Show WINFORD BUNCE 111 thirty, forty, fifty of them. JD: In the town? WB: Yeah. JD: For a town of eight hundred or nine hundred that would be quite large. WB: Yeah, but there was quite a lot of them that just worked at this mining and getting this high-grade uranium, and there was really nothing done during the war time. During the war time. During the war, many people really got into the vanadium business, and there really wasn't any big companies in here, even then. They hauled the vanadium to Ervan (?) and Grand Junction and so on. But everybody that had been in this pretty much fooling around all these years, they got int0. this vanadium then. And then after the war, it died again. And nothing really happened in uranium until '52. JD: Well, talking about back in the thirties, when we talked about the local people being involved in it, did the county or the state have roads or access roads that would permit them to drive any equipment in, or were they having to go up by walk-in type situation? WB: Oh, they got themselves in there. If there wasn't a road, they built it. Actually, most of it would either be small compressors, or it was a shovel operation. JD: It's a shallow dig? 26 |
