...Noranda, in western Quebec, an old prospector slammed down four bags of gold ore on a hotel bar and shouted: "You don't have to figure what this rock runs to the ton; it assays by the pound." At the O'Brien mine near Kirkland Lake, Ont., speculators caressed a new-found slab of what mining men call "jewelry"-a ten-pound chunk of practically pure gold worth $2,000.

But she also defeated National Champion Brenda Helser of Portland, Ore. in the 100-meter sprint. Already it was being said that Ann Curtis, first U.S. girl to break a world record in 15 years (she has broken both the 880-yd. and 800-meter free style), is the greatest freestyler ever developed in the U.S.-perhaps anywhere.
