GARNER POOLE'S MINERAL TITLE
IN BURNETT MAY PAY OFF
FROM URNAIUM TESTS
~~~~~
Garner Poole was advised recently that he may be in the uranium producing
business if the Geiger counter ticking is as true as it seems on 100 acres of
Burnet county rocky pasture land, 10 miles west of Burnet.
Mr. Poole said he owns one-half the mineral
rights on a 100-acre
place. Recent tests for uranium have revealed that the material was in evidence
on the premises and laboratory tests in Colorado resulted in attracting the
interest of Atomic Energy Commission agents. They are due to make a
checkup on the property very soon (t)or (w)hen Mr. Poole will be notified.
