Wilson Of about $1,000.
The break started from the spill
way, and was discovered before the
actual break took place, but the
damage could not be repaired In time
to avert the flood. The water came
down onto Flag creek with q crest of
10 to l5 feet in height and took
bridges, fences and corrsls with 1t.
The flood did considerable damage
to crops on the Wilson place but Mr..
Wilson'S greatest loss will be his
water for irrigation purposes, as the

Blue Mountain Radium

Camp Actyn, on Blue mountain,
is the name of the Carnotite field
which is now rapidly coming to the
front, and awakening interest Of the
radium men of the west. Each day
we see or hear Of outfits either on the
way or outfitting for the new camp.
Ground is being staked very rapidly,
and from the number Of claims.
quality and variety of minerals In
that section, 1t would seem to be
only q matter of short time until We
have q busy camp on the eastern and
southern slopes of Blue mountain.
A large sample Of Carnotite ore
was brought to this office, q few days
ago, by q. E. Ross, one Of the first
locators Of this class of mineral In
the Blue mountain region.
1t will be remembered that Messrs.
Ross, Smith and Nielsen, some time
ago, made quite large shipment Of
radium bearing mineral to Denver,
from which they received very graft
flying returns. These people are now
getting ready to mine on a large
scale. They will probably introduce
power drills and such other ms
chinery as will increase and cheaper
the production OF this much desired
ore.
While the haulage at present to
the railroad is similar to that from
the Paradox district and other Car
notite fields, the extension Of the
Mofiat road westward will tap the
Blue mountain camp and place it
within easy reach of the markets Of
the world.
The new camp carries quite vari-
ETY. of minerals; in addition to Car
notite, 1t carries gold, silver, copper,
zinc and other minerals.
The radium bearing ore body is ,
true fissure vein from three and .
half to four feet in thickness, and
carries rich values through the en-
tire group of seven claims, which
comprise the original locations. An
alysis shows that this ore will run
from 2 to 20 per cent in radium
values. Two per cent ore will yield
about 4.65 Kilograms OF radium
bromide per ton, usually quoted 1t
$l2O per milogram. A large per cent
Of these radium bearing ores finds
their way to European markets and
commands . better figure than can
be secured in this country.
