Coastline protection plan gains House approval

The House approved the coastal management bill by 373 to 8, allocating two thirds of program costs to states through three grants. The measure, costing about 172 million dollars through 1975, would also fund up to 50 percent of estuarine sanctuary programs, moving operations from Commerce to Interior Department.

Powerful geyser erupts near Beowawe Nevada

A massive geyser in the Beowawe hot springs area roared like a jet engine reaching 80 to 100 feet from a sealed 12 inch pipe. A second smaller vent blew its cap last month, with four or five other vents active nearby. A road two feet deep was buried by sand and gravel. Nevada Highway Department notes potential roadside rest area along Interstate 6 between Battle Mountain and Carlin. The witness described a deafening roar and the ground shaking as pressure rose beneath him. Ten to fifteen years ago about 50 columns rose up to 25 feet before wells were sealed, prompting talks of creating a state park.
