BRANCH LABORA-
TORY AT DENVER

Notwithstanding the vanadium and
uranium deposits of southwestern Col
crado and eastern Utah have been ex.
plotted for several years, the industry
has apparently only had a beginning
in this part of the world An evident
lack of coordinate knowledge con-
eerning the origin, mining, treatment
and sale of these resources has in
fluenced the Bureau of Mines to estab.
lish branch laboratory in Denver for
the special investigation of this sub
Ject. There are no standard books for
the American reader, and it will prob
ably fall to the privilege of the bu-
reau to issue a much-soupht mono.
graph at an early date. Certainly the
government has possessed no better
opportunity to encourage the work of
miners in the west.
1t is surprising fact, in view of
the expanding use of vanadium steel.
that so large a part of the vanadium-
uranium ores of southern Colorado is
sent abroad for its Uranium content
and that the vanadium demand is not
responsible for the developments that
are going on in that region. The in
ference to be drawn is that the radium
content of the uranium oxide is being
reduced from these shipments. It is
probable that increasingly cheap
methods of producing vanadium will
be necessary to the encouragement of
the larger use of this type of steel;
II other words, that the price of vana-
dunn will have to be diminished. But
in the case of radium, it is not the
price thereof, but the necessity of se-
curing it at any price that is the chief
consideration.
A recent announcement from Wash
ington is that the Bureau of Mines is
to specialize in the subject of radium
production and it desires to employ
chemists who are capable of attacking
this question in the United States.
Uranium itself has limited uses and is
too costly for purposes which can be
met by other elements. Events, there
fore, seem to point to the broader use
of the vanadium deposits for the
radium- bearing mineral which accom-
panies them. The general public pos
sesses only superficial information
concerning the radium supply and its
markets, and the government pos
sesses fine opportunity to give en-
lightenment upon this point. After
this, the problem of cheap vanadium
still remains Mining Science.

REPORTED STRIKE
AT ROCHESTER

A Rochester special to the Reno
Gazette yesterday says that at .
Q clock big strike is reported on the
Nenzel tunnel and the camp is wild
with excitement. While not definitely
known, il is taken for granted by
many persons that this strike marks
the striking of the ledge which spells
permanency and prosperity for the
camp. Experienced mining men have
all along declared that if the main
vein is struck, it will mean that Roeh-
ester will develop into one of the rich
est producers the world has ever
known.
The strike was made by the last
shift. They dug into picture ore.

RATIFY INCOME
TAX AMENDMENT

An income tax is now one of the
provisions Of the constitution of the
United States.
Wyoming's ratification yesterday of
the income tax amendment-the six
tecnth change in the constitution and
first since the reconstruction-com
pleted list of. thirty-six states
three-fourths of the Union, which
have approved the provision, neres-
sary under the constitution.
Enabling Act Next.
Congress now will enact a law to
levy the tax and it probably will be-
come effective during the extraordi
nary session to be called by President
elect Wilson in March. The tax it
self, its provisions and its limitations,
are all left to congress.
May Tax All Above $4,000.
The new law probably would super
sede the corporation tax and provide
for a tax an all incomes above $4,000,
although there has been some senti-
meIt in favor of making the limit as
lew 2s $4,000.
Congressional leaders who have
been preparing for the final ratifying
by the states, estimate an income
would bring in about $l00,000,000 a
year TO the government.
Now that the tax is provided by the
e Institution, the proposed excise tex,
framed by the Democratic leaders in
1912 to meet the Supreme Court s de-
cision, which held a former income
tax unconstitutional, will be dropped
and some of its provisions may be
included in the new law.
Wyoming's Action Unexpected.
West Virginia ratified the amend
ment last week. One house in New
Jersey and one in New Mexico have
approved it. Wyoming's ratification
was wholly unexpected at this time.
Thirty-five other states which have
ratified the amendment are Alabama,
Arkansas, Arizona. California, Colo
rado. Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maine, Michigan, Maryland, Minnesota,
Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Ne
braska, Nevada, New York. North
Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
Oregon, Ohio, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washing
ton, Wisconsin and West Virginia.
Four states thus far-Connectieut,
New Hampshire, Rhode Island and
Utah-have rejected the amendment.

PRESIDENT TAFT HOLDS
RECORD FOR TRAVELLING

Since Mr.. Taft became governor
general of the Philippine Islands in
1901 it is stated that his tours and
travels have taken him a distance of
$4,000 miles In one year, 1908, the
year in which he was elected to the
presidency, he covered a, 7,270 miles, or
nearly twice the circumference of the
earth. Since coming into the presi-
Dental Office his journeys have reach
ed total of 115,000 miles.
hTe contrast of such life with that
which Washington led as the first
president Of the United States is
worth noting. On April 16, 17s9
Washington left Mount Vernon for
New York, where he was to be induct-
ed into his rev Office reaching there
by horse a week later He remained
in the city until October 18th. when
he started out on what he described in
dis diary as a tour through the east
ern states.' He was absent a month
travelling as far north as Portsmouth
y. II. He avoided visit to Rhode
Island, which resomtely remained out
side the Union. The trip was pro
iected, indeed, with view to silent
ly administering a reproof to the re-
fractory thirteenth colony. The lit
tie state ratified the constitution in
the United States in May, 1890, and in
recognition of the act the president in
August started by packet boat for
Newport and Providence. Upon his
return to New York he soon departed
the city, never to come back to it as
"A public officer, for congress meantime
had established the seat of govern
ment in Philadelphia. After a few
weeks spent at his home in Virginia
he repaired to the new capital from
which he was seldom absent until the
end of his second term in March, 1897,
except for his periodical visits to his
southern plantation.
In March, 1871, he began an extend
ed ''tour through the southern
states,' which carried him as far as
Charleston and Savannah, intended, as
the eastern trip had been, to bind the
various parts of the country in frmer
union. In 1894 President Washington
accompanied the troops into the west
ern part of Pennsylvania to quell the
whisky insurrection; but here his
travels out of the familiar path be-
tween Philadelphia and Mount Vernon
came to an end.
The Republic has changed much
since that time. East and south have
been supplanted by west extending
to the Pacific ocean. \ Panama canal
and islands in the sea have converted
the little strip of land upon the At
lantic seaboard into an empire upon
which the sun never sets. The exigen-
cies of party seem to make travel for
president expedient from a personal
standpoint, when it is not necessary
in the line of public service The
locomotive and the steamship have re-
placed the road coach and the packet
boat, so that movement over great dis
tances is both swift and comfortable.
1t may be thought that Mr.. Taft has
travelled too far aud too much, but as
the president of the United States he
has been a welcome guest wherever he
has gone, even in times of the greatest
factional turmoil. and he has set for
his successors standard in this re-
spect which they win probably find it
necessary to maintain-Philadelp

BISON" MOVING PICTURE
FILMS POPULAR WITH PUBLIC

The Bison moving picture films,
now being featured at the Nixon, are
proving very popular with the pub
lie. This is perhaps due in a measure
to the fact that the principals are the
members of the "101 Ranch show,
which was here last spring, and their
faces are more or less familiar with
the local public. The next films. in
point of popularity, are the tGaumont
Weekly" pictures, which give current
scenes from all parts Of the earth.

SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural COIor-Dandruff
Quickly Removed.

There is nothing new about the
idea OF using Sage for restoring the
color of the hair. Our grandmoth-
ers kept their hair dark, glossy and
abundant by the use of a simple
Sage Tea" Whenever their hair
fell out or took on a dull, faded or
streaked appearance, they made a
brew Of Sage leaves, and applied it
to their hair with wonderfully bene-
fetal effect
Nowadays we don't have TO re
sort to the old time tiresome meth
cd Of gathering the herbs and max
ing the tea This is done by skill
full chemists better than we could do
it ourselves; and all we have to do
is to cali for the ready made prod
uct, Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy. containing Sage in the
proper strength. with the addition Of
Sulphur. another old-ti time scalp
remedy.
This preparation gives youthful
color and beauty TO the hair. and is
one Of the best remedies you can use
for dandruff. dry feverish. itching
scalp, and falling hair. Get a fifty
cent bottle from your druggist to-
day, and you VIII be surprised at the
quick results. All druggists sell II.

COSMOPOL|TAN'S
.TANGLE CLEARING
Court Opens Way for Reorgan-
ization of Insurance Con-
Cern-State Aids Plans.

The first court move in the proposed
reorganization of the Cosmopolitan Life
Insurance Company came today when
Superior Judge Bell cited officers of the
Cosmopolitan to appear on January IS
and show cause why the company's as
sets should not be liquidated.
The order was taken by Attorney
General T. S. Fielder, acting for the
state insurance department, which con-
trolls the companys affairs at present,
under order of superior court.
The action means that the. plan for
reorganization of the Cosmopolitan,
adopted at a recent meeting of stock
holders. will be completed. A new
company, to be known as The Cosmo-
politan Life Insurance Company, with
capital of 100000, instead of $1,000
600. will be organized, and the present
company's liabilities adjusted to the
satisfaction Of state authorities. 1t is
understood that application for a char
ter for the new company has been
made with the secretary of state.
Thus the liquidation ordered by the
court on January is will be formal
affair, and the assets of the old COM
pany will be transferred to the new.
Later superior court will be asked to
approve the plan of reorganization
