Radium Heats the Earth.

Professor Ernest Rutherford, a
young but already distinguished
pupil of Professor ]. ]. Thomas of
Cambridge, London, who is an au-
thority on radlum, threw out the
sugg estion in lecture in lecture
before the Royal Institute last
week, that the heat of the earth is
due to radium and not to internal
fires.
He said Lord Kelvin had calcu-
lated that, assn ming the earth to
have been originally molten mass,
it would take 100, 900, 900 years to
cool down to its present tempera-
ture. But" added the lecturer,
Lord Kelvin showed a prophetic
insight when he added, "provided
a new source of heat is not dlscov-
ered.'
Professor Rutherford thought
radium had been proved to be in
sufficient quantities in the earth to
supply a new theory as to the
source of the eartb's heat so that
we should not require the millions
of years which the geologists and
biologists had reasoned out as the
time taken in the cooling process
before life on the globe was pos,
sible.
The calculation leads to the con
clusion that the earth may have
been habitable for many millions O
years and that it further upsets al
accepted theories as to the dur
alton of life, since radium exhaust
itself only in $4,000, 900 years.

in their development have been well
expended. The principal properties
being worked at the present time
are the Maloncy Blue Lead, upon
which vast amount of exploration
has been done, many thousands Of
feet Of tunnels and crosscuts having
been driven upon it. AT q depth of
900 lect q good body Of high grade
ore has been struck, being the lower
level of a large vein exposed in sur
face workings.
F.; The Dakota Calumet property, ad-
joining the Maloncy Blue Lead on
| the south, is proposition which is
about to enter Oh the producing
state. The com .,any has a large
vein of high grade copper ore, be-
lieved to be 4 con tlnuation of the
Maloncy Blue Lead, which it has
opened up by surface workings, in
which arc exposed Thousands of tons
OF high grade ores, some of it re-
turning ass US as high rs, 30 per
cent metallic copper. The Central
hllls Copper company, on Rapid
creek, is another corporation which
is developing tine copper PROPOSE
tion. Several other small com
panles are operating on the copper
belt with varying success in their
development, and it is agreed among
mining men that this district, with
the proper development, will some
day become one Of the best and most
prolific sources OF supply for this
metal in the United States.
The mica mines of the Southern
Hills have fot a number Of years
beer, making profitable shipments
to eastern markets, and especially
is this true since the demand for
mica has become SO great in the
manufacture of electrical appliances.
The Grown Mica company and other
companies operating in the vicinity
OF Custer are making regular ship
ments, one firm engaged e in the man
ufacture Of electrical appliances
having contracted to take almost the
entire product of this section. The
mica mined is Of high grade, and
when Gu in suitable sizes commands
a higher price than does the highcs,
grades OF Canadian and imported
mica. Nothing is wasted, the small
fragments and even the dust is
boxed and shipped to the eastern
markets, where use is found fo1
them.

on the 5O0foot level, and develop
the other claims in the group, and
while doing so will endeavor to find
a process while will handle the ores
mined to a profit.
The Bengal Tiger. in the same To-
caIlty, is another property which
was ab; ndoned years ago after hay
ing produced hundreds of thousands
OF dollars, because the values in its
ores could not be saved by ;he free
milling process. This property will
also be worked again, having fallen
into the hands of parties who will
work its ores by modern methods.
The Bengal Tiger, in The early stages
of it's development, was undoubtedly
the richest mine ever worked in the
west, so rich in fact that every
bucket of rock raised to the surface
was slckcd. 1t was far richer than
the Holy Terror in its best days,
The Sunbeam, Florence and other
properties near by are also very
rich in specimen quartz, the lcdgcs
averaging about five feet in width
All of these properties, and many
others, are being worked and some
OF them are paying for their devcl-
opment, a notable instance being
the Florence, which has paid all of
the expenses OF sinking deep shaft
and running numerous crosscuts,
from the ore taken from the work
ings.
The Roosevelt mine of the Grantz
company is another instance OF a
rich, small vein which has not only
developed itself but from the ore
taken from it paid the expense of
developing a large acreage Of mining
ground.
A little more capital and we'll di-
rected development work are all
that are needed in the Southern
Hills to make that district the equa'
Of the high grade districts of Cali
fornia and Colorado. 1t is one of
the best timbered and watercd sec
tions of the Black Hills, and all of
the facilities for condIcting mining
operations cheaply and to the best
advantage are present.
The copper prospects Of the Pac-
| tola district have largely been the
means of calling attention to that
section of the Southern Hills, and
| from the work done and showings
made, the thousands of dollars spent

In the vicinity Of Custer many
good properties are being worked,
the mines near Four Mile proving
with development TO be permanent
and rich. Several strong mpanies
are operating in this dix Urict, one Cf
! them, the North Star, having lately
completed and put 10 operation y

Near the surface the greater part Of
the values in the ores are frcc-milI

tanned it is difficult to save them by
this process, and experiments are
now making haling ftr their end
the selection Of u treattn, Mt which,
when used. with the stamping and
ANAL gamation process, will prove
satisfactory.
In the Hornblendc district the
Columbia Mining company is work
on big vertical of freemilling ore,
which has been opened along its
surface exposure by numerous open
cuts and shallow shafts. and a mum
Der OF deep workings. Running
through this big ledge is twelve
foot streak which carries values
ranging from ! u to $40 a tln, free
milling, but the greater part Of the
ore is low grade but which should
pay handsomely to work if treated
in large plant. In the same dis
trict the Yellow Bird and Benedict
groups show from developments
large lodges of ore which at the sur
face carry excellent free-miling
values. These groups have been
| worked to profit at times, some of
their ores going high.

PROMINENT PROPERTIES OF
THE REGION.
A SPLENDID FIELD
Fortunes that Await the Touch Of
Intelligent Effort to
Materialize them.

Small and in many instances very
rich veins are the rule in tle South
ern Hills, and with II few exceptions
the mines in that section OF the
Black Hills are all high grade prop
ositions. A striking example o.
this fact is the Holy Terror, which
in one days run Il few years ago,
with five-stamp mill. cleaned up
something over 1000 and never
touched the plates. The Holy Terror
has been opened up to the l,20O-loot
level, and at that depth the ore,
while of fair grade, has never
proved to be so rich as it was nearer
the surface. From the Holy Terror S
1,l00-foot level drift has been run
which taps the keystone vein, one
OF the properties of the company,
but the ore at that level, while
carrying good values, cannot sue
cessfully be treated by stamping
and amalgamation, The Sunnyside,
Juniper, Ivanhoe and other proper
ties in the immediate neighborhood
of the Holy Terror have produced
some of the richest specimen quartz
ever taken from the ground. In
fact, quartz half gold is not q rarity
in the Southern Hills. The veins
are all true assures in the atchaen
states, standing almost vertical and
continuing downward to great
depths The exception to this rule
occurs in the Rockford and Horn
blende districts, where extensive
free-milling ore bodies have been
opened up, some of them rivaling
the immence low grade verticals OF
the northern hills in extent.

The Wyoming Worlds Fair com
mission has made good. The smallest
state in point of wealth and popula-
ton, of course, had a very small ap.
preparation for exhibition purposes,
but it captured several grand prizes
and Il bunch" of lesser prizes that
caused several of the states to turn
green with envy. And there was no
deficiency. The next legislature will
not be asked to appropriate a large
sum of money to meet unpaid bills.
On the contrary. the commission has
to its credit about 20 ger cen of the
entire appropriation. The gentlemen
whc are entitled to the credit
Tor this work and to whom The

to make a reservoir in the big hollow
west of our town, so that we could irri-
gate one hundred thousand acres of
land between the two Laramies, it
would not be long before the territory
between the rivers named would be
thickly settled and farm houses count

but a reality. which may be verified by
referring to the Pioneer ditch ranch

requires to be done for Wyoming. We

of this nature helps, for the reason
that the money is kept at home. This
road will also turn a large portion OF
the Encampment and upper Platte

by the way OF Walcott.
There are other things Laramie

To the Editor of The Republican.
In my opinion, we are progressing
very nicely in Albany county. How
ever, nothing like we should. find
that our people are still inclined to be
skeptical about the possibilities OF
making successes along the lines Of
agricultural business. 1t is perfectly
clear in my mind, without any ques-
ton or doubt. that our possibilities are
much greater than ever those who
have tried it and make a success real
ize that they are. The conditions of
our county, financially speaking, are
much better than they were in 1908
and so much better than they were in
1900.

which may be proven to those who
are skeptical.
This year, | must confess, has been
rather backward for us in a financial
way, a fact which have learned from
my own experience and that of others
in my business, and one which I con.
slider due to the fact that it has been
a campaign year. But one fact be-
comes palmer to me every year of
my life-we, the stock raisers and ag
ricultural people, the merchants and
public, must become our own market,
instead of sending thousands of dol,
lars out of our state every year for the
importation of produce. Of course, we
are gradually nearing that end, but
our progress in that direction is too
slow; we must do something to more
thoroughly convince people of this
fact. Just take into consideration the
amount of produce we can grow at
home; stop and compare the plains of
Colorado twenty years ago and those
of Wyoming ten years ago with those
of today. If Wyoming will progress in

condition than ever before. The sheep
industry has been exceptionally good
during the past year, and it promises
to be even better the coming year.
Last year sheep hat sold for from
$2.75 to SO per head cannot now be
bought for less than from 1915 to 81
per head The reason for this uplift
in the price OF sheep is to found in the
fact that during the past year wool
brought from IA cents to 16 cents per
pound, and it promises to bring even
higher prices for the coming year.

Prices for horses and mules during
the past year have been better than

The banks during the past year have
been doing very well and this is the
best sign that l know CT the prosperity
of the country generally. Some people
think that when times are hard and
the people generally are losing money
then the banks reap a harvest. Just
the reverse of this Is true. When the
people generally are making money
then the banks flourish best, but when
the people generally are losing money

ket them during the spring month, be.
lieving the year 1905 has more in store
for the cattleman than 1904. The past
year has not been as satisfactory to
the cattle handlers as the preceding
twelve years.
Prices on nearly everything except
cattle eem to be extremely high, and
l assume business was never better
or more safely conducted than during
the last twelve months. Ranges and
stock are in fine condition, and, with
a reasonable winter, stock losses will
be almost entirely obliterated.
AS a whole, our people have been
extremely prosperous, with the indica-
