                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 4, 2001

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
acknowledge the contributions that Stewart R. Wallace has made to the 
mining industry in Colorado. He has made significant strides in the 
field of exploratory geology. Mr. Wallace's years of work have led to 
substantial advances in the field of geology.
  Stewart Wallace, born in 1919, has spent the majority of his life 
developing the molybdenum mining industry through extensive geological 
studies. In 1955, Stewart began working for Climax Molybdenum in 
Climax, Colorado. His studies have contributed to a better 
understanding of the geology of molybdenum ore bodies and aided in 
developing models that help predict the location of the ore bodies. His 
most significant discoveries included the Henderson Mine and the 
Ceresco Ore body at Red Mountain and Climax, respectively. These 
discoveries provided a significant boost to the Colorado mining 
industry. Additionally, Stewart's work with molybdenum have also led to 
significant advances in producing stronger steel alloys.
  Mr. Speaker, Stewart Wallace was recently recognized for his 
achievements at the 2001 National Mining Hall of Fame induction 
ceremony. I too would like to recognize Mr. Wallace and thank him for 
the contributions that he has made to the Colorado Mining industry.
