Show A Warning Issued To Prospectors A matter of vital importance import-ance to prospectors, especially especial-ly uranium hunters, has been brought to the attention of the editor of this newspaper. It concerns rock mounds that can be found throughout the state, that were erected to identify section and quarter section corners. There is a definite law against moving or destroying these very important rock . mounds which were erected way back in 1883-84 by engineers engi-neers who surveyed the state of Utah. In a lot of places people, probably u r a ni u m prospectors, have torn down the mounds to make some of their own designating their uranium claim. . . No doubt those guilty are also unaware of the real value of these common Pioneer corner markers. mark-ers. . . Thus a word of warning warn-ing might help us all. The modern corner marker of sections sec-tions is now a pipe driven into the ground with a brass ' cap. |
