Colorado, Florida, Wall Street, and many places in between. The search for uranium ores has now reached a pitch that in some ways surpasses the frenzy of the Gold Rush 100 years ago. If youre up in a plane, uranium hunting with a scintillometer In the uranium happy Colorado Plateau, heed this advice from veteran prospectors: Dont circle back for a second look if the needle goes haywire. Enough people will be watching you maneuver so that by the time you land, the country under your circles will be all staked out. One important result of the big uranium rush is the boost it has given to the relative ranking of this country as a basic producer. Six years ago, the U. S. was hardly in the running; it had what the uncertain prosexperts called pects. But now, Jesse C. Johndirector for raw materials son, Atomic Energy Commission, has revealed that we have become one ef the worlds leading producers. We shall soon be competing for first place (with the Belgian Congo) and part of the time be in first place," says Johnson. Congo ores are of higher grades, however, so the U. S. will probably keep buying from the Congo in big quantities. From the original deposits in the Colorado Plateau, mining has been expanded into South Dakota, Wyoming, California and Nevada. In the Plateau alone there are now more than 550 uranium producers. There are even companies extracting uranium from phosphate rock in Florida. Nobody knows prospectors how many back-yarn are out listening for clicks in counters. geiger Even though some relatively found large ore deposits have been mined in this country, they will be out in a very few years. Johnson says that if prospecting and were to stop today, by 1962 we would be back where we were in 1947. The answer is more discovery. minerOver 100 uranium-bearin- g als are now known to exist. They have been found in small, usually noncommercial deposits m many parts of the country. In the desoPlalate mesas of the Colorado uranteau, where most domestic ium is mined, the chief source is the mineral carnotite. Its a sedimentary type of deposit, usually found in sandstones. Some deposits are bright yellow in color, others pale green or gray Still others have a brownish tinge. The Navajos and Utes who roamed the area hundreds of years ago were the first to find a use for uranium ore.
