More than S9,AC0,00M a pound would be the price asked for radium were that quantity of th valuable metal available and for sal at on time. Late In 1915 there waa aold in this country on and one-tenth grams of radium (element) at th rat of tlM.oOT a gram, according t a report issued to day by th United State Geological sur vey. Tha entire output of the United Statea'last year, however, waa only six grams, or about one-seventy-alxth of a pound avoirdupois. The European war caused a great slump In the production of radium, as In lull there were 1X3 grams produced. "Th United States haa tha largest known radium-bearing deposits In the world," says the geological survey, ''but th market for radium la mostly In Eu rope, for, although Americans like to feel that they are sufficiently progressive to take hold of and use to the full new dis coveries, Inventions and procesaes, yet tha European municipalities and hospitals have been buying and utilizing moat of th radium produced. When the wsr be gan, therefore, causing European money to flow Into other channel), the demand for radium fell, off so greatly that there was practically no market for radium or uranium ores in the early, part of 1515, and very little market during any part of th year." A a result of th collapse of the radium market, mining of ratfluin-bcarlng ores except for such work as was necessary to hold claims, waa nearly stopped. Through th efforts of the expert of th I'nlted States bureau of mines a process haa bean developed by which radium haa boon produced at a cost of 137,69a a gram. The principal fields of th radlum-beailng ores ar in Colorado and Utah. BANDITS WHO KIDNAPED GIRLS ARE DEFEATED FX PASO, Tex..
