only about a hundred feet long, Our limited water made it necessary for us to impound in front of our boxes and then sluice the gravel through with a rush, instead of having a regular flow. So when the first cleanup only yielded about two hundred dollars for two month’s work, I. went*out on the dump and panned the gravel which had been washed through the boxes. To my amazement, it panned even better than the original gravel in the bank. We had been washing the gold through our boxes and over our riffles at .a terrific rate. For the rest of the season we tried to correct this error, but when our water gave out entirely, and we had our final cleanup, we had only about five hundred dollars more for all our work. The total cleanup for four men, working every day for four months, was about seven hundred dollars. And out of this came powder for blasting boulders, tools, lumber, pipe, food, and all expenses. We found ourselves in debt to the Igeal store for several hundred dollars, and all of our original capital investment was up the spout. Tip and . went to work on the county trails to pay up our debts, and worked for most-of the summer, but we did have a little time in the fall to go up and do some work on our. quartz prospect.
Originally named the “Bonny Jean’’ after a college romance of Tip’s, we had changed the name of this property to the “Johnny Bean,’” because of the staple article of our diet while working. A day or two before going up on the Nordheimer, we had ordered a couple of mule loads of supplies from the store, and taken a shortcut up the creek with the idea of getting to our camp the same evening that our supplies were supposed to get there. We had a thirty calibre rifle with us, but had used most of our shells during the day. When_we arrived at the camp, we found that the. pack train had not. A change in plans had held the order over for a day. There was nothing in the cabin to eat except a can of stale lard left over from the year before and a small cruet of salt: But we had one shell left for our gun. So I decided to go out and look for a grouse. It was late afternoon, and we could hear them drumming. Tip stayed in camp to cut some fir boughs for beds, and it was up to me to get something with that one shell, or we would go hungry for another twenty-four hours. A hundred yards out of camp . jumped a big male grouse into a fir tree. As was the habit of his kind, he kept the trunk of the tree between him and myself, just sticking an inquiring head out to look ot. Me; . I hesitated a long time before . fired that shot. . aimed again and again, and the mark seemed very small. But the light was failing withe setting sun, so finally I pulled the trigger with a deep bead on his head. To my astonishment, he_.came flopping down out of the tree at my feet. I had cut-his head clean off with a thirty-thirty bullet. Needless to say, I was a proud boy when . got back to camp. And so we did not have to go supperless to bed that night. Next day the packs arrived, and all was well. That winter I got a job as a humble sluice tender at one of the local mines, and commenced to learn the trade. By spring . had become a piper and finally foreman of the mine—and . knew what it was all about.
