SO, FIFTY YEARS of SERVICE NUMBER 26 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1950 SET Uranium Fever is With Spring Few Final plans are presently being drawn for construction, sometime this spring, of a coal tipple at the L D S Welfare mine north of Castle Dale. Personnel of the tipple committee of the General Welfare Committee of the Church met in Springville on Sunday, February 19, and decided on the broad plans for the structure. Attending that meeting from Emery Stake were President E. G. Luke, Shirl McArthur, superintendent of the mine, and Ray McCandless of Huntington. Other key figures at the meet were (Leonard Adams of the general Welfare Committee of the Church and W. W. Clyde of Epingville, prominent contractor of the Mountain West. According to Mr McArthur, an engineer, retained by the Church, will visit the site of the proposed tipple In the near future and will ' subsequently draw up detailed plans for the tipple. Thereafter, as soon as possible, work will oommence on the construction. The tipple is to have a capacity of 500 tons per day, Mr. McArthur advises. Already some excavation work, preparatory to construction has been done. The mine portal is to be changed, and digging of the new tunnel has been started. Some other alterations, effected over the last few months, to accommodate the new tipple, have been made. Cost of the project will be computed on the basis of the drawings and specifications of the engineer.

At the same time, a new tide of filing requests is coming in to the office of the County Recorder, covering an area extending from the Temple Mountains in the southeast north to the San Rafael bridge and Buckmaster in the section of the County. Holding the spotlight at the moment is a claim in Sinbad, about twenty miles south of the San Rafael bridge, where six partners two from Emery County and four from Carbon are at present doing development work. Several load tests of camotite from this claim have been made, and in the last of these the ore proved out richer than that of Temple Mountain. Reports on other load tests are ex pected shortly. The development operations at this claim are under direction of John Petltti of Price, one of the owners.
