...Tiny Reed College in Portland, Ore. has long had to rely on its high academic prestige (liberal arts and sciences) to sugar-coat its cut-rate faculty salaries; e.g., Reed's full professors average only $7,500 v. the $10,293 average pay of their counterparts at the state-owned University of Oregon. But Reed's hard-put faculty members had some cheering news last week: an anonymous benefactor gave Reed an endowment fund worth some $400,000 that will be used solely to raise salaries. The new gift boosted Reed's take in the last...
Under the elaborate scheme worked out by Eaton and Krupp, ships would move into Hopes Advance Bay during the four-month ice-free season each summer, haul the pelletized ore to Rotterdam, where it will be transferred to barges and towed up the Rhine to German steel mills. By great circle routes. Hopes Advance Bay is almost as close to Rotterdam (2,570 miles) as it is to Philadelphia (2,245 miles...
...Krupp and Eaton put the final commas in their iron-ore agreement and Quebec's Premier Maurice Duplessis gives his expected O.K., they can begin construction on the mine and townsite at Hopes Advance Bay next year, start moving pellets to Germany three years later. By 1965 Ungava should be producing 10 million tons of ore a year...
Last week Ambrosia Lake got another big lift. Phillips Petroleum Co., which is sinking two mines there, contracted with the Atomic Energy Commission to build a $9,500,000 mill to process 1,725 tons of ore a day into uranium concentrate. Like many another oil producer, Phillips is hedging its bets against the day that uranium becomes a major source of the world's energy...
...spending $75 million to burrow, build, and explore in this area. Within a year, Ambrosia Lake will have 7,275 tons of uranium mill capacity a day-about half the U.S. total. But Ambrosia Lake's mining men are plowing up surrounding areas in search of more ore. Floyd Odium's Lisbon Uranium Corp. is prospecting around nearby San Mateo Dome, and Superior Oil Co. (California), has struck ore 30 miles west of the Dysart mine. When atomic power becomes a commercial reality, dusty Ambrosia Lake expects to have a permanent base for its newfound prosperity...
