(AP) Discovery of an isolated rich deposit of tungsten, zinc, and uranium on the Southern California desert was reported yesterday by a mining engineer. Weldon Draper of Altadena, said that assays indicated tungsten potential that is "absolutely fabulous" and zinc and run as high as 8 to 15 per cent of tungstein "with little or no imof Some of the samples assayed 6 per cent zine, Draper and Eisenhauer said. Draper said the California Division of Mines had found uranium or pitchblende running as high as nearly half of one per cent in some samples.

THE SAMPLES, Draper said, were taken from veins which he says criss-cross 3,000 acres of desert that he and a group of friends own and have prospected for year. They call themselves the Tungsten Fields Associates. Draper, a former University of Southern California trackman, he was looking for Wollastonite, used in making of glass, when he and his geologists found the veins. Some of the veins run 800 or 900 feet on the surface, he said. A drift 40-foot shaft and 345 feet of exploration have confirmed the deposits run deep, too, he added.

There are some 35 veins in all, he says. ONE OF the geologists, James Slosson, head of the geology department of Los Angeles Junior College, estimated the commercial tungsten deposits might be the largest yet found in California. Draper said one tungsten pert had advised him the deposit may prove to be the largest in North America. "There are 2 million tons of tungsten on the surface alone," Draper told a reporter. "It could well be there are 10 or 100 million tons on the property." Tungsten is used for electric light bulb filaments and has increased in value in recent years because it also is used in manufacturing jet airplane engine parts.

CUTTS Last night whopping big audience that spread itself on blankets beyond the Encanto Park bandshell amphitheater, gave an enthusiastic reception to the first pops concert by the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra.

Advance publicity stressed. so emphatically that this was not a long-hair program, that it must have surprised the orchestra and Conductor Leslie Hodge to receive the most resounding applause after the longest -haired number on the program, RimskyKorsakov's "Themes from Scheherazade." All of which goes to show that public taste is often underestimated, In this connection, the pioneering work of the Phoenix Symphony over many years certainly has not been in vain. ANOTHER big hit was Le Roy Anderson's "A Trumpeter's Lullaby." This brings up an aspect of the pops concerts which might be improved upon. Last night this reviewer purposely sat in various stics.

Starting off with a stirring performance of "The JanuaryFebruary March" by Don Gillis (repeated at the end), Morton Gould's ingratiating "Pavanne" and Nacio Brown's buoyant "Doll Dance" led up to the ever lar "Deep Purple" by Peter De Rose, followed by the short and sweet "Tango in by Albeniz. The "Juba Dance" from "In the Bottoms" by R. Nathaniel Dett didn't project as well as the "Overture To Kismet," based on Borodin's colorful dances, larized as "A Stranger In dise." Gerhard Winkler's "Dancing Violins" seemed to catch the strings, as well as the audience, in its steadily-paced spell.

Then followed the waltz from Tschaikowsky's ballet, "The Sleeping Princess," played with spirit and sparkle, and the mactic "Scheherazade." After these, the listeners were sent home happily humming "Old Man River" and other highlights from Jerome Kern's beloved "Showboat."
