CATTLE SINK INTO
THE GROUND

More than one hundred head of
cattle and half dozen or more wild
horses have been rescued from
death in the crevasses of Jake's
valley during this week, according
to Royal Matthias Of the government
forestry service, who returned
from Iliipah early this morning.
Constant vigilance OH the part of
the stock owners in that section is
all that is preventing a heavy-loss.
The crevasses continue to get
wider. additional openings:are occur
ing and the fear is expressed that it
may be necessary to drive all stock
from the range if loss would be
prevented.
II appears that the openings be
come filled with surface water and
that the cattle and horses in search
of water walk into the holes and
cannot get out without aid. Riders
are stationed at intervals of a half
mile or so through the danger zone.
These are constantly on the look
out and when an animal is found
struggling in the water it is lassoed
and dragged to safety. In this way
everal wild horses in search of
water were dragged from one..of the
holes yesterday.
Notwithstanding this precaution
it is believed the stock owners are

The damage to our track and

perfect safety. the floods did con-
siderable damage to the work, and
for the purpose of repairing this

now have a steamshovel employed
at the Cluro gravel pit, near Beo-
wave, taking out large quantities
of gravel. The product is being

KEEPING TAB ON JARBIDGE

Will Walker, who is spending a
few days in the city and who was
one of the first locators in Jarbidge,
has kept in touch with the new
camp. From the letters that he
has received from his partners up
that way it would appear that there
has been considerable booming and
not a great deal OF mining. Mr..
Walker states that there'are several
very promising prospects in the
district but the district is not any
better than any other where they
have proven the precious metals
abound. He looks for several good
mines being developed as has been
the ease in all of the new strike
districts His gound is considered

will go the to camp shortly and
dispose of his holdings.

seem that the edge of the boom has
worn of and the claim owners are

can Canyon in a few days where he

SOME FACTS ABOUT
RADIUM AND ITS PRICE

As George F. Kunz Of New York
advises the government bureau of
manufactures that an American
physician has recently purchased
in Paris 100 milligrams, or O.003527
of an ounce of radium for IS, 600,
the following report from Consul
George Niholifft, of Nuremburg,
Germany, on the selling and hand
ling of radium is of special value:
Interest in the investigation as to
the radioactive properties of waters
flowing from certain long-abandoned
mines Of Oberweisenthal, in Saxony,

CHANGED. to again be in Joachimsthal,
which in the 18th century was a
fiourishing silver camp and later
the home of George Agricola, who
may fairly be regarded as the
father of mineralogy, and then was
for several hundred years practic-
ally forgotten, until in the last few
years it has again come into public
notice as the one place where
radium is produced in commercial
quantities.
How small commercial quantities
may be is well illustrated by the
fact that it was only recently that
the announcement was made that
finally a second gram of radium
had been produced at the labratory
at Joachimsthal 1000 grams
equals l kilogram equals 2.2O49
pounds.) An article under a
Vienna date, published in a local
journal, now gives the regulations
of the Austrian government regard
ing the sale Of this valuable mineral
and describing the n in which
it is prepared and offered to the
scientific and technical world.
"Radium is one of the most ex-
pensive things in the world, and the
Austrian government has just fixed
the price for a milligram (the one
thousandth part of a gram at 400
crowns (ss1.20.) 1t is impossible
to deliver radium absolutely pure
and it is therefore prepared for sale
in a chemical combination and as a
matter of fact, as radium-barium
chloride.
Each radium preparation is in
closed in a round, so-called radium
cell, which has a diameter of 81
millimeters (millimeter equals
.OS937 inch) and a thickness of 9
millimeters. These cells are made
in the from of a case that screws
together, the material of which is
nickeled brass; the bottom OF the
cell is run full Of lead, in which is
sunk a small square hole and in this
hole is stored the radium preparation
The radium cell is then closed with a
plate. and it is thus not neces-
sary to open the cell in order to
the radium ray. Every
radium preparation is also officially
stamped and consecutively measures
