Foote Mineral Company is working on a cooperative project with the Bureau of Mines to ob tain the element beryllium as a by-product of its l.Uiium extract ing operations. As yet, Foote Manager Jim Castle reports, the result is "nothing". Mr. Castle was commenting at the Herald's request on an Asso ciated Press dispatch out of Warbtnoton, D. C., of May 2, in which it wa*> stated that the Geo logical Survey has found that beryl reserves in the "tin-spodu mene" belt of North Carolina to tal 823,000 tons, treble the pre viously estimated amount. . The Associated Press report continued: "The survey's report was made available to a reporter today In connection with a Bureau . of Mines announcement that domes tic consumption of beryl Is less than a third of the total supply that becamo available during 1953. "Beryl is thte sole commercial souroe mineral of the. strategic metal beryllium. "Beryllium is used in nuclear energy work but its main use is with copper to make hard, strong *9' > | alloys which withstand fatigue and wear and at the same time ! conduct electricity at high tem peratures. The metal is also al loyed with nickel, aluminum, mangeneslutn and iron. "Beryllium oxide is used In the production of high quality refrac tories and electrical insulators. "The Bureau of Mines said this country imports abbut 90 per dent of its "beryl. Domestic mine ship ments In 1953 were about 750 Ions I while imports exceeded 8,200 tons, . "Future beryl supply prospects appear favorable," the bureau said. "Estimated reserves in Bra^ zil, the largest beryl ? producing country, have been increased re cently, and geological survey.... estimates beryl reserves of the tin-spodumfene belt in North Car olina at 823,000 tons, nearly three times the amount formerly esti mated." "The geological survey describ ed the tin-spodumene area of North Carolina as a narrow, 25. mile belt of crystalline rocks ex tending from Gaffney, S. C., to | a point a few miles east of Lin colnton, N. C. J "The report said the beryl esti j mated to be in the belt "would j I satisfy domestic beryllium re- : quirtements for many years if a satisfactory method is devised by [which the beryl can be profitably j extracted from the rock." , ! "The extraction will obviously require grinding the rock, and the values xof the various minerals in a turn of average spodumtene ore ......indicates that most of the cost of a milling operation will have to be repaid by sale of spo dumene and feldspar. Beryl, mi ca, and heavy minerals will be byproducts'" Scout Leaders Meet In Shelby Tuesday SHELBY, May 12 ?

All of Foote Mineral Company's four j percent Convertible Subordinate Sinking Fund Debentures have i been converted into common ! stock, according to J. S. Gates,; treasurer. Foote first advertised its notice of redemption on April 5, indicat- 1 ing that the bonds would be call- j ed on the redemption date, May I 5, 1954. For sometime, the price of Foote common stock has been I wtell above the current conversion ! rate of one share of common, for each $45.84 principal amount of : debentures. Therefore, debenture j holders converted their bonds j prior to the termination of the conversion privilege on the re demption date. The Company's entire outstand ing debt is now $1,800,000 under a term loan and revoking credit agreement. Approximately 318, B75 shares of common stock are outstanding after conversion of the debtentures. Baptismal Services Held In Grover; Mask Pupils To Give Annual Recital . ... 1 t GROVER ? The Rev. W.
