Show Southeastern Utah Declared "Hot" Speaking in the uranium prospector's pro-spector's language, southeastern Utah is "hot." All of which means that the government wants the uranium ore, ami -jtheastern Utah has not only Jkluced a lot of high and low s?rade uranium ore but has more. Just where it is, remains to be found and hundreds of uranium prospectors are now in the field searching canyons, deserts, bluffs and out of the way places for the precious mineral that goes to make the famous "A Bomb." At Denver. Sumner T. Pike, speaking before the Colorado Mining Association, declared that the Atomic Energy Commission Com-mission was hoping for a big strike in Utah or Colorado: that it. would not only be "immensely important to the nation, but tremendously tre-mendously profitable for the owners." "What we need," he continued, "is a uranium discovery dis-covery comparable to the c;u).er deposit at Bingham Canyon, rh-"' yjnking cognizance of the sit- uation, "an eastern engineering corporation has already sent two engineers to Moab where they will make their headquarters while prospecting the region with special equipment. Instead of using the time honored burro, these modern prospectors have a plane equipped with a ray detector de-tector similar to a Gieger counter. The ray detector tube is suspended from the bottom of the plane and detects the presence of bodies of ore r!s far away as a thousand feet. Engineers En-gineers spoilt lour e.-irs in perfecting per-fecting the apparatus. |
