Show Hew Ore Shipmenf Will It Help Heat Homes, Fight Disease? First truckload of uranium oro from its Waterfall group in Dry Valley, Utah has been shipped to the buying station at Thompsons, Utah it was reported by Roger Conrow, president of Uranium Ventures, Inc., of Grand Junction. Mr. Conrow said the ore represented development production on a 250 foot shaft. The waterfall group is on a Homestake lease held by Uranium Ventures. Face of the shaft is now in ore, Mr. Conrow said, and production shipments will be commenced sometime after the first of the year. Although no assay had yet been received on the first shipment, Mr. Conrow said core drilling had shown the ore body to be .30 per cent uranium oxide and 2 per cent vanadium.

The proven capability of the harnessed atom, as the President told the UN, is demonstrated by -the record of what scientific research and individual initiative have accomplished.
