revisions in mineral laws mad© by

itself struggling for survival in

Deer Hunter, Practicing
With Bow and Arrow,
Shoots Wife In Ear
CHICAGO, (jF)—Robert Baacke,
25, and his wife, Diana, 24, have
abandoned plans to hunt deer
with a bow and arrow.
They have been using guns to
hunt animals for the last five

learn to use a bow and arrow “to
give the animals a sporting
chance.”
They were practicing how to
shoot in their back yard Sunday
when Baacke aimed an arrow at
a target on a tree. The arrow
struck Mrs. Baacke’s right ear as
she stood five foet away from
the target. Six stitches were re
quired to close the wound.
“Gotta give my wife a sporting
chance, too,” Baacke said.

Among the major pieces of
mining legislation passed by the
83rd Congress (1953-54) was one
popularly known as the “uranium
bill,” (Public Law 250) designed
to promote multiple mineral de
velopment of public lands.
This bill was pushed by ura
nium miners who found them
selves blocked from filing claims
on public domain already covered
by oil and gas leases.
This measure, among other
things, operates to:
1. Establish a basis for multiple
use of the same lands under min
ing and mineral leasing laws, with
the provision that mining claims
can be located hereafter on lands
leased under the mineral act or
on withdrawn lands “known to
be valuable” for leasing act min
erals.
2. Establish procedures for set
tling disputes arising out of mul
tiple use, filing, notice and re
cordation.
3. Provide that mining claims
may be located for fissionable
source materials and that a full
patent may be issued for such
claims, thus removing uncertain
ties created by the Atomic Energy
Act of 1946.
