Tentative plans indicate that a base camp will be established at Big Flat from which the search will be conducted. Seven planes have been volunteered for the mission and helicopters will also be available if needed. Commander Strong said he had also invited the riding clubs from Monticello and Bland-into participate. Dan Manning, Richfield, will be in charge of the search on the west side of the river. Mrs. Morrill, wife of the lost planes pilot, is the mother of seven children and unless the plane is found she cannot receive insurance payments which should accrue to her. Due to the number of units that have to participate in the search, Commander Strong said this week that contributions for the necessary gas and oil for these units would be appreciated. The local patrol will stand their own expenses, he said, but they would like to at least pay for the necessary gas for patrols that have to come long distances to get here. W. chosen for " copper mill A new copper ore reducing mill is to be constructed at Kane Creek on U.S. 160, south of Moab, by the American Copper Company, an independent corporation. E. Midlam, a chemist from Dayton, Ohio, on the site now with his wife, is supervising its establishment, while setting up their trailer home an eighth of a mile from the road in the canyon.

At present, all ore is trucked to Provo, over 200 miles away, nearest depot for processing. Completion date for the mill is uncertain. While hopes are for fall of 1962, fall of 1963 seems more likely. Power lines were run in from the highway this week.

Sen. Moss said, however, the Army tests would be of short duration, require no new construction and involve little or no employment of additional personnel.
