WORLD RAD|UM SUPPLY
LARGELY FROM THE US.
This Country Forced to Buy
Abroad Valuable Product
From Ores Bought Here.

Fully two-thirds of the radium supply
Of the world comes from the United
States. according 10 the bureau OF mines.
This discovery has just been made by Of
flcials of the bureau. who have found
that large quantities Of the radium bear
ing ores are being shipped abroad through
the foresight of foreign scientists. Al
though the bureau of mines has ascer-
tanned that the United States has the
greatest known supply OF radium-bear!ns
ores not enc bit has been produced here.
Ii is he intention of the bureau Of mines,
in view Of these facts. 10 encourage the
development of this industry, the product
of which is valued at approximately 81,
10000 an ounce.
The United States today is in the hui
initiating position of being forced To pur-
chase at eAtrayagant prices from abroad
such radium as its hospitals and physi-
clans can afford for experimental pur-
poses, while We have been supplying the
ores from which il is made. said Charles
l.. Parsons, chief of the division OF min
eral technology OF the bureau.
Several months ago rumorS reached
the bureau of mines that in Colorado
there had been an increase demand for
carnotite the radium- carrying ore, and
that this ore was being shipped abroad
in considerable quantity IT was also
reported that the Europeans were insist
ing upon only the highest grades Of
these ores, and that a great amount OF
lower grade ores was practically being
wasted.
Came From American Ores.
'R. B. Moore and X. J.. kithil, in charge
of the Denver, Col, laboratory invest
gated these rumors and found that, whtls
all the radium placed upon the market H.
the last few years had been produced
in Europe. a large portion of this hsd
come from American ores.
The Austrian government, realizing
the untold possibilities OF the radium ores
at st. Joschmsthal. purchased the mines.
On the other hand. the United States has
allowed her much greater resources TO be
exploited by foreigners on basis which
wastes perhaps irretrievably a large por
ton of the ores mined. and has exported
carefully selected ores at price by no
means commensurate with its radium
value.
The discovery of radiunl has aiready
changed our ideas rega rding the consti-
tuition of matter. and scientific investisa-
ton will undoubtedly lead to valuahIe
results which We cannot now even foresee
1t is the purpose OF the bureau OF mines
to encourage the development of a ra-
dunn industry in the United States
