text: It looks like she visited the US twice, in 1921 and 1929; she appears to have visited multiple cities. An interesting note in a Los Angeles Times article from 1994  that says "Madame Curie herself visited the [Colorado Plateau] region to look at samples." There must be a more detailed record of this... --Limulus (talk) 00:37, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I did an admittedly cursory search, and the closest I could place her to Telluride was that in 1921, she planned to visit the Grand Canyon, which a New York newspaper carelessly misplaced in Colorado: Engineering & Mining Journal, Feb 1921. But I wish you well in your search.  Regards. Plazak (talk) 01:15, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Marie Curie  

message: Yes I do have a reference - I believe a better one than yours [GRYE].  As I requested in my previous comment, please see the article on Placerville, Colorado.  I added to that article some details on the mining there, and cited as my source an article by a U.S. Geological Survey geologist, that the ore at Placerville was originally mined for vanadium, as the uranium mineral carnotite was only a minor constituent of the ore.  The principal ore mineral was roscoelite, which contains vanadium, but no uranium.  The minor uranium content of the Placerville vanadium ore was not recovered until about 1950.  This hardly squares with uranium from Placerville going to Marie Curie.  As for the vague claim that Marie Curie "is said to have visited the area," such a visit would have been covered by newspapers nationwide, so you certainly should be able to come up with a contemporary newspaper source for that one.  Perhaps the reason that this is a "little-known fact" is because it's not true.  If you don't have access to a good geological library, I can scan the cited article and email it to you.Plazak 04:07, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I've added another song called "Telluride" to the article.  It appeared on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's album Partners, Brothers, and Friends in 1985, and its lyrics refer specifically to the gold mining associated with the town.  Willbyr (talk | contribs) 20:07, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Geography section contains information about transportation that should be in the Transportation section, and sure enough it is there also. So the information about the airports and roads should be deleted from the Geography section. BTW there are also repetitions about Glenn Frey and "Smugglers Blues" and Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey. אביהו (talk) 17:05, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
