WASHINGTON. ID. C.-The Uniced
States geological survey has jus,
published report entitled: Notes
on Vanadium Deposits in Colorado.
Utah and New Mexico" by Frank /.
Hess The bulletin tells OF The
scarcity of sources from which vana-
dunn can be obtained at cost
which will allow its profitable Use
in the arts and because of the greaf-
ly increased demand caused by the
use of vanadium in steel manufac-
ture. The report covers studies
made by Hess of deposits near
Placerville. Colorado. near Green
River, Utah, and in the Sierra de
los Caballos New Mexico
The known vanadium deposits oil

south of Newmire The deposits oc-
cur on both sides of Leopard
creek Some deposits occur on The
east side of Fall creek and Others
are found on south side of San
