  • Ferruginous Bauxite Exploration of the Ferruginous Bauxite Deposits in Northwestern Oregon by a Large Aluminum Company Continued During the Year
    The eRE BIN Volume 2!), No.1 January, 1963 OR EGCN 'S MINERAL INDUSTRY IN 1962 By Ralph S. Mason* Despite severe economic stresses suffered by many segments of the national economy during the year, Oregon's mineral industry maintained its stabilizing role of nearly uniform monthly payrolls in sharp contrast to the largely seasonal agricul­ tural, logging, and tourist industries. Total value of minerals mined in the state will not be known for several months, but preliminary estimates indicate activity during the past year at about the same level as in 1961. A growing awareness of the importance of mineral raw materials to the local economy has resulted in the instituting by several county planning commissions of surveys to identify existing and potential deposits, particularly of sand and gravel, and to take steps toward their protection from urbanization until they can be utilized to their fullest extent. A growing complex of exotic metals producers, fabricators, and research testing fa­ cilities further bolstered local and state economies with rock-solid payroll$. The recent discovery in Oregon of large quantities of a mineral which has possible use in absorbing atomic wastes aroused much interest, despite the lack of any markets at present or in the near future. Meta I s Copper Survey of the state's copper resources was continued by the depart­ ment, which started the long-term project 3 years ago. Ultra-sensitive geochemical techniques capable of detecting 2 parts of copper per mi II ion in surface soils are being employed as an aid in determining possible hid­ den deposits.

Dole STATE GEOLOGIST The ORE BIN Volume 25, No. 3 March, 1963 RECENT VOLCANIC LANDFORMS IN CENTRAL OREGON* By Norman V. Peterson and Edward A. Groh** Introduction As the race to be the first mortals on the moon continues, the questions of how the lunar surface features originated and what rock types they contain are st iII not answered • Many of the lunar configurations that are telescopically visible cer­ tainly resemble volcanoes and features associated with them . Even if only a part of the moon's surface has been formed by valcan ic processes, some of the smaller volcanic forms; such as hummocky lava flow surfaces, spatter cones, and lava tubes could be present. If these features exist, they could provide ready-made shelters to protect men and vehicles from the hostile environment of radiation, high temperatures, and mef:eorite and dust bom­ bardment. A reconnaissance of the Bend-Fort Rock area in central Oregon shows that it has a wealth and variety of fresh volcanic landforms that should be of interest to the planners of our lunar programs as well as to the students of volcanology or to those curious about the rocks of Oregon . Recent Volcanic Activity in Oregon Before discussing central Oregon specifically, it may be well to look at the pattern of Recent volcanic activity in all of Oregon.
