California Desert
Region Attracts
Gold Prospectors
Death Valley National Mon
ument, Calif. (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.

Musical Exchanges Between
U.S., Russia Gain in
By DELOS SMITH .,
New York IDPD The musi
cal exchanges between the
United States and Russia are
running pretty hot when the
newest composition of Rus
sia's leading composer is play
ed in the United States less
than a month after its first
performance in Russia.
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. One is among the most
impressive of living compos
ers; the other is a profound
master of his instrument and

its music as any one can tell
by listening.
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.
But musical exchanges now
are on a much larger scale
than single compositions and
single musicians.- The . New

ruary the Moscow State Sym
phony will concertize across

It is the Russian match for
America's big and firmly es
tablished orchestras, like
those in Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Cleveland, Chi

sicians and ' will bring two

as well as music. Robert Casa

now is as well known to
Americans, played Beethov

He mingled Beethoven,
played by Casadesus, with a
symphony of the contempor

old than new although its
creator still lives. His -first
