PRODUCTION or RAD|UM
WAS 22.4 GRAMS 1914
LARGEST OUTPUT IN HISTORY
MOST OF 1T CAME FROM
COLORADO.

The year 1914 was an eventful one
in the industry Of mining radium,
uranium and vanadium ores and had
by far the largest years production yet
made. Figures collected by Frank l..
Hess of the United States geological
survey, indicate that the output
amounted to about 1900 short tons of
dry ore carrying 81 tons of uranium
oxide and 22.4 grams Of metallic radi-
UNI. The ore was valued at about
$445.O00. The ore produced in 1913
contained Al tons of uranium oxide
and 105 grams of radium and that
produced in 1912 contained 26 tons of
uranium oxide and 81 grams of radi-
UNI. About nine-tenths of the con-
tanned radium is thought to be recov-
cradle under improved processes.
Vanadium Hard TO Separate.
Although carnotite. "a mineral Of
these rare metals, contains three times
as much uranium oxide as vanadium
oxide. The Colorado and Utah ores OF
these metals generally contain other
vanadlum minerals in such quantity
that vanadium oxide is present in ex-
cess Of the uranium oxide However
little IS paid for the yanadium, as its
separation from uranium is trouble
some and only a few thousand dollars

producers for the vanadlum in the ores

roscoelite, a vanadium bearing mica
is mined at Vanadium, San Miguel
county, Colo on the eastern edge OF
the carnotite field, by the Primes
Chemical company. The total quaint
ty of vanadium in the carnotite and
other ores mined during the year was
apparently about 432 tons.

war stopped nearly all operations in
both mines and reduction plants, for
the two companies mentioned sold
their product largely in Europe and
practically all the ore bought by the
brokers was sold abroad. A little more
than 1900 tons of ore containing 28.1
tons of uranium oxide and 10 grams
of radium was consigned to Europe,
but as the foreign refineries were clos

No vanadinite or similar ores are

celving treatment by radium because
of its scarcity and high cost, and TO the
fact that much of the radium bearing
ore was being shipped out of the coun-
try, Secretary of the Interior Lane
caused TO introduced in congress bills
reserving radium bearing lands from
entry as mining claims, and providing
for government purchase. The bills
are still pending.
Reduce Cost of Radiun.
During the year the National Radi-
lum Institute conducted, under the su-
lpervision of the bureau of mines, min
ing operations at Long Park, near
Paradox Valley in Montrose county
colo, and a plant at Denver for the
production of radium and inyestiga-
ton Of processes. The work has beer
so encouraging that Director Holmes
has announced the probable produc.
ton of radlum at one-tkird of its pres
ent cost. Messrs. Lind and White
more of the bureau Of mines, state
that their Investigations show that
carnotite carries proportionally to its
content Of uranium as much radlun
as pitchblende or other uranium min
erals--that is, the radium has reached
It's maximum ratio to the uranium
from which 1t is derived and is thus ir
equilibrium. From published results
of experiments made on casual speci-
mems of carnotite 1t had been popular
" supposed that carnotite was less
rich than pitchblend in radium.
First COMMERCIAL Product.
In Utah the Standard Chemical com
pany made the first commercial pro
duction Of carnotite ores from the
Henry mountains during the year, and
the commercial production of uvanite
radium bearing mineral new to
science, accompanied by other uranium
minerals, one or more of which are yet

river Shipments were made from thu
newly opened carnotite deposits al
Court House, northwest of Moab
Utah, and from deposits Is or IS miles

was also made from Blue Mountain

One Company Produced Over Half.
The Paradox valley region was

area, and from it came the bulk of the

LIMITATION OF zEPPELlNs.
Carrying Capacity Not Sufficient for
Widespread Damage.
New York SUM


In an article upon the war, just pub
lished Lord Sydenham, who is a mill
tary authority of note and has seen a
good deal of service, says that 1.-The
store have not materialized, and Their
Wanted ZeppcliLs are beginning to be
regarded as failures" This is hardly
a fair statement, for the German sub.
marines have caused so much havoc in
the British fleet and are now seen to
be so potential for mischief as raiders
of cargo carriers that the efficiency of
the enemy's service must be accounted
a surprise of the first magnitude. But
as regards the failure of the Zeppelins
Lord Sydenham seems to have good
case.
The Zeppelins can operate with ad-
vantage only under favorable weather
conditions. It is calculated that if
one of them left Cuxhaven at noon she
could reach London by o'clock at
night, drop her bombs about the city
for an hour and make Cuxhaven on
the return voyage at o'clock the next
morning, but to do as we'll the airship
would have to travel at the maximum
speed of so miles an hour. But such
speed for the whole expedition seems
to be impracticable. The Zeppelins
that raided the east coast of England
on Tuesday, January 10, were moving
at half speed and if they came from
Cuxhaven they must have taken "a
hours for the round trip, it is estimat-
ed Should the weather change from
fair to stormy during such an inva-
sion the zeppelins might not get back
at all.
II is not believed that the Zeppelins
have room for enough explosives to
destroy property on large scale. The
full load is said to be $4,000 pounds.
For a voyage of "a hours the weight
of fuel would be 1900 pounds of the
crew 1000 pounds, of ballast and stores
1900 pounds, for wireless equipment,
25O pounds, leaving 1850 pounds for
explosives. The best British expert
opinion is that this supply would not
prove destructive enough to make a
raid even by several airships a matter
of much concern to the home military
authorities. Moreover, the coast elm
ate is usually so unpropritious for Wis
its of the enormous envelopes that the
Zeppelins are not likely to engage in
raids very often.
