193959792Gold Hill Jackson County OR: Murphy Murray Dredging Company ca. 1939-1941. Oblong 4to. 30 pp unpaginated. on thick black paper stock. With 43 silver gelatin photographs mounted w/ black corners sized from 2.75 x 3.75 in. up to 3.5 x 6 in. some date stamped on versos several w/ pencil annotations in cursive manuscript minor chipping to couple corners edgewear. Contemporary flexible ribbed black cloth post-binder nickel plated screwposts at gutter margins minor edgewear VG. This series of photographs captures the historic gold mining by the last gold dredge to operate on Foots Creek in Southern Oregon on the property of Edward Dole. Several dredges and placer mining operations mined Foots Creek from the 19th well into the 20th Century with one dredge owned by the Rogue River Gold Mining Co. known as the Ferry Dredge dredged both forks of Foots Creek until 1935 when it was moved to Graves Creek. Under the direction of “Wicks the Boss†this dredge was brought in unassembled by railroad in 1939 and “this was his 35th dredge.†The photos show the steel hull mass boom erecting the steel framework framing the steel gantries for the dredge installing the winches as well as the massive 67 bucket line ladder built by New York Engineering Co. Yonkers NY. The newly constructed dredge shown here proceeded to work it’s way up the creek digging 20 feet below the water line and moved 4000 yards daily through the screening and wash plant with conveyor belts stacking the tailings behind. In March 1941 just months before the attack on Pearl Harbor the dredge was dismantled and moved to another location by the Murray Dredging co. although mounds and walls of rock paralleling the creek still offer visible signs of its operation.

1924170069Hong Kong.: The South China Morning Post Ltd. circa1924. A fund raising poster in aid of World War I war orphans and children's charities organised by the Ministering Children's League at the Cercle Sportif Shanghai or Saigon Saturday April 12th at 3pm. 1924 76 x 50.5cm. <br>The original art work is in pencil and ink on tracing paper with some art work pasted down. It is fascinating to see the work in progress compared with the finished poster which is printed in black - on fragile paper but in very good condition. Original works from East Asia at this time are extremely scarce because of their ephemeral nature. Even though we have extensively researched this poster published by the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong there remains the possibility that this event could have taken place either in Cercle Sportif in Saigon or in Shanghai. <br> <br>Cercle Sportif Français- Shanghai. 1926 Rue Cardinal Mercier French Concession. <br>Known universally as the "French Club" this building was the home of Shanghai's most popular social and sporting clubs. Unlike the stuffier Shanghai Club and the American Club this was the most cosmopolitan club in town even extending its membership to women quelle horreur!; although to balance this madness female membership was limited to 40. The club featured a roof-top terrace for summer dances restaurants a ballroom restaurants bars billiards room and games room. For the more active there was a huge swimming pool and twenty tennis courts. <br>The clubhouse was designed by Shanghai's leading French architects Alexandre Leonard and Paul Veysseyre of Leonard Veysseyre et Kruze in the French Renaissance style. <br> <br>Cercle Sportif Saigon: The rebuilt Cercle Sportif Saïgonnais at 55 rue Chasseloup-Laubat was inaugurated on 5 December 1925 at “a brilliant reception attended by the Governor of Cochinchina and key notables of the colony.” <br> <br>According to a press release issued on 31 January 1926 by the Agence économique de l’Indochine the Cercle’s upgraded facilities included “10 tennis courts a football field with spectator stands which may rarely be found in France and comfortable buildings with rooms for fencing billiards games and reading a dance hall and vast changing rooms.” It concluded: “Saigon now has a club worthy of the colony which can easily be compared with those in Shanghai Hong Kong or Singapore.” <br> <br>The Ministering Children's League was founded by the Countess of Meath in her London house 83 Lancaster Gate February 10 1885. It owed its inception to the deep impression made upon Lady Meath about a child by M. L. Charles-worth's delightful story "Ministering Children." The idea of the book haunted her and she determined to form a society under that name. <br> <br>A small children's league thus started in a London parish would spread until it encircled the globe. It travelled quickly through the parishes of England was welcomed in Scotland and Ireland and crossed the Atlantic and rooted itself in the United States and in Canada. It had flourishing branches in Australia South Africa New Zealand and Tasmania and has penetrated to India China and Japan. As an international organisation it had no distinction of race colour or creed. . The South China Morning Post Ltd. unknown

This unusually well-preserved archive of a Roaring 20’s Jazz Orchestra musician and Band Leader in the Pacific Northwest reveals the exuberance and business success of this largely forgotten artist through his successful years before foundering during the Great Depression. Both scrapbooks open with clippings thank you and recommendation letters as well as dance broadsides and photographs during 1926 at the height of Lyle Lewis’s orchestra appreciation. Testimonials include B.J. Saad who owned the Garden Dancing Palace and stated “I have taken the Garden which is second to no other ballroom west of Chicago. That is why I have secured Lyle Lewis recognized as one of the best orchestra leaders on the Coast.†C.W. Craig of Lipman Wolfe & Co. department store extolls that Jazz music dance held at the Multnomah Hotel March 16 1926 that “I don’t think we have ever enjoyed better or more up to date dance music than that furnished by your splendid aggregation.†Broadsides and notices advertise the Lewis Jazz Orchestra playing the Grand Ball Room at the Masonic Temple Congress Hotel leading McElroy’s Oregonians at the McElroy’s Spanish Ballroom the Dessert Hotel Oasis near Spokane parties for Studebaker and more. One of the mounted letters includes a rather sad severance letter signed by Cole McElroy explaining the circumstances of Lyle Lewis’s leaving stating “I realise that you were a victim of circumstances. On account of the fact that you had a fine band organized. . . certain music masters of the theatre jobs saw fit to take your men away from you thereby breaking up your fine band and forcing me to make a deal for another organization.†McElroy 1888-1947 was known as “Pop†McElroy was a popular band leader who during the years before World War I and after played the Palm Gardens often and had great success in his McElroy Spanish Ballroom which opened in 1926 and then opened another Seattle McElroy Ballroom in 1928. Several TLS on letterheads include those for KXL Radio station KGW Radio Station and the KOIN Studio Director for The Portland News which played three nights a week on air for over six months. The many photographs capture the Lyle Lewis band joking around with their instruments on the road fully arrayed on stage in the Radio Station posing at various venues stages and even one as late as 1939 conducting the Lyle E. Lewis Dance Orchestra. The band included Cluet Mansfield formerly with Henry Halsted band William Webber on drums Eddie Scroggins & Frank Champion as sax players G. Berardinelli on Bass and also played dances at the Irvington Club Multnomah Athletic Club and for a while with the historic Congress Hotel in Portland which had been the City’s first reinforced concrete building erected during the Progressive Era and by 1924 expanded to 119 rooms with vibrant Jazz ballroom. The daily diaries for 1929 and 1930 show that Lewis regularly played at the Cotillion Hall now the Crystal Ballroom initially at $ 7.00 per night in 1929 and then steadily dropping to less than half by 1933. He writes about traveling for a gig in San Francisco with Mansfield in 1929 leaving Tuesday and arriving Wednesday Sept. 18 1929 driving 40 mph and getting 19 miles to the gallon with a drive made in 19 hours and 15 minutes. He played extensively at the Bungalow Club in Seaside OR which had opened originally June 19 1920 and for more than 25 years was the destination for the biggest names in the Big Band Jazz era including Lyle E. Lewis Cole McElroy Duke Ellington Bob Crosby Glenn Miller and tragically became connected with the death of Jimmie Lunceford who died from a heart attack just before playing his last set at the Bungalow after playing McElroy’s Ballroom in Portland 2 nights before. Lewis 1890-1948 was a popular Portland Oregon based jazz band & orchestra leader who managed to lie about his age and enlist at 15 in the Oregon National Guard Co. G 3rd Battalion served for three years and in May 1910 married Genevieve Franklin while working as salesman and musician before World War I Following the War he quickly became a successful band leader including successful stints with the Cole McElroy Spanish Ballroom Congress Hotel Multnomah Hotel Bungalow Garden Ballroom as well as the Coronado Hotel in California. As indicated by the daily diaries he maintained a fairly close relationship with his daughter Genevieve “Martha†but became largely estranged from his wife Genevieve living in separate rooming houses or hotels. Still in her position as a sales manager she managed to convince Meier & Frank to hire him as their house band for store functions and the restaurant while during the Great Depression he mostly worked for the US Forest Service mapping division while his show business largely disappeared. By 1943 he became the commercial agent for ACME Fast Freight where he worked as commercial agent until his death. This cataloguer could find no surviving recorded discography record for Lyle E. Lewis and his assorted incarnations although there are a few recordings for the Cole McElroy Band from 1926-1928 which most likely would have included him as band leader and musician. Lyle E.
