Witness Says 'Vast Store House'
Grants Pass "The bureau
of land management. U. S. forest
service and others interested in
withdrawing land along the
Hague river for recreational use
are playing fast and loose with
national security," Neal Allen,
Grants Pass attorney, declared
yesterday.
Allen was among 18 witnesses
appearing at a three-hour hear
ing here on a proposal to with
draw 23.358.67 acres of land on
eacfc .ude1 of the Rogue river
from any "land1 usage except re
creation: The proposal was made
by the bureau of land manage
ment and the forest service.

The. attorney also staled there
is no way of knowing the amount
of mineral under the surface of
the earth without digging for it.
This would be prohibited if the
withdrawal proposal is consu
mated. Allen and several others point
ed out that prospecting can pro

kept many people from having
to go on relief during depression
years.
"We have seen lumber hit a

Allen said. "What will replace

mining is already restricted by
existing laws and withdrawal
would be unnecessary since
mining is compatible with mul
tiple land usage. Among them
were Hollis N. Dole, director of
the state department of geolog
ical and mineral industries; Fay
Bristol, president of the Oregon
Mining association and repre
sentative of the American Min
ing congress; A. O. Bartels, min
ing engineer; and Sherman
Smith, Grants Pass attorney and
member of the Rogue River
chapter, Izaak Walton League.
Supporters of the proposed
withdrawal claimed income from
recreational interests far exceeds
economic value of the mining in
dustry here.
Recreational Income
Irving R. Hazelttne, represent
ing the Fish and Wildlife service,
and Charles S. Collins, execu
tive vice president of the Ore
gon Wild Life federation, point
ed out that annual recreational
income to the Rogue river basin
totals about $14 million. They
added that sport fishing alone
brings about S3 million annually
to the area. They also claimed
the land would be better pre
served if the forest service and
bureau of reclamation were giv
en the responsibility of manag
ing it.
Other witnesses testifying in
support of the proposal agreed
that mining development had
once been valuable to the na
tion's economy but is now a
"dead pigeon."
A. V. Meyers, representing
the Oregon Game commission,
noted that some species of wild
life are vulnerable to apprecia
ble changes in physical surround
ings, such as those brought about
by mining. He added that the
withdrawal could be revoked if
need to stimulate mining should
develop.
Hurts Someone
Hugh Bolton, an Izaak Walton
League member, pointed out
that no legislation is enacted
without hurting someone, but he
I felt the withdrawal would be in
I the best interests of the greatest
number of people. He joined
other Izaak Walton League mem
! bers in saying he had nothing
, against "legitimate mining
I claims," but indicated little sym
pathy for holders of "fictitious
claims."
Frank Root, representing the
Northwest Mining council, said
; his organization is against the
: withdrawal. He said, "If recre-
: ation brings so much money to
the area as it is, that's a pretty
gjd record." He indicated there
was no need to increase this an-
j nual revenue from recreation
I seekers.
Quinton Stone, a Rogue river
, basin prospector, stated "no ef
fort has been exerted before to
preserve scenic beauty along the
river." He added that he didn't
. believe the public should lose
I their right to any natural re
sources. Against Wall
Stone also commented, "Log
ging has already driven small
; mining against the wall and pol
itics have given a bad impression
of mining origins. This has set
mining back at least 20 years in
development."
Mrs. Lila Lofgren, who said
l she is a World War II veteran
and with her husband operates
a claim in the proposed with
drawal area, was another wit
ness against the proposal. "It is
not fair or right for a govern
ment to entice people to invest
their time and savings in a por
tion of land, then take it away

Mrs. V. A. Ahlf, Grants Pass
attorney, said gold is of "great
economic value" and is the "life
blood of this nation." She added,
"We can't permit that land to be
segregated to anything but min
eral entry. The only equitable
thing to do is to reestablish land
so miners may relocate their
claims and proceed with the min
ing industry."

and indicated the best use of
land would be mining for the

Lathrop said the board had no

areas where there is no mining
potential.

He noted that anyone having an
allowed homestead entry, or a
valid unpatented mining claim
on land within the withdrawal
area, would have a valid exist
ing right. He added that patented
lands would not be affected by
these withdrawals even though
some of the lands may be in
cluded in the legal descriptions.
The land proposed for with
drawal extends about a half-mile
on each side of the Rogue river
between Prospect and Gold

Record for the hearing will
remain open until Dec. 6 for
those desiring to submit written
