Klamath Strikers
Told to Hold Out
Klamath Falls, Ore., June 16
(U.R) A mass meeting of about
800 striking CIO Weyerhaeuser
Timber company employees was
told last nluht that workers must
hold out for their demands for a
7'j-cent-an-hour wage increase
for a union-controlled pension
plan.
About 40.000 members of the
CIO International Woodworkers
of America are on strike agHinst
the Weyerhneuser company, larg
est timber operator in the north
west. Among the guest speakers at
the meeting were Chet King,
Raymond. Wash., a Washington

vice president of the internation
al union; and Jake Peterson, sec
retary of the Longview, Wash.,

Dad's Day In The Sun
Back in Ancient Greece, an annual festival
honored Zeus, father of the gods. His sacred statues
were crowned with new laurel wreaths and as Zeus
was also the patron of human fathers, dutifu' sons
of that long-ago time presented thir own Dads gifts
of ripe grapes. - ,
In Roman days, fathers held considerable power
over their families, being authorized to punisn dis
obedient wives or children with death.
e e e a e
DUT Dads suffered something of an eclipse in
D domestic authority in the ensuing ages and it was
not until comparatively recent years 1924, to be
exact that President Coolidge, no doubt feeling that
fathers should have at least one day in the sun a year,
recommended nationwide observance of Father's
Dav. The action was somewhat belated, considering
that Mother's Day had been founded in 1907.
e e a s e
SETTING aside June 18 (that's next Sunday, kids!)
as Father's Day involved more than passing
thoughtfulness. By placing the observance in mid
month, fathers are given nearly two full weeks in
which to enjoy their new neckties, box, etc before
having to pay for them along with the rest of the
first-of-the-month bills. E.C.F.
Mining Interest Gaining
A slieht attack of mining fever has been noted
hereabouts recently, apparently brought on by some
interesting rumors and a few actual finds. The former
include reports that engineers and geologists repre
senting large mining concerns and government
agencies have been making investigations in the Blue
Ledge district. Huge manganese deposits are said to
exist there in addition to the copper which has long
held speculative interest
fN THE actual discovery side is the finding of
w scheelite, tungsten ore, in the Ashland area,
production of some high grade molybdenum in a
mine in the Evans Creek section and discovery of
nickel cobalt also in the Evans Creek area.
In addition there has been considerable pros
pecting for uranium ores, the miners joining in the
search which was kicked off bv that first atomic blast
pon the army's New Mexico testing ground. So far
only some low grade concentrate compounds have
been found but the faint ticks recorded by Geiger
counters have been sufficient to keep up interest.
ease
CNTHUSIASM for gold hunting,' and mining, has
- been lacking since the war, in this part of southern
Oregon at least. A halt was called in mining early in
the war and increased costs of machinery, high wages
and the low price on gold $35 per ounce have
handicapped the industry since the coming of peace.
CONSIDERING the vast wealth dug out of the
western states by early day gold miners, it is
strantre that no really substantial finds have been
made in more recent years. Granting that the old
time prospectors did quite a thorough job of combing
the countiy, and granting also that more modern
geological studies have pretty well identified the
areas where gold might be found, there must be lots
of the precious metal still undiscovered here and there.
T seemed for a time that the Port Angeles, Wash-
ington, barnyard gold strike might bring a revival
of interest in western "prospecting," but the find
which first assays valued up to $124 per ton, proved
to be a flash in the pan gold pan, that is when
later samples disclosed gold content amounting to
only $1.50 to $2.21 a ton.

was recovered in 1949 than in 1948, mainly because !
of expanded dredge operations.
The state's gold production from lode and placer i
operations last year was 16,226 fine ounces, valued
at $567,910, which compared with 14,611 ounces in
1948. Grant county was the largest contributor to the
state's metal production last year with Baker second, i
i
CUCH Jackson County mining interest as has re- j
centlv arisen is largely centered in the afore-.
mentioned Blue Ledge rumors for development of
that huge metal storehouse just over the southwest
county border could mean great things for the entire
region. E.C.F.
