•The Bawl Mill •Our Readers Say Donald E. Karstedt, Idaho •Legislative and Regulatory Update Occupancy rules discussed Comment period open for small-scale mining and dredging in Oregon •California Wilderness Coalition and the Nature Conservancy Recruit Government Employees to Carry Out Huge Land Grab--US Geological Survey, US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and California State Employees Attend Environmental Extremist Conference ICMJ has obtained a copy of the conference roster and the sponsors list. It's very disturbing to see both the US Geological Survey and California State Parks listed as sponsors after our elected officials declined to endorse the Treaty. •Drywashing Rules Clarified The 43 CFR 3809 Final Rule previously stated that hand and battery-operated drywashers were to be considered under the "casual use" provision, but there was no mention of gas-powered drywashers. This led to much debate among prospectors and BLM staffers. •Mineralized Calderas in Colorado by Edgar B. Heylmun, PhD Gold, silver, and base metals have been mined, but calderas could contain many other valuable metals as well. •The Keystone Gold-Copper District, Medicine Bow Mountains, Southeastern Wyoming by W. Dan Hausel, Senior Economic Geologist, Wyoming Geological Survey Most deposits in the Keystone region are gold- and copper-bearing pyritic quartz-carbonate veins found within northwest-trending tensional faults. Some sparse mineralization is also found within some northeast-trending shears (Currey, 1965). •Miners Calendar •Picks & Pans: Mining Tungsten Ore--A Case History by Dr. Ralph E. Pray Our effort figured to be a quick-start underground operation, with very little investment. •Gold in Oregon by Edgar B. Heylmun, PhD Oregon is noted for pocket deposits of gold, where rich masses of gold and quartz are found at shallow depths. •Aussie Gold—A Look at the Northern Territory by A.R. Cameron The Northern Territory has about six hundred proven gold deposits and has produced nearly 12 million ounces with a further 15 million ounces to be recovered. •The Phoenix Gold Mine: A Brief History by Sam E. Phifer, PG Not only was the Phoenix mine noted for the size and richness of its vein, but also due to the fact that a German mining engineer named Adolph Theis developed the chlorination process here in about 1889. The process, which I'll discuss in detail later on, enabled the early miners to successfully treat sulfide gold ore and to recover a substantial amount of the values that would have otherwise been lost. •Calico Mine by Reggie Gould The tunnel opened into a huge underground room, and the eerie part was that there were people in this room--lots of them--and they were frozen in time. The hair stood up on the back of my neck. •Mining Stock Quotes •Mineral & Metal Prices •Looking Back •Melman on Gold & Silver by Leonard Melman •Mine Market—Classified Ads (10 pages) |
