This is tlie gate at the top of the hill through which all now liv
ing must pass. The enclosure is carpeted with vivid green, shaded
by laufel and by oak and by stately pine; it overlooks the fair coun
try which Its inhabitants knew. Its air is made fragrant by clusters
of lilac, the lavender, that of old memories, too.
The plot is the last home of the Davlins and Nichols, the Smiths
and McGuires; the Leonards, Bolsingers and Byrons. Lying near
Brockway, James Davlin gave it for the enduring use of his neigh
boring friends. Well kept and serene, it is secluded but not lonely;
it hints at that peace which all of us hope for but which so few
ever live to attain. It proves somehow that the troubles we fret
over are nothing at all in the eternity of time which eventually
we gain.

PICK AND SHOVEL NOT ENOUGH
Prospecting For Uranium
Requires Certain Gadgets.
Knowledge Of Geology
By FRANK E. CAREY
Associated Press Science Reporter
WASHINGTON. IIP) You've got to have more than a pick, and
shovel and a hopeful heart to go prospecting for uranium the
"gold dust" of the atomic age.
The Atomic Energy Commission has come out with a booklet
giving some of the low-down on how to search for uranium ore
the precious stuff that's used to make bombs as well as peacetime
products of atomic energy.

The whole idea of issuing the
booklet, says the commission, is
to stimulate more .prospecting
for uranium.
But
You've got to bone up on a
little geology.
You've got to be a handy-man
with a Geiger counter, an instru
ment for detecting radioactivity.
And, it would be a big help,
too, if you'd load into your mod
ern covered wagon such gear as
ultra-violet lamps, photographic
plates or film, a metal key, an
instrument called a "scintllli
scope" and another called an
"electroscope."
All of these are aids in spot
ting the pay dirt.
The commission's 123-page
booklet goes into detail on how to
detect the stuff and how to iden
tify it when you find it, but 't
gives only very general informa
tion on the big question: where?
That's something the AEC boys
would like to know themselves.
$10,000 Bonus Pasted
The commission has even set
up a kind of jackpot to encour
age modern 49-ers to get in there
and dig. This is a bonus of $10,
000 "for the discovery of a new
deposit and the production there
from of the first 20 short tons of
uranium ore . . . assaying 20
per cent or more uranium oxide."
iou can Duy tne dookici ior
30 cents from the government
nrintine office. Those three
dimes may put you in the chips,
because the AhL promises to
pay a minimum price of $3.50 a
pound for uranium oxide.
Here s a little on tne detection
tests described in case you want
to start laying in equipment:
A Geiger counter gives audible
"clicks" when there's radioactive
material nearby. But you've got
to get some fairly big-league
clicking before you can be cer
tain tne trail is not. uosmic rays
in the atmosphere can activate
the instrument, too, and these
may fool you. (Remember: You
can't sell cosmic rays.)
Pointers On Test
If you find some rocks you
think might contain uranium,
take them into a dark room. Put
a metal key on some photo
graphic film and then lay the
rock on top of the key. If you
get an image of the key on the
developed film, you may be well
on your way to paying off the
mortgage.
Another test: If your mineral
glows under ultra-violet light,
you may have made a strike.
The ''scintilliscope" is an In
strument that produces bright
flashes of light from radioactive
material.
The "electroscope" is a gadget
that has two leaves of gold which
come together in the presence of
raaioactivity.
You May Dig Anywhere
Will an AEC cop be after you
if you go searching for uranium
some place other than your own
property? No sir.
upen to prospectors for urani
um (another radioactive materi
al) are the "vacant and unap
propriated public lands" in the
states of Arizona, Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Florida, Idaho,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Oregon, South
Dakota, Utah, Washington and
Wyoming, and the territory of
Alaska. So are certain national
monuments and one national
park Mt. McKInley.
You can even dig on your
neighbor's land, if you get his
permission.
If you make a strike on a pub
lic land and establish a claim,
the commission reserves the right
to go and remove the uranium
or thorium itself. It says this
right "protects the government
from, among other things, a
Mrs. E. E. Kilpatrick, Merrill;
Mrs. Henry Kopacz, Hermiston,
and Mrs. Robert Thomas, Port
Orford.
A check for $25,000 was turned
over to President A. L. Strand to
be held by the O. S. C. Foundation
until $20,000 more is raised to
build a student cooperative living
group house on the O. S. C. camp
us. This Azalea House, named in
honor of Mrs. Azalea Sager, state
leader of home economics exten
sion, is to serve both as a student
living center for women and as a
headquarters for the state coun
cil when it holds its annual meet
ings. Douglas County women during
the last two years have contrib
uted nearly $700 toward this proj
ect Mrs. John Bacon, Umpqua,
has served as county Azalea
House chairman. Each extension
unit in the county also has an
Azalea House chairman.

You'd get paid for any damage
or Injury caused by this action
and for your services of discov

the uranium or thorium the AEC
removed.
The AEC says, however, It
would not be its policy to exer
cise this right except "in case
of emergency."
Unemployment Jumps To
New Postwar Mark
WASHINGTON, June 7. )
Unemployment jumped 273,000 in
May to a new postwar peak of
3,289,000.
The census bureau, reporting
this today, commented that "or
dinarily unemployment drops Be
tween April and May and the in
crease this year was, therefore,
contrary to seasonal expecta
tions." It said one reason the number
of job seekers outside of farm
ing rose faster than the num
ber of job opportunities was be
cause school age youths turned
out for summer or post gradua
tion work.
Because of the seasonal up
swing in farming, employment
moved up, climbing 875,000 In
May to a total of 58,694,000
slightly above the same point
last year.
