Western Uranium
Rush Described;
Local Work Told
The uranium rush under way
today in the west was likened
to the gold rush of 1849 and '51
by F. I. Bristol, owner of the
Bristol Silica company, in an
address here Tuesday noon at
the Jackson hotel. Speaking
before the Medford Rotary club,
Bristol said that the highly stra
tegic ore could be discovered
from a car or jeep equipped
with a super scintillator, which
indicates the presence of radio
active ore.
Reconnaisance from a trans
port type plane at 5,000 feet is
practical and is utilized by the
Atomic Energy Commission in
surveying the western area, the
speaker said. Government as
sistance in uranium exploration
to boster the current stock-piling
program includes cash payments
for ore and attractive bonus fea
tures. This program will con
tinue until 1962 and has made
the U. S. a three times greater
producer than any other nation.
Methods Told
Methods of identifying uran
ium ore were discribed by Bris
tol, and included in the equip
ment he showed were a scintil
lator, geiger counter and min
eral light meter. Since most
uranium deposits have been
found on national forest lands
and Bureau of Land Manage
ment areas, the problem of ac
quiring mining rights are sim
pified. Exploration is underway
at the Al Serena Mine area and
there is likelihood that deposits
exist in other areas of Jackson
county since most western lands
have radio-active spots, Bristol
said. Fabulous profits have al
ready been realized from rich
uranium "finds" in the west, he
pointed out.
D. Ford McCormick, Medford
mining engineer and Rotary pro
gram chairman, introduced the
speaker.

Dies Committee
Appointment Unlikely
Washington U.R) Rep. Mar
tin Dies is trying to regain his
old seat on the House Un-American
Activities committee but the
odds are all against him.
Democratic leaders seemed
determined to pass over the
fiery Texas Democrat in filling
the lone party vacancy on the
nine-man investigating group.
Dies headed the committee for
seven stormy years before he
decided not to run for election
in 1945 because of his health.
His Communist hunting kept
him and the committee on the
front pages before and during
World War II. '
He put in his bid for his old
seat when he returned as a
Texas member-at-large two years
ago, but he was balked then by
the absence of any Democratic
vacancy.
Rep. Francis E. Walter (D.
Pa.) the incoming chairman, told
newsmen he doubts if Dies will
have any more success at this
time.
