MINES AND MINING.

In the Gray Eagle mine, Bradshaw
mountains, near Prescott, Ariz., a strike
of ore 300 feet below the surface and 700
feet inl ength as been made. 1t runs in
value from $75 to $500 to the ton.
The Anaconda mines, Montana, have
been having considerable trouble lately
wpith strikers. First it was the engi-
neers and switchmen Of the compressed
air line at the Washoe smelter; now 1T is
the carpenters in the same works. The
latter demand shorter hours.
1t is the intention of the Copper Hill
Mining Company, whose mnies are about
four miles from Oracle, Ariz., to con-
struct a traction engine road to the near
est railroad station, distant about twen-
ty-four miles, and to install at the mines
a teaching plant of 100 tons capacity a
day.
This summer has witnessed a decided
increase in the interest taken by miners
in the development of quartz veins in the
southern part of Oregon. Considerable
capital is going into the business of late
in the Mount Reuben district, the Sol

district. Rich returns are exected.

A newly discovered metai, radium, is
described as having most wonderful ra-
diant energy. 1t is ~self-luminous, and a
small crystal is said to emit powerful
beams of light rivaling those of an cleo
trio arc-lamp. A peculiar property is that
while thus diffusing energy, in the form
Of light and heat, the substance seems to
undergo no diminution But radium is
fabulously costly. and as yet only a
fraction of an ounce has been produced
at the rate of $500, 600 an ounce. 1t is OBJ
tanned from uranium, which is itself a
product of the stone known as pitch
blende.
Radium is now an object of so much
interest to the scientific world that the
Cosmopolitan has offered a prize of $500
for the best article descriptive of the
new metal and it's properties.
Inasmuch as radium is so exceedingly
costly. it is likely to remain a great
rarity for a long time to come. Electric

IN the great California deserts, with
