By HOWARD W. 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.
