Mining Claims in
National Forest To
Be Examined by FS
A Held survey and exami
nation of mining claims is un
der way in the Elk creek
Fredenburg butte, and Star
gulch areas of the Rogue Riv
er National forest, Supervisor
C. E. Brown has announced.
The examination by the for
est service is the first step in
the procedure authorized by
the Multiple Use Mining Law
of July 23, 1955.
, The pu.pose of the exami
nation is to locate claims with
in the area which were in
possession of, or worked by,
the claimant before -he dale
of the law, and to determine
whether a claim to surface
rights on such claims is valid
and effective.
Brown explained that the
determination of surface
rights on old claims in the
areas being examined will in
no way interfere with the
claimant's rights to prospect,
mine and develop minerals,
use Hie surface and timber
on a claim for mining pur
poses, or to patent his claim
in accordance with the law.
Favor Development
After a claim is patented.
both surface and mineral re
sources become the property
of the claim owner. The de
partment of agriculture has
always favored the develop
ment of the mineral resources
of the national forests and
will continue to cooperate
with legitimate miners.
Formal public notice re
garding the determination of
surface rights on mining
claims in the areas will ap
pear in local newspapers for
nine consecutive weeks. In
addition, a copy of such no
tice will be delivered to per
sons whose names and ad
dresses are determined as pro
vided in the law. The owner
of a mining claim located
prior to July 23, 1905, will
Classrooms Used
At Full Standard
Eugene Space utilization
studies recently completed at
the University of Oregon
show that in the 1962 fall
term classrooms were being
used to the full standard of
30 hours of use per week
estbalished by the state board
of higher education, Univer
sity President Arthur S. Flem
ming has reported.
This is an increase in class
room use from 28.7 hours per
week in the fall term of 1961
and 26.6 hours per week in
the fall term of 1960.
The report also showed the
university use of laboratories
has grown from 17 hours per
week in 1960 and 17.7 hours
! per week in 1961 to 18.6
hours per week in 1962, or 93
per cent of the board's objec
tive of 20 hours per week.

have 150 day9 after the first
publication to assert surface
rights if he chooses to do so.
Has Two Options
A claimant has two options
under the law. He may -nore
the notices, thereby waiving
rights to the surface until the
claim goes to patent yet main
taining his original mining
rights. The claimant may file
a verified statement asserting
his rights to the surface. In
that case his claim will be
examined by mineral exam
iners. Brown explained.
Claims of questionable va
lidity will be considered be
fore a hearing officer of the
bureau of land management,
department of the interior,
who will make the final deci
sion, Both the claimant and
the forest service will present
their testimony at the hear
ing. Whatever the decision, the
claimant will retain his min
eral rights. If the decision is
in the claimant's favor, he
also retains all surface rights.
Maps of the areas now be
ing examined, and copies of
the Multiple Use Mining Law
of July 23. 1955, and of the
procedure for the determina
tion of surface right- set up
by law are available for in
sneclion at the forest super
visor's office, room 315, post

Blast of Cold Air
Moves Over Plains
By United Press International
A blast of cold air moved
across the Northern Plains to
day, dropping temperatures
from Minnesota to Montana.
The rest of the nation contin
ued to enjoy mild spring-like
weather.
Colid wave warnings were
issued for Montana, with bit
ter temperatures expected to
extend to Minnesota by to
nigh. The mercury is expected
to fall to 20 degrees below
zero through Montana and the
Dakotas tonight.
Warm weather blanketed
the nation east of the Missis
sippi river while clear skies
kept the temperatures across
the Southwest in the 50s and
60s.
Beverly Hills. Calif., had an
80 - degree reading Tuesday,
highest reported in the na
tion. Sprinkles swept the Pacific
Northwest but the tempera
tures stayed in the 30-40 de
gree range.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Beginning this week, it
costs five cents to mail the let
ter we formerly mailed for
four cents. It costs four cents
to mail the card we formerly
mailed for three cents. It costs
eight cents for the air mail let
ter that formerly went for sev
en cents.
In other words, anything
postmarked after midnight
Sunday must carry a penny
more than before on first
class and air mail letters and
post cards.
BUT
You will sav
That's only a PENNY more
than before. What, in these
modern days, does a penny
amount to?
partment, reduce our taxes?
It seems reasonable that it
should. But it is quite prob
able that it WON'T. One sus
pects that our government
will just SPEND MORE.
WAIT a minute.
An up of a penny on the
letter you formerly mailed for
four cents is an increase of 25
PER CENT. An up of a penny
on the card you formerly
mailed for three cents is an
increase of thirty-three and a
third per cent. Incidentally,
an increase of a penny in the
air mail letter you formerly
mailed for seven cents is an
increase of only 14 per cent.
Which is to say:
These new rates, small as
they are on the individual
unit, are expected to add $459
million annually to post office
revenues. A small increase on
a HUGE volume of business
runs into quite a little money.
QUESTION:
Will this increase of $459
million in postal revenue (just
under HALF A BILLION dol
lars in total), by reducing the
deficit in the post office de-
ANOTHER question:
Are thosb new postal rates
HIGHER than similar postal
rates ever were before?
By no means.
Listen to this:
In 1789, when the first rales
were fixed, it cost six cents to
send a letter UP TO 30
MILES, and the price went up
for longer distances to a mini
mum of 25 cents for more
than 450 miles. If that rale
had remained in force until
the present day, it would cost
us two bits to send an ordin
ary letter to San Francisco.
BUT
You ain't heard notlun
yet.
When the famous Pony Ex
press which earned a let
ter from St. Joseph, Mo., to
Sacramento, Cal., in nine days
went into service it cost
FIVE DOLLARS to send a
half-ounce letter.
This admittedly stiff post
age rate continued until the
first transcontinental t e 1 c -graph
became operative, re
ducing the delivery time of a
message from nine days to al-1
most no time at all if you hap
pened to be at the point where
the telegram could be deliver-'
ed to you. j
This competition promptly i
became to keen that in order
to meet it the postal rate was
dropped to a dollar for a half
ounce. That's what competi
tion does.
Cape Canaveral-OTi - The
new year has brought some
old problems back to Cape
Canaveral. One is the Minute
man missile's late-blooming
inability to hit targets.
Minuteman is the "Instant
ICBM" that the United States
declared war-ready last Dec.
11. Thus there is some concern
that of Minuteman last four
shots only one has been suc
cessful. The latest mishap came
Monday, it was the first roc
ket shot of 19K3 from this
sprawling misslic testing cen
ter. The 54-foot rocket was
blasted from the bottom of an
85-foot launching silo and
aimed at a target more than
5.000 miles away.
It missed.
Reluctant To Talk
The Air Force, which talks
at length about succsses,
managed to sum up the entire
proceedings in two sentences
which said little more than
that the missile "fell short
of its intended range."
Other sources gave more in
formation. The Minuteman.
after a sparkling start, ran
into upperslage troubles. The
net result was that the rocket
quit working too soon. Just
why could not be determined
immediately.
Minute-man's problems, al
though hardly of the magni
tude of those in the Air
Force's late Skyboll program,
have reached the serious
stage. One of the missiles
blew up in a shot from Van
denberg Air Force P.asc. Calif.,
Dec. 10 and another fell short
of its intended target in a
test from Cape Canaveral
Dec. 20.
The only success in that
period was a rippling 5,000
milc shot Dec. 14. That was a
test of an improved "Wing-2"
Minuteman. The shot Monday
also involved one of the un
dated models which, among
other things, has a peppier
second stage and a modified
guidance computer system.
Second in Months
This is the second siege of
troubles lo hit the Minuteman
program in four months. Fol
lowing two blow-ups the roc
ket was grounded for a spell
last October until the prob
lems-found to be m the guid
a n c c computer- could be
solved.
Minuteman is a three-stage
solid-fueled rocket which the
nation is counting on as the
bulwark of its ICBM force.
The Air Force will install
nearly 1,000 of them
buried launching sites
throughout the United States
during the next three years.
The first 20 already arc on
station with nuclear warheads
at Malstrom Air Force Base
near Great Falls, Mon. Theo
retically, all 20 could be
launched on just 32 seconds'
notice.
Missile experts eventually
hope to cut this "reaction
time" in half, to 15 seconds.
Liquid-fueled ICBMs such
the Atlas and Titan l require
at least 15 minutes' warning
to gel off the gruund.
DIES AFTER SHOCK
Boston -HPli- The shock of
seeing his wife scalded by an
overturned kettle of hot wa
ter proved too much for Ri
cardo Savino. 47, of East Bos
ton. He collapsed and died
Tuesday while telephoning for
a doctor. to aid his stricken
wife, who was hospitalized
with first and second degree
burns of the leg.

Disposalism
West Developing New Economic
Theory in Basement Workshop
By DICK WEST
Washington - WPIl - During
the recent holidays, I did a
lot of work on a new eco
nomic theory
that I have
been putting
together down
in my base
ment work
shop. The
theory lam
working on is
called "dis
posalism." All
of the pieces
Hut
aren't in place yet, but I think
it will be truly cataclysmic.
It is founded on the prem
ise that mankind's basic eco
nomic motivation is in the
process of reversing itself. Up
to now, our chief interest and
concern has been in acquiring
things. Right?
Well, it is my theory that
from now on the emphasis will
shift to getting rid of things.
In some areas, the change al-
ready has occurred.
To cita on familiar ax
ample, the government has
accumulated vast amounts
of turplui farm products
but hat never satisfactorily
solved the problem of how
to ditpoie of them.
To cite another, the disposal
of radioactive waste materials
has become a major problem
in the development of atomic
energy.
"Disposal ism'' also has
trickled down to the average
American household-at least,
it hs to mine. There have
i bet, limes when we have 1
been without heat or lights
and gotten along very well.
But let the garbage disposal
unit go on the blink or the
trash collector be a day late
and panic sets in.
The significance of "dis
posalism" was particularly
impressed upon me at Christ
mas. We were virtually inun
dated by our own trash. In
fact, I accidentally threw my
son in the box his wagon came
in.
Using approximate fig
ures, 1 calculated that the
value of the gifts exchanged
among and received by
memben of my family was
outweighed by the trouble
it took to get rid of wrap
ping paper that encased
them.
The theory of "disposalism"
can be used to explain why a
number of magazines are los
ing circulation. Tilings have
reached the point where the
reading pleasure they provide
is cancelled out by the tuk
of disposing of the back is
sues. This, of course, Is not true
of old newspapers, which can
still be used for wrapping
fish.
Eventually, I hope to show
how the theory of "disposal
ism" can be applied to our
entire society, but I may never
get it finished. I am kept too
busy carrying out the trash.
