RADIUM INVISIBLE EVEN
 HINDER MICROSCOPE.

Radium is found in nature in quan- titles SO exceedingly small that it is never visible, even when the material is examined with a microscope, ac- cording to the United States Geologi- cal Survey. Radium ore ordinarily carries only small fraction of a grain of radium to the ton, and radium will never be found in large masses because it is formed by the slow decay of uranium and itself decays and changes to other elements so rapidly that it does not accumulate naturally in visible masses. ii 'g
 Sometime ago a London chap told the world that he was the inventor of a method by which the world would be relieved of the necessity of digging coal; that by the use of radiun whole towns would be heated and lighted. He told of the wonderful heat atoms given off by an infinitesimal amount of the stuff and that this element 'radiated light to such an extent that it would supplant sunlight and, possi- bly,, even moonshine. ,..-..

MAN WHO POUNDED
 WOLFHOLE VISITS HERE

D. M. Parker was in Kingman this weel, from Wolf Hole, Mohave county, Arizona, postoffice in what is known as our northern strip. While here MT. Parker made final proof on a grazing homestead of $40 acres. This land lies in the valley and some of his acreage is covered by the lake during high water.
 The Wolf Hole country is one of the most picturesque of the north part of Arizona, the scenery being mag pificent. In Wolf Hole valley the country is rolling and rich in natural grasses, this feature attracting many ranchers and cattle men into that To- cality. With our north and south road in commission it would be ac- cessable from Arizona points as well as from Utah and the whole territory would fill up with desirable class of people.

ORIGIN OF 'PNTRIFIED
 FOREST"

The "Petrified Forest. of Arizona, really a series of petrified forests, lies short distance south of Adamana, on the line of the Santa Fe Railway. There are four forests" included in a Government reservation called "Pet- rified Forest National Monument" created by Presidential proclamation in 1906. The name forest" is not strictly appropriate, for the petrified tree trunks are all prostrate and are broken into sections. The logs are the remains of giant trees that grew in Triassic time, the age of reptiles, according to the United States Geo. logical Survey, Department of the h. terior. The trees were of several kinds, but most of them were related to the Norfolk Island pine, now used for indoor decoration. Doubtless they grew in aSnear-by region and, after falling, drifted down a watercourse and lodged in some eddy or sand bank. Later they were buried by sand and clay, finally to a depth of several thousand feet. Their conversion to stone was effected by gradual replace ment of the woody material by silica in the form called chalcedony, deposit ed by underground water. A small amount of iron oxides deposited at the same time has given the brilliant and beautiful brown, yellow and red tintss

But that placed on the lands of the arid belt, much goes off in evapora- ton and great deal of it sinks into the sheltering soil, leaving only a small part of it to--retun to it's source. The Colorado river is suffi- ciently potential to irrigate 6,000,000 ;tcres of land and may be depended upon to develop more than ,5,000,000 horsepower of electricity. The power generated is estimated to have value that would repay every dollar of the original investment in the dams with in 20 years, without considering the value of the water. --.,S one project to be-on the dry and arid lands of the southwest, where contented peo" Boulder Canyon-is the one poten- tial site on the Coloaado river. It was its enormous possibilities that brought on the present rumpus about the waters of the river and it. is simply to get the matter out of the hands of the government that action is being taken. In the hands of commission or the hands of private owners the site on the Colorado river would be worth into the millions of dollars, be- cause it would forever and forever flow onward into the canals for distri- button over the thirsty acres of the farmers and bring, into being more and more cultivated acres, more and more enterprises, with the towns and villages adding their mite in dollars and cents to the vast wealth of those who secured the enterprise from the people. Let us hope that the govern" ment builds the dam and sees that it is distributed as the Lord intended it pie may luxuriate in green pastures.

WORLD'OPTIMISM ..
 ON SILVER PRICES

Optimism on the world silver situ- ation was pronounced during the week. Cobalt producers inspired a press statement to the effect that ''be- fore long the white metal will be up to S1 an ounce." The inferance was that they referred to foreign" origin silver. Continued shipments to India and gold moverAents indirectly from Russia are a much larger conttSbut, ing influence. "
 While India has received but $1,- 8O0,OO0, silver, from this country since the first of the year it's imports through London are exceptionally large and probably average soO,ooo ounces weekly or at the rate of 4l,- 6O0,0O0 ounces yearly. Russia recent ly announced that it would return to a silver currency basis and it is pre- stunned that some of it's gold, which is coming into the American markets in large volume, represents' re-pur- chases of silver. j,.s. 2.,.-....,.-s s

DAILY PAPER CUTS
 DOWN TO A'WEEKLY
(From Chandler Arizonan)

Due to business conditions and in line with other newspApers in Mari copa county, The Chandler Arizonan Will change back to a weekly news paper, starting next week.
 In order, to make the weekly pub- llcation of more value to the adver- tlsers, it has been decided to advance the publication day from Friday to Thursday. This means that the pe6- pie on the rural routes and in nearby towns will get the paper Friday in stead of Saturday, and that mer- chants can advertise, bargains for Saturday, if they so desire. 4t#.
 As soon as business conditions. war rant the Arizonan will be changed back to a semi-weekly. No change in subscription credits will be made until that time, in order to determine how many months credit each subscriber will have. This will be on the old basis of $2.00 for each yearly sub scription.
 In the last year there has been a material reduction in the number of newspapers in Maricopa county. The first to pass away was the Sun at Gilbert; then followed the Southside Union at Mesa; then new paper at Wickenburg quietly quit; next was the new paper at Phoenix, The News, which suspended temporarily, accord ing to a statement by it's editor, Craig Pottinger. The Tribune at Mesa de- serted the daily field to become a semi-weekly and The News at Glen dale went from the ranks of semi weekly back to weekly.
 Small town newspapers have hard enough time when conditions are good to pay expenses. Many business men in these towns live and die in the be- lief that advertising does not pay; many more do not see the use of sup porting the local paper even with their job work and send it to the city on the exploded theory that a printer. far off is better than one closer at home. And when times are dull their excuses are much more plentiful. ,e
 In the future all notices of affairs where admission is charged will be inserted as advertisements at the us- ual cost. This does not apply to mo- tices of meetings where the public is invited free ..-,. a ,
 The>Arizonan will be glad to get back into the semi-weekly or often CT publication just as soon as the: citizens are ready to aid it in the progress and development of the community. ''s.s...

Fares to Resorts Reduced.

A Chicago dispatch says that at a
meeting of general passenger agents
of the interested roads here, it was
agreed to reduce passenger fares from
Chicago to the north Wisconsin re-
sorts 30 per cent. The reduction for
summer rates first agreed upon was 10
per cent, but yesterdays conference
voted that further cut would be nee
essary this year to induce travel. The
new rates will be for fifteen-day tick
cts. To illustrate the cut: The re-
duetion first agreed to established a
round trip rate of S21.24, Chicago TO
Eagle River, Wis, and the new fare
will be $1,000, which will be on bas-
is of % cents a mile. Recently the
roads operating from Chicago to

FIRST BASEBALL GAME
GOES TO BESSEMER
The GOgebic County Seat Ball Tossers
Nose Out Victory in Game Full
of Loose Playing.

Hurley lost to Bessemer in the
opening game of the season, played
last Sunday. Score. to 7.
As was to be expected the initial
contest was not up to the standard
that may be expected later in the
season. With many recruits in the
lineup on both sides coupled with
the fact that practice had been in.
dulged in but very little costly
errors and corner-lot exhibitions
featured the contest. However,
most of the loose playing occurred
on the Bessemer side and twelve
errors were marked to the discredit
OF the BesSemerites. Hurley made
but two miscues, one of which was
responsible for a run.
Schwab was on the mound for
Hurley. He struck his stride in
the fifth inning and from them on
pitched air-tight ball, holding the
enemy hitless after the fourth
frame. Bessemer's four hits were
gathered in the first four innings.
Hoeft heaved for Bessemer during
the first FIVE innings, being relieved
in the sixth by Rinto. Hoeft was
nicked for IS hits and Rinto for
two.
Hurley staged batting bee in
the second frame which many
thought would bring them victory.
Four safe ones were clouted out,
netting four runs with the assist
ance of bungles on Bessemer' s part.
The score stood 4 to 1, but in their
half of the second Bessemer gather
ed i'll three more and kndtted the
score.
Hurley made it five by adding
another in the fourth frame and in
the fifth brought their score up to
seven with two more. Bessemer's
two runs in the third together
with two more in the fourth gave
them a margin of one run.

Why has the development of

goes ahead and answers the ques-
ton.
"A recent advertising folder sent
out by the Great Northern railroad
contained this statement.

that it is practically impossible for

In the same Great Northern

Farming in Minnesota means
