Wealth and freedom of the Siskiyous in Briggs family tale
The Ashland Record notes the Briggs family living simply on a Siskiyou ridge placer claim, enjoying mountain life after wealth from a gold strike. Ray Briggs favors the mountains and modest living, while Mrs Briggs manages camp life and a frugal, contented home. A visit to Portland and stock market chatter add contrast to their rugged existence.
