The United States has allowed
her much greater resources to be
exploited by foreigners on a
basis which was perhaps ire
trievably a large portion of the
ores and has exported carefully
selected ores at a price by no
means commensurate with its
radium value. Even before car
notite was exported, pitchblende
another radium-making ore of
the highest grade was being
sent out of the country, at the
time when the worlds radium
output was supposed to be COM
ing wholly from Austrian ores.
while carnotite is found in
small quantities in a number of
states. the more important de-
posits are scattered over con-
siderable area in Colorado and
Utah. embracing Meeker and
Skull Creek in Colo. Green
River. Thompson's. Moab, Rich.
ardson. Table Mountain, Pah-
reah and other places in Utah.
The largest proportion of this
ore. however. has been produced
in or around Paradox valley in
southwest Colorado.
Gin the mining of these car
notite ores it is probable that
five tons of material capable of
concentration are thrown upon
the dump for every ton that
finds its way to market. To de-
velope methods for concentration
of these ores and save the vaIu-
able material now wasted is one
of the problems before the
Bureau of Mines with fair pros
poets of a successful conclusion.
"Pitchblende, the richest of
all notwithstanding minerals has
been found in small quantities
in Connecticut and in the felds-
par quarries of North Carolina.
Practically the total American
output has come from the mines
in Quartz Hill. Gilpin County,
Colorado.
Practically every ton of carno-
tite mined in 1912 went abroad,
and as the American deposits
are far from being inexhaust-
ible. we are rapidly depicting
our own reserve and are ship

The value of the ra-

The figures given show very
plainly stated that the United
States has taken the palm from
Austria as the radium producing
of the world. Very few
people have been cognizant of
the fact that the United States
has such deposits within her

RADIUM PRESENT

United States Bureau of Mines
Says Utah Contains Great
Deposits Of Rare Product

Washington, May 4.-The
United States Bureau of Mines
has made the startling discovery
that more than two-thirds of the
radium supply of the world is be-
ing made in Europe from Ameri-
can ores shipped abroad through
the foresight of foreign scien-
fists. Radium is purchasable
only in very small quantities and
at a price equivalent to So, $50. :
600, an ounce. and although,
) Tram the Investigation Of the
Bureau of Mines. it is shown
that the United States has the
greatest known supply of "a
dium-bearing ore in the world.
not one gram has been pro-
duced here.
"The United States today is in
the humiliating position of be-
ing forced to purchase at extrav-
agant prices from abroad such
radium as its hospitals and
physicians can afford for expert
mental purposes. while we have
been supplying the ores from
which it is made" said Charles
L. Parsons, chief of the Divi-
sion of Mineral Technology of
the bureau. eve have paid
Europe's price for what we
could get in order to investi-
gate the wonderful properties of
radium and their possible ap
plication to the eradication of
disease. 1t is needless to say
that we have been greatly ham,
pered in our work by the almost
prohibitive prices at which the
radium has been held.
Several months ago, rumors
reached the Bureau of Mines,
that in Colorado there had been
an increased demand for carno.
title, the radium carrying ore
and that this ore was being
shipped abroad in considerable
quantity. 1t 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. r. B.
Moore and X. L. KithiI. in
charge of the Denver, Colo. lab
ratory of the bureau were re-
quested to investigate these
rumors and they reached the
surprising conclusion that while
all the radium placed upon the
market in the last few years had
been produced in Europe, a large
portion Of this had come from
American ores.
