This large mountain lion was tracked by the three dogs shown here northeast of Vernal, where it was killed by the hunters. Vernal Chamber Active, Intense In Promotion Vernal, Utah, has the most active chamber of commerce in the Colorado Plateau, so Vernal citizens say. Whether it is approval of a new Umtah High School or support of the Vernal Ram Sale that is needed, the Chamber will be there pushing; whether it is a lookout point for beautiful Ashley Valley overlooking Vernal or support of the Upper Colorado River Storage project that is needed, there will be Vernal Chamber members helping out. Ninety percent of the activity from the Chamber in the past year or more has been centered around the promotion of the Upper Colorado River Storage project and its vital Echo Park. Dam which would be located fifty miles northeast of Vernal just over the Colorado line, according to Dr. T. R.

The industrial development committee has spent a great deal of time in making contact in promoting the construction of the Pacific Northwest natural gas pipeline from the San Juan Basin past Vernal into the Pacific Northwest. This Committee will continue to be active as Pacific Northwest moves their crews into the area this spring to lay the line. The line will serve Vernal city with natural gas as well as serve as a market for nearby oil fields. BUTTE, Mont Nineteen miles northeast of here is one of the first uranium mines brought into production in the United States. But today there are more people going in and out than tiramum cars. In 1951 a California woman suffering from arthritis supposedly visited the mine as a tourist. The next morning, so the story goes, she awoke to find her pain and stiffened muscles were relieved. Her story moved swiftly through arthritic circles, and soon more crippled people were riding the shaft elevator than uranium ore lumps or clods. Owners of the mine installed an electric elevator for stretcher and wheel chair cases. They built a waiting room and hired a nurse to record visitors signs and symptoms before and after the descent into the mine. The owners. Incidentally, do not guarantee results, nor do they make any claims. They merely accept payment of fees from people who believe that, somehow, radiation from the uranium ores in the mine will relieve them of arthritic pain.
