Fish Love Messiness On Rivers

Good Morning,
Sent this out to  the Curry Pilot newspaper this morning. A slight rebuttal to carl page. I hope it is under or close to, the 250 word limit.

HI,
Here is a letter that will, maybe, help people to understand that nature is not broken, so don't try and fix it.
LAND SLIDES ARE GOOD, (FOR THE FISH)
Recent scientific studies (on line ahead of print in the journal GEOLOGY) have proven the benefits of land slides for the health of a river and the fish. http://uonews.uoregon.edu/archive/news-release/2013/2/large-ancient-landslides-delivered-preferred-upstream-habitats-coho-salm  This research tells us if you introduce variable geology, big landslides, messiness that happens in the world, fish appear to love that. They seem to respond to the heterogeneity that is so inherent in most real landscapes. Nature is messy, and the fish have adapted to that. The massive land slides that occurred several years ago were due to massive rains more than man himself.
Higher water temperatures in the Chetco can come from nature itself. Mt. Emily, a dead volcano, but still with heat radiating from it into the Chetco and the wide shallow river that absorbs more heat than a narrow river would.
If a species is "endangered or threatened" before the intervention of man, maybe they were meant to die out and let another species start. How many times have we read about an imported species that took over and destroyed native species.Not just fish either, Scotch Broom as an example.  Leave nature alone and she will take care of things herself.
There used to be great salmon runs on the Chetco, but they are dwindling. I think they started falling off when the extreme environmentalists began trying to "fix a river that Mother Nature says wasn't broken". Some people feel the need to interfere with other peoples' businesses, jobs and lives. No one is against conservation, we are all just tired of the extreme environmentalists policies.

GOLD! Tracking The Elusive Yellow By Jack E. Rowe

GOLD! Tracking The Elusive Yellow
By Jack E. Rowe

There are very few articles that actually direct you to their secret gold hunting methods. Oh yes there are plenty of suggestions in the many books and videos' that will help and most are correct as far as they go. My goal is not to besmirch these helpful tools, but to add to this information. I have spent a good part of my life in search of the yellow stuff. And in the process I have observed a few things that will help shorten the process and help eliminate the luck factor. No one is going to direct you to their honey hole. This would be like advertising their bank account number. There are some very good gold claim maps on the internet that will improve your chances considerably. They are very reasonably priced at about $ 20.00 each. Most are sold by the state. Most of these maps were made from the USGS GEO Communicator sight before it was taken down. These maps show both open and closed claims. Continue reading...

Pitfalls to Filing a Gold Claim


Pitfalls to Filing a Gold Claim

Now that the price of gold has risen to unheard of prices, A lot of people are gaining interest in mining, or at least panning. Places to mine or prospect are getting hard to find as more and more of our public land is withdrawn from mineral exploration. I am being asked to help people find a claim or a place that they can claim. This is no simple task. Oh sure there is open ground in the US forest that can be claimed, but you first need to do some prospecting to find a place that will pay you to mine. This can take some time and a lot of work or fun depending how you look at it.
Myself I really enjoy the hunt. The first thing I would do is advise anyone that is willing to take on this adventure is to spend some time in the library and research old claims.  Continue reading...
