Bulletin Describes
Oregon Bauxite
Large reserves of ferruginous
bauxite, an ore which may con­
stitute an important source of
alumina to supply Northwest alu­
minum plants, are described in
a bulletin just issued by the Ore.
gon Department of Geology and
Mineral Industries. The deposits
are widespread in northwestern
Oregon but are found mainly in
Washington, Columbia and Mar­
ion counties.
Discovery of high-iron bauxite
in Washington county about 35
miles northwest of Portland was
first announced by the depart­
ment in 1944 and a short reporc
on the discovery was issued in
August of that year. Since that
time additional field work has
extended the known occurrences
into other counties and revealed
an entirely new bauxite area
near Salem.
Consideralbe interest in the
al. minum-bearing deposits has
been shown by some of the large
industrial companies, and Alcoa
Mining company, a subsidiary of
the Aluminum Co. of America,
is at present engaged in a large-
scale drilling and exploration pro­
ject on these deosits in Wash­
ington and Columbia counties.
F. W. Libbey, W. D. Lowry
and R. S. Mason of the depart­
ment staff are the authors of the
97-page publication, which dis­
cusses the geology and economics
of the deposits and describes the
94 localities where the bauxite
has been found. Not all of these
