Alvin Gabrielsen, architect of the new home of the Area Vocational Center, stated that well before winter of this year the exterior work on the building will be complete and the interior work can go forward without interruption regardless of the weather.

U. S. Steel Corporation has submitted a preliminary mining plan as part of their application to lease phosphate on 7,650 acres of land seven miles east of the Stauffer Chemical Mine and 12 miles northeast of Vernal The District is now conducting an environmental analysis of the impacts associated with the proposed lease. Preliminary mining plans call for an underground mine and surface mill adjacent to Little Brush Creek that would employ approximately 250 persons in the initial phase of the two phase project and 350 persons in the ultimate development phase. Phase I of the development would open the mill and mine and bring production to a level of about 300,000 tons of product per year. Phase II would increase the capacity of 600,000 tons per year if economic and technical conditions can justify expansion. Commencement of the project would depend on receiving a phosphate lease from BLM and marketing and technical feasibility studies. Phosphate reserves on the lease are expected to last in excess of 40 years if normal underground mining recovery is achieved. Phase II of the operation would require water at a rate of from 1,200 to 1,400 gallons per minute. Disposal of mill tailings would be done by filling mined out portions of the mine and dry washer near the mill The title to the surface on approximately 2,500 acres are held by eight individuals with the phosphate held in federal ownership. The remaining 5,160 acres are national resource lands. played and Friday. They lost both games, the last one by only one point but displayed a great deal .of good sportsmanship throughout both games.
