Well, we can only judge from what

made the discovery that tons and
tons of this precious ore had been
shipped from Colorado to Europe and
that no radium had ever been made
in the United States. In the year
1912, sufficient of this carnotite ore
to make nine grams of radium, the
cream of the deposits, was shipped to
Europe, while the total radium in
this country at the present time is
less than two grams. We shipped

'By A-sociated PressJ
WASHINGTON, Jan 19.-The re
ported opposition of the people of
Colorado to the Governments plan to
withdraw from further appropriation
the Mountaineering lands upon the
public domain within that State is
hardly credited by Representative
Foster, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Mines and Mining 1t is
the purpose of the Government to
have the carnotite ores in these
lands mined and the radium extracted
for the treatment of cancer and other
malignant diseases in the hospitals
of the country. The fear is ex-
pressed that If this step is not taken.
these deposits will become the basis
Of private speculation and that the
radium, when obtained, will be sold
at almost prohibitive prices. This.
ii is claimed, has been the manner
Of exploitation so far, and the result
is that the United States, although
having almost a world monopoly of
the Mountaineering ores, has less
radium for the treatment of It's hun
dreds of thousands OF sufferers from
cancer than any prominent country
of Europe.

sinking of the Titanic, with its loss
of 1900 lives, and how the great
