Mineral Development in
Area Stressed by Speaker
This area, once famous for
its gold, has good possibility
for finding and developing
other minerals, metals and
rare earths, according to Dave
Chase speaking at the North
western Mining council meet
ing last week.
The possibilities for the
small miner or prospector to
find and develop these miner
als is good, Chase said. He
added that in the case of some
of the rare earths , that are
used with missiles projects
the demand is great enough
that the big companies are
ready to develop and buy
properties that show good
promise. The speaker men
tioned lithium and Columbian,
two agents used in processing
titanium, as being found in
this area. Also, deposits of an
timony are being found, he
said, which can be shipped at
a profit by the small miner.
Some titanium is found here
also. Chase spoke of the man
ganese dike that runs through
Jackson county that has pos
sibility for development.
Mines Quicksilver
Chase, who mines quicksil
ver in the Evans creek-area,
feels that the, possibilities are
very good for a good mine.
He has built a retort and set
up the necessary machinery
to mine on a volume. He said
the need for quicksilver is
great at this time.
The International Panning
contest which the Mining
council is sponsoring at the
Jacksonville Gold Rush Jubi
lee was discussed. The contest
will have three divisions,
men, women and juniors, un
der 16 years. First prizes will
be awarded in each division.
The council will also have
gold bearing dirt that people
may pan and keep, the gold
that they pan.
., It was reported that the
council will have a gold dis
play in the U.S. National
bank, Medford branch; lobby
for July. It will be a joint
display with the Roxy Ann
Gem and Mineral club.
The mining council and the
