**
The death of J. E. Yoder, 73-year
old Alaskan argonaut and retired
wealthy miner of Stevens county,
removes one of the most colorful
mining characters of Washington,
according to the Denver Mining
Record.
Yoder, who knew the lore of the
mountain ledges and had roamed
the placer camps of the far north
and the gold “diggins” of the West
without much success, finally had
homesteaded in northern Washing
ton. With a smattering knowledge
of geology, whenever he could find
any one who would listen to him
he recited on rocks, especially gold
rocks.
He was destined to come into
possession of riches from the rocks,
but not from the yellow metal, and
not from any prospecting skill. A
blast brought him wealth from the
mountain fastness, but not a dy
namite blast, but one from the
heavans, a terrific bolt of lighning,
which yankel a large fir tree from {
the ground like a radish tore from
its garden bed.
This happened when a thunder
storm in July of 1915 whipped the
top of Gladstone mountain, Joseph
Johnson, a Swedish prospector cut
ting wood in the region, stumbled
across the fallen tree, and rubbed
his eyes. The roots were studded
with fragments of pure, shining
galena, an ore of lead, and in the
shallow excavation made by the
torn roots the hole had the ap
pearance of ornamentation because
of the abundance of rich ore.
Then Yoder stumbled across
Johnson and acquired a half in
terest. What he paid for it is not
known, although it was believed to
have been not more than $5,000. He
rang in his pal from Alaska gold
hunting days, Roy A. Young, on
a 50-50 basis in the interest, altho
Yoder was believed to have paid for
it all. Young was one man Yoder
liked, and whether Young had no
coin to pay for the interest didn’t
bother Yoder.
