There are old, subdued EDITORIAL The following letter appeared in the July with small but 13, 1969 issue of the Salt Lake Tribune: Editor, Tribune: The tribune editorial of July 6 headed (Sawtooth Area Would Benefit AH is so vague and inaccurate that it could appeal only to those uninformed and emotional people who avoid reality. If, as the editorial says, the Sawtooth area is 40 miles north of Sun Valley that puts it in Clayton, Idaho. And if it is 70 miles cast of Boise that puts it 50 miles SSW of Clayton, far south of the Sawtooths, and 20 miles west of the Sun Valley. Sen. Churchs family interests in Robinsons Bar Resort at the mouth of Warm Springs Creek should be investigated, for Robinsons Bar is on the edge of the proposed national recreation area, and Warm Springs Creek drainage is the most complete drainage of the heart of the choice White Cloud Peaks area of the national recreation area proposed by Sen. Church. The White Cloud Peaks area, a part of the general Sawtooth area, is loo large, rough,1 and lough to be spoiled by prospecting or mining activity. On the other hand, new wealth created by discovery of a few mines in the area would help build up recreational facilities of the area. The Sawtooth Peaks area benefits all now and will increasingly do so if not hampered by being declared a national recreation area. National recreational areas, and particularly this one, would benefit a few resort owners and real estate promoters at the expense of the public. As a national recreation area, bureaucratic control by people who really believe that multiple use means recreational use exclusively would be assured. Mining, ranching, logging and then even recreation would suffer, for without constant creation of new wealth as is done by mining, ranching and logging, recreation facilities will lag in development. Hard rock mining is the most efficient means of creating new wealth in the area, for it yields fantastic new local, slate, and national income in very restricted areas. This national recreation area happens to he astride the north trending Antler orogenic belt-- a particularly favorable area for mineral deposits. The Cluv Ion Silver Mine at Gavton, Idaho, is one y example of mining near the northeast edge of the proposed recreation area. I venture to say that no more than one out of ten of the recreation seekers visiting the upper Salmon Kiver area are aware the Clayton Silver mine is there, yet it has quietly produced new wealth through wages, supplies, taxes, much needed metals, and income to the thousands of owners since the 19308. -Dooley P. Wheeler, Jr. craters whose forms are nearly invisible and of uncertain origin. There are young craters with sharp rims, presumed to be of impact origin. One dimple crater, about 6,000 feet west of the center of the landing ellipse, may indicate the extent of collapse in the Mare surface material, or the of crater mechanisms degradation.
