It was, he said, one of the lowest cost operations, in Canada and it was a national asset. Well make every effort to keep it going, he said. In the current contract battle going on between the stronger uranium producers at Beaverlodge and at Elliott Lake, informed sources in the industry consider both areas to be competitive with each other, considering production costs and ore grades at each. Last month the Saskatchewan Chamber of Mines dispatched a telegram to Trade Minister Churchill supporting Beaverlodge organizations in their bid to Ottawa to have the area share in the right to purchase unfilled uranium contracts on the same basis as other Canadian uranium pioducing regions. This was in direct response to the pressure being exerted by the industry in eastern Canada to have the federal government withhold from Eldorado the right given other producers to purchase contracts.

paper that Eldorado is still actively in the field of bidding on contracts. There has been no change whatsoever, he said. We have held discussions With other firms on terms and possible arrangements for taking over contracts." Mi. Gilchrist was reluctant to pinpoint ihe mines from which Eldorado sought to take over the contracts. Only one other mine in northwest Saskatchewan, the Lorado mine, holds a contract but there are a number in Ontario and one in the Northwest Territories besides the Great Bear Lake Eldorado mine.

Mr. Giichrist said the Eldorado mine at Great Bear Lake would be kept operating until the latter part of the coming year. It had a very limited life because its ore body was running out and would be finished within a year. At that time it would be closed, he said. There is only one other Eldorado mine in Canada, the Beaverlodge operation in Saskatchewan.

When thk Great Bear Lake shaft closes, tlm Beaverlodge workings will be the, only Eldorado mine in the country. Mr. Gilchrist looked on this motorists who are accustomed to driving at a slightly higher speed through urban centres. "Nine times out of 10 the zones are not marked well enough and, for that matter, the areas are not used enough during the day by children to warrant a restricted speed zone, Inspector Wood said. What he would like to see is a uniform speed limit throughout the city, coupled with an anti-jaywalking bylaw that would force pedestrians to cross only at intersections where drivers are obliged by law to stop when the crossings are occupied.

Then, he said, the police could concentrate their efforts to educate motorist and pedestrian alike at regular crosswalks. Inspector Wood said that many pedestrians strain the tempers of drivers by crossing streets haphazardly between intei sections, so that motorists often lose their patience when they arrive at crosswalks. That, of course, is an excuse that wont stand up in court if a careless driver is ticketed for failing to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian. But it is a fact that contributes to slap-happy driving, commented the inspector. At the same time he would like to see student school patrols at busy school crosswalks, but that is a possibility now in the hands of the Board of Police Commissioners who are faced with the problem of arriving at a sound decision for future traffic control at school crosswalks.

The school patrol question is prominent in Saskatoon now. Few recognized organizations want to see student patrols implemented, but almost everyone wants some type of improved traffic control at schools where the volume of traffic is heavy. Mayor Buckwold would also like to see school patrols established and operated by students. But he doesnt think the citys school zone speed limit should be lifted, at least at this time. "It should be enforced as much as possible, said Mayor Buckwold and he agreed that the 2ft-miles-per-hour zones throughout the city would act as a deterrent to speeders.

But despite the complications that have surrounded school traffic safety here, persons for and against student operated school patrols and other traffic measures are puzzled over one point: there hasnt been an accident at a school crossing involving children on their way to or from school for at least 13 years. Said one interested father, The kids are too agile. But Traffic Inspector Wood still thinks the school traffic situation here is dangerous.

120 20th Street, East 'Phone CII.4-8166 For Free Delivery By BOB MOON I 'OTTAWA Saskatchewans big Eldorado uranium mine is now actively bidding for the contracts of other Canadian uranium mines which might shut down, because of the curtailed international uranium market. Every effort will be made to keep the Eldorado operations at Beaverlodge in the far northwest corner of the province going through the uranium slump period of the 1960s. Within a year, the Eldorado mine at Beaverlodge will be the only Eldorado mining operation in Canada. The only other federal government-owned Eldorado mine, on the shore of Great Bear Lake in the Northwest Territories, will be closed down in late 1960. These facts were revealed Mon day by William Gilchrist, president of the Eldorado Mining and Refining Corporation, in an exclusive interview with the Star-Phoenix.

They help answer representations of concern from organizations in northwest Saskatchewan and from the Saskatchewan Chamber of Mins. Barring a policy change not yet made, they lay at rest speculative reports the federal cabinet had taken Eldorado out of competition for contracts. It was also learned that large Gunnar uranium mine in far northwest Saskatchewan is also bidding for the unused portion of contracts held by other uranium mining firms. These contracts Involve the sale of uranium to Eldorado itself, which is also a marketing agency and sells to the United States Atomic Energy Commission. The U.

S. commission has not taken up its option to buy more uranium from Canada after 1962. Although the delivery time for present contracts has been extended, this refusal has caused a crisis in the Canadian uranium industry of which Saskatchewan is a major participant. Saskatchewan has two strong mines, the federal governments Eldorado operation and the Gunnar mine, which has been largely an open pit producer but is now going underground. By buying up the contracts of other firms, the larger operations in Ontario and in Saskatchewan seek to strengthen themselves for the lean 1960s until the international demand Improves.

Some protests have been lodg ed in Ottawa, chiefly from Ont arios Elliott Lake uranium belt, against Eldorado participating in the bidding for these contracts. To bar Eldorado from this competition would leave the Saskat chewan mjne with less outlet for its potential production, assuming it would otherwise have been bidding for contracts. 1 vbUU CO.VTIM.ED FROM PACE THREE JAIL money and did not return to repay It as promised.
