About 100 miles west Of the La Sal
mountains In southeastern Utah Is the
Henry Mountain mining district, a well
mIneralzed, but undeveloped section.
In a contribution to the Mining Re-
vlCw recently Prof Marcus r. Jones
treated the naturalization and geology
of that section as follows.
There is no part of Utah which seems
TO the average man so far away as the
Henry mountains. The reason Is that
this section is off from all the routes of
travel both by rail and wagon. Until
within few years II was reached only
by trail. OF late years, however the de-
mands Of the stockmen for a short cut
into southeastern Utah have led to the
building of two roads One OF these
starts from Green River, on the Rio
Grande Western railroad, and passes
over a desert Of clay and sand for many
miles, where there is but little water,
and the watering places are far apart
This road goes to Huntsville, on the
Fremont river and follows around and
through the clay hills to the Henry
mountains, and 10 what is called Dandy
Crossing. on the Colorado river From
Dandy Crossing there is a fair wagon
road over TO Bluff City, where connec-
uOn * Inhut WIN ulileltht iuuNto W
Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado
This road Is considered the best In the
winter time, because there are no noun
tains 10 cross, and because the sand liz
more easily traversed and there Ia no
trouble from the heat
The other road Is better to the sum-
nit because II Is higher, Is never far
away from water. has better grass, and
passes more settlements. This route
can leave either at Price or Salina. II
Il starts from Price II follows along
settlements at the base of the coal
range 20 Ferron, and then runs diagon-
ally to Huntsville. The road leaving
salina has TO pass over the coal range,
then down into Grass valley and over a
branch Of the mountains adjoining Fish
lake down TO Loa. thence to Hanks
Vile.
The entire region adjoining the Hem
nv mountains Is a desert country, with
no trees, sage brush or grass to speak
of. Every 10 or Is miles along the
river are settlements of hardy people
who have redeemed the desert by wa
ter taken from the river During the
Utah Goal Age" this whole region was
alternately above and below the sea
from Loa to eastern Utah, and contains
large beds of coal and deposits OF oil,

thickness OF the beds. When these vol
canic cores had reached an elevation Of
about 10000 feet some OF the volcanic
matter forced its way along the bed
ding planes and lifted up the everything
rock In smaller secondary domes. At
a later time the action OF the rain and
melting snow wore off the crests OF
the dome and exposed the volcanic
cores. Now the black mountains OF
volcanic matter having around their
bases other smaller domes, stand out
in great contrast in the midst OF gray
and soft clays which form the desert
around them. These mountains reminds
one OF n hen and chickens.
a long time after the formation of
these mountains there was n scond dis
turbance, like, but smaller than the
first, which thrust up large dykes OF
volcanic matter through the original
eruptiye rock These dykes run In
series parallel to one another and In
secondary series crossing the first ones
al varying angles, They are generally
along the TANKS OF the higher peaks
From the nature Of the case, as the
volcanic matter Is limited, the dykes
soon pass out beneath the soft clays of
the desert. The veins OF quartz are
along these dykes,
For many years gold has been found
In abundance along the Colorado river
opposite these mountains at Dandy
Crossing, but It was supposed to have
come from the main river and its
branches, such as the Dolores, Gunni-
son and Grand rivers. II ls only re-
Gently that prospectors have found
gold I'm the streams leading down from
the Henry mountains. This led miners
to trace UP the gold until It was estab-
lished that 1t came from the eruptive
rock In the Henry mountains, After
n great deal OF prospecting, miners at
last located some veins on the south
eastern side Of Mt. Ellen at an eleva-
ton OF nearly 10000 feet above sea lev
ell. The principal vein discovered was
the Bromide. This is a quartz vein ly-
Ing nearly vertical and running south
east and northwest. II runs all the
way from a few inches to four feet In
width. The gold occurs In chute
which Is not far under ground and con-
taIns very nice values, though the high
grade ore is not so abundant as the
low grade. The property has been
opened up down 20 water level and
considerable ore has been milled or
shipped. A small stamp mill was
erected on this property about 10 years
ago and an attempt made TO mill the
ore and collect the gold on Its short
plates. This was necessarily a failure,
because most OF the ore is base. No
attempt was made 10 handle The tall

Since Mr. Craig located in Salt Lake,
two years and a half ago, he has exc
cuted an amount of work OF which he
may be justly proud, The city has
made great strides In the way OF build
ing since the beginning OF the century.
and II was a proof Of the coming era
at the time, that an architect Of his
ability should elect to come here. Mr.
Craig has left his mark In several places
In town The chief OF these are the two
large apartment buildings, the new
Emery Holmes mansions at the corner
Of First and State streets, which cost
500 600 to erect. Those who have visit.

being told that the latter cannot be

phide of zinc and the other radium
chloride, were connected by tube in
which had been fixed a stop-cock. AS
long as this latter remained closed no
effect was produced on the zinc sui
phide, but this substance at once be-
came luminous as soon as the stopcock
was opened The emanations, like the
substance from which they come, can
also discharge electrified bodies
That radium actually did give off
heat rays was demonstrated by strik-
ing experiment with what the profess
sor termed liquid air calorlmeter. A
vacuum flask was so arranged that the
quantity of afr boiling off in a given
time from some liquid air contained In

REVELATIONS OF SCIENCE.

certainty with which the latest revela-
lions OF science may be depended to
ne heard OF In the proceedings of the
Royal Institution, aud the account of
the wonders OF radlum Is certainly a
worthy addition to its record. Prof
Curle first explained that radium was
capable OF giving out heat rays sufii-
Client In quantity to permit OF measure
ment of rise in temperature by means
or a thermometer. Moreover il was
apparently capable of doing this with

bulk or weight. The emanations affect

substances much In the same way as
do the Roentgen rays, though IL is
noticeable that the effects produced by
the former are not nearly az sharp as
are those obtained with the latter.

such as sulphide OF zinc and platino-
cyanide of barlum--into proximity with
which II Is brought phosphorescent.
Moreover, II did not lose this extraor-
binary property when it's temperature
was lowered to that of liquid air and
