GREAT URANIUM FIND
 MADE IN COLORADO

One of the greatest finds of unran- ium ores made in recent years in Col orado was reported from Boulder county few day ago. The ore was found in the hills near Jimtown, where flourspar was being mined. It is claimed that there are mountains of the metal having value in its crude state of $S5 per ton. While the first cry from that country may be taken with some reservation, it is quite probable that there is considerable of the oxides of uranium (the base of ra- dium) to be had there. Colorado and eastern Utah is great field for the metal, which if obtained at moderate cost, would become one of the most important products of these states. One of the things that is rather dis concerting is that so many assays had been made of the material without re- suits, when the test for radium ores is the simplest one of them all. Tests were made for every other metal from lead to pltinum, and though uranium oxide is a common form of ore occur ance no thought was given to it until recently. Quite unnatural. Every man in Colorado and every surround ing state has been looking for a some what higher grade of uranium ores than that at Paradox Valley, and it is really and truly surprising that no one had thought of this as the "black streak" in the flour spar. But it may be true that the real Mccoy is there,

UNITED EASTERN MAKES :
 GOOD SHOWING IN NOV.

The report of the United Eastern mining company to it's shareholders for the month of November has just been issued. It shows that during the month the mill produced bullion to the amount of $175,S33.52 from 6,S73 tons of ore. The net profits were large, which indicates that although the com pany was hampered with loss of man. power owing to the influenza. it was in position to increase production over that of the two prior months.
 During the past ten days the prop erty has been visited by it's consulting engineer and some of the heavy share holders, and it is probable that inn provements are incontemplation that will mean much to the future of the property. Today it is one of the largest producers of gold on the Pa cific coast, but it is in position to in crease this production to greater eA' tent.
 The board of directors have ordered the payment of dividend of five cents per share, with an added two cents per share for holiday dividend payable on the 2Sth of this month tt shareholders of record December H..

FLU BAN l REMOVED

 From business standpoint the big gest loss has been sustained by the picture shows. In Kingman, mana ger Lang closed his house as soon as it was ascertained that an epidemic was on and the same was true of the Oat- man and Chloride houses. These three houses have been closed for the past two months and have sustained large financial loss without possibility of remuneration.
 The pool rooms have also been clos ed during this time and sustained a financial loss.
 It is hoped that it will not be neces. sary to put the ban on again in Mo- have county but this is something that can not be known for certainty. This much is known however that the prob. ability of a recurrence of the disease can be greatly diminished by the peo' pie taking the proper. precautions.
 We are asked by the Board of Health to keep away from those who have colds as much as possible and in case we have A cold to 20 to be( and keep away from other people as much as possible.

NEW WAR MINERALS"
 BEING SEARCHED FOR

The speeding up of the American ln- dustry created new demands for min eral raw materials, and some of the demands were intensified by enforced dependence on domestic resources. The materials which thus assumed greater importance in the industrial world have been called "war min erals" and the field search for new deposits of war minerals, the prompt examination of newly reported de- posits, and the field estimates of the reserves thus made available consti- tuted a large part of the duties of the geologists of the Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. In the effort to meet the urgent demand for essential minerals the gologists vis- tied not only the mining districts of the United States, but also deposits of potash and nitrate and chrome and manganese in Central and South America and the West Indies.

COMMITS SUICIDE
Continued from Page One

Continued from Page One that he was pleasant and agreeable and far from any indication of per son contemplating self-destruction, al though later investigations showed that such was evidently his intention for some days previous to his act.
 A coroner's jury, summoned by Jus tice Smith, viewed the remains and the case, brought in verdict of the case, brought in verdict of "Death by his own hand"
 The wound causing the death was caused by a Colts revolver, 3S cali Der on 45 frame and shooting w. c. F. bottle neck cartridge. The bull let passed entirely through the body puncturing the heart and then passed through double partition wall behind the deceased and lodged against the steel staircase leading to the upper floor of the jail building.
 Letters found among his effects brought to light the fact that he had mother living in Hot Springs, Ark. who was notified by wire by the cor oner and at her request the remains were forwarded Thursday to her fol burial.
 Nothing is known of him here be- yond the facts that he had worked ir number of the different mining camps here, and that he worked al the Yucca Tungsten camp in this county, Tchatticup mine and Nelson in Nevada in addition to his brief so. 1 journ at Oatman.

J. H. PATRICK OF
 WRIGLEY MINE HERE

J. H. Patrick, representative of Will liam Wrigley, principal owner of the Wrigley Sulphide mines, in the Stock ton Hill section, was visitor to the property several days this week. MT. Patrick believes that the property un- der little more development would make good. A large amount of work has been done on the mines and eX- cellent ore has been opened in places. Owing to war conditions the mines were closed down, but it is quite cer- tain that operations will be resumed as soon as peace for certainty has been proclaimed and the war board indicates what will be done in the mat ter of stabilizing the price of metals.
 MT. Patrick departed to Los Angeles a few days ago, where he will spend the winter months. John Lynch is in charge of the property.

CHINO OIL

About a year ago the Miner had reason to call attention to the oil pro- motions in the Chino Valley, of Yav- apai county. At the time there was great activity in and about the east side of the valley and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stocks were disposed of. Some of the most active stock sellers have so far not even rig to show for the money that they secured. Some we'll known min ing engineers staked their reputation on the finding of oil in the valley and time after time one of the companies reported the presence of oil in their we'll. The Miner at the time was as- sured that the first we'll drilled in the field had a depth of more than 1900 feet and was in granite. The project ors claimed to have lost the we'll by caving and moved the rig abou. twelve feet and spudded in another hole, But that ended the life of this com pany. Later the companies were got ten together, or rather they were sup posed to have pooled issues and the Home Oil company was to drill test well. Just how far this test we'll was carried is unknown, but finis appears to have ben written on the effort to bring forth oil from Chino Valley. as the property of the Home company has been attached and the creditors are getting together to ascertain just how much they may be able to recover from the wreckage.
 Chino Valley has possibilities, but not in the production of oil. It really ought to be farmed, as it has the soil and situation for the growing of all kinds of small grains, and without ir- rigation. You cannot stampede peo- pie onto dry farms, but it is possible that few trial farms may induce ex- pert farmers to go in there, if assured of market for their produce.

OIL FROM SAND REEFS

The urgent appeal of the govern ment for greater production of pet roleum to meet the demands of war has stimulated activity in all oil fields of the country, says o. J. Grimes in the January Popular Mechanics Magi- zine. But probably in no other dis trict have such unusual methods been employed to gain production as in the Uintah basin, which is situated partly in Utah and partly in Colorado. Here oil production was sought by driving tunnels instead of wells, and this re- zion can now boast of two oil mines.
 The West is especially fortunate in the matter of oil sands. Besides sev- eral big deposits in the Uintah basin, probably the largest deposit of satu- rated oil sands on the continent, if not in the world, which has been brought to the surface by nature, has been dis covered in the San Rafael country, in Southeastern Utah. The great oil sand reefs are exposed there for many miles, but very little has been done to develop this resource because of it's is- olation from the outside world. The region where the sands are situated is approximately 125 miles from a rail road, but the roads now in use, and is reached only by crossing a desert However, interest in the proposition has been aroused recently; new high ways are being constructed, water wells put down along the highways and plans are being formulated for ac- tive development of the oil-sand de- posits.

FALLS NOT NAMELESS

A dispatch from Albuquerque states that the beautiful falls of the Little Colorado river between Winslow and Flagstaff, on the Navajo reservation are nameless. The fact is that the Little Colorado river does not run near Flagstaff and that the falls to which attention is called are not nameless. The falls have been known as Leroux falls for nearly 70 years. The coun- try through which the river runs is really beautiful in places, although near Leroux Island the river is closed in by mud banks. At the falls the rock formation is of the same color as the cliffs of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, being brilliant alterations of red, yellow and brown with green fol- iage. The precipice over which the water falls is 300 feet in height.

CLOSES MINING DEAL

Dick Wick Hall, we'll known news paper man and miner, has closed a deal for his mining property in the Wenden (Yuma County) country and expects to begin active development within a short time. MT. Hall has been boosting the. northern Yuma county mines for years and it is to be hoped that he will emass fortune from his many ventures there. There is considerable development on the group of properties in the new deal and considerable valuable ore has been brought to sight.

GOES TO ST. LOUIS

George w. Mark, general manager of the Missouri -Mohave Mines com- pany, departed to his home in St. Louis, last Sunday, where he will spend Christmas holidays. MT. Mark will also look after important matters in connection with his mining proposi- tions in this county and expects after the first of the year to have matters so arranged to increase work of devel- opment on the mines. The property of this company shows excellent ore in all tn openings and with greater depth and lateral development the mines should soon be in shape for pro- duction.

FIRE LOSSES ARE
MUCH LESS IN 1918

Within few days the annual re-
port of Bruce It. Bullion, state fire
marshal and insurance commissioner,
will be completed, and it is expected
to prove a most interesting document.
In the first year of the office the fire
losses have decreased from so per
cent of the premiums paid, to SO per
cent
Fire Marshal Bullion does not claim
credit for this decrease in losses, but
he does think that his department,
with the special men running down all
suspicious fires, is entitled to por-
ton of it. He is at least proud of the
record his department has made
While there have been no convictions,
there have been a number of mistrials,
and the defendants have been forced
to result to postponements in most
of the cases.

PULASKI HEIGHTS FRIDAY
Y.M.C.A. TO ASK FOR
HUNDRED MILLION
j. 3. DICKINSON BACK FROM MA
TlONAL CONFERENCE WHERE
1T WAS DECIDED TO TAKE
OVER MORE WAR WORK.

j. B. Dickinson of the Cooper-DieS-
inson Grocer Company has returned
from New York, where he attended
last week the national war board
meeting of the Y. M. C. A
"The Y. M. C. A. will ask the people
of the United States for $1O0,000,000
in the week of October 21-28," re-
ports Mr.. Dickinson, and l expect 20
see as ready a response to this cause
as was made to the Red Cross.
1.-THE Y. M. c. A. has been asked To-
take over the war work in France and
Italy-al1 of it-and this is going to
require a great outlay of money in a
very short time This will require the
erection of about 400 huts in France
and 300 in Italy.
During the present drive the Eng
lish lost 81 huts and did not have
was on the scene and told the people
to go ahead with the reconstruction
work and the Y. M. C. A. would sup
ply the funds. This shows what the
organization is doing on foreign SOIL
and we all know what 1t is doing in
the home camps.
Several thousand men are wanted
for work abroad right now, but wo-
men are to be more utilized than at
first The Y. M C. A. wants 1000 of
them right now for eanteen service.
The expense is less with women in
this capacity than men, and the result
is better. The women do the work
more efficiently than the men and the
Y. NJ. C. A. is going to take advan-
tage of their services on large scale
in the future.
Women have better effect on
the men. When they speak there is
attention, and when a woman sings
the whole camp turns out. The wo-
man can do more in comforting a
home-sick boy than man, and she
can give the camp the home touch
that is so essential to keep up the
morale of the fighting force.
1.-The machinery for the drive will
soon be set up so that when the time
comes, the people will respond with
will"

AUTOMOBILE MEN
WITH GOVERNMENT
FORM STATE ASSOCIATION AND
PLEDGE THEMSELVES TO PRAc-
TlcE ECONOMY TO HELP OUT
IN THE STEEL SITUATION.

Within short time the state of
Arkansas will be on a cash basis 50
far as automobile service and supplies
are concerned, for automobile dealers
from all sections of Arkansas have
agreed to abide by the ruling the War
Service Committee of the automobile
Industry. The request that nothing be
sold except for cash, was received By
the automobile dealers who met in
Little Rock Monday to form an or
ganization to cooperate in their war
programs, and all accepted the recon-
mendation. The visiting automobile
dealers departed for their homes with
the intention of putting the rules in
to effect. as they have been in Little
Rock for some time.
1t is pointed out by the War Service
Committee that the cash basis will
prevent the purchase of many parts,
and mechanics will thus be liberated
for other war work. The discontinue
ance of Sunday service will also light
en- the work on the mechanics and
will take the passenger car more our
of the pleasure class than ever, and
this the automobile dealers are most
anxious to do.
The Arkansas association has sent
to Washington its intention to assist
the government win the war even
should it put the automobile dealer
out of business.
Fully 100 dealers were represented
in the Monday meeting in Little Rock.
All joined the association and went
away with the plans to bring in the
other dealers of their sections so that
the Arkansas membership will reach
100 per cent.
The officers of the association are:
c. E. Faulhaber Little Rock, presi-
dent; w P Conacher, Fort Smith; F.
G. Smart, Pine Bluff; Ben Anthony,
Texarkana; Sidney Mutt, Hot
Springs; J. L. Crenshaw, Jonesboro;
vice presidents; A. w. Parke, Little
Rock, secretary; F. L. Oilar, Little
Rock, treasurer.

FROM A MILITARY CAMP.

Camp Beauregard, La, June IL, 1918.
To the Editor of Pulaskian:
Dear Sir: AS my home is in Pulas-
XII county and l like very much to
read your paper, just thought while
wasn't very busy / would write a
few words. / don't suppose what
write will be of much interest to any
one, but it will be a pleasure to me
to write to my home paper.
My father is a subscriber to your
paper and the folks at home think it
is a great paper because it gives the
home news.
Now, l guess you want to know
like it just fine, but had rather be
back at Camp Pike, where could go
see my father and mother and "the
girl l left behind, although | have a
very nice time down here at Camp
Beauregard. There is almost any kin.i
of amusement here that a soldier
would care for, and there is the good
old Y. M. G. A. where we do most of
our writing. | must say that the Y
M. G. A is the greatest thing we have,
for you are always welcome to any Y.
M. C. A. building, and the men are al
ways ready to help you in anything
that they can to make it pleasant for
the soldiers.
Well, have just come back from
home. l spent 10 days at home on q
furIough and sure had nice time.
All the people around home seemed
to be glad to see me, but wern't half
so glad to see me as / was them

GOVERNMENT REPORTS SHOW
THAT WISE MEN WILL NOT
SHlVVER THIS WINTER BE.
CAUSE HE WILL BUY HIS
COAL NOW.

complete investigation of the de-
mands of the county for both antnra-
cite and bituminous coal show that
the requirements will not be fully met
during the current coal year
The estimates completed by the
Fuel Administration show that the re-
quirements for bituminous coal for the
year viii reach 34,593,0OO tons: ana
that of the total prospective produc-
ton of anthracite of about $4,000. 900
gross tons, only 54,345, 1888 gross tons
of domestic sizes will be available for
distribution to consumers.
The production of bituminous coal.
1t is estimated, will fall considerably
short of the country's requirements.
To reach the enormous total fixed as
covering the necessities of the coun-
try, would require an average weekly
production throughout the year in ex-
cess of 100000 tons. The largest
weekly production so far attained was
for the week of May 25, when the out
put is recorded as 11,S11 900 tons. To
reach an output of 634,495, 900 tons
will necessitate an increased produc-
ton over 1917 of 1885, 600 net tons.
So much of this increased demand
as cannot be met by production will
have to be overcome by stringent
measures of conservation and limita-
lions in the use of coal
While the Fuel Administration looks
for material increase of production
over last year, in the bituminous
fields, no inducements are held out by
anthracite producers to anticipate any
increased yield The estimates of the
Fuel Administration are based on a
yield of anthracite equal to that of last
year. In the anthracite fields difficult
ties are presented in the way of labor
shortage that have not developed so
far in the bituminous mines
investigation shows that whereas
176, 552 workers were employed in the
anthracite mines during 1915, only
about $4,000 have been employed
there this spring. This reduction IN
the working force is accounted for by
enlistments in the army and the with
drawal of men from the mines to take
employment in other industries. But,
Notwithstanding the lessening of the
working forces, the anthracite mines
are keeping their production beyond
that of normal years.
