ed Lal — o old Digger’s Trail re (Continued from Page 1) in the hills, and as he was anxious to spend the Christmas holidays with his fiancee, he asked me if I would come up and take his place for a month while he went below to visit his lady. After he came back, I was acquainted enough. with the management to secure a job as solution man ‘tthe mill, so [ stayed on through the winter. The Valcalda mill had been designed by a man who. later became a first class attorney. He had evidently missed his vocation as a designer of mills, and some of us had to pay the penalty. . The foreman of the mill was a quick-tempered Irishman by the name of Pat O’Brien, and his job was ‘to.tear down the plant and rebuild it while it was running, and try to save as high a-percentage of the values in the ore as possible, while he was doing it. As We mill required complete rebuilding and the installation of new equipment, this was quite an undertaking. The net result was that all of the crew was working under strain, trying to make unusable equipment and ill-designed_buildings carry. on with ore extraction while-new-jequipment. was being introduced. We all worked long hours and our tempers were not of the best, including that of the foreman. It was a winter of heavy snow and cold, biting rind. The water lines froze, and some twenty-five men in one little bunkhouse had to get all water for cooking and drinking, as well as water for washing clothes, from melting tubs of snow over a hot stove. The result was that when our clothes became too dirty, we merely gave them a rest for a few days, I eventually landed on the graveyard shift—going to work at midnight and coming off at eight in the morning. For some reason best known to himself, the mill foreman kept me on this shift after my two weeks. wwas up. He worked at the mill on both day and afternoon shifts,.and apparently left it to me to keep things. going for the other eight hours. My stay lasted for one month, and finally three, and sleep became harder and harder to get as the sun came up earlier. . used to get home through the snowdrifts to the bunkhouse about eight thirty, eat a cold breakfast and drop into bed exhausted at nine in the morning, only to wake about eleven and find myself walking around my room, trying to reach a supposed lever or turn a valve on the =ilter press which . had brought along in my dreams. To make matters worse, as spring drew on . received a letter from my old partner, Tip, who bad gone up to Siskiyou County fishing at the close of his college term. His father was superintendent of the Nordheimer mine over on the Salmon River, and he. was enthusiastic about the beauty and comfort of the country. Yoel By Frances Ainsworth AQ .
