Anthony, Baker County, Oregon. Oct.89to28t1907%. Frank Stephens. Anthony is a mining camp situated at the forks of Eagle Creek, a tributary d Powder River. It is about 45 miles from Baker City on the Oregon Short Line and about 25 miles west of Snake River. It may be said to be in the southern foot- hills of a range of mountains known locally as the Granite Mountains, and marked on most maps as the Powder River Mountains. The correct name is probably the Wallowa Mountains. This region is in the Wallowa Forest Reserve. The southern slope of these mountains is very gentle and might best be characterized as a sloping plateau. The rise is so gentle that the mountains appear lower than they really are. Probably Mt. Hood is the only peak in Oregon higher than the highest peaks of the Wallowas. The plateau is well forested with fir, pine and larch. There are groves of aspens here and there and along the creek are some mountain cottonwoods. About three miles above Anthony, on East Eagle Creek is a considerable grove of lodge-pole pines. The others are yellow and "bull" A pines. There is not much underbrush except in the creek bottoms. The region is in the boreal zone. The winter snow fall is heavy and all the miners leave in the fall except a watchman. The camp is at about 3,700 feet altitude and the hills each side are 600 to 1,000 feet higher. At Anthony there is a summer post- office, this was discontinued for the winter when I arrived there. I have lost my notes on Anthony and these are from memory only.
