New Source of Radium Is Discovered

TN view Of the growing belief
that radium holds out the
promise Of victory over some

able diseases that afflict human

Ger. there will be rejoicing over the
news that q new source of supply Of
this element has been found and is be-
ing developed in the United States.
The first radium ever known was
discovered in the mineral pitchblende,
a blue-blacks heavy substance, found in
considerable abundance at the mines Of
JOachimsthaI in Austria, and formerly
thrown aside as waste. Until recently
JOachimsthal had a virtual monopoly
In the production Of radium because
pltchDIende itself IS not very widely
distributed over the earth, and no other
mineral was known from which "a
dium could be extracted. Moreover,
the Joachimsthal pitchblende is ex-
traOrdinarily rich in radium, contain
ing about one ten-milliOnth of one per-
lists idea of richness is widely different
from that of the gold miner.
Now, however, this monopoly has
been broken. for it has been found that
a new mineral (carnOtite, named in
honor Of a former president of France,
although discovered in the United
States), is at least as rich as pitch
blende in radium, and easier to work.
The greatest deposits of carnotite
yet found are IN Paradox valley, Colo,
but il also exists in paying quantity in
UtaE, especially near Green river. Ma
turally, miners are beginning to pros
pect for IL, and the Denver office of
the bureau Of mines has issued a cir
cular describing the appearance of car
nOtite and the method of testing it for
the existence of radium.

Mogollon, n. N, Dec. 17-At the
Little Charlie mine, pipe connections
have been made with the Maud S COM
pressor and the machines are now used
in ore breaking. Shipments to the Gus
tom mill have been resumed.
At the Pacific Mines company the
electrical equipment has been com
pleted and placed in commission and
development and stopping are now done
with air drills. About IS tons Of ore
are sent to custom works daily
At the DeadWOod mines five bars Of
gold and silver bullion were smelted
from the last cleanup. During the
week 365 tons of ore were treated
and % feet Of development work done
At the Ernestine Mining company
the company has inaugurated custom
milling, being the third ore buyer now
in the field. During November an
average Of 1872 tons of ore were treated
daily in the mill. Additional tanks
are being added to the plant.
The SOcOrrO Mining & Milling COM
pany in November shipped a little over
two tons Of gold and silver bullion to
the mint, in addition to a large amount
Of high grade concentrate.
The Oaks company lessees continue
to take out good milling ore from the

CANANEA IS IN
GOOD CONDITION
Stories of Disorders Are De-
clared Exaggerated;
Coal Vein Struck.


Douglas, Ariz., Dec. 17-Cananea
conditions are better at this time than
at any period during the last year, &C
cording to S. NJ Greenidge, who has
returned after stay of several weeks
on business connected with his lease
on the COntingencia property.
The supposed condition OF unrest,
tales of which have bean spread broad
cast, are highly exaggerated, he says.
As a matter of fact, the working class
is better satisfied than ever before in
the history of the camp. The leasing
and contract systems, now in vogue on
company property have placed more
ready money in circulation among the
miners than ever before. OF the work
he is doing on his lease, Mr.. Greenidge
declined to talk, except to say that he
is developing the ground with a small
force, under A. r. Dickson, of Douglas.
The Mexican Metals company is en-
larging its mill, he stated, intending to
increase its capacity by 100 tons per
day The Calumet e Sonora is con-
unuing its development work, both
sinking and drifting for the purpose Of
opening up ore bodies with depth.
Chief Makes Good Strike.
Two feet of solid shipping ore, carry
ing copper and silver values has been
struck in the Chief mine at Patagonia,
according to adV1ceS received by George
B. HOsier, of this city who is interested
IN It The strike was made at depth
of 155 feet in the new shaft which is
btAilS Sullh- a new ROAD mas Deen Du1lT
and new machinery installed, as a re-
suit of which the shaft is going down
at the rate of about three feet per day
The CObre Verde property, eight
miles northeast of Cabullona, Sonora,
has opened up u good body of ore
according to recent arrivals. The work
OF development however is not being
given as much attention. as might be,
the chief work in hand being the
building of the wagon road from the
mine to the railroad which viii do
away with burrO freighting and mean
a considerable saving. The property
IS owned by James Wallace of this city
but is being worked by leasers.
Strikes Vein of Coal.
John West, a hOmesteader and goat
raiser whose place is located about 90
miles north of Douglas, has brought in
samples OF soft coal which, he said,
was taken from vein two feet in
width, discovered by his soninlaw. Mr.
West said his soninlaW was going
through the mountains looking for
stock When he came to the gully in
which he found the coal, he noticed
the OutcrOpping which had been barred
by the recent heavy rains. He took a
sample of. it and found that it was

large sackful which he tried as fuel
with excellent results

DEAL FOR ARIZONA
KING MINE CLOSED
Two Shafts VIII Be sunk On Property;
Calumet q Copper Creek Mine
Resumes Operations.


Ray, AriZ-, Dec IA ". Scott a
mining engineer of New York city, has
Just closed a deal for the purchase Of
the Arizona King mine situated few
miles from Ray in the Box canyon.
The Arizona King has produced con-
siderable ore in the past few years.
Work under the new management viii
be pushed and considerable develop
ment work done. It has been decided
to sink two shafts on the property to
a depth of at least 500 feet each. A
large force of men has already been
employed by the new company for
their work.
F G. Finney, superintendent Of the
newly organized LOndon-ArizOna Min
ing company, has arrived from Los
Angeles and will devote considerable
of his time to supervising the develop
ment work on the property. Shipments
of ore have ceased until development
work has reached such a stage so as
to enable the company to remove a
larger tonnage than formerly. Mr..
Williamson, one of the largest stock
holders in the company, is on the
ground acting in the capacity of man
ager.
The Calumet & Copper Queen Min
ing company has again resumed Oper-
ations on its property near Mammoth
after a shut down for the past six
months. A large supply of coal has
arrived in Winkelman and is being
taken out by teams to the mines. Gid
Graham, forwarding agent for the COM
pany, with headquarters in Winkelman,
states that the company will soon be
working at full capacity and that
shipments of concentrates will COM
mence shortly
On account of the extremely heavy
travel over the line of the Arizona
Eastern between Kelvin and Hayden,
the railroad company has decided to
lay heavier rails between those two
points. About $50 cars of ore are
taken each day from Ray by way of
Kelvin to Hayden, besides local
freight, and the present rails are too
light to Withstand the heavy traffic.
c. Buchanan, formerly connected
with the Ray Consolidated office force
in Ray, has accepted a position in the
offices of the Magma Copper company,
at Superior.
Manager L S. Gates spent consider
able time last week in Hayden looking
after matters in connection with the
Ray Consolidated mill.

ROAD TO NELSON AITNE

Prescott, Ariz-, Dec. 17-Within the
next six months narrow gage rail-
road will be built from Grown King
to the holdings of the Nelson Mining
company, 1000 feet distant, and a 20
stamp mill viii be erected at the mine
The exact type of mill to be set I'D has
not been determined. though an exca-
Walton for the foundations is being
made
Electric power for both the mine and
mill is to be generated at Crown King
by oil or gasoline burning engines.
Crown King was chosen as the site for
the power plant because it is there
that the Bradshaw mountain railroad
ends.

But Will Our Ajax standi

The side remark made by our dem
ocratic United States senator. who
happens 20 hold the crucial power as
member Of the banking and cur
rency committee. that the hearings
woald last two months is bringing
him again into the spotlight.
To emphasize the determined posi-
tion Of the senator, his own person
ally-conducted newspaper organ here
pictures the senate as typifying him
inviting the currency bill to sit down
and stay month or two to become
better acquainted.
Two months dallying in commit
tee would delay reporting out the
measure till the last week in No
vember. No bill of that scope could
possibly run the gauntlet OF senate
debate short OF several weeks, so that
two months more Of hearings would
absolutely prevent its passage at the
present special session, which must
give way on the first Monday in De-
cenber to the regular session.
But President Wilson has issued
his edict that the currency bill must
be disposed Of at the extra session.
The democratic caucus will pro-
mulgate a decree to the same effect.
When the screws are turned, will
our Aiax-Iika democratic aanator
