NEW URANIUM DISCOVERIES
Coastal Area South Of Westport
(From Our Own Reporter) WESTPORT, May 2. New discoveries of uraniumbearing rock have been made in the Brighton area, about 30 miles south of Westport, some not far from the mouth of the Fox river. In the Westport Warden’s Court four applications have been lodged for mineral prospecting warrants to work over areas each of 1000 acres.
The first was lodged on April 26 by Lloyd D. McAlister, an accountant, of Westport, and James Benedict Dowd; a farmer, of Cape Line, Westport, covering an area in the vicinity of Brighton. To cover a similar area of 1000 i acres in the vicinity, Laurence P. McEnaney, a clerk, of Christ-1 church, and Bernard J. McEnaneyJ a publican, of Westport, lodged anl application on April 29 for a war-; rant.
The next day similar applies-f tions were made by James W. Fair, company manager, of Westport, and McAlister and Dowd to I cover 1000 acres in the Bullock? creek section. The finds off uranium-bearing rock have been extensive, but there are hopes that there is a vein running through from close to the edge.
