MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1941. PAGE FIVB MITCHELL HOLDS TO MINING THEORY AFTER NEW STUDY Jacksonville Mine r-Writer Stands By Belief On Quartz Vein Openings. By Russell Mitchell (Jacksonville, Ore.) In a previous article I made the statement that the openings in a quartz vein at the surface Indicate what the primary ore will be at depth. Several miners have challenged that statement and it has caused me to studv the problem further. I am more fully convinced of Its truth than before and perhaps an explana tion will help others in pros pecting below water level. One man, in all good faith and sincerity, showed me his prospect. It is one of the most beautiful prospects for a gold mine I have had the pleasure to examine. He had milled ex ceptionally good quartz for hundreds of feet near the sur face. The free gold itself would be a bonanza if he had proper mining and milling equipment. (This is in no wise an advertise- menu, ine quartz is nam, oiue and rusty. The gold is prac tically all free the rust In this case is not rich in fine gold. The DIAL 1340 Kilocycles on Your Radio Sat., Nov. 29 OREGON vs. ORE. STATE Football Gam Broadcast begins 1:45 p. m.

One ( tO , 7 bottle doesn't take the 'ff' f edge off your enjoyment l,j7yl k ' openings or eroded areas in the quartz indicate chalcopyritcs and the amount of free sold in relation to the percentage of mineral in the quartz indicates exceptionally good value in the primary ore. Of course, his free gold represents an accumulation of secondary deposits down ward, but the walls and other features make it an exceptional prospect for good ore at depth. Found Worthless At one point in the tunnel he sank down into quartz that showed considerable sulphides both iron and lead. When he assayed them, he found them practically valueless. H e thought I was on a stump be cause I predicted good primary ore. Here is the point made In another article that miners here particularly should watch: the first sulphides probably wi'l not conform to the openings in the quartz and in that case they themselves are secondary. His sulphides were simply straight pyrites, not chalcopyrites; there fore he has not yet reached his primary ore. Obviously, with practically all his gold free his secondary sulphides are poor If the gold had been carried downward and deposited with the sulphides, then his free gold would have cut off about where the secondary sulphides began and they would have been ex tremely rich. As it is, he still has free gold in the sulphides. However, he will probably not find it so when he reaches the true primary deposit. Undoubt edly, he will find, if he mines it enough, hot spots of primary gold but his mining it success fully will depend on saving the chalcopyrites. Cites Other Case I know of another case In the Steamboat district where a large body of free gold quartz was found and milled. The miners set up a table expecting to ship concentrates but found that they did not pay. They at tributed their failure to mixing too many sulphides from the wall rock into the ore. The truth was that the sulphides in ithe vein itself were no good. If they had applied the prin ciple stated in this and other articles, they would have saved the expense of the table be cause the sulphides themselves were secondary and the gold, having been thrown out of them by chemical processes that left it free, left the sulphides barren. That vein now carries a black-eye but because of the amount of free secondary gold above and knowing they never reached the primary ores, I would not hesitate to prospect It below water level.

High Cost of Living Bringing Complaints In Increasing Flood Washington, Nov. 27.- The nieces and nephews are be ginning to needle Uncle Sam in increasing numbers about the I high cost of living. In two and a half months. between September 1 and No-. vemoer 10, me omce oi price administration received 1,300 individual protests and demands that "somebody do something about it," officials said today. The total ran one-third higher than the number of complaints during the previous seven months. Chief target of consumers Is the cost of food In general and the cost of meat, eggs and dairy products in particular. Most complaints came from California and New York, with Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, New Jersey, and Massachusetts trailing in that order. OPA of ficials, however, reported not a I single proiesi irom ievaau, New Mexico, South Dakota and Vermont.

Washington. Nov. 27. (IP) Secretary of the Navy Knox told his press conference today he had not profited from the sale of magazine articles pub- lisned under nls name He opened the subject by ex plaining that while he expected, a public official, he would have to "take it" from time to time "there were a couple of items yesterday which got my goat and I want to read them to you." He then read editorials which he said had been recently pub lished in the Waterloo, Iowa, Courier and Jacksonville, Fla., Times-Union. The Courier said among other things that the secretary had been selling to magazines infor mation denied to newspapers and the Times-Union charged that he had been "peddling se cret information." Had Ghost Writer Knox said that the magazine articles had appeared under hlf name because "a part of my job as I get it is to publicize and popularize the navy." He related that normally the articles which had appeared in various magazines were written by a magazine staff writer with the aid of some naval officer and were checked by Knox who maae suggestions in sucn time as he had available for that work. The first article was publish ed in the Saturday Evening Post, nothing had been said about remuneration, and "I was considerably surprised when I got a check for $1,000," the secretary continued. He said that he had this money divided between the magazine staff writer who wrota the article and the naval offi cer who collaborated with him but that Knox himself received nothing.
