Mining and mail by Lewis A. McArthur. Reprinted/rom The Ore Bin, /946, v. 8, no. 9, p. 66 In nearly a century of Oregon postal history, the influence of miners, geologists, and metallurgists has been sufficient 10 produce almost eighty post office names. A list of them by counties is given below. There are possibly some omissions in the list. The writer strained a point when he listed Rock Creek, Soap Creek, and Arock. These names have no particular mineral significance. but it is probably better to have them in the record than to leave them out. The fact that Jasper was named for Jasper Hills, a prominent Lane County resident, does not detract from the general interest of the name. Oretown in Tillamook County is a synthetic name with Oregon as a base, so readers need not go there with pick and pan. Post office names only are included in this list.

Osborne, Jr. New edition of 'Geology of Oregon' published Geology oj Oregon, by E.M. Baldwin, now in its third printing, is an excellent review of the subject. The text clearly describes those rock formations and geologic processes that have resulted in the numerous geologic features of the state. Many outstanding photographs and diagrams vividly present a pictorial review of crustal features of the earth. This book is a must - a well illustrated and referenced presentation on rock formations and geologic processes, which together tell the historical geology story of the state of Oregon.
