Worlds Water Speed
Record Broken With
2O2 MPH in Turbojet

ULSWATER, England, Up -
Donald Campbell broke tn e
worlds water speed record Satur-
day, setting a mark Of 202.32
miles an hour.
The "a year old speed king
raced his turbojet Bluebird over
the water of Ulswater Lake to
break the old record Of 1884
miles an hour set by American
Stanley Sayres three years ago.
Campbell, son of the late auto
and boat speed racer Sir Malcolm
Campbell, set the new mark be-
fore small crowd that only got
glimpse of his Bluebird in the
spray.
Two men have died trying to
break the record since Sayres set
it on Lake Washington.
Campbell waited anxiously
after returning to the boathouse
for the official announcement that
he had broken the record-then
leaped into the air with joy. He
was holding his hands to his back
as if in some pain, however, sug-
costing he might have strained
himself in the tremendous speed
run.

Asbestos

Asbestos was known in Alaska
in prehistoric times and has been
found in excavations on ancient
village sites between Shungnak
and Kiana on the Kobuk River,
the same area within which it is
now beginning to be mined. Its
presence on Dahl Creek was noted
as early as 1910, but as the fiber
was then judged unsuitable for
spinning no further attention was
paid, to it until 1881 when Irving
Reed Of the Territorial Dept. of
Mines visited the region. He sent
to the Bureau Of Mines at Wash

Dept. of Mines
Bulletin For July
Commercial Grade Uranium


The big news of the year to
date is that commercial grade
Mountaineering material has fl
nally been discovered in Alaska.
The area as found thus far is
limited and no tonnages have
been blocked out contrary to
what some newspapers report,
but the grade is definitely COM
mercial.
The actual discovery of radio
active mineral was made in May
by Jan and Don Ross, a husband
and wife team flying aerial recon-
naissance with nucliometer in a
Piper Cub aircraft.

ington samples of chrysotile as
bestos of high quality, Later, as
part of the search for the strategic
minerals, both territorial and fed
eral engineers and biologists ex-
amined the area in 1943 and 1914,
and the work of the Bureau of
Mines was continued into 1945.
The Kobuk River asbestos dis
trict is about 800 miles northeast
Of Nome or $50 miles east of Kot-
zebue on Norton Sound. 1t is cas-
lily accessible by plane or by river
boat from Kotzebue. The deposits
are found in a range Of mountain
paralleling the river and some 10
to 20 miles north Of it. These are
known as the Cosmos Hills at the
east and Jade Hills at the west.
The district is about IS miles
long from east to west and ex-
tends from the Kogoluktuk River
to Jade Greek. The Cosmos Hills
rise to about 1000 feet, but the
Jade Hills are higher. The range
is cut by a number of southwark
flowing streams: the Kogoluktuk
River, Dahl Creek, Wesley Creek,
Camp Greek, Cosmos Creek, and
Shungnak interviewing across
or out of the Cosmos Hills and
Amber River, Redstone River
and Jade Creek cut through Jade
Hills.
The mountain mass consists of
ancient sediments, graywackes,
and limestone, now represented
mainly by schist. These rocks
were intruded by an ultrabasic
rock, presumably a peridotite but
now a mass of serpentine In the
Cosmos Hills the serpentine seems
to be a sill resting on the meta
morphic rocks.
Jade IS also found, in one place
as veinlet in asbestos, but main
ly in the form of large boulders
of float.
Though the Kobuk asbestos is
the best known SO far, other de-
posts are fairly widespread thru
out Alaska. A deposit on Bear
Creek, Admiralty Island, has been
known for many years. A large
deposit has been reported to exist
north Of the Yukon River in the
vicinity Of Rampant. A new as
bestos deposit in the Mentasta
Pass area was located in 1854 A
deposit in the Hyder district has
been optioned.
Samples Of asbestos, mostly Of
poor grade, are sent into the TDM
assay office quite often from near

EDWARD j. SAXTON, Helena, con-

tographers of the US. and Canada,
will take up additional duties with the
livestock division of Montana Farmer
Stockman beginning the first of the
year.
For 10 years Saxton has been sought
by livestock breeders all through the
west; their top animals have posed be-
fore the lens of his big 14-inch Speed
Graphic. Prior to combining his work
strictly to livestock photography, he
worked as an advertising poster and ad
layout specialist on the west coast for
several years. Later he operated a
photo shop in Billings before the war.
Born in Nebraska, Saxton hit Helena
in three-cornered trousers. He returned
there from war work in 1916 and will
continue to make the capitol city his
home and office. Both are located at
922 Stuart Street.

Livestock Notes
By LARRY GILL

MY OLD FRIEND and claSSmate,
Ray Woodward of the us. Range
Station at Miles City, by-lined a story
appearing in cornbelt publication last
week. IN this story he reemphasized
what he calls the advantages of cross
breeding beef cattle. Ray says that the
reason that crossbreeding has not pro-
crossed as rapidly in beef cattle pro-
duction as in swine, sheep and poultry,
is there is strong desire for uni
formity'' for aesthetic rather than
practical reasons"
Rays list of prime advantages for
crossbreds is no doubt accurate and
sincere. Crossbred beef cattle do have
hybrid vigor, and most certainly COM
parison of their increased vigor against
inbred or linebred lines will show up
strong. The big question is, how does
that comparison show up against strong
Outcrosses within breeds? Secondly,
where does one go in the crossbreeding
program after the first few rounds?
More crossbreeding, more variations,
more unknowns; back into the existing
purebred strains or just create another
purebred strain from the crossbred
strain?
But all the hybrid yigor in the world
hasn't convinced even small fraction
of the commercial cattlemen in this
area that crossbreeding would make
them more money and less work. In
fact, a good share of those that have
tried the system have changed back
about as quickly as possible, the
aesthetic factors involved dropping
where they may.
wish to make no point of disregard
ing the work, or the statistical data
compiled by the stations over long
period of years. However, if the prac-
tice of crossbreeding is going to in
volve a greater search for better pure
bred Sires used as parent stock,
search not only within one breed but
all three, if more work is going to be
involved, more investment in what
might be called a "seed stock" herd,
then crossbreeding is some distance
down the road yet.
Undoubtedly much work might be
done in ways and means of upgrading
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-12-15

the quality of the purebred strains we
now. have. And if we are to follow the
market dictates, this cannot be a
straight weight-for-age upgrading pro-
gram either. The 90O-1 900 pound ami
NAL in marketable condition is finding
the top market price in today's stock
yards. The 1,2OO-1, 400 pound animal is
taking licking. The weight factor
must be blended into both the quality
and age factor according to present
trends.
Economically speaking, females in
the animal kingdom are generally
roundly outsold by the males. Not so at

Angus COW sold as the sale-topper in

Because Washington banks are
interested in competing on more
even terms for real estate loans.
they were well represented at
yesterdays hearing on Senate
bill 1876.
All banks and trust companies
here are regulated by the con-
troller of the currency and there
fore are governed by regulations
for national banks. which the bill
proposes to liberalize.
The bill would liberalize con-
ventional loans by increasing
maximum maturities to 20 years
from 10 years and allow loans
of up to 662s per cent of the
appraised value rather than the
present 60 per cent.
It also would liberalize con-
struction lending by frightening
maturities to nine months from
six months and permitting banks
to lend up to so per cent of their
capital and surplus rather than
Just SO per cent of their capital.
It also would permit business and
industrial loans maturing up to
18 months.
Reilly, Addison Speak
John A. Reilly, president of
the Second National Bank, and
Francis G. Addison, jr., presi-
dent of the Security Bank, both
testified in favor of the proposal,
which has been Endorsed by the
Controller of the Currency and
the American Bankers Asso-
citation.
AS chairman of the Real
Estate Mortgage Committee of
the ABA's Savings and Mortgage
Division, Mr.. Reilly said:
Passage of this bill not only
would enable national banks to
compete on a more equal basis
in the conventional real estate
mortgage market, but also would
serve as a strong incentive for
national banks to make greater
use of conventional real estate
loans and depend less on the
Use of Government guaranteed
and insured loans with their
extremely liberal terms
THE 20-year maturity on the
conventional loan also would
eliminate necessity for the bank
to ref1nance such a loan at the
end of the tenth year. 1t would
result in a real saving both to
the customer and the bank" he
said.
The longer maturity on con-
struction loans would be more
realistic in view of frequent
construction delays and the so
per cent rule on both capital
and surplus would just about
double the lending capacity of
the banks, he added.
Asks Alternative Limit
Speaking as chairman of the
Law and Legislative Committee
of the District Bankers Associa-
ton, Mr.. Addison Joined in sup
port of the ABA plan. of which
he was one of the early hackers.
He also proposed that the
present rule limiting real estate
loans of national banks to so
per cent of time deposits be
amended to read 80 per cent of
time deposits or 20 per cent of
total deposits, which ever is
largest"
Mr.. Addison's additional pro-
posal has not been approved
by the Controller of the Cur
rency and the ABA has taken
no stand on it.
While two banks may have
about the same amount of total
