Jensen Bridge Burned By Brush Fire
A brush fire burned about 10 feet of the Jens en White River bridge on the south approach near Bonanza last week before Bonanza Fire Dept. contained it. Kenneth Stringham spotted the blaze while en route to shear his sheep, crossing at Rangely to reach his flock. Nearby residents and visitors are noted, with various local activities listed, including talks, visits, and community events. Fugitives from Communist China are reportedly opening tungsten mines in Arizona, building their own mining gear and planning to seek U.S. patents for specialized desert machines.
