In view of the tremendous possibi-
Titles contained in that rarest and
most recently discovered element. ra-
dium, and the fact that here in Gil
pin are the only pitchblende mines
as yet discovered in this country,
some facts concerning the latest re-
search work are Of more than passing
interest to the layman.
Professor L. F. Miller, of the Colo
RADIO School of Mines at Golden, has
given out an interview, concerning the
tests he made at Idaho Springs, in
which he states that the waters of
that health resort owe their healing
qualities to the presence of radium
emanations. This theory was person
ally expressed to the writer in an in
terview some months ago by DIR. Will
helm Petrasccheck, the Austrian gov
ernment geologist, who confined his
attentions strictly to the research
into pitchblende ores and made his
headquarters at the most famous of
all pitchblende territory, Bohemia,
owned by the Austrian government.
Petrascheck, an Austrian of marvel
GUS intellect and mental attainments,
also declared that he believed the
waters of this section were radioac-
tive and that we might ultimately
expect to see people from other coun-
tries, as we'll as various sections of
this, making pilgrimages to this place
to find here the cure for the many
ills for which radioactive water
would be found beneficial. He made
a trip to Idaho and tested the water
there also.
His findings were not disclosed as
he left in pursuant to a request from
his government to return immediate
ly. But he emphatically stated, as
he drove up the Virginia canon road,
his belief that the waters of the Ida
no Springs were made radioactive by
the Quartz hill pitchblende.
Il have no doubt in my mind, and
my experience as a geologist would
confirm my belief, that from this
pitchblende belt up here, there ex-
tends subterannean passage or wat
er course, which has its outlet with
in the Idaho Springs caves. In view
Of the fact that I have not been able
to determine the presence of pitch
blende at Idaho. this would naturally
be my conclusion. How deep this
water course may be, l cannot say.

ducing the farm products, live

of such machinery. For exam
pie, if a machine cost 800 and
is regarded as good for ten years
of service, the annual deprecia-
ton would be 10 per cent, and a
deduction of $40 each year could
be made on this account, as part
of the expense Of operating
the farm.
The expense Of supporting the

Having stated some of those who
should stay away. it is only proper to in
dicate some of those who should come to
Argentina.
University professors and college stu
dents should come. l put them first. 1t
IS only within the last five years that
the colleges and universities in the
United States have discovered South
America, and included in that discovery
We're Buenos Aires and the Argentine
Republic. Possibly score of professors
now come every year. but the number
might be multiplied with very great ad-
vantage The economic development of
Argentina is one of the phenomena of the
twentieth century. The evolution of the
political system is still going on The
fruitfon of the educational ideas of Hor-
ace Mann which Sarmiento imbibed when
he was in the United States, and which
he implanted after he became president.
can be studied with some reflex advan-
;aSe to American educators. And there
are many other things which men of OBJ
seryation such as university professors
are supposed to be, learn in -Argen-
tina and impart to the wider audience
which comes under their direct inStruc-
ton.
Business men, heads of firms, should

taken notions that it has become neces-
sary to answer them by means Of circular
letters. In which is explained the i'm
portance of knowing the Spanish lam
suage in a Spansh-speaking country by
any one who wants to get trade or wants
to find employment. Then follow state
ments to correct misapprenensions.
Some business firms whose names are
of international prominence also find
it necessary to resort to circulars in
order to answer the many inquiries they
receive.
Argentina is today the best advertised
country in South America. This is be-
cause for the last ten years the world
has been clamoring for its wheat and
beef. and its great ma teria' progress in
the way of railway construction and vari-
Gus public improvements have become
known.
On the part of the government the ad-
vertisfns is on the whole judicious and
conservative. The official publications
many of which are in English as well as
in Spanish-sive very full information re-
Garding the resources and the interna-
tional commerce of the country. Anybody
who wants to be fully informed. there

the trouble is that great many people
