BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor Seattle, Wash., June 18 UP) Two discoveries about chrom ium, an essential war mineral which the United States lacks, were reported to the American Association for the Advance ment of Science here today. A new source "of chromium has been found In the black sands of Oregon and a new sci entific method of locating chro mium promises to turn up more American deposits. Chromium makes stainless steel. It comes from Chromite, a mineral usually appearing in the form of heavy, black rocks. The country now imports half a million tons a year, and all the present known American depos its, if worked to exhaustion. would not supply chromium needs for more than two or three years. Geologists Reports The chromium reports were made by John Eliot Allen of Portland, state geologist of Ore gon. Oregon s black sands are deposits where the ocean once rolled in six miles farther than the present beaches, from Coos Bay and Marshfield, southward. The black sands lie in lens shaped formations. More important is the new prospecting technique. This is based on the discovery that the earth, in forming its crust, has laid down the semi-precious black rocks in regular forma tions. These may be parallel zones, or steps or crossed for mations somewhat like floor boards above beams. 229 Deposits Found Most of these deposits are small, where they appear at the surface. But with the know ledge of prehistoric formation, a geologist can take a known outcrop as his reference, and with a compass point to the places where other deposits will likely lie. Deposits have been traced in this way for five miles. Mr. Allen said that in Oregon 229 chromite bodies have been found, 42 of them big enough to yield more than 100 tons each and one probably 100,000 tons. Montana and California have the other principal known home deposits of chromite. Installation of DeMolay offi cers will be held Wednesday at 9 p. m. in Masonic temple.
