With the money Fred was able to haul 53 tons of ore down the mountain and freight it to the processing plant at Salt Lake City. After three anxious weeks, Fred heard from the AEC. In the envelope were two $6,000 checks and a top-grade assay. Fred's mine was a vein deposit of high-grade uranium ore (only one other major vein deposit-in Marysvale, Utah-is producing...
