...plant for Emerson Electric in Paragould at no immediate cost to the company. (The company pays off the cost of the building over 20 years at 5% interest.) They floated bonds, sold $50 membership certificates, got loans on pledges of future contributions. When Duracraft Boat Corp. of Monticello could not expand because there was no water nearby on which to test and demonstrate its boats, Monticello residents dammed up a stream and created a 20-acre lake. The company expanded-to the tune...
...plant at Monticello, Utah and eleven privately owned plants representing an investment of $50 million did the refining job. Top producer: Anaconda Co.'s mill at Bluewater, N. Mex., which handles 3,000 tons of ore daily. Eight more mills costing $35 million and capable of processing 4,000 tons daily are scheduled to be built in 1957 and early 1958. There will be plenty of ore for all. The AEC announced that the U.S. now has proven uranium reserves of 60 million tons, 60 times more than known reserves in 1948. Biggest cache: New Mexico...
...three county commissions heeded a growing public uproar, in effect kicked Dr. Coggins out of her job.

At Thomas Jefferson's grave at Monticello, Moslem Sukarno lifted his hands, murmured a prayer (he explained later) "that God give him the best place in Heaven." Acting every bit the vote getter he is, he flew, north to cry, "New York, here I come!", on his arrival at La Guardia Airport. Soon caught up in a big civic welcome, he was caressed with rain and ticker tape as he was paraded up Broadway; at a Waldorf...
Back in 1946, young Joe Cooper and his" father-in-law, Fletcher Bronson, of Monticello, Utah, paid $1,000 for 500 acres of copper-mining property in southwestern Utah. They soon regretted the investment: the copper ore was so heavily contaminated with uranium that nobody wanted to process it. Then the atomic age got into swing, and Cooper and the Bronson family forgot all about copper. Their Happy Jack mine never had a waste dump, because every pound of rock dug up was commercial-grade ore. Last week Cooper, now 45, and the Bronsons decided that the mine...
