Jim Thorpe Borough Council received assurances from the Union Pacific Railroad Company that, even if it should decide at some future date to mine uranium in Mt. Pisgah, it will not be done by open pit or stripping methods. Councilman Nat Lucas raised the question two months ago and pursued it further at the June meeting, in the absence of a reply from the Union Pacific firm. Lucas received a letter from C. E. Melbye, chief geologist, mining, and two other representatives of Union Pacific.
