From pages 120 -121 of the official Apollo 14 mission transcript:

Does anyone know who "Farouk" is, what is meant by "dikes" and who is mining what?
(EDIT) I think Farouk is this guy:

... 03 12 23 08 CMP: It's got one of the biggest central peaks around. It's a very unusual crater. But there are some dark areas in it that Farouk has gone on record as saying they are dikes.
03 12 23 37 CMP High Sun. That's one right down there; Just shows how it dominates the whole photograph. Just an extremely bright crater. Sun angle Just isn't high enough for you to see it here .... Yes, they're mining it [?], I think.
