Skin Divers Take
Big Gold Nuggets
From North Yuba
Downieville, Calif - (LTD -Three
Southern California
skin divers seeking gold deep
in the North Yuba river have
come up with nuggets worth
nearly $900.
The find was confirmed
Saturday by L. L- Nuelsdonk,
general manager of the Best
Mines of Sierra county.
. Huelsdonk, a member of the
California mining board, said
three young Riverside county
miners, Kenneth and , Gary
Vance and Don Brolin, have
proved that nuggets still may
be found in the streams of
this northern Mother Lode
area.
20 Fee Below
The nuggets were taken
one mile west of here from
the North Yuba river bed,
'about 20 feet below the sur
face. The state mining official
said he examined and weigh
ed a one-pound nugget, part
quartz and part gold, as big
as a baseball and containing
more than seven ounces of
the precious mineral.
Huelsdonk said the three
youthful underwater miners
from Idlewild, Calif., had
smaller nuggets totaling more
than $50 an ounce as speci
men or jewelry, gold. .
Prospectors
"These young skin divers
are prospectors just as the
whiskered characters with a
burro and a gold pan were a
century ago," he said.
: "There are probably some
hot spots in the river. If they
keep diving, they'll no doubt
find gold.",

Duncan Says People
Meed to Take Part
In Getting Laws
Speaker of the House Rob
ert Duncan stressed the need
for Oregon's citizens to active
ly and personally seek to im
plement civil rights laws at
a meeting of the Methodist
Men's club of Medford last
week-
He suggested that rather
than indulge in harsh criticism
of such areas as Little Rock,
Ark., Oregon residents take
stock as to their own attitudes
toward minority groups.
"All of us are members of
some minority group," Dun
can stated, "and the resulting
problems, though they can
best be met on sn individual
basis, ultimately concern the
well-being of our state and
our nation."
Duncan noted that "As ten
sions about the world increase,
we must become increasingly
aware that what we do here
and now to further the broth
erhood of man may well effect
our fate as a nation."
Duncan discussed Oregon's
progress in the field of civil
rights over the past 10 years,
and reviewed legislation in
the field. "Our laws," he said,
"not only prohibit discrimina
tion in employment, but in
housing and public accommo
dations.
He mentioned the recent
session which passed a , law
prohibiting discrimination in
employment because of age,
giving older residents' a more
equal chance in seeking jobs.
Duncan suggested that it is
time Oregon residents subor
dinated short-term personal
advantage for long-run public
welfare. He said that "taxes
were considered by potential
residents as only part of the
picture, that the things we in
Oregon buy with public
monies is highly important to
such people.
Duncan said "we should be
proud of our record, that we
