When a way is found to refine these materials out of the ground, Simonds probably will end up richer than Charley Steen, the uranium king from Moab. x . Bat for the time being, he is content to live the easy life with his female companions on his property, which is only 3S miles from Bullfrog. Although Simonds was once married, he doesn't have a wife now and seems to be happy to have his animals as his only companions. His animal companions are well trained, too. For instance, be can go over to the edge of his pasture and yell: "Here Alice , . . here Nancy." And Alice and Nancy come galloping up to him. - Once Inside his house, he speaks to June: Go shut the door, June." 1 , And June shuts the door. A recent visitor to hie camp was not feeling top well and Simonds told Trini to "pray for the lady."
