possibly both. 1t is also stated that
there are two or three properties in
this district upon which the company
has received favorable reports, and one

Notes on Radium and Its Sources
Chester t. KEENAN,, Murray, Idaho

The mineral was named after Adolphe
Carnot, a noted French chemist.
The sandstone formation in which
earnotite has been found in Colorado
and Utah lies between the Red Beds
! (Jura -trias) and the Dakota Sand
stone (Cretaceous)-the Red Beds
/ below and the Dakota Sandstone
above. This carnotite- bearing sand :
stone formation is in different locali-
ties from 200 to 1900 feet in thick
ness-the carnotite usually being
found in the lower greyish- white
strata which contain from to Is
per cent lime. This sandstone is
found in southwestern Idaho. The
sediments of the Occur d'Alenes above
the Pritchard states are not unfavor-
able to its deposition.
Heretofore buyers have refused to
handle ores containing less than 1.5
per cent U3OS.
The carnotite ores shipped from
Colorado and Utah have averaged
about per cent U3OS.
Government Ruins Industry.
Late in 1914 the so-called "radium
bills" We're promoted in congress by
the secretary of the interior These
bills provided for the withdrawal of
all public lands from entry which
contained or were suspected" OF con-
tanning ores of radium, and that they
be leased, and the lessees to be COM
PEELED to sell the ores to the secretary
of the interior at a price to be fixed
by the secretary of the interioc. The
people of Colorado AMI Utah pro-
tested against these bills with such
vehemence that they We're not passed
by congress, Whereupon the secretary
of the interior entered into an arrange
ment or partnership with eastern capt.
talists headed by DR.. Howard A. Kelly
by the terms of which the secretary
was to furnish the services of the &.
5. bureau of mines to construct and
operate for DR.. Kelly ct al, large
radium reduction plant at Denver and
make for said Kelly grams of radium,
when the said plant was to be turned
over to the secretary to make ra-
dunn to sell at cost or give away in
his discretion. OF course private en-
terprise could not compete with such
business and the radium industry in
this country was thereby practically
destroyed. Before this nefarious and
totally unauthorized Lane-Kelly CO.
was formed by the seere-
tary of the interior, the radium indus
try was booming in this country and
U3O8 uranium oXide) was selling at
about $500 to $3.50 per pound, but it
has since been, and is now, unstable
and will doubtless remain unstable
till the Illicit Lane Kelly co-partner-
ship is dissolved.

The Political Outlook.

Mr.. French has recently visited var
ious points in south Idaho and his
view of the political situation should
carry more than ordinary weight, for
he is a veteran campaigner and prob
ably has as wide an acquaintance
among the people of Idaho rs any 9TH
er public man. Wherever he went he
found the progressiVes with few ex-
ceptions in line with the republican
party and both elements prepared to
work tremendously and enthusiastic
ally in support of the republican tick
ct This, Mr. French says, means re-
publican success in Idaho, for Idaho
is a republican state when the party
pulls together, OF his own candidacy
he said it had been most tavorably re-
eeiyed in all parts of the state. He
did not anticipate any opposition to
Addison T. Smith, who would be over
Whelmingly nominated and elected
The contest would be between Robert
M. McCracken, the present congress-
man, Mr.. Elliott of Bonner county and
himself, and Mr. French expressed
great confidence that he would be the
winner.
Speaking of the congressional cleo
ton, Mr.. French stated that while
there might be some doubt about the
republicans regaining control of the
senate, in his judgment they were GER
tain to capture the house by sub
stantial majority.

There are several places where ]

this can be done at any time. / would
suggest, however, that If you are after

favorable smelter contract the mine
will soon pay for these improvements
"You will see that the fault CB")
goes through the ore body and does
not cut off the ore. Good ore in guam
titles is both above and below both

The Silver Gable is situated east of
Mullan, in Montana, just across the
state line The property is developed
by three tunnels and a raise con-
meets the lower and intermediate, and
there are good showings of ore on all
levels. A good wagon road connects
the property with the railroad. At
the annual meeting of the company
held on July the following directors
were elected; all residents Of Mis-
soula: James Corbett, w. l.. Murphy,
II. e. CLANCY, j. w. Kennedy, and
w. G. Murphy. The directors organic

president; w. l. Murphy, vice presi-
dent and Carl c. Mott, secretary and
treasurer.

Hon. Burton [. French Visits ShOShOne
County, Comments of Political Outlook

Hon, Burton L. French, of Moscow,
was in the city Monday and Tuesday
and spent several days visiting vari-
Gus parts of Shoshone county. Mr..
French is no stranger to the people of
this county having visited here ON
numerous occasions during his long
service in the lower house of congress
as the representative of the state of
Idaho. He would no doubt be holding
that position now had he sought re-
election two years ago instead of
senate After two years of private
life Mr.. French has again responded
to the call of public service which as
he takes it is the call of very large
constituency in Idaho He is there
fore a candidate for the republican
nomination for congress, subject to
the result of the primary election to
be held September 3.
Mr., French commented upon the
many improvements that had been
made in Wallace since his last visit,
and the general business prosperity of
the district, all OF which reflected the
flourishing condition of the mining in
dustry He fully appreciated that this
condition exists not through the grace
of a democratic administration, but in
spite of it, and that provision must be
made to maintain prosperous condi-
lions when the peace Of the world is
prevail

SARGEANT MINING COMPANY.
Contract Let to Drive 800 Feet or
Two Mile Property.

Two Mile Property.
| William Wilson, manager of the
Sergeant Mining company, who re-
Gently visited the property of the COM
pany on Two Mile, near Osburn, has
awarded a contract to William and
Henry Stokes, of Osburn, to drift 800
feet. The property on the east side of
Two Mile canyon has long been re-
garded as a property of merit. The
original locator, Charles Sergeant, now
dead stated that he located the ground
upon the advice of Professor Clayton,
the geolOgist who made an early study
Of this district and whose reports have
to a great extent been verified by sub
sequent events. 1t Is known that Pro-
fessor Clayton held favorable opinion
of the Two Mile section in general
and predicted that eventually some of
the great ore bodies of the district
would be found there The Sergeant
property has strong and we'll min
eralized vein, and is described as a
contact lying between quartzite and
slate. Present development has dis
closed little galena and the prospect
of finding an ore shoot by the time
the contract is completed is regarded
as good Mr.. Sergeant, who lives at
the mouth of Two Mile, is the largest
stakeholder, and most of the others
live in Spokane

SILVER CABLE COMPANY

WALLACE ENGINEER MAKES a
FLATTERING REPORT ON

A circular letter issued by the Sill

of July 5 indicates that the company
will soon be making ore shipments.
Samples of ore have been sent to the
Anaconda company to determine whe-
Their or not it can be handled to ad-
vantage by the electrolytic process of
zinc reduction. Returns from these
samples are expected at any time,
when the directors will Immediately

Where Radium Is Found.

Carnotite has so far produced the
most radium and is the chiefly mined
uranium mineral in Colorado and
Utah. It's color is bright canary yell
low. 1t has usually been found In
limy sandstones, sometimes in other
sedimentary rocks, and practically al
ways occurs in pockets punches or
irregular deposits. 1t is found in
chalky, slightly cohering masses, or
in powdery or earthly form, or in
yellowish stain in crevices, or impreg-
mating the sandstone and disseminated
between the sand-grains. A bunch
producing so to 100 tons of shipping
ore is considered very good deposit

SHORTLY.

With most corn now being gone

some corn already laid by, season
able weather from now until fall
will assure one Of the best crops Of
corn ever raised in this section
farmers declare. 1t is said that
acreage i'm this district is slightly
lower than in some former seasons.
1t is explained that owing to the poor
crop of that grain grown last year,
some farmers last spring planted
less corn and more small grain than
they usually do.
Barley, oats and wheat are round
ing into shape. II is thought that if
cool or rainy weather does not inter
fere, barley will be ready for the
binder next week. and ii is thought
that some of that cereal will prob
ably be cut the last of this week
With continued warm weather. it is
predicted that wheat cutting will be
general in about two weeks.
Harvest hands continue to arrive
from the south on almost every

The men generally appear to be a
good type of workmen. Nearly all
have some cash. A few of the men
are being placed on farms through

are not yet in urgent need of men,
some farmers are engaging the tran
sients now in order that they will be
