<DIV><STRONG>Babe - </STRONG><STRONG>Wasn't it you that wanted to know more
about the old town of Mineral, Idaho? </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Maybe you could get this book on Inter-Library Loan. I found
quite a few references to Mineral in the index, and the photos are <U>not</U>
indexed. The book: <U> SAINTS, SINNERS AND SNAKE RIVER SECRETS</U>,
by Lillian Cummings Densley, Copyright 1987, Second Printing - 1990. The
ISBN is 0-9623748-0-6 and it was published by THE RECORD-COURIER PRINTERS;
BAKER, OREGON 97814. I bought this book at a nice book store in Baker
years ago. They've changed the towns name to Baker City
now.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>I didn't find your Pickler name in the index. I did
find lots of names under pictures that were <U>not</U> in the index
and I haven't checked all of them. There's a 1929 picture of the
Mineral School facing page 29. If your family lived down by the Snake
River, I'm sure you'd enjoy this book! Mrs. Densley also illustrated the
book with Melvin Whitney's charming original artwork. Those were really
rugged folks who lived in that desolate part of Oregon and Idaho! This
book has a handdrawn and labled map that will show you where Mineral
was and where the people in the book lived at that time. Our friend Melvin
Whitney, wrote in this book: "When Brownlee Dam went in, it put most of
the ranchers out of business....." </STRONG></DIV>
