Applegate
Jade in River, Mining
By MAUDE ZIEGLER
Mill Tribune Corretpondenl
Applegate Valley - More
than 100 years ago, the Chi
nese mined tor gold in souuv
ern Oregon.
Now in the same area of
Chinese "diggln's" In the Ap-
Dlceate. true lade has been
discovered in the river and
In the old tailing piles. In
fact the discoverer unwitting
ly stood on a seam ol black
Jade rock and fished for many
years.
Here Is Kenn Palne's own
torv:
"Always looking for good
rock, so I went down to a
gravel bar near Ruch. I pick
ed up several promising rocKs
I made a test polish on them
finding mostly 'just rock.' But
one caught my eye. Was It
black Jsde? All the rock
hounds I showed H to aid
Yes.' Two months later, I had
been up every branch of the
Applegate river from Kucn
to my home nine miles above.
I found some 'float,' but
couldn't find the source of
this black jaje. 'Float' is all
Jade or all rock that washes
from its origin.
Found on Own Property
"But there It was on my
own property. It didn't take
us long to remove tne seam
from the beach. Just how far
and how deep it goes Into our
own property we still don't
know, but we will have a
real good supply for many a
moon."
Paine and his wife own the
Applegate rock shop at Mc
Kee bridge. They also find

Paine unearthed the jade on
his property a few months
ago. He was burning brush
and was using a hydraulic
hose to keep the fire from
spreading. In hosing a bank,
he noticed certain rocks that
did not move easily under
water pressure. Jade is more
dense than other rock, and he
had made his discovery.
Located at McKee Bridge
Mr. and Mrs. Paine have
been located at McKee bridge
for several years. Paine has
his own rock cutting and pol
ishing equipment, and he and
his wife make Jewelry. It was
by coincidence that they start'
ed in the business. Some years
ago he operated Kenn's re
pair shop for radio and ap
pliances in Grants Pass and
Medford, and collected rocks
as a hobby. He answered an
ad and traded a gelger coun
ter for gem making equip
ment. Jade Is not considered a
"hard" stone, and can be
scratched with a piece of
quartz. However, Its matted
structure gives it a toughness
with extraordinary resistance
to breakage. A Chinese jew
eler in San Francisco still
uses a jade anvil which had
been In his family for three
generations.

PET TALK
By M.I.L
HUMANE EDUCATION
The history of humane edu-
cation has no real starting
point. It has been a concern
of humanitarians from the be
ginning of recorded time. Men
tion of humane attitudes and
how they are attained can be
found in early Chinese writ
ings. The Roman and Greek
philosophers discussed it. It
is a basic tenet of all major
religions. ' . . .
Humane education is a
broad field and encompasses
both child and adult. Whether
child or adult, the total job
would seen to involve educat-
ine the heart. No nation has
ever been great without the
presence of moral and spirit
ual values which all good citi
zens hold vital to a people's
welfare.
The child learns more dur
ing his training in the elemen
tary grades and retains what
he learns longer. There
fore, it is toward this period
that an expanded program of
humane education should be
directed. Kindness Is the cor
nerstone of character and
much can be told about the
character of youngster by
the way he or she comes to
regard so-called dumb ani
mals.
The National Education
Association has proposed that
public schools should teach
the "moral and spiritual
values that are shared by the
members of all religious
faiths." Kindness would qual
ify here along with honesty,
brotherhood, moral responsi
bility, cooperation and family
loyalty.
The Importance of humane
education is. not generally un
derstood or accepted. How
ever, most educators realize
that training of the heart,
along with the training of the
mind, sends the child out into
the world a self-respecting, de
sirable citizen with broad sym
pathy and understanding, thus
making for the happiness ol
the individual and for the wel
fare of society. '
In the broader sense, it
would appear that essentially,
humane education can save
the world from the self-destruction
and almost total an
nihilation of missile warfare.
It means justice, good will,
humanity toward all life, hu
man and subhuman alike. A
person who respects the rights
of animals rarely forgets his
obligations to humans in dis
tress. A generation trained in
sound principles should be
able to solve its International
difficulties as friendly neigh
bors. As long as most of our
people abhor cruelty, there is
hope that we can yet preserve
the ethic which Dr. Albert
Schweitzer has called the
"Reverence for Life."

Brown's Tax Reform
Starts Moving Through Houses
Br United Press International
Gov. Edmund u. crowns
tax reform program has start
ed moving through the legis
lature, but initial voting snow,
ed Republicans lined up solid
ly on the opposite side.
Three measures cleared the
revenue and taxation commit
tee relating to speeding up
tax payments from Insurance
companies.
The bills would require in
surance companies to pay their
gross premium tax on a quar
terly basis instead of once a
year; eliminate the "home of
fice" deduction and ask vot
ers to amend the state consti
tution to allow the lawmak
ers to-change the rate of the
insurance tax now set at 2.3S
per cent.
Bring Additional Monty
The acceleration bill is ex
pected to bring the state an
additional $22 million during
the fiscal year beginning next
July 1. It also is aimed at
closing an estimated gap of
$150 million in projected rev
enue and income.
Eight Democrats voted as
a block to push the measures
through the committee, while
one sided with Republicans.
Brown, meantime, revised
a proposal in his plan to initi
ate a withholding system for
personal income taxes that
would further speed up tax
collections. -Brown
tied to his plan a
proposal to forgive 50 per cent
instead of the previously an
nounced 25 per cent of per
sonal income taxes in 1964,
which would save taxpayers
$85 million on their 1064 per
sonal income taxes.
The one dissenting Demo
crat, Assemblyman Tom Car-
rell (D-San Fernando), said he
thought the "state's integrity
is at stake" in the plan and
that it "goes against my
grain."
Against Proposal
Carrell, in a letter to his
constituents, said: "For in
stance, when I learned that a
speeded up collection of taxes
from insurance companies
might lead to an increase in
premium rates to offset what
amounts to a temporary tax
boost, I voted against the pro
posal ..." , ' -
Elsewhere, there were these
developments:
A statewide birth control
program with legislative
blessing was turned down by
tne benate public Health com
mittee. The author of the
resolution which would have
officially encouraged the pro
gram, Sen. Alvin C. Wein-
gand (D-Santa Barbara) com
mented later: "There is no
good reason for not having it
except for the minority opin
ion of the Roman Catholic
church."

Several church spokesmen

Buck who had escaped once
