SENDS PROTEST To LANE
HENEHAN WARNS AGAINST BLOW
IN RADIuM ACTION.
Mining Commissioner Sees Loss oi
$2,1eo,ooo Annually to State In
Proposed Withdrawal.

Western Newspaper Unio1 News Service.
Denver.-Thomas r. Henehan, state
mining commissioner, has prepared
for submission to the Interior Depart
ment at Washington figures to show
that tor the first eleven months of
1918 nearly So per cent of the car
notite (radium- ores) shipped
from western Colorado was positively
known to have been treated in the
United States, while another 15 per
cent was shipped to New York without
its final destination being known
Only 30 per cent, he points out, was
actually consigned to Europe.
In a letter to Secretary of the In
terror Lane, protesting against the
governments reported policy to with
draw from entry all lands believed to
contain radlum-bearing ores, Henehan
points out that all carnotite companies
in this state were financed by Ameri-
cans, with the exception of one com
pany which was financed in Europe,
but majority of whose directors are
American citizens"
Henehan declares in his letter. that
if the government withdraws the ra-
dium-bearing lands of the public
domain. it will impose an irreparable
injury upon the development of the en-
tire mineral resources of Colorado.
The withdrawal, for example, of the
carnotite fields of Dolores, San Mi
guel, Montrose, Mesa and Rio Blanco
counties" he says, would mean loss
of an annual payroll of millions Of
dollars to Colorado miners. There are
200 miners engaged in mining car
notite in these counties. When the
metallurgical process has been worked
out, these fields should give employ
ment to not less than 1000 miners, at
an average wage of SO per day. This
would create an annual payroll of ST..
10000"

is to stand beside the queen at state

Or For Fun?

Do you dance for the sake of art or
for fun?
The question as to whether a dane
ing party is given to entertain the
guests or to exploit the terspichorean
art seems to be paramount with Rich
mond chaperones or other dancing cen
sors, who have objected to the new
dip" dances.
If perfection in the art were the
prime aim in dancing, then the new
dances would be barred by most of
the dancers, but since it is fun to be
got out of the amusement that most
dancers are seeking, the popularity of
the new steps is not likely to wane i'm
mediately.
This dance controversy makes me
think" said society woman yester-
day. "Of the old idea that we used to
entertain that children should be made

the proper exercise whereby they
