dicated Saturday when two
new leases were filed with
County Clerk, Louis Lee.
The new leases cover two
tracts, totaling 94 acres ad-
jacent to the W. J. Mudge 32-
acre tract where prospecting
has been under way for the
past month. William H .
Huett of Dallas, in associa-
: tion with Mrs. Sue Wallace
■ and Mrs. J. Anderson also of
Dallas, filed leases on the two
tracts.
To Start Drilling Soon
Huett told County Clerk
Louis Lee he planned to core
drill on the property as soon
as possible. The leases cover
50 acres on the J. B. Brown
and Jeff Haggarty survey
and 44 acres on the Jeff Hag-
garty survey, both plots lying
in the Marystown area.
Archie Whitley of Temple,
owns the 50-acre tract and
W. R. Owens, owns the 44-
acre plot. Both leases call for
rights on radium, uranium
and thorium. It was learnel
definitely today that all min-
eral leases which cover urani-
um and other specific units,
such as radium, thorium and
other fissionable materials,
must be so specified in any
lease.
With the new leasing acti-
vity, Walace Cook of San
Antonio, who with John Mc-
Garr has directed excavating
work to a depth of 150 feet
on the Mudge tract, said Sat-

Dear Son:
We learn with sorrow of
the death of one of our life-
long friends, Mr. Walter L.
Henderson passed away in
his 84th year at his home in
Venus. Interment was in Al-
varado cemetery after ser-
vices in Venus Methodist
Church, Wednesday. I have
known the Henderson family
all of my life and can witness
as to their being the salt of
the earth. Mr. Henderson
was one of my first patrons
and lived at that time (1910)
on the Jim Nelson farm. He
was a good citizen, a devoted
father and fine Christian
gentleman. I offer my sincere
sympathy to his survivors.
Q
It just doesn’t seem right
for Miss Leonora Ingle to be
absent from her p’ace at Wil-
son’s. Miss Leonora has re-
tired as secretary and book-
keeper after 37 years of ser-
vice. First for the O’Hara-
Harrell Co., and later for
Wilson’s. At present, she,
Mrs. D. D. Pitts, Misses Kath-
leen and Irene Elmore and
Mrs. Ava Davis are attending
the Bloy’s Camp Meeting at
Fort Davis. This old fashion-
ed camp meeting is conducted
by Methodist, Baptist, Pres-
byterian, Christian churches.
Mrs. R. L. Irving of Ft. Davis
is a cousin of Miss Leonora
and Mrs. Davis.
