  • West Texas Fiddlers and the Buddy Holly Center "Hardy Pioneers" And
    Carr: West Texas Fiddlers and the Buddy Holly Center West Texas Fiddlers and the B “Hardy Pioneers” and Amarillo’s Panhandle Fiddle Contests By Joe Carr In the period from 1928 to 1931, at least six fiddle contests were held in Amarillo, Texas, most under the auspices of the Tri-State Fair Association. Contemporary newspaper re- ports offer interesting insights into the workings of the contests and the activities of the contestants, giving us a fascinating glimpse into the lives and fortunes of numerous early Panhandle fiddlers, including noted musicians Eck Robertson, J. T. Wills - father of Western Swing legend Bob Wills, Jess Morris, and others.1 Census statistics indicate just over 15,000 Amarillo residents in 1920, and the town had grown to a city of 43,000 by 1930.2 Amarillo’s older citizens who noticed the changing landscape may have had fond memories of the old days, and the Old Fiddler contests gave them an opportunity to enjoy what was perceived as a fast dying art. The first All Panhandle Old Fiddlers Contest in Amarillo was Loyd obviously felt an appeal based on memories of the “old sponsored by the Tri-State Fair Association and directed by Dr. days” was the best approach to draw a crowd.

One of the required maps deals with surficial materials. This thesis studies the potential of combining RADARSAT-2 SAR images with Landsat-8 optical data, DEM and slope data to map surficial materials in the region around Wager Bay, Nunavut. Two study areas were selected, one on the northern side of the bay (NTS map areas 046E, K, L, M, 056H, I, J) and another one on the southern side (NTS map sheets 046D, E, 055P, 056A, H). The images were classified using a non-parametric classifier Random Forests. The results show that including RADARSAT-2 images in the classification process increases the overall classification accuracy from 92.8% to 98.1% in the north region and 96.7% to 99.3% in the south region.

  • The Kangaroo Island China Stone and Clay Company and Its Forerunners
    The Kangaroo Island China Stone and Clay Company and its Forerunners ‘There’s more stuff at Chinatown – more tourmalines, more china clay, silica, and mica – than was ever taken out of it’. Harry Willson in 1938.1 Introduction In September 2016 a licence for mineral exploration over several hectares on Dudley Peninsula, Kangaroo Island expired. The licensed organisation had searched for ‘ornamental minerals’ and kaolin.2 Those commodities, tourmalines and china stone, were first mined at this site inland and west of Antechamber Bay some 113 years ago. From March 1905 to late 1910, following the close of tourmaline extraction over 1903-04, the Kangaroo Island China Stone and Clay Company mined on the same site south-east of Penneshaw, and operated brick kilns within that township. This paper outlines the origin and short history of that minor but once promising South Australian venture. Tin and tourmaline The extensive deposits inadvertently discovered during the later phase of tourmaline mining were of china (or Cornish) stone or clay (kaolin), feldspar (basically aluminium silicates with other minerals common in all rock types), orthoclase (a variant of feldspar), mica, quartz, and fire-clay. The semi-precious gem tourmaline had been chanced upon in a corner trench that remained from earlier fossicking for tin.3 The china stone and clay industry that was poised to supply Australia’s potteries with almost all their requisite materials and to stimulate ceramic production commonwealth-wide arose, therefore, from incidental mining in the one area.4 About 1900, a granite dyke sixteen kilometres south-east of Penneshaw was pegged out for the mining of allegedly promising tin deposits.
