Goodner, president of the affiliate company of Standard Oil Co. of California and Barber Oil Corp., made the announcement. An increase of 1,000 tons daily of gilsonite in the county is planned through new methods of mining. A new method of mining using tremendous water pressure to dislodge rock is being planned. The use of water is expected to eliminate many dangers that have harrassed gilsonite jnining, such as the explosion that occurred in the Bonanza Mine near Vernal in 1953 due to dust collection. Present production 'of gilsonite in Uintah County is 500 tons daily. This figure is expected to double when wofk is started on the huge Cowboy vein, the largest gilsonite vein in the world. A pipeline to carry the gilsonite from the mines to a high octane gasoline plant in western Colorado is also being planned. The line will contain water that will carry the gilsonite. A large new market for the Utah mineral has been created by the development of a metallurgical grade coke for use in the aluminum industry as an electrode. Also the separation of oils and gasses from the gilsonite has developed into another industry. The American Gilsonite Company is expected to continue expanding its sales of the valuable material for use as insulating materials, paint, protec-- I tive coatings and battery box man- ufacture.
