Show I Shale project VERNAL - The initial surface construction at the White River Shale Project near here is in its "winding down stage" as Frontier-Kemper Constructors Con-structors are 140 feet into the first mining access shaft and the foundation has been placed on the ine service building. For the next three or four months there will be as many as 100 workers at the project site, 30 miles southesast of here. During the next year and a half White River Shale Coopative, composed com-posed of SOHIO, Sun and Phillips oil companies, will sink $100 million into the project. Half of that amount is put into the poroject in lieu of the last two $25 million lease payments for land tracts. |
