They may come originally from any state in the union without be traying the fact, except through receipt of mail from some mem ber of the family. Most of them retain most poig antly their associations in over seas assignments. And they re late experiences they have had in all parts of the world and in all the theaters of operation, in both the World Wars especially. At Camp White the men are largely veterans of World War I and have experiences and con tacts battling through the years since they were released after the signing of the armistice in 1918. There Is a distinct western fla vor apparent at Camp White that is not so marked elsewhere. The men either hail from Calif ornia, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Col orado, Idaho and Montana as well as Oregon and Washington, or they have lived there during part of their lives. Perhaps the Manhattan boys, the New Englanders, Midwest- erners, or the Southerners with an accent, will not subscribe to this thesis. But during the past year, there has been substantial evidence of the interest in west ern life. This in part may be due to the' influence of the movies, many of which have been west erns. However, an indication' is found closer to the domiciliary itself in the progress of the monthly publication Dominews, written and published by and for the men. In the past two years, three outstanding westerners have edited this little magazine. They are L. J. "Tick" Malarkey, who is on leave doing a fire warden's job during the summer, John Sharp, at one time on the edi torial staff of the Salt Lake Trib une, and George Eiehnor, the present dynamo running the paper. This column is an effort to tell something about this color ful "sea lawyer,", mining engin eer, and authority on games of chance. George has what might be called an aristocratic back ground.

WHIRLPOOL ITER $239.95 MEDFORD News, Gossip, Comment From Camp White pioneering in the American tra dition from away back. And in his own right he has been places and seen things. He has caught the fancy of the members by re counting many of his experi ences which big time editors think are too anecdotal to be called short stories. George not only writes these pieces, but has a line of humor thaVcan rank with the best in America. He does not try to be smart. In fact he says that if there is anything that makes him jealous it is to find somebody dumber than he is. He is all things to all men around the place. We transposes all the art worK to stencils. He prints and distrib utes personally the copies as they come from the press. Most of the men who have run the mimeo machine on which Domi news is printed graduate so rap idly that he is shorthanded most of the time. But it is quite apparent that George Eiehnor will be remem bered around Camp White for one thing in particular, his suc cessful work in reviving the real old time west in his writing. He has hit the golden trail again and may be back. In fact the odds are in favor of his return. Before he left, this writer ask ed him to give a little picture of gold mining, old and more re cent, a subject on which he is an authority by education and act ual experience, and here it is: 'Mining", especially for gold, Is really the true example of what we call today the free enterprise system. The lure of gold called all the seekers of wealth and ro mance to our West in the early days. 'Here, each man and his part ner, using first the gold pan, the sluice box and the old rocker, were accountable only to God. Since there was only one crop of gold, the "top" was taken by the builders of the west. 'As time marched on, gold was found in places thatrequired going deep into mountains or washing great quantities of gravel by the hydraulic method. "The first hard rock mines used the old camp mill and eith er a sluice box or amalgam plates for recovery. "Then along came the ball mill which required less power 'to operate. It could give the ore a much better grind and hence a better recovery. "The best any of these hard rock methods could recover was about 65 per cent of the total amount of gold from the'original ore. The reason for this is that gold that was not "free gold," that is, gold in a nearly pure form, could not be recovered, The other gold is in the form of sulphides. ' "With the development of the flotation process ,the free gold was taken off first and the bal ance of the ore that contained gold sulphides was ground finely and sent through flotation ma chines. "A flotation machine Is a ser ies of cells with impellers that give a centrifugal action to the solution of the finely ground ore, To this mixture are added com mercial reagents, such as pure oil, airfloart, xanthate, and others. These reageants, plus the centri fugal action, cause the sulphides to float on top of the solution and they are then skimmed off and sent to the smelter. "Today the most modern me thod of gold recovery is the cyanide method. Briefly, it uses a solution of cyanide to dissolve the gold sulphides and then through a zinc recovery process, chemically changes the gold to another form which is easily refined. By this method as high as 92 percent of the gold recovered. Mailman Sues City For Lost Automobile Oklahoma City U.R) An Oklahoma City mailman sued the city for $75 to repay him for 50 hours of time spent searching for his car while it was safely stored in the police garage. Jack G. Reese also wanted $27 for taxi fares paid while the ve hicle was gone, $50 in punitive damages, $7.50 for depreciation and $60 to repair the transmis sion which he said police dam aged. The city, on the other hand wanted Reese to pay for four parking tickets and a storage fee on the automobile. Both Reese and the police stolen car division searched for the vehicle for nine days before learning that the police parking division had towed it in to the garage because of the unpaid tickets. 1 $ I IN SAN FRANCISCO ' halal roam.

Cain Hits Administration On China Lobby Inquiries Washington (U.R) Sen Harry P. Cain says the admin istration wouldn't have a Chinaman s chance - of escap ing disgrace in an investigation of the "China lobby." That is why, the Washington Republican said Friday in a sen ate speech, the administration "shudders" at the prospect of an inquiry despite its "open hatred" of Nationalist General issimo Chiang Kai-Shek. HST Ordered Investigation President Truman ordered the government to investigate the China lobby a year ago to determine whether it could be prosecuted for "improperly" in fluencing U. S. foreign policy.
