Show October 7. 195S Blue Lizard Ships Several Exploration Firms Note 1700 Tons In Sept. The Blue Lizard mine in White Canyon shipped a total of 1700 tons of ore during September. Ore assayed from .41 to .44 per cent, it was announced by Spokesmen of Lucky Strike Uranium Corp., owners of the Blue Lizard mine.; Three months ago the shipping record was. 800 tons a month. Each succeeding month has shown a substantial increase. A new face of ore has recently been opened up, the second in a week, which the geologist is now Arizona Sierra Ancha Growth exploring. Warren Anderson, geologist, member of the Geoprofessional Group of Salt Lake City, said the ore runs 1 to 2 per cent.

Richard Brown, of Salt Lake 9 City, president of Gila Uranium Corp., announced that a public offering of 10,000,000 shares of stock at Gila, at one cent a share, is contemplated shortly. The company has 62 claims adjoining Larsen No. 3 Red Bluff claims of UCOA, in the Sierra Ancha mining district of Arizona. Brown said Highway 88 goes right through the property. Some years ago the government sank an artesian well on the property and excellent water is available in abundance on the claims. The original owner, Larsen, was state authorized lion hunter. He trapped lions for the state, and eventually was officially, designated as Lion Catcher.

Maurice Tripp, president, Tripp Research Corp., at the 1955 American Mining Congress, Las Vegas, Nev. Tripp said that it must be concluded that large amounts of deeply buried host rocks have just as good a chance to be reservoirs for uranium minerals as the presently known Colorado Plateaus ore bodies. Although the bonanza era of the surface prospector with a Geiger counter is not completely over, he declared, there is an increasing tendency to focus exploration thinking on how to find those deep ore bodies which must be present, but are beyond the detection of radiation instruments. He will describe the geochemical sources of uranium as well as the favorable host rocks and the chemical- - and physical traps which constitute the ore bodies. Favorable conditions for the existence of such ore bodies are possible hundreds or thousands of feet below the surface, he said. when you go Uranium Prospecting J. W. REYCOMPANY offers the latest in instruments irom $24.95 to $2000.00. Be up-to-d- NOLDS The least expensive counter gives an audible signal when it comes in contact with Uranium. The better counters have a meter to indicate the presence of uranium as well as its radiometric value. The specialized instruments allow you to probe holes up to 1000 ft. Reels with odometers are also available, making the chore of probing less tiresome and also giving you a footage indication.
