Quartz on the Ouachita National Forest Present day quartz crystal mining operations are surface operations generally involving from one to three operators using a single backhoe and occasionally a bulldozer, primarily to remove the overburden from the crystal bearing quartz veins. It is anticipated that much of this crystal was mined during World War II when quartz crystal was in demand by the war industry for use as oscillators in radio equipment primarily required by the military (cultured quartz crystals grown under laboratory conditions from massive quartz is now utilized for this and related purposes). Quartz crystal mining declined with a drop in the tourist population in the early 1900's, but picked back up in the late 1920's when paved roads were constructed in the Ouachitas. www.fs.fed.us /oonf/minerals/quartz.htm   (4964 words)

If a tiny biotech firm in Denmark has its way, a lowly member of the watercress family might someday be a tool in the fight against the limb-destroying scourge of land mines. www.usatoday.com /news/science/2004-02-02-cress-mines_x.htm   (375 words)
