Inasmuch as it is an accept-fac- t that Albert R. Lyman knows more about the early days of San Juan county than almost anyone else, we gave the letter to him to answer. Phillips letter and that of the Old Settler follow: Whittier School 5975 West 3500 South Dear Sirs: My class is studying Indians. Were there any Indians before the white man in your county? What were their names? What crops did they grow? What Indians live there now? Have you found any Indian relics? What are the names of the relics? What is your county important for? Would you tell us some history of your county? Yours truly Philip Nielson Room 22 Philip Nielson, Whitter School, 4th Grade 5975 West, 3500 South, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Philip: Your letter of December 10th, addressed to Department of Publicity, Monticello, Utah, has been given to the San Juan Record to answer, and we take pleasure in giving the information for which you ask, each question in its order. Yes, many Indians were living in San Juan County when the San Juan pioneers came to settle here in 1880. They were Piutes and Navajos. About all the crops they raised was a little corn; the Piutes were hunters; the Navajos gave all their attention to their sheep and horses. Indians of these two tribes still live here, but they have made much progress in these seventy-eigh- t years, and are taking up the ways of white men. Many of them speak English, and some are educated. Many relics have been found in quite a heavy population. We find dishes, old grist mills, bows and arrows, fragments of cloth, tobacco pipes and the mumified bodies of men, women and children. Our country is importance now for its rich oil wells and uranium mines, which have mounted high in value above the farming and live stock interests of earlier years. The history of San Juan is too long to tell in a letter. White settlers came here first in 1879, and the first permanent town was begun at Bluff on the 6th of April, 1880. For a long time it was a wild region with outlaws all but running the country. The two main towns are Monticello and Blanding, but other places are growing, for the population has doubled in the last three or four years. Thanks Philip for your letter; give our best wishes to your grade, and tell them that San Juan is about the biggest and so far as we are concerned, the most desirable county in Utah. Yours very sincerely The Old Settler. Pay to State Up On County Royalties TU II WHEEL ALIGNMENT FRONT COMPLETE WHEEL E-U- BRAKE It seems a fair sized segment Utahs employers are upping their business costs without rea- son. Records of the Utah department of Employment Security bear out this statement, and although these employer errors mean more money in the departments treasury, the department isnt pleased about it. This brief rundown, and one to follow, will explain some of the mistakes employers are making. An attempt will be made to show why these mistakes are costly and wasteful, and what can be done about them. Here is what happens to a worker when he loses his job, and here is what an employer can do to save himself money, and ease the problem of the newly unemployed. After the worker has filed his claim for jobless tpay, the employment security department must get certain information about his past employment and earnings. So, to every employer who may have had this applicant on his payroll during the fifteen months before the application, goes an Inquiry. Asked for is exact information on just how long the worker was in the employe of each employer and how much the worker was paid in wages. Penalty Provided Under the Utah Employment Security Act an employer has t hours, after rejust ceipt of the inquiry, to fill in the required information and get it in the mail. If he fails to meet this deadline, he is charged witn a ten dollar penalty. For several reasons the Department of Employment Security has a lot of concern In this matter. Here are a few facts which indicate how much Utah employers are backsliding. In 1954, 93 percent of the reports were returned on time. In 1955, the number on time had dropped to 90 per cent; in 1956, to 87 per cent; and in 1957, only 85 percent were being promptly returned. forty-eigh- Salt Lake City, Utah. Utah royalties from uranium and oil and gas produced on state school lands are showing a healthy Increase over last year, Charles R. Henderson, State Land Board chairman reports. Uranium leases on state school lands in San Juan County paid the state $352,814 so far in 1957 for 59,666 tons of ore mined, he said. The royalty on uranium is paid on a sliding scale, depending upon the richness of the ore mined. The royalty generally is about 8 to 9 per cent, he said. Mr. Henderson said that the boards new policy of accepting competitive bids for oil and gas leases in proven areas is paying dividends.
