MINES AND MINING.

An item is going the rounds about the
value of vanadium, it being quoted at
| 81 800 an ounce. 1t is used in setting
dyes in silks and other fine goods.
There ia plenty of that mineral in Ari-
IONA; it is found in both Yavapai and
Yuma counties, but as matter of fact
vanadium is almost valueless CONNER
cially, only about two pounds year be-
ing consumed. The mineral, when
needed, can be used again and again,
losing but little in weight. 1t is the
cause of the beautiful coloring in the
crystals of lead found in Silver district,
which are called vanadinite.- Yuma
