OSES Head Says
Twice as many jobs' are avail-
able in the Rogue river, valley
this . month as . compared with
January, 1954, according to John
J. Patton, manager of the state
, employment office here.
' Patton, speaking yesterday at
the -roundtable noon luncheon
of the Chamber of Commerce in
the Jackson ,hoteI, said January
is proving to be one of the best
winter months in a long time.'..
' He explained that the valley
is "kind of reaping the benefit
of the recent lumber strike,
which created a shortage of fir
and raised the prices." k
Smaller Shutdown
.- The speaker said that a trend
of a smaller seasonal shutdown
- in the valley's industry is appar
ent from unemployment figures.
Previously seasonal layoffs last
ed ' from November, through
March, he continued, which has
now been largely limited to two
months, January and February.
He added that the fruit gift box
situation has helped this change,
as well as other factors. ;-
: He stated that the increasing
stability of the local ' lumber
operation has resulted in larger
operations, : in place of many
small sawmills. Even though un
employment dropped by 900 in
the lumber industry in 1952-53,
Patton reported that the em
ployment in the ' wholesale in-,
dustry rose by 300, thus offset
ting the fewer lumber employees
to a considerable degree. - . ,.
. He predicted a continued pop
ulation growth and cited -the
continual stream of mail from
all over the : United ; States in
quiring about job opportunities.

Patton showed that participat
ing unemployment r compensation-covered
businesses in Jack
son county .have tripled their
workers since 1936.' .-'v.-- '

Interior Committee scheduled a
meeting tooay on tne admission
of Hawaii and Alaska as states.
: "The same committee, in the
Senate will take up the state
hood question Thursday. .'- :'
Chairmen Clair Engle D-
-Calif, of the House committee
-and James E. Murray D-Mpnt
' of the Senate committee - both
said the principal question, to
be decided is whether hearings
on statehood are needed and, if
so, what they should cover.
Both take the view that state
hood has been amply debated in
the past and that committee ac
tion should be speedy. Engle
has said his committee would
send statehood legislation ta the
floor "so fast it will smoke from
friction." ' - " ' -

It is exactly five years and 20
days since President - Truman
set forth his original Formosa
policy.' He announced on Jan. 5,
1950, that the United States
would take no action, direct or
indirect, to defend Chiang Kai
shek's Nationalists on Formosa.
This surprise announcement
shocked congressional Republi
cans to instant protest. It came
three days after former Presi
dent - Hoover and the late Sen.
Robert A. Taft publicly, had
called for -Formosa's defense.
Gen. Douglas A. MacArthur and
the Joint Chiefs, of Staff were
reported at the time to hold the
Coloradoan Has Novel Way
Of Uncovering Silver Ore
Montezuma, Colo. : ; (U.R
Young Tom Martin . has a long
way to go before he 'can match
the fortune of the late H.- A. W.
Tabor.
": But when it cdmes to getting
the ore out of the . ground, the
36-year-old Martin- could' give
the -"Silver King" some valuable
lessons, i -'.;..' -' ''..-. . ; -4.
Martin's new and novel meth
od of i uncovering silver; veins
came to light following the an
nouncement that Burke-Martin
Mines, Inc., ' had uncovered - a
silver vein so thick and rich that
the valuable ore was being
trucked out . in sacks under
armed -guard... ; '' '.. ' -
One conservative, estimate
was that the vein,, some three
feet thick and about 80 feet
long, would . yield : between a
quarter- and a half million dol
lars. . ; : ; V "
; . That doesn't quite put Martin
in the same class with Tabor,
but it's a pretty good start, and
by. the time the gets through he
might outdistance his fabulous
predecessor. ' .T'ijv'-'-"
Whereas Tabor made his dis
coveries, which-allowed him: to
amass a fortune of. upwards of
$10,000,000, ; with pick and
shovel and brought Ms ore but
aith burros, Martin believes in
ing things the easy way with
the aid of equipment that Tabor
never. ' had a , chance , to . hear .
abOUtJ '. .-."'.:: .. .
Started on Top'-1
ijj Martin' set out from' the top
of a mountain peak, which air
ready had yielded several for
tunes: in " silver, in a bulldozer.
Using' the blade he methodical
ly sheared off the slopes on his
journey downward, making a
road at the same time. . - - ;"
: "As ajresult of his unique min
ing .method, : he exposed seven
veins of siiver. '1 :
r As his uncle, Bud Martin, put
. "Tom took the -mystery out .of
mining. - By - the time he - got
through he could see what he
had" v i ?i ,V - :
"Martin's , mining-' - operations
are ' being . carried oh in : the
vicinity ' of : 13,074-foot high
Whale Peak, six miles southwest
of Montezuma, and onvthe very,
same slope wherein lies the, old
Silver Wing tunnel and only , a
short distance from the famous
Champion family.mine, ' . ;'.
It was in this same area where
Tom's - ; uncle, ''John :' Burke,
amassed three, f ortunes id silver
using the. olo pick . and . shovel
method. Burke once .uncovered
a single hunk of silver ore worth
$28,000.: 5 ;..; v:4:
, Martin said one vein he un
covered, yielded ore ' running
854 ounces of ruby silver, one
half ounce of gold and eight per
cent lead to the ton. That would
net him roughly $770 a ton for
toe saver.-- : - . r-)
? "Tom doesn't' know for sure
just what he has yet, but he
Knows ne mi upon someuung
terrific". Bud Martin said.
"Each blast brings up something
new. $ ' .
Uranium Possible
' The Martins are not talking
about .the possibility ; of ' also
coming up with rich deposits of
uranium but that is a possibili
ty. . .
Just across the road- from
their property the Montezuma
Uranium Co., headed by Marlin
Thompson, admit they have hit
"two. hot spots,''with most of
the ore running over one-half
per cent uranium and averaging
about .45. ; Burke-Martin owns
considerable ' stock in,, Monte-
zuma Uranium Co. and chances
appear good that this one runs

property.

they threatened -then
and now if 'they were warned

to defend Formosa. .The U;N.,in

" Three more , days were suffi
cient to convince Mr. Truman
that the so-called police action
undertaken by the United States
and' the U.N. in Korea could not
be; carried out on the sea and in
the air. He ordered MacArthur
to send in the ground troops. ; ,
Russia's absence from the U.
N.' Security Council was counted
a 'great - stroke of - luck t at the
time, enabling - the U.N. to act
affirmatively and - quickly.- But
as the police action wore on into
a costly,' bloody? war.t the - big
U3t: allies of the United States
used' their : own unofficial - veto
of certain American tactics and
