URANIUM GHOST TOWN - Optimists Watch Town Drained White By Despair URANIUM CITY, Sask. (CP) There are few pessimists left in this northern Saskatchewan|Booth mining town. Most of them departed on a wave of despair as markets for uranium began to diminish. The optimists remain, cling- ing to the hope that interna- tional demand will revive be- fore -- City becomes a own. Eldorado Mining and Refining Limited, one of Canada's two uranium producers, is virtually the only reason for the town existing. Its contracts to supply ore for the United Kingdom expire in 30 months. The future beyond 1966 is dim. The present population of 1,500 compares with 2,500 ony four years ago and is far from the 8,000 that overflowed the town during its heyday in the mid-1950s. Evidence of the decline is seen in the business sector where 21 of the 60 businesses are boardeq shut. Many are posted as the property of the Municipality of Uranium City. "Since we started clamping down for non-payment of taxes into Uranium' City, the effects were neg igible, says Mr. A handicap is that Uranium City is accessible only by air. Residents would like to have a road connecting it with Prince Albert, 450 miles south, but the cost of construction through rush, muskeg, rock and around lakes. and rivers makes it impractical now. In any case, the future of uranium itself is the real key to Uranium City's ife-and-death struggle, a fact that was dem- onstrated by the impact of a brief news report in May indi- cating that uranium stockpiling would cease this year. Although Eldorado is produc- ing to meet current markets and wasn't directly affected by the report, the night of the an- nouncement and for days after- ward, the beer parlor and cock- tail lounge sales were at their lowest in six months. "When they hear news like that the stark reality hits them all of a sudden that they may be without jobs,' Mr. Jepper- son says. The attitude of remaining businessmen and most residents is perhaps best summed up: by Ben McIntyre, editor of the weekly Uranium City North News. "We have a lot invested here and we'l stay as long as we can. We have three years left but if things don't change we'll have to go to." OBITU ARIES JOHN SANDFORD DUGAN The death of John Sandford) Dugan occurred in Oshawa General Hospital, Sunday, July 5, following a short illness. His last residence was 175 Centre street. He was !n his 64th year.) last year, we have taken posses- sion of about 90 buildings," says Mayor Jack Woodward. PROPERTY PLUMMETS In the last three years only three new businesses have been opened, Property values have plunged and real estate is next to worthless. Malcotm Booth, manager of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, says houses 10 years old, full of furiture, can be bought for $2,000. But there are no buyers. A cab driver, one of the opti- mists, says he has his eye on a four-room house he plans to buy for $400 The bank has restricted per- sonal loans, "We're just not in- terested in any long-term loans any more," says Mr. Booth. Another of the optimists is Norm Jepperson, part owner and manager of the Uranium City Hotel. "With a bit of luck, someone will come up with something to save the town," he says wist- fully. He's hoping that luck wil in- clude his claims a few miles away where assay reports show signs of copper. But others emphasize that the signs are only on the ee Roomy oni indication what's below 4 the mountain of red-tinted rock. Uranium City once boasted two hotels. The Uranium City Hotel won the struggle for sur-| , vival and its competitor now is a white monument to the days when hotel rooms couldn't be obtained for any money. SERIES OF CYCLES A. R. Allen, manager of El- dorado operations here, allows himse f the luxury of some re- strained optimism, too. The history of Uranium City, he says, has been a series of three-year cycles and he opes Eldorado can either stretch its commitments to 1970 or find new markets to tide the mine-- and the town--over the lean three-year period after 1967. The optimists view 1970 as the magical year when the industry will revive and Uranium City along with it. But Mr. Allen says that if the mine-is forced to close, Ura- nium City 'will soon become a ghost town" because almost all the men in the community work at the mine. The pessimists could point to Gold Fields, a nearby town that was deserted in 1939 when costs of mining the ow-grade gold) made production uneconomical. But Glen. Sherman, a depart- ment of northern affairs radio operator and president of the Uranium City Kiwanis Club, says that's unlikely to happen here. The government agencies and some schools would prob- ably remain to keep a feeble pulse beating. TOURIST POTENTIAL ' Mr. Jepperson sees some jus-| tification for Uranium -- City's existence in its role as a north-| ern distribution point for tiny) outposts in the Northwest Terri- tories. He also regards it as a) potential attraction to tourists.' Tourism has been touted as a secondary industry but since} 1958 only three fishing lodges) have been opened.
