BISHOP OPERATES MINE.
Scientists Say Matz Mine Possesses
Rich Uranium Beds.

From the Denver Times.
BY leasing the valuable mining PROP
erty at Central City known as the Old
German mine Bishop Nicholas g. Mst1
of the Catholic diocese of Denver is in
a fair way to become a millionaire, whils
the Philadelphia capitalists Who have be
gun operating the mine are placing on
the market the richest deposits of ura-
mum in the world.
The fact that Colorado contained some
rare uranium beds has been known for
some time. They arc actually being
worked now. however and the demand
far exceeds the supply, as the output Is
being taken up as fast as IL can be got
ten out The Atatz mine is believed bv
experts to stand without a. rival. and the
Denver prelate. 1t is indicated, will be-
come immensely wealthy.
The actual value OF radium the mar
relous product of uranium, almost sur
passes imagination. A pound of radium
is worth in the neighborhood of $1,000. .O0o.
it IS claimed. Uranium deposits from
by scientists as sources of untold wealth.
It is the opinion of Prof. Flick Of the
State School of Mines at Golden that the
Matz mine at Central City. Col. possesses
the richest uranium beds in the entire
world.
The Matz mine has been leased to Phil
adelphia men. The latter hold the LEASE
among themselves, as the company Is
not stock-selling concern. Last week
the operators installed entirely new ma
chinery and equipment. They have been
working the mine for some weeks how
ever, and 1t is reported that they find no
difficulty in disposing Of their entire
output.
The lease was negotiated by W. c.
Brown, a Philadelphia lawyer, who has
been on the premises for some time. The
profit obtained from the uranium, 1t ID
stated, is clear gain. as the amount OF
gold In the mine is sufficient to pay the
operating expenses. Scientists are deeply
interested In the output of the Colorado
mines, which are the only ones OF the
Kind thus far discovered i'm America.

the tendency to depreciation by the
tthoughtless members of u command
