(DPD - Gold de posits in this vast Southern California desert region led this week to optimistic rumors of mining operations reminis cent of the last century. -. At least four, mining com panies confirmed they were making intensive tests, of ore found in the 25,000-acre- re gion in and around Death Val ley. Rumori Circulating However, none of the opera tors could say for sure wheth er any of the deposits were rich enough to be mined at a profit despite rumors circulat ing through mining circles of a rich ore find. , "" Some test holes already have probed deeper than 90 leet and a representative of ne of the prospecting firms 'said his crew would go to 150 :f eet if necessary. - Howard I. Young, president of American Zinc Sales Co., .confirmed discovery of a "promising" find but said it ""might take as long as six months to determine if the -lode is rich enough to mine profitably. He said that so far samples had not indicated what could be termed a "rich" iind or proof that the ore would be valuable commer cially. Not NtwToValltr V Gold is not new to Death "Valley and the vast desert -surrounding it. ' Pioneers a hundred years ago staked claims there and jrmall quantities of gold are ytaken each year by amateur prospectors. - Should the lode prove rich -enough to mine commercially, it could be valuable in giving ;the : United States a larger proportion of the world's pro duction. : , With the price of gold set $35 an ounce, this country pro duces only about six per cent rof the world's total each year.

And played by the leading Russian musician for whom it was composed and who was the first to play it at' home, whats more. The piece , is a 'cello concerto by Dimitri Shostakovich. Mistislav Ros tropovich played ft with the Philadelphia orchestra in Philadelphia. He gave the concerto its world premiere in Leningrad Oct. 4 and played it again, in Moscow, on Oct. .9. That's tre mendous speed for music and especially for a musician at tached to the music, to get around. It is evident that mu sical "cultural exchanges" now run on w e 1 1-greased slides. Rostropovich Admired Americans admired the mu sic of Shostakovich even at the height of the cold war, of course, and they have come to admire the playing of Rostropovich since his first American performances, in 19o6.

But music never was an is sue, anyway, and Russia had great composers and great musicians whom Americans admired before there was , a Soviet. So soon this newest work of Shostakovich will be on records, (with Rostropo vich the soloist, no doubt) and every musical person will be listening to it without giving any thought, to non-musical implications.
