Great Radium Field
lBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS

DENVER, May i7.--That the radi-
um markets OF the world will ulti-
mately deprnu upon Denver for their
supply of the most precious metal in
existence. was the declaration made
here today by Rev. A. w. Forstall.
:. j.. who occupies the chair Of chem
iStry at the Sacred Heart College, and
scientists who have specialized in The
study of radium. It is the belief Of
Rev. Forstall that the so-called radium
fields Of Montrosc. San Miguel and
other southwestern Colorado counties
hold untold wealth in radilIm. The
great question, said Father Forstall.
is TO devise some method Of extracting
the metal and preparing it for market
ing at 100 per cent less outlay than
solved this problem and shortly will
publish full details Of his proposed
plan.
The Jesuit priest has worked for
years in his little laboratory out in
the college buildings. There is some
thing of the ancient alchemist in his
appearance and all of the enthusiasm
of one in his keen eyes. He believes
that upon reduced carnotite the world
will depend for its radium supply.
I ',arnOtte is lower in radium content
than pitchblend. from which nearly
all the radium supply is Secured To-
day, but the carnOtte is more easily
reduced and much more plentiful.
Pitchblend is found in exceedingly
small quantities In Europe. mostly in
Austria. Carnotite is found in COM
parative abundance in southwestern
Colorado.
Heretofore almost prohibtive rates
have been paid TO ship great masses
Of carnotite to Europe to have the ra-
dium extracted. Father Forstall be-
lieves he has the right plan to extract
the radioactive sulphates from the
carnotite before the stuff is sent to be
relieved of its precious radium.
~ cannot give out anything now,"
said Father Forstall today. but | hope
soon to have the correct solution. II
know | am on the right track, for
dozens Of experiments | have made in
the past year have turned out success
fully. am naturally compelled to ex-
pertinent with very small portions of
The ores in which radioactive sui
pilates are found. and of course this
makes it absolutely necessary for me
to make many more experiments and
then work out a general average"

This is predcated on fact
Attorney General Hogan ruled that

the governors sanction.
Hunt declared he will not do This. aS
the local troops would be insufficient to
handle the situation and might only
cause more serious rioting.

nights leave little to be desired so far

Cotton is doing splendidly in most

age do not exceed 10000 to $4,000, a
considerable falling off from early estf-

per cent over the crop OF last year.
