orado, showing the rough nature of the
carnotite fields
be necessary to remove from twenty to
thirty tons of rock. to get one ton of mill
ore. Also 1t is easy to miss body of ore
in drilling. Consequently much capital
is required, and that is the reason why
most Of the holdings in the district are
drifting into the hands of one or two
large concerns.
Dust-Proof Machinery
To Stop Leakage
In prospecting for carnotite ore, q
good idea of the radium content can be
obtained by use of Photographic plates.
BY putting the ore in contact with q
plate, outside the slide holder, and leav-
ing it there several hours, fog will be
discernible on the plate in proportion to
the radium content Of the ore.
Scientific instruments have been de-
veloped for ascertaining the radium con-
tent more accurately, but the photo
graphic record proves practical when
the other is not available.
Wonders have been accomplished in
treating the ore for reduction purposes.
1t was found that much of the radium
content was escaping in dust in the
course of reducing the ore. Dust-proof
machinery was devised and now such
leakage is stopped.
The aim of the prospector, Of course,
is to find q deposit containing the ulti-
mate of radium content A claim which
yields much high grade ore is equivalent
to fortune. The other day, in Mont
rose, the county seat of Montrose
County, in! which the richest carnotite
claims are found, carload of high
grade ore brought $40, 900 after spirited
bidding by spectators. It was figured
that the individual who bought the car
of ore would have considerable margin
Of profit when his purchase was mar
keted.
Big Industries Profit
From Uranium
The uranium content Of the carnotite
ore is valuable. Uranium is used in the
manufacture of high grade dyes and also
in steel making. It's possibilities, ac-
cording to experts, are just being un-
derstood. Rich vanadium mines are
found in southwestern Colorado and
tungsten has been discovered there in
considerable quantities. In fact, the
rare metal resources of the state have
been only slightly developed. Metals are
now being found and mined with profit
which meant absolutely nothing to the
prospectors and miners of early days.
who were attracted to the West by the
lure of the gold and silver fields alone.
Now one meets prospectors in the field
who have made a study of rare metals
and who talk in terms that would have
been Greek to the old-time gold hunter.
The Paradox valley itself was devel-
oped solely as fruit country. For
years it was advertised as one of the
best fruit valleys in the Far West. It's
sheltered location in the mountains
seemed to make it immune to early and
late frosts, and apples, in particular,
were successfully raised. But the
orchardists who came to Paradox VAL
ley to specialize in apples were among
the first on the ground when the car

THEY IMPERSONATE
 PUTNAM POLICE
Want To Search Pomfret Mans Premises For Liquor
 At Night
Look Place Over But Get Nothing
 For Their Trouble

Impersonation of enforcement off cers goes steadily on in this section. Suspicion that there is booze conceal ed in any place is more of a magnet than a pot of gold to certain class of crooks.
 The latest "hold up" of this type was staged in Pomfret recently when man, answering a rap at his door, found a stranger who told the house. holder that he was a government rep resentative and that he had number of Putnam policemen with him and that he was going to make a search of the premises for booze.
 While the conversation was taking place other men went through the out buildings and barn but found nothing. It is believed that they did not search the place that they were instructed to or that they had received wrong "tip." .tise5ssrt
 After the men departed the Put nam police station was called and in- formed of the occurrence. No Put nam policemen had been in Ponrfret or had any intentions of going. It was scheme to collect some liquor if it could be found.
 This is the last of a series of sim liar occurrences in this part of the county that have been more or less successful

WOOD CHOPPERS FIGHT
Boarding House In Phoenixville the
 Scene of Lively Scrimmage

"Jakey" and hard cider were re- sponsible for row at the boarding house conducted by Mrs. Mary Spar row at Phoenixville, in which two woodchoppers, in the. employ of Eng land Brothers of that place, partici- pated shortly after midnight Sunday morning. The men were Henry Hall, and Robert Miller Hall received beating and Miller was arrested and locked up at the Willimantic police station. Miller was taken to East ford by the officer and given hear ing before Justice of the Peace Elisha Trowbridge. He was charged with vicious assault.
 From what the deputy sheriff said about the affair Sunday, both men boarded at the Sparrow house. Mil Ter was in Willimantic Saturday night and returned to Phoenixville about midnight intoxicated. He started to abuse the inmates and when Hall at tempted to eject him he turned on Hall and assaulted him. The, contents of the room are said to have been wrecked during the fight.

WILL ENFORCE LAW
 TO PROTECT GIRLS
Children Under Is Not Allowed At Dances Unaccom-
 panied
Complaints That Young Men Watch
 For Girls At Public Places

The post-Lenten season will open Monday. With the opening will be- gin a series of public dances. Several are already advertised and more will be, until the hot weather puts an end to indoor dancing.
 Receiving numerous complaints re- garding the actions of young men and still younger girls after these public dances close at a late hour, Captain Bulger has announced that he is going to see that the law regarding the at- tendance of young girls under 16 years, unaccomranied by a guardian, is enforced. There is state statue prohibiting boys under 14 and girls under 16 attending certain places of amusement unless accompanied by parent or guardian, and dance halls come within the ban, Little attention has been paid to the law by those who have conducted dances in the past. Now they will be informed that they must see that the law is enforced.
 The chief offenders, who have brought about determination to en- force this statute, are not the young girls, but young men IS to 20 years old who, after these dances are over, seek to entice these mere children to remain out until the early morning hours. It would hardly seem that par ents would allow daughters who have not reached the age of IS to go to public dance unaccompanied, but, with or without permission, it is found that they do get there and are allowed admittance. To protect these girls from these young men who seek to prey upon them, and to protect them from themselves, a campaign to put an end to their further attend ance at public dances is to begin with the opening of the social season, ac- cording to Captain Bulger.

 The new scoutmaster has taken hold of the troop when its affairs were at the ebb, and from the enthusiasm evidenced Tuesday night, Mir. Penny has really started something" He professes himself to be very interest ed in the scout movement and plans are being formulated to have the local scouts render services to the towns people, which will be deserving of the best support the people of Putnam should give to the only organization in the city which trains and gives good times to the young men. The scout committee, which is composed of Err nest Morse, chairman; Eric Johnson, Allie W. Marcy, Charles Richardson, John G. Johnson and Samuel Rich, is expected to do considerably more than it has done in the past, as the support of prominent citizens and men interested in the work is very es- sential.
 MT. Penny is to select two assistant scoutmasters who will share the re- sponsibility and work with him.
 Several applications for member ship sere received and voted on at the meeting. Dues were paid and the new scoutmaster "hashed it all out with the fellows. There are, at pres ent, five patrols of eight scouts each, although there are some vacancies yet to be filed Any boy, 12 years of age, is eligible, and if he wishes to join should notify Scribe Ted Brousseau at once. Dues are ten cents month and boy receives all the advantages which the greatest organization for bows in the world offers, nearly free of charge.
