Tungsten, Calcium Flouride Deposits Found in Local Mine The discovery of a massive tungsten and calcium fluoride ore deposit worth at least $35 million was announced today by Vedco at the Wah Wah Mines, Inc., firm's Big Pass Mine near Beaver, Utah. The ore bed lies nearthetopof the mountain vhere the Big Pass Mine claim is located. On its exposed side, it is 300 feet long. geologists had its presence for some suspected time, and as early as July had Vedco Wah Wah confirmed the existence of 40,000 tons of ore worth about $1 12 million. The size and value of the new surface bed, however, were not confirmed until yesterday. We have now proven the existence of 500,000 tons of ore pre- serves, withanestimatedvalueof per ton,' said Frank Turner, $70 and geologist for the Salt Lake City mining corporation, in an interview yesterday. We also have an additional estimated 500,000 tons of ore, Turner continued, for a total estimated value of $70 million in place. And we are presentlyfol-lowin- g a continuation of known surface ores in the lower tunnel of the mine at approximately 500 feet below the surface, in order to prove additional reserves. Both tungsten and calcium fluoride are essential to the steel industry, and according to Vedco Wah Wah Mines officials, there is a ready market for both ores. Tungsten Is used in making tough, nt steel alloys. Calcium fluoride is used as a flux in blast furnace operations. The United States is a leading pro ducer of both ores, but the demand is so great that steel companies must still import much of their supply from foreign countries. The construction of a mill to aid In milling the ore Is now virtually completed on a site about six miles from the Big Pass claim. The mill, which can handle 50 tons of ore per day, Is expected to be In operation by October 15. vice-presid- 23, 1971 SINGLE COPY College-Boun- d Seniors Must Take ACT Test Legion, Auxiliary Hold Meeting Apply Phosphate in Fall for Best Results Students at Beaver High School who are planning to attend college or juniOr college will have five opportunities to take the ACT Test Battery' during the 1971-7- 2 academic year.

When fertilizer is broadcast on alfalfa and improved pasture land in the fall, the fall spring moisture can through move the fertilizer a few Inches Into the topsail where crops can use it In the spring. Crops respond better to phosphate in the early spring than at other times of the year. S you wait till spring to add phosphate, you may be too late for the bla crop response period. 2. The phosphate can be applied and plowed down in the fall on land to be planted to row For the fourth consecutive year, the cost for taking the ACT is $6.

No Loaded Guns in National Parks Carrying loaded firearms or other weapons on National Park lands is a violation of Federal regulations. Federal law allows the transport of unloaded firearms through Parks. 'Unloaded National means that no cartridge or projectile Is in the clip, magazine, or firing chamber. The National Park regulations governing firearm use also applies to the Golden Spike National Historical Site In Box Elder County. The are a of the Park includes the 15 12 miles of railroad grade between the Thlokol Chemical Corporation plant and Rozel. This area Is popular with upland game hunters.

The use of fertilizer In the fall helps the fertilizer dealer by reducing his storage problems and distributing his work load. Thus, he is able to give bet- ter service. Dr. Paul tension soil D. Christensen, exand water specialist, U.S.U. pointed out that there is no need to apply phosphate fertilizer every year. Crops use small of it. Since it does not leach out of the soil with excess water and none of it is lost into the air as a gas it remains in the soil and seldom contributes to pollution problem. The only way it can be lost from the field and cause water pollution Is by soil erosion. An economical profitable practice encouraged by the USU scientists is to apply enough phosphate to maintain a good supply in the soil and then wait several years before repeating the apApply the phosphate plication. according to the crop rotation. That means applying ample phosphate to the crop with the highest need. Then usually little or no phosphate will be required on the other crops. The need for phosphate can be determined by having the soil tested at least once during each rotation.

The warm sunshine shone on the red sandy mountains. The boys were glad their father had sent them on an errand, instead of weeding the vegetable garden at home. The boys were taking a horse to be traded to the Indians for some blankets. As they rode into camp, an old Navaho chief named Frank came out to greet them. He had been waiting for them. He looked at the horse and then waved for someone to bring the blankets. The boys wanted to show their father how grown up they could be and how good a trade they could make. They shook their heads 'no, and told the chief they wanted more. The chief gave them more. Father was waiting for them when they came back. He carefully looked at the blankets, dividing them into two piles. He told the boys that one pile had to go back. Chief Frank welcomed them when they went back with a warm smile. He said, 1 knew you'd come back. I knew your father would not keep so many. He takes care of us, and Is a father to us, too.

In 1858, the John ston's Army was coming to Utah and the people needed to protect themselves. President Brlgham Young called the Saints together in Southern Utah and asked them to go out and search for different ores and metals; so that they could make their own lead, copper, etc. Four men went out. These men were Isaac Grundy, Jesse N. Smith, Tarlton Lewis and William Barton. They finally found old diggings which had been worked by the Spaniards years before. The Indians had also taken ore from there. When Brigham Young was told of the finding of the lead he instructed men to take their families and settle where there was water as near to the lead mine as possible. Early the next Spring, families began u arrive from Parowan. Issac Grundy and Jesse N. Smith were called to take a company of men and open the mines. Minersville was first settled in the Spring of 1859. The loca-Uwas chosen under advice of Apostles Amaza M. Lyman and Charles C Rich.
