RADIUM ORE VEINS
IN SILVER MINES
Denver.—"Colorado lias enough radi
um bearing ore to supply the world,"
says Thomas R. Henaben, state com
missioner of mines, in announcing that
earnotlte haB been found in considera
ble quantities In the silver ores of Eagle
county, In the western part of the
state.
"If you had told me a month ago
that earnotlte and silver could be
found together I probably would have
laughed at you," he said. "But It cer
tainly is mixed with the silver In the
Eagle ores. Of a shipment of twenty
five tons of ore recently made, five
tons were earnotlte.
"The shipment gave eight-tenths of
1 per cent of uranium, from which
radium is extracted. It is probable
that if the earnotlte ore had been ship
ped by itself without mixture, it would
have shown 4 per cent uranium."
The discovery is the first of carno
tite In veins underground. The car
notlte which has been located in Mon
trose and other counties composing
what Is known as the “radium field”
has all been on tbe surface. In Eagle
county the earnotlte is mixed with the
silver ore in the underground veins.
The pitchblende of Gilpin and Clear
Creek counties has hitherto been the
only underground radium bearing ore
found In the state.
A report in regard to the number of
radium claims located In Montrose
county states that ninety-seven have
been located In the county this year
In comparison with 105 in 1913. Up to
Dec. 31, 1913, there bad been in all 196
claims filed in the county.
Where Hie Love Lay.
He was sitting In front of a brightly
burning Ore talking to her. After a
while be said thoughtfully:
“This reminds me of a grate that I
used to sit In front of years ago."
“I can well Imagine how you en
joyed those evenings,” she responded
hopefully, “open fires give one such a
sense of home.” But be went on talk
ing of drafts and beat and ashes and
the hygienic condition of a room ven
tilated by a fireplace.
"I have never known a grate,” he
continued, “like the one In the home of
the girl where I used to go so often.”
A long silence followed, the crackling
of the fire the only sound In the room.
It was broken at last by blm In a voice
that had echoes of a dear memory In
Its tones, “You cannot Imagine how I
loved that—grate!”—New York Post
Abelard and Haloise.
Helolse was noted as much for her
Intellectual ability as for her personal
beauty. She was familiar with the lit
erature of four or five languages—Ital
ian, French, Greek, Latin and Hebrew.
Her knowledge was remarkable; her
conversational powers were brilliant
It was her bright mind and varied
learning that first attracted the atten
tion of Abelard. Abelard died in 1142,
Helolse In 1104. First burled at St
Marcel, Abelard’s remains were shifted
several times, but finally reached the
well known tomb at Pere la Chaise,
wherein also rest the ashes of Helolse.
