In the FPC order authorizing the enlarged gas plan, the commission said, a supplementary supply of gas for a market primarily served with gas coming from the opposite end of the integrated system, as proposed by Pacific, has many advantages. "The Canadian gas, for the first few years at least, will be largely used for industrial purposes, thus permitting interruption to render firm service to domestic and commercial customers, the commission said. 650-mil- Sterling Ships High Grade Uranium, Vanadium from Navajo Lands has Sterling is the standard nominal percentage established by the from vanadium uranium and Navajo Indian Nation. ing ValMonument near properties In other phases of developley, Ariz. on the Navajo reserva- ment the Sterling report notes tion acording to recent progress that $20,000 has been spent for bulletin released by the Board heavy equipment for the new of Directors. including a new bullOre was extracted from prop- discovery, water tank truck, ore dozer, erties 40 miles from Sterlings trucks and miscellaneous drilloperating mine in Monument ing tools.

Shipments in October averaged two per cent uranium and 1.1 per cent vanadium, which, with bonus grosses $36 per ton, according to the report. The only royalty now paid by Governor Arthur B. Langlie of Washington, in a telegram to Premier W. A. C. Bennett of British Columbia and Ernest Manning of Alberta, said: "I am sure you will join me in agreement that the adding of Canadian-naturagas to supplies for the Canadian and U. S. Pacific Northwest is one of the most important advances of our generation for the economic development of our mutual area. l GAS SUPPLY The Federal Power Commissions approval of Pacific Northwest Pipelines purchase of Canadian natural gas will give the Pacific Northwest area a two way supply when pipelines are completed. Canadian gas will come from the Peace River region in northern British Columbia and Alberta; Pacific's primary supply is the San Juan Basin in New Mexico. The Canadian pipeline will be finished in late 1956 or early 1957. San Juan gas will be delivered next summer.

Intermountain Stamp Works Snow Closes UCOA. Uranium Corporation of America recently shipped 12 tons of .50 per cent ore from its Gas Hills property to the receiving depot at Riverton, Wyo., according to John H. White, Jr., UCOA president. White said several truck loads of additional ore had been mined when heavy snow storms compelled a closing down of operations for the rest of the winter. White does not look for a production program to get under way until next spring.

One more man died of accident injuries suffered a month earlier to bring the total count to nine more names added to the death list. Six of the nine were killed in two triple fatalities, both of which occurred Saturday. It was the first time in Utah history that two triple death crashes have occurred in a single day. Time is running out on 1955, but people are running out faster. Instead of saving any of the 55 persons predicted to die by the end of the year, more names may have to be added.
