Study Group Hears . Greenland Talk The Wednesday Study club was entertained at the last week's meet ing by Mrs. S. D. Nason, giving a travelogue of her trip to northern Greenland while her daughter. Miss Margaret, showed moving pictures they had taken. Close-ups of Eskimo families, their homes, icebergs and the frozen wastes of the northland gave the Study club members an excellent understanding of the country. Mrs. L. E. Williams gave the review of the Island. She said. "Greenland Is the largest island in the world with the exception of Australia and is tha most sparsely settled. It is a land of ice, no one having been able to get through the ice as far as has been sounded." Some soil has been deposited on the ice in the southern part and there ia a brush vegetation. Three and one half months of the year there is no sun. Mrs. Williams quoted from Ad miral Peary who in 1916 wrote: "Greenland might someday be come a powrehouse for U. S.. being well situated for a naval and aeronautical base. Fiords on the coast which are almost im pregnable could hold an entire navy. Greenland may be of cru cial importance in the future. In the hands of a hostile people it could be a great menace. In April. 1941, U.

To the Editor: Southwestern Oregon holds one of the two largest and most important deposits of chrome ore in the United States. This same district also embraces several of the most extensive manganese deposits in the west, as well as large and valuable quicksilver, antimony and gold mines. Yet many wonder why there isn't more development being done and more ore being shipped from this district. Lack of working capital with in the district for the building of roads, extension of development and actual mining of merchant able ore has forced mine-owners to go into surrounding states and to the cities in search of ma chinery and funds. Far more of intangible relief and remote promises were brought back than any real help secured. Some schemy promotions were set up, some stock has been sold and mine owners, in a vain thought of helping themselves, were induced to sign options of various kinds and lengths, tieing their properties up for months at a time in the hands of stran gers. Nothing happened. No help came. No development was even started. The miners decided there would be no more options on vague promises they would demand operation or let their properties remain idle. For a while all was quiet on the mining front; but now the itinerant option-hounds charge into Oregon from the east and south with a brand new Idea for the local boys a genuine Oper ating Contract. They call this new scheme an "operating con tract" and an "operating lease" or a "marketing lease." They call it anything necessary to get these disgusted and discouraged mine owners warmed up again. Then they spring a very short, simple document for Mr. Miner's signature. These "operators' scouts" they are no longer promoters talk loud and long about the best type of machinery and equipment to be used, where to put the roads, how soon they will be permitted access to the prop erty, whether railroad cars can be secured fast enough for their shipments, whether sufficient local laborers can be secured, or should they bring in men from the outside. These "scouts" talk "opera tion" and "shipping" so loud that the entranced miner can Just HEAR his long-held ore tumbling down the chutes into the trucks and on down the road into the railroad cars, as the scout, with the signed lease in his pocket. dashes into his car and tears outJ to San Francisco or some place after machinery and powder. Now down in the center of this "lease" are a few words just In cidentally giving the "operator" the right to BUY tha mine for some stated price. The operation is the big thing. The option part of the contract is spoken of softly and as if of little interest or importance. But this little OPTION clause is the whole of the contract and it li arranged to make the former options only "months" long look like infants. These new "operating contracts" but are free options on the mln are not operating contracts at all, ing property running for TEN YEARS some of them even longer. They lease the property, with option to buy, for a term of five years or so and with the privi lege of renewing at the end of that, for a like period. They are privileged to take ore from the property, but do not obligate themselves to do so; they agree to pay a certain fixed royalty for all ore marketed by them, but they do not agree to market any; they go even Into detail on how, and how frequently pay ments of royalties shall be; they agree to "commence" testing the property within most any time because the turn of a shovelful of dirt satisfies that promise; that is the ONLY THING they agree to do. They won't even agree to do the annual assess ment work, hoping, no doubt, that the mine owner will over look it. Scouts at Work These scouts are working this new scheme hard in this district now. They have even perfected the detail of securing local busi ness men, mostly real estate agents, to act as go-betweens sort of smoke screens to speed up the signing of these ten-year options. And it is working. They are pushing it fast and hard, using air transportation and speedy, expensive cars, to get everything possible tied up be fore the miners get wise to the scheme. It may be a part of some dia bolical, subversive scheme to cripple and prevent the mining and shipping of Oregon's vast tonnage of strategic and critical minerals; or it may be a deep- laid plan of wealthy promoters to sew up all of the best mines and hold them until prices rise, as they did in the first World War and then let loose for mil lions in profits. Whatever it Is It meant no good for mining in Oregon it's rotten to the core and the scheme should be exposed. We caution all mining people to have some honest, reliable, experienced mining person carefully exam ine any contract offered for sign ing, before executing it. H. WHEELER HUNT, 1220 E.
