PAGE 8C THE IDAHO STATESMAN, Boise, Wednesday, April 2, 1980 Tank explodes in Montana, kills 2 workers LAUREL, Mont. (UPI) An explosion ripped an asphalt storage tank killing two TuesdaSh, workmen atop the structure, a Cenex official said. two were employees of a Billinese roofing company installing insulation on the roof of the tank, Cenex Plant Manager Louis Day said. "The tank exploded and blew the roof off, killing them," Day said. The bodies were recovered "several hundred feet from the tank," he said.

The pair, employees of E.J. Bartells Co. of Billings, were not identified. The tank burned for 20 minutes after the explosion, Day said. The flames did not spread to other storage tanks at the refinery, he said, and were extinguished by plant firefighters.

The cause of the explosion was not known, he The workmen were in the initial stages of installing fiberglass insulation and were attaching holders to the tank roof. Day said it was not known if the pair may have been drilling through the metal tank when it blew up. The victims were the only ones at the site at the time, he said. No others were injured. Yellowstone County Undersheriff Mike Schafer said a helicopter ambulance had been dispatched to the refinery from Billings, 16 miles from Laurel.

The explosion occurred shortly after 2 p.m. Diamond search covers 2,900 acres across Wyoming Associated Press Cominco American is exploring for diamonds in Wyoming, but a company official said it could be two or three years before the commercial value of its operation is known. Spokane-based subsidiary of Cominco Ltd. of Vancouver, British Columbia, is looking for diamonds on about 2,900 acres of south central Wyoming. Should tests determine mining there might be economically feasible, Cominco's diamond project could become the first of its kind in the United States since diamonds were commercially produced in Arkansas between 1906 and 1919.

The United States currently imports most of its diamonds from South Africa, Venezuela and Brazil. Cominco is leasing the property from the state of Wyoming and Rocky Mountain Energy a Union Pacific Railroad subsidiary. The land is located south of Laramie near the Wyoming-Colorado border. Tiny diamonds were first discovered in the area by a Colorado State University geology professor in June 1975. Cominco has confirmed small amounts of diamonds are present in the area, said Jack Webb, vice president of exploration.

"We've done some initial testing this summer this is a long process that requires a number of stages. It's far too early to say about the potential. It takes a great deal more sampling before we know anything about the potential," Webb said in a telephone interview from Spokane. Dedication slated for solar generator NATURAL BRIDGES NATIONAL MONUMENT, Utah (UPI) Dedication of the largest direct solar power electrical generating system in the world, at Natural Bridges National Monument, is scheduled for June 7. The National Park Service, in conjunction with the Energy Department and the Lincoln Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, are installing the $2.7 million solar photovoltaic system at the southeastern Utah park.

The photovoltaic system, unlike more conventional solar heating units, converts sunlight directly into electricity. Most commercial solar power units transform the sun's energy into heat, for heating rooms or water, to supplement electrical power use.
