 It may be of interest to our read CTS to know that the radium on the faces of the much-advertised lumi nous Ingersoll watches is obtained from this same Paradox Valley dis triet where MT. Davis mined radium for the National Radium Institute. A company that studied the Bureaus methods of mining and concentration have taken up claims in the vicinity and are now operating. having a contract to provide sufficient radium for 5000 900 luminous-faced watches A very tiny amount of radum is used about fifteen cents worth but when properly combined with zinc oxide this becomes highly lumi- nous, making a splendid night watch. A similar process has been used by the Bureau of Mines for several years in making danger signs, or fire-escape directions, for use in mines, with notable results.
 Anyone interested in this subject will be welcomed at the Bureau of Mines Experiment Station on Cush- man Street, where MT. Davis will show you some especially fine speci- mems of carnotite ore which he has brought from the Colorado fields, and where detailed bulletins on this work of the Bureau may be studied.

YOUNG GOING
 ID OUTSIDE

William Young, of Youngs ranch, is leaving for the Outside and Cali fornia, where his family now is. He is the oldest pioneer farmer nj the Panama valley, having located here in 1903
 The Young farm is a 275-acre ranch, of which 70 acres are under cultiva- ton and 12 acres in red top hay for stock The dairy of the ranch has 10 fine cows, and MT Young has four of the best driving horses in the country The dairy is a fine feature of the farm; the way it is kept up is commendable, and the fact that the place is always open to public inspection is proof of the cleanliness and orderliness of the place.
 Now that MT. Young is retiring from his agricultural activities, he has leased the place to Mad Johan- son and Ed Gooch, who will have charge from this time on. MT. Young goes to the Outside well-to-do in a financial way, and states that everything he owns was the direct returns of his ranch He has been engaged in no other enterprise but farming in the north, and considers it as profitable as any other line of work, if not more profitable.

 YET RECORDED
Associated PreSS)


 NEW YORK, Nov 7-The com plete returns from the New York mayoralty election give Judge Hylan, the Democratic nominee, 14S,000 ma jority over Mayor Mitchell, the flu sionist candidate for reelection. This is the largest plurality ever given any mayoralty candidate in the his tory of New York elections.
 Hylan received 297,OOO; Mitchell, 149,OOO; Hillquit, 142,O00, and Ben nett 53,OOO votes. Without a single exception, the entire Democratic ticket was elected
 The surprising feature of the cleo tion was the unexpected strength of Hillquit, the socialist candidate. He ran Mitchell a very close race and completely outdistanced his Re publican opponent, receiving almost 100000 votes more than the latter His vote was 10000 more than that which was received four years ago by Charles Edward Russell. at that time a candidate for the same office, who received only 32,000 votes.
