Bristol Silica Company Letters MINING CORPORATION l'. o. Box 536 Grants Pass, Oregon, November 12, 1938. •r. Earl K. Nixon Director, Department of ueology and ~ineral Industries, 704 Lewis Building, Portland, Oregon. Dear Earl: :Mr. Brist9l showed us a letter he recently received from you in regard to his silica deposit near here. ne feel your interest in the matter is from an intimate knpwledge of the importanoe of this raw material to ourselves and to athers in the present planning f9r a manu:tacturing plant near ~onne- ville. · We note Ken Hamblen has discussed this deposit with 7ou and we wish to call your attention to the fact that his re­ port states the deposit was not discovered at the time of »r. Hodge's report and for that reason was not mentioned therein. ~o correct the records, I wish to inform you that I lgQked at this silica deposit ten or twelve ;years ago and have had it in mind ever sinoe; also when .Mr. Bristol left his hugo deposit I told him of the silica near Rogue River, which he afterwards 1ound adaptable. We have had a number of samples analyzed reoently and find the phosphorus content too ~igh for our purpose. ~he de­ termination made by :Mr. La.Zelle included in the .l:i8.lllblen report gives the correct phosphorus an\ hydride content, but seemingly is in error in reducing this return to phosphorus which he re­ ports less than half the correct figure. We are at present unable to find a satisfactory deposit ot silica within reasonable transportation distance of Portland and we are quite hopeful that your ~apartment may be able to assist us, therrefore please advise us if you hear of anltthing suitable for our needs.· ~he ore must have a very low phQBPhQrus content, prob­ ably a maximum of • 005~.

STATE OF OREGON INTEROFFICE MEMO TO: Bristol Silica and Limestone Co. file DATE: November 6, 1986 Jackson County, Oregon Howard Brooks FROM: SUBJECT: Len Ramp, David White and I visited the property on October 17, 1986. We talked with Al Starkey and Vern Shephard. Starkey is mine manager. Shephard is a part of North Idaho Engineering and Development who was doing some exploration work on the dolomite deposit. Exploration plans included surveying, trenching, surface sampling, and compilation of a detailed topographic map from low altitude air photos. Drilling may be done later if warranted. Shephard told me the property is owned by Northwest Basic Industries (NBI). He is working for Ed Young who is a major (controlling?) stockholder of NBI. Young has tentative plans to operate the dolomite mine under an agreement with NBI. Starkey gave us a copy of a report entitled Micro-gravity survey of the Bristol silica and limestone deposit, Jackson County, Oregon by a group of professors and students from the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics, September, 1983. The report mostly theoretical geophysics - no geology - but concludes with the inference that the dolomite deposit extends "for several thousand feet horizontally and one thousand feet or more vertically." and calculated dolomite reserves are 10.5 million tons proven and 21.0 million tons probable.

Benchmark Programs in Six Other States B. Oregon Progress Board Publications Notes References Foreword The development and publication of statistical indicators of the health status and well-being of populations has been increasing in the United States and internationally. These indicators still have less influence on health policy than the publication of data about leading economic indicators has on business decisions. However, indicators of health status are attracting attention among officials at all levels of government as well as among private-sector executives making decisions about such issues as where to locate or relocate operations. The state of Oregon in 1989 began to devise indicators of well-being, calling them benchmarks, as part of a long- term project to improve the economy of the state initiated by then-governor Neil Goldschmidt. The Oregon Progress Board (OPB), a public body whose members are leaders of the community, business, and government, manages the benchmarking process.

Highlighting major political figures, campaigns, ballot measures, and the history of legislative sessions, Tom Marsh traces the evolution of Oregon from incorporated territory to a state at the forefront of national environmental and social movements. From Jason Lee’s first letter urging Congress to take possession of the Oregon Country to John Kitzhaber’s precedent-setting third term as governor, from the land frauds of the early 20th century to the state’s land-use planning goals, from the Beach Bill to the Bottle Bill, this book tells Oregon’s story. Featuring interesting trivia, historical photographs, and biographical sketches of key politicians, To the Promised Land is an essential volume for readers interested in Oregon’s history. TOMMARSH taught high school history in Oregon for twenty-eight years. He represented eastern T O M M A R S H Washington County in the state legislature from 1975 to 1979, and has participated in numerous political campaigns over a span of nearly fifty years. He lives in Salem, Oregon.

    Willamette Hall was dedicated on Oct. 16, 1989, in a Guidelines for Use of the Paul Olum Atrium ceremony that included in Willamette Hall at the University of Oregon Governor Neil Goldschmidt and Senator Mark Hatfield. Environmental protestors, positioned throughout the atrium, enlivened the ceremony. Willamette Hall was the centerpiece of the $45.6 million project that included Cascade Hall, Deschutes Hall, and Streisinger Hall.
