RADIUM BERAING ORE FOUND
IN LA PLATA MOUNTAINS

Although the radioactive ores have
not as yet been encountered in pay
ing quantity in the La Platas, small
quantities have been found in mines
and prospects in the district, and il
is not improbable that a systematic
search would show valuable deposits
of the carnotite, or uraninite ores.
But little at present, is known of
the radium bearing ores, and practi-
cally no prospecting has been done in
the La Platas for this most precious
of all metals.
Many minerals have been encount-
cred by mine owners and prospectors,
that have not been identified.
So far as has been determined, to
date, radium is found in combination
with uranium ores only.
Carhotite and uraninite are the two
uranium ores common to Colorado.
Carnotite is usually of bright
yellow color, generally occurring in
faulted or altered sandstone.
Uraninite, known as pitchblende, is
spague, velvet black or dark brown
in color. Streak is greasy black,
brown or green. Its extreme weight
is noticeable. 1t occurs associated with
various kinds of igneous rock, in eth
er blanket or fissure formation.
1t is advisable that prospectors be
on the lookout for these ores also for
platinum as this valuable metal oc-
ours in the La Platas in appreciable
quantity associated with copper
bearing ores, either blanket or fis-
sure.
The Copper Hill mine and several
prospects carry platinum to certain
extent and valuable platinum deposits
may be developed in the La Platas, as
has been done in Wyoming, where the
platinum is found associated with
copper ores and is known as sperry-
lite.
A continuation of this article will
appear in the "Miner" later on. All

ANENT RECENT SEX HYsTERIA.

The excited state of the public mind
as to certain serious social problems
relating to sex immortality is very well
illustrated by the recent series of
stories of abductions that were given
wide and sensational publicity. All
of them were told with lurid details
and undoubtedly helped to add to the
general uneasiness among certain
classes of people with regard to these
subjects.
All Of them have proved to be simp-
ly the quite unfounded tales of hys-
terical young women, who with NOR
bidiy uncontrolled minds have been
affected by the state of public feeling
until their fantastic imaginings be-
come real to them and were acted
out in order to satisfy their patholo-
gical desire for attention. The truth
with regard to them will not pene-
trate nearly so far as the original
stories.
The incidents are definite evidence
of the fact that there is mental as
we'll as physical contagion and that
psychic disorders of various kinds
may become epidemic. We are just
now in the midst of very widely
spread epidemic of over-excited at
tention to sexual matters that has al
ready done much harm and is likely
to do still more if the common sense
of the community does not come to
the rescue.-New York Herald.
