Interview with Philip Brodsky, a pharmacologist, a civil servant, an Army veteran, and a survivor of the Bataan Death March, concerning his experiences as a prisoner-of-war of the Japanese during World War II. Brodsky discusses the Japanese bombing of Nichols Field, the fall of Bataan and his capture, the Bataan Death March, Camp O'Donnell (1942), Palawan Island (1942-1944), the hell ship to Formosa (1944), and his liberation.

Abstract: The results of both dry and wet attritioning of Temple Mountain ore are presented. In order to obtain effective attritioning on this ore, the amphaltite must be removed before attritioning. With the asphaltite present, dry attritioning causes a build-up of asphaltite on the surface of sand grains, with consequent loss of uranium values. In wet attritioning, the asphaltite is not broken down or attritioned, because of its low specific gravity and resilience.

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines discussing the mine stations and safety cars used to reach miners in distress. As stated in the report, "the purpose, equipment, personnel, and construction of its safety cars" is presented. This report includes an illustration, and a map.

Letter from D. W. Kempner to Mary Jean discussing divorce business, television purchases, litigation, and their health.

Letter from D. W. Kempner to Mrs. David F. Weston discussing about Mary Jean's divorce with Oakleigh and the law suit, settlement details, newspapers publishing the news.

Letter from D. W. Kempner to Mrs. David F. Weston thanking Mr. and Mrs. David for their greetings on the occasion of his anniversary which they spent quietly in Gladstone with Mary Jean, who signed a separation agreement with Oakleigh and the divorce will require either Oakleigh or Mary Jean going to Reno. Letters sent to her should be addressed as Mrs. Kempner Thorne.

Letter from D. W. Kempner to Mrs. Frances Ullman thanking her for the wishes she sent on the occasion of his Anniversary. Mr. Kempner mentions that they had pleasant time with Mary Jean who has now signed a divorce with Oakleigh and one of them will have to go to Reno with their attorney to complete the same. Danny is doing well, Mr. Kempner returned with Gladys by Plane and Jeane returns by automobile.

Abstract: Steamboat Springs is a presently active equivalent of epithermal gold-silver ore-forming systems. Hot-spring sinter deposits contain small amounts of gold, silver, mercury, antimony, and arsenic. Hot-spring activity probably started before extrusion of the basaltic andesite of Steamboat Springs. Old sinter from the Steamboat Springs system occurs in gravels above and below the basaltic andesite. Intense hydrothermal alteration, including almost complete replacement by hydrothermal potassium-feldspar, has affected the basaltic andesite. Three plagioclase separates of differing potassium content from fresh basaltic andesite yielded potassium-argon ages of 2.52 to 2.55 m.y. Basaltic andesite almost completely replaced by potassium-feldspar yielded an age of 1.1 m.y. The source of energy for the thermal convection system is probably a large rhyolitic magma chamber that supplied the pumice and from which the rhyolite domes were emplaced. Sanidine and obsidian from four of the rhyolite domes yielded potassium-argon ages of 1.15 to 1.52 m.y. and obsidian from one of the northeastern domes yielded apparent ages of 2.97 and 3.03 m.y. The data indicate that hydrothermal activity has occurred at Steamboat Springs, possibly intermittently, for more than 2-1/2 m.y. These data agree with other radiogenic age studies indicating 1- and 2-m.y. lifetimes for the hydrothermal systems that generate …
