Dick Peterson, first man to achieve aerial prospecting, with airborne scintillating 0 counters, recently completed hours of flying, in an unceasing quest for high percentage uranium. Peterson, who flew lit Wednesday from the vicinity of a recent Kern County discovery near Bakersfield, California, announced discovery during the past week in Kern County of a new. high anomaly area, four square miles long, that has a count almost twice as high as a count obtained directly above the nearby Miracle Mines, in Kern County. He said this is a most promising in dication. 11,-00- . Pacific Building Annex, performs aerial prospecting sorties for that concern. He said it is easier to obtain a more accurate scintillator count from the air than from ground prospecting because ground objects will blank out the horizontal range of ones radia- tion. A feature of the airborne scintillator is, he said, it saves hours of time compared with ground prospecting. The instrument is 1000 times more sensitive than a Geiger counter, Peterson said, adding that counts are eight to 10 times normal background with an airborne scintillator. If there are several isolated hot spots, they will consolidate, of Ura- registering to the same area in Peterson, nium Services, Inc., 463 Union the air, Peterson concluded. Reports 1.81 Ore Mount Nebo Frank Whitney, broker, with offices in the Newhouse Building, said he is impressed with the Royal Uranium report to stockholders, which indicates discovery of 1.81 uranium in the Temple Mountain area of :he San Rafael Swell. The AEC has been increasing its activities in the San Rafael Swell area where the fabulous Pick mines and mines of Consolidated are located. George. H. Patterson, President of Royal, said a grid survey indicates the Temple Mountain discovery could be the outcropping of a large body of ore. Commonwealth Sinks 7 Holes Commonwealth Lead Mining Company has just completed two miles of road from the end of the Atomic Energy Commission road up the Big Draw to the center of the twenty-si- x uranium claims located by the company. It has also completed surveying these claims and will file new mining locations under Public Law 585 as it also filed lease applications with the Atomic energy Commission. Diamond drilling near the end of the new road will be started this week. treasurer of Uranium Corporation, said today the company has sunk seven holes on its five area claims in the Beaver-Mes-a E.

Three holes still to be drilled will go down a little deeper. The location is up on a rim, Cameron .60. said. Within two weeks, Cameron said the scope of the ore body ought to be known. The Beaver Mesa area is proven ground, located near the famous Lumsden mine now producing ' uranium and vanadium, one of the richest owned by the U. S. Vanadium Company. Cameron announced Cherokee-Uta- h also owns seven claims in Little Gyp Valley, San Miguel County, Colorado. The company has an undetermined amount of of blocked out ore, he said.

Part of the galena in this ore lead and 15.3 oz. assayed 71.6 silver. It is believed that this high grade ore will respond at greater depth. From the course of the tunnel, now in a distance of 1,350 feet, it is evident that the above veins dip over the tunnel and in order to find the ore at the tunnel level it might be necessary to drift south by about 75 to 100 feet. It will require a survey and an expert geologist to determine just at what pojpt in the tunnel this drift should be made. To that end the company is moving at this time. On the west side of the mountain the company has one mam-mothighly ironized bed 150 feet thick on which has been found in a number of places high grade lead and silver. Under this large bed by about 100 feet is a black quartz vein in which is found in small seams pure galena. No development work has been done on this vein, and only a very little on the large ferruginous lime bed. 30-pou- New Atomic Mining Era (Continued From Page 1) the wealth of Utah has come out of the Oquirrh Range. It cradled the Tintic mining camp, one of the largest of the producers in the Range. Tintic is most important. Below Tintic there are other camps in the southern end of the Range, like Milford, Frisco, and New- house. It has recently been reported that a uranium discovery has been made in the Binykam Canyon area and that shipments of uranium ore have been made. This is but another indication that uranium may be found almost anywhere in Utah, and that possibilities for uranium production are good there as elsewhere. It has now been demonstrated that the commercial production of uranium is not confined to a small area, but particularly rather it can be found almos anywhere. This portends great possibilities forthe future of the Oquirrh Range. Utah is watching expectantly the result of the recent location of claims at Vernon in Tooele County and also 10 miles south, at Delta, southwest of Mercur. These discoveries are confirming the belief that uranium, will be found all over the Oquirrh. ' about three feet thick. The ore is of the cerussite and galena type, part of which runs from 45 to 65 lead, 8 ounces silver. There is no zinc in this vein and the ore makes in the quartzite. About five tons of this quality of ore was taken from the incline. At a point about 25 feet down the incline a six foot sump was sunk on the east side of the winz at the bottom of which zinc aswas encountered. saying 22V Just two feet under the quartzite bed a vein of ore assaying at the surface and for eight feet deep RAY DRILLING COMPANY, INC.
