Large Miners Reported in Leland, Oregon

The following story was reported in the Rogue River Courier (now the Grants Pass Daily Courier) on November 20, 1901.

The Leland correspondent reports: "We have a miner who stands 7 feet 8 inches in his stocking feet.  If anybody in the country can beat that we will look over our miners again and perhaps we can find a bigger one.  Grave Creek is noted for its big men, also big women."
