How to Recognize Pitchblende

Herman FIeck, director of the re- search department of the Colorado school of Mines, says:
 Pitchblende occurs in fissure veins, in igneous rocks like granite. lt Is valued for it's uranium and radIum con- tents. It is not found in sedimentary rocks like sandstone, although altera- tion products of it may be found there iu. Such alteration products are col ored yellow or greenish and, when ID sufficient concentration and quantity, are valuable for their uranium con- tents. The radium value in these IS small, as rule.
 Pitchblende is found in vein matter in striugers varying from knifebiade thickness to several inches. 1t is "bunchy." The associated minerals in addition to vein matter are snlphides such as zine bleDde, gslena and iron pyrites. The latter usually predomin- ates. It is detected in these streaks by the following properties.
 Color-Pitch black, velvety black, brownish sometimes with grayish or greenish cast. The streak on rough porcelain, l. e., the edge of broken plate, is brownisb black, olive green or grayisb.
 Luster-DuIG, metallic, greasy, pitch like. ,..
 Fracture-Conchoidal, that is with smooth curved surfaces, to uneven. Brittle.
 Hardness-Less than quartz. It is not scratched by knifeblade unless weatbered
 Specific Gravity-Heavier than iron or steel; also heavier than galena. ] The following common minerals are ! likely to be mistaken for pitchblende F by prospeetors:
 Obsidian or volcanic glass, which diff fers from pitchblende in it's lightness, glassy luster and light streak.
 Magnetic, which differs from pitch ] hleDde mainly in that it is attracted by the magnet.
 Hematite, which differs from pitch blende mainly in possessing red streak.

After floating 300 miles alone in a small dory, George Pedersop, aged 72 years, was picked np by the Japanese fishing schooner Hoko Maru, nearly starved and entirely helpless. Peder- son started in the dory from Sand Point June to go to his home on Sanak island, 150 miles west of this port, and on the third day out heavy gate blew ap, followed by thick fog, and Pederson lost his bearings entirely, having no compass. His little boat drifted westward with the currents 200 miles beyond Sanak island before he was rescued by the Japanese. His small stock of provisions, supple mented by the fish he caught was ex- hausted when be was picked up, and he had been out of fresh water several days. The Japanese took the old man aboard their schooner and kept him un- til his strength was restored, when they towe6 him within a few miles of his home. He came to Sand Point again today and told his story. He is pro- f1se in his gratitude to the Japanese, who showed him all possible kindness, particularly Captain S. 0no.-Valdez Prospector.
