Stewart Geologist ***************************************** OREGON'S MINERAL INDUSTRY IN 1958 By Ralph S. Mason * The value of minerals produced in the State in 1958 was within a fraction of one percent of the all-time high reached in 1957 - despite a general business recession during the year. A preliminary estimate by the U. S. Bureau of Mines of the value of Oregon's mineral production is $42,118,000. Generally speaking, the Bureau bases its valuation figures on minerals as they leave the pit or mine. The value of the same minerals at point of use in the State or shipping point for out-of-State movement woulcl'be several times the above amount. If mineral production were reported in the same manner as other commodi ties in the State the value would be in the neighborhood of $100,000,000. Chrome mining came to an abrupt halt in May; Harvey Aluminum Company energi zed its two potl ines at The Dalles in August; cutbacks in zirconium produc­ tion were announced by Wah Chang Corporation in September; the first pound of uranium "yellow cake" was produced by Lakeview Mining Company in December; and Government support for quicksilver terminated December 31.

The timber sale program volumes are displayed in millions of board feet as calculated The allowable sale quantity (ASQ) portion is considered to be live and green when scheduled for sale Additional dead salvable saw timber, firewood, posts, poles, etc will also be sold on the Forest These sales may also contain some ASQ volume which will be determined during the sale layout period The first 5 years of this IO-year timber sale program identifies sales by Ranger District.

Riding on the leading edge of the moving North American plate, Oregon reflects the underlying mecha- nism of the plate collision boundary in virtually all aspects of its geology. In the seven years since the fourth edition was written, an irregular but continuing drumbeat of earthquakes reminds us of the forces beneath our feet and the need to prepare for catastrophic changes be they quakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, floods, or massive earth movements. Most profound is the discovery of irrefutable evidence that these catastrophes have been visited on the state quite regularly over the past few thousands of years as well as the absolute surety that similar disasters will oc- cur in the near and distant future.

For the next nine years, she would keep "pecking away" on her manuscript, gathering materials from files at the Supervisor's Office, and contacting former Fremont personnel now dispersed throughout the country. Bach's experience on the Fremont provided her with a unique understanding of the complex network of personnel and programs that lay behind the management of over 1.1 million acres of central Oregon forest land. Although her experiences disposed her to begin the History, two aspects of her character — her energy and her attention to detail — are responsible for its final shape.

  • Summary of the Analysis of the Management Situation
    CHAPTER II SUMMARY OF THE ANALYSIS OF THE MANAGEMENT SITUATION INTRODUCTION This chapter summarizes resource conditions on the Forest and the Forest's ability to supply significant market and nonmarket goods and services in response to public demands A detailed discussion of resource supply conditions and projected demands can be found in the Analysis of the Management Stuation (March 1985) on file at the Fremont National Forest Headquarters. Chapter II is divided into two sections. The first discusses the current special conditions of the resources of the Forest. These discussions include a general assessment of the supply and demand projections for most of the resources The second section lists information and research needs identified during development of the Plan RESOURCE CONDITIONS AND SUPPLY AND DEMAND TRENDS This section discusses the special resource conditions as of March, 1985 that influence the resolution of the issues, management concerns, and resource oppottunities. It is presented in two parts The first part discusses the supply and demand condtions of the key resources pertinent to the resolution of the major issues identified in Chapter I of the accompanying EIS. A table summarizing supply conditions and demand projectionsis presented at the end of the first part. The second part discusses the conditions of the other resources important and relevant to understanding the remaining issues and management concerns but less influential in the resolution of the major issues. As used in this section of the document, demand is defined as a particular want or need at some point in time. The want or need is assumed to represent a willingness on the part of the Forest user to pay for the desired product or service at that point in fime.
