LACK OF INCENTIVE CHOKES OFF
PRODUCTION OF METALS IN STATE;
COUNTY MINE DEVELOPMENT CITED
Production of non-metallics
characterized the mining indus
try in Oregon in 1949, according
to the latest edition of The Ore
Bin, a publication of the state
department of geology and min
eral industries.
In an article called "A Review
of Oregon Mining in 1949", F.
W. Libbey, director of the de
partment, says metal mining
continues to decline because the
profit incentive required to find
and develop mines is almost
completely lacking. Last year
there was a further falling off
in metal mining in the state
when the Bonanza quicksilver
mine in Douglas county closed
down late in the year.
Local Plant Operates
The relatively high rate of
production of non-metallics in
1948 was continued, Libbey
wrote, with the three portland
cement plants at Oswego, Lime
in Baker county, and at Gold
Hill operating at capacity
throughout the year.

quarried steadily during 1949 by
the Bristol Silica company of
Rogue River. The output was
used for poultry grit and foun-
ury luriiuce umngs.
Reporting on exploratory
operations, in this part of the
state Libbey said development
worn was undertaken m the
area of the historic Gold Hill
"pocket" where a lenticular
body of molybdenite was uncov
ered in bulldozing. A nickel de
posit at the Shamrock mine in
nortnern Jackson county was
explored on the surface and bv
underground work by the Unit
ed States bureau of mines. The
bureau s work at this property
was a continuation of work
started in 1948 following an in
vestigation by the state depart
ment of geology and mineral in
dustries. Ore there is said to con
s i s t of pyrrhotite carrying
nicKei, copper ana a small quan
tity of cobalt.
Early in 1949 scheelite was
found in the granite area near
Ashland. Two shipments of the
ore were made to a tungsten con
centrating mill in California.
Libbey said his department is
making an . investigation of the
area including topographic and
geologic mapping designed to ob
tain a structural pattern of the
occurrences in order to assist
prospecting.
Oil prospecting was carried on
during 1949 in the Harney val
ley near Burns where Weed and
Poteet No. 1 was drilled by the
United Company of Oregon,
Medford firm, to a depth of
6,480 feet and abandoned. A
fire destroyed equipment at this
test early in December, 1949.
Previously the United company
had drilled to a depth of 4.500
feet in Fay No. 1 and suspended
drilling in favor of the Weed and
Poteet No. 1.
Commenting on Oregon's wan
ing gold mining industry, Libbey
says there are only a lew rem
nants of what was once the
backbone of the state's metal
production. He said the' decline
was caused partly by the ill et-
fects of the war production
board order which closed gold
operations down without re
course in 1942, and partly by the
fixed price of gold in relation to
the low value of the dollar meas
ured by what it will buy in labor
and supplies.
Christian University in Japan
Goal of Local Committee's Drive
Declaring that "a friendly,
democratic Japan is of vital im
portance to the people of the
united states and Canada, a
local committee reported yester
day how they will launch a
building fund campaign here this
month to raise funds for an In
ternational Christian university
at Tokyo, Japan.
The fund drive, in which
young people will figure prom
inently, has as its goal $10 mil
lion to complete the project
which is already well underway.
The local campaign is headed
by Mrs. Harlan P. Bosworth, and
by Dr. Bert Elliott who will
serve as co-chairman. During the
time that Dr. Elliott is abroad,
Mrs. Bosworth will actively head
the local drive, set for the week
of April 16-23.
George P. Goodman Jr., a
Medford high school senior, and
Miss Earlene Rogers, Medford,
who is attending Southern Ore
gon college, will act as youth
co-chairmen. Others on the local
committee are: Mrs. W. T. Frost,
George Flanagan, Robert Dames,
Mrs. Victor Birdseye, the Rev.
George R. V. Bolster, the Rev.
Holly Jarvis, the Rev. Meredith

Residents of Medford and vi

The name selection method has
been announced by the park ad
visory committee appointed last
week by Mayor Diamond Flynn.
L. J. Cox, chairman of the ad
visory group, said yesterday that
voting will commence on Mon-
New City Park Name Ballot
(Note: Voting open to residents of Medford and vicinity.
Submit ballot between April 3 and midnight, April 12 to Park

day, April 3, and continue until
midnight Wednesday, April 12.
Suggestions will be judged
and the winning name picked by
the committee with their choice
to be approved by the city coun
cil. Not A Contest
Cox pointed out that the park
name poll is not a contest. No
prizes are planned. However,
some sort of recognition, yet to
be decided, will be made for the
winning choice. It is probable
that a number of people will
suggest the name judged best by
the committee, Cox stated.
Ballot forms are being pub
lished in Medford newspapers,
the first appearing in the Mail
Tribune today. Ballots are to be
mailed to Park Name Poll, City
Hall. Medford, Ore.
With the completion of most
facilities, particularly the swim
ming pool, this spring, Medford's
newest park is expected to to be
come a center of recreation and
celebration activities of the com
munity. To celebrate this latest
public recreational development,
city officials are contemplating
gay dedication ceremonies.
Celebration Planned
The ask of planning the dedi
cation has been placed in the
hands of the advisory commit
tee, Cox, Mrs. Richard Payne,
Victor Milnes, James Dunlevy
and Darell Huson. Actual date
of the ceremonies probably will
depend on advance weather fore-
A. Groves and Elliott Becken.
Cooperating are Elwood Hed
berg and Robert Templeton.
In a statement just released,
the committee says that if Japan
is to achieve democracy, it must
have a new type of education
which fosters independent think
ing to replace the authoritarian
teaching of the past. ICU is plan
ned to provide leadership in that
direction. The ultimate goal is a
comprehensive university with
graduate schools in the most im
portant fields of knowledge and
professional education. The im
mediate purpose is to establish
those programs most urgently
needed that can be adequately
supported financially.
Japan's most crucial needs are
for highly trained leaders in
three fields of public service:
education, public administration
and social service. Therefore,
the committee said, the univer
sity plans to begin with the es
tablishment of three graduate
schools of professional caliber to
meet these needs and a four
year under-graduate college of
liberal arts.
The Japanese themselves have
already demonstrated their ap
proval of the project. Under the
chairmanship of Hisato Ichi
mada, governor of the Bank of
Japan, a fund-raising campaign,
produced a total of 154 million
yen (more than $420,000 Ameri
can.) Ninety-five per cent of the
contributors were non-Christians
but their reason for giving was
probably something like Ichi
mada's: "I am not a Christian.
However, I have come to the con
clusion that nothing but a Chris
tian philosophy underlying Jap
an's democracy will ever put us
through."
The funds raised In Japan
have made possible the purchase
of a 350-acre property at Mitaka,
17 miles northwest of Tokyo. A
number of buildings included in
the purchase will be suitable,
after remodelling, for class
rooms and other educational
purposes.
Additional funds totaling
$1,100,000 have been contribut
ed by American and Canadian
church boards. The $10 million
is now being sought in nation
wide appeals in the United
States and Canada to provide
the additional buildings, equip
ment and endowment needed to
establish the first units of the
university.

Customs of 'Good Old Days7 Revealed
In Reading Two 19th Century Papers
War and peace, common sub
jects of today's newspapers and
radio commentators, were no
less common in the "good old
days." At least so it would seem,
in a glance at "Fireside Rev
eries," published in Rochester,
N. Y., June 1894, and described
as "devoted to choice home lit
erature and miscellany."
A front-page drawing shows
"Three European Rulers, emper
ors of Russia, Austria and Ger
many, arbiters of peace or war
in Europe." The three rulers
appear to be pondering the prob
lem on paper much the same as
in photographs of today's "ar
biters." Delinquency Problem
Juvenile delinquency was evi
dently a problem then too, for
three pages are devoted in mu
sic and lyrics to "Since Kitty
Went Away," telling the story
of a wayward daugher who left
"the dear old homestead."
A copy of "The Household
Companion," published January
1880, includes an article on the
history of coffee, staling "This
little brown berry was unknown
two hundred years agq, or only
used by uncivilized Abysinnians
but now all through the East
coffee is considered quite as in
dispensable as the pipe, and
throughout Europe and our own
country it is classed among the
necessaries of life, sought for
and, as far as possible, used, by
rich and poor. Literary people
and men of business have
learned to feel they cannot enter
upon their morning labors until
they have braced themselves up
with a cup of coffee. The whole
social life in many nations seems
based upon this insignificant
bean."
Floweri Banished
Under horticultural hints it
states, "Not many years ago
window gardening seemed uni
versally popular. Then came all
sorts of heaters, furnaces and il
luminating gas instead of the
good old-fashioned open fires,
grates and candles, and the pret
ty room flowers were banished
to houses of those in moderate
circumstances."
Several pages are devoted to
the ever-popular subjects among
women, domestic hints and fash
ions. Of particular interest is a
recipe for marrow pudding:
Grate a large loaf of bread and
pour on the crumbs a pint of
rich milk, boiling hot. When
cold, add four eggs, a pound of
beef marrow sliced thin, with
sugar and nutmeg to your taste.
Mix well together and bake it.
When done, stick slices of citron
on the top. You may have a
boiled pudding of this if you
prefer.
"New Stylet"
In mid-winter millinery, the
toque is described as the newest
shape in head-gear.. "It is a close
cap shape with visor both back
and front and may be worn as
a bonnet with strings or as a
hat. Birds of brilliant plumage
and dainty ostrich tips form its
handsomest garnitures, although
elegant ribbons, bugs, brazilian
beetles and insects of various
sizes and sheeny effects are
sometimes observable on them.

Bonds Issued
A bond issue of $75,000 was
voted last spring for completion
of the swimming and wading
pools, pool building and other
park facilities.
Negotiations and other delays
consumed considerable time in
the pool project. The first bids
asked were too high. Negotia
tions with another firm did not
work out. Construction was
then undertaken by the city
itself but levy funds were not
ample.
The Lions club pitched In with
its Sleepy Hour contest and the
Junior Service league donated a
diving board. Then city officials
called for the additional bond
issue and N. K. Porter was con
tracted to erect the pool build
ing. Now city officials and Med
ford visitors feel that the pool
facility will compare with the
best on the coast.
Facilities Near Finish
Seeding of the lawn areas Is
scheduled to be finished by the
May 1 deadline with the section

United Press Science Editor
New York (U.R) A potential
new tuberculosis killer a German-developed
drug known as
TB-1 is now being given hu
man trials In the United States.
It may be months before the
trials are evaluated.
The effectiveness of the drug
on German patients is reviewed
in the current issue of the Am
erican Review of Tuberculosis,
journal of the American Tru
deau Society, medical section of
the National Tuberculosis Asso
ciation.
The reports are based on the
experience of the drug in Ger
many, and in some respects are
optimistic, but also nave some
disturbing facts.
Drug Seen es Helper
Drs. Anton Mertens and Rolf
Bunge. reporting in clinical find
ings with the new drug, said in
the Review tnat me arug is nui
effective in the two most severe
forms of tuberculosis military
and meninceal nor have re
sults proved promising m
chronic, advanced cases of pul
monary tuberculosis. The most
encouraging results, they said
are found in tuberculosis of
mucous membranes, such as of
the larynx and intestines.
The doctors said that TB 1
used with streptomycin, and
para-amino-salicylic acid, known
as PAS, may have great value
in the treatment of tuberculosis.
"The uosib 1 1 es of an intelli
gent combination of these
agents become obvious," they
reported.
Good ReDorts
Two American experts, Drs.
H. Corwin Hinshaw, formerly of
the Mayo Clinic and now of San
Francisco, and Walsh McDer
mott, of the Cornell Medical
Colleee in New York City, re
cently returned from Germany
where thev studied clinical re
sults of the drug. They reviewea
about 2,000 cases, and said that
TB 1 is "considerably less effec
tive than streDtomvcm in treat-
ine tuberculosis and might be
compared in efficacy with PAS,
but that it is more toxic than
PAS.
Hnwover. the American doc
tors believe that TB 1 will have
a place in the treatment of
iiihorriilnsis. and that the drug
mav delav development of
strains of the t.b. germ resistant
to streptomycin.
They said that while TB 1 may
nrnvp nn important addition to
the currently available drugs, it
will not replace streptomycin
but may serve as a helper.
Both doctors urged that final
evaluation of the drug be wun
held until both experimental and
clinical studies cen be carried on
in this country. '
