Show Tha Assessment filing for mining claims now due The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) would like to remind the local miners of the deadline for filing assessment work on unpatented mining claims. The owners of an unpatented mining claim must file evidence of annual assessment work or a notice of intent to hold the eialm with the BLM, Utah State Office in Salt Lake City. This information shall be filed or caused to have been filed on or before December 30 of each calendar year following the calendar year in which such claim was located. The filing of this information to the BLM does not preclude states requirement for filing in the county in which the unpatented mining claim exists.

CPS Q is the largest study of its kind ever undertaken. Its purpose is to examine the lifestyles of more than 1.2 million Americans (including more than 22,000 Utahns) to learn about possible relationships of cancer to such personal and environmental factors as nutrition, drugs, occupational exposures, pollution, low level radiation, low tar and nicotine cigarettes and passive smoking. The first follow-u- p was conducted in September of 1984. Initial results from data collected during this are beginning to be follow-u- p lished. pub- Because of Utahs unique lifestyle, researchers were eager to get as much data as possible from Utah. The Utah volunteers responded and gathered a much larger percentage of the population into the study than was possible in other states. Based on Utahs population, there should have been 6,000 Utahns involved in the study, but because of the enthusiasm of Utahs American Cancer Society volunteers, 22,320 persons were interviewed and are now being followed. Utah researchers were also able to concentrate on an older population than was possible in other states which made the information more valuable to the survey. During Septembers follow-uthese same volunteers will check with individuals they enrolled to verify addresses and any name changes. They will also report on the deaths of any study participants since the last follow-uThis information will update the CPS II data bank, which stores all the information contained in the questionnaires. "We intend to keep track of all 97 Grand County participants during the course of the study, said Leystra. Because of the energy and dedication of volunteers involved in the study, and the overall interest in cancer prevention expressed by the participants themselves, our followup goal is to trace 100 percent. By the completion of the third follow-usufficient mortality records will have been accumulated. At that time, an analysis of suspected cancer risk factors will be made by comparing the number of deaths attributed to various cancers Yard of the week "We are beginning to see some from our study, said Leystra, chairman of the study in Grand County. ."Already, a survey of the smoking habits of physicians, nurses and dentists has been published in the JanuaryFebruary issue of CA, the American Cancer Society's 'journal for clinicians. Other important data from CPS II on artificial sweetener use, and a trend toward quitting smoking and lower tar cigarettes among smokers has also emerged.
