Site of Ancient City in Oregon
C B Watson argues in the Portland Oregonian that the old riverbed near Ashland and the fossil lakes around Silver Lake suggest a vast ancient river system and a prehistoric city site. He details grainy cliffs, eroded bowlders, and possible ties to Siskiyou island and Cre taceous beaches, proposing grand coastal and mountain shifts over millions of years. He notes fossil beds near Silver Lake and asks whether the legendary ruins may mark a city along the old river channel, inviting further study.

Molybdenum in Steel Strength Explored by Bureau Study
Bureau of Mines experiments led by Dr. H W Gillett show molybdenum steels rival other alloy steels in endurance and depth hardening when combined with nickel or chromium. Heat treatment differences affect quenching stresses, with ordinary structural uses showing no clear fatigue advantage. Clean steel yields more reliable endurance, while inclusions cause variability and potential failures under vibration. Tests compare molybdenum, cerium, and nickel-silicon steels, with navy series to follow.

Tin Catches Cold and Crumbles in Winter
A historic snippet explains tin’s cold vulnerability. In northern Russia, tin develops gray spots on its surface, grows, and crumbles to a powder. Stored shiploads once crumbled to dust after winter. Heat returns tin to its shiny metal form, but extreme cold can revert it to a dull powder.
