Use Planes to Take Prospec- tors Into Field. Calgary.—A radium “rush”—and by alrplane, too—Is on In northern Canada. It is something new In mining adven- ture. The old-time gold “rush” has passed Into history for the time being, at least, Discovery of $10,000,000 worth of radium has produced a nov- elty In mine prospecting. But there Is a gold “rush” also on on in British Columbia, hundreds of men going out into the gold districts. It has been predicted that 10,000 will £0 out from Vancouver alone. Two hundred grams of the precious radium—quoted now at £30,000 a gram —are already In prospect at Great Bear lake, judging from ealculations made during preliminary surveys, ac- cordimg to Dr. A. E. Cameron, pro- fessor of mining at University of Al- berta. This is one-third of that al ready produced in the whole world. Syndleating operations have corraled all the territory in which the pitch- blende Is supposed to lle—as they have the known goldfields—so that a “rush” of prospectors generally would not net them anything. However, there has been just as much picturesque activity among a smaller number of persons in the Far North to obtain the precious ore, There is a possibility, in view of the extreme importance of radiom to the world, that the government may take over the deposits. But just now the chief problem is how to get it out— there being no rallway and the trail being too long and hard for carriage otherwise than by airplane. And the capacity of airplanes to earry heavy ores is very limited. The deposits are at La Bine Point, Great Bear lake. Hugh A. Spence, mineral technologist of the Dominion department of mines at Ottawa, has examined the deposits and pronounced them very valuable. was made in the spring of 1030 by Gilbert La Bine and considerable work has been done In opening.

Far be it from me to say anything derogatory to the second marriage, 1 have known scores of most successful ones. Often a man seems by his first experience to have learned wisdom and 80 makes a batter the than much selection second time the first, An acquaintance of mine, who seems to have formed the habit of marriage, did better and better as time went on, and when he led his fourth partner fo the altar, showed a really discrimi. eating Judgment, and seems In this last relation even happier than in any of the others, It is not the marriage itself which concerns me, for that is a matter which every widow or widower must personally decide; it is the conditions and sometimes the embarrassments which arise among those who are ehronleally getting married which give me subject for thought. What attitude should one take to those who have departed this life, and who have gone on to other worlds? Nancy was visiting the Coltons not long ago, and was admiring a plece of brica-brac which stood on the mantel. She had forgotten that Mrs. Colton was not a first edition, and thoughtlessly exclaimed: “Where did you get this beautiful little statue?” “1 don't Just know,” the latest Mrs, meet the cost of shipment to rall, which Is $400 a ton, Improved trans- portation facilities, however, will have to be provided If serious production is to be obtained. A small gasoline boat drawing a ten-ton scow 1s the best avallable method of transportation Across Great Bear lake (and via the Great Bear river) to Norman, on the Mackenzie river waterway, and ore has to be handled several times. Rall. head Is at Waterways, Alberta, An estimate of radium in prospect, which was based on calculations by Spence, takes it for granted that 2,000 tons of pitchblend are obtainable, this running 50 per cent uranium oxide, which gives 130 milligrams of radium to a ton, In the vicinity of Fort Norman dis- covery wells, considerable attraction exists for exploration, The area Is a large one over which districts are seat- tered In which structure closures and petroliferous -strata may reasonably be expected, Planes making frequent trips have taken In prospectors to stake ground, and the two commercial plane services have reported themselves able to han- dle only a small part of the traffic offered to them, Ground south and east of La Bine Point has already been staked for miles. The more recent staking has been principally In the hope of finding silver. The silver occurs as leaves and films throughout the massive piteh- blende, also as a strong vein up to 380 Inches wide of carbonates and wire silver In contact with the pitchblende (silver constituting 40 to 50 per cent of the vein matter) and as leaves and films on Joints and cracks Ina 10 to 15- foot sheared band on the footwall side of the vein.

O,.—Ballads, native cus toms, culture and folklore of the great Smoky mountains may form the basis upon which a great “Passion Play,” patterned somewhat after that of Oberammergau, will be built. The Idea, conceived by Prof. L G. Greer of the Appalachian State Teachers’ eollege here, {8 as yet only an Idea, but its enthusiastic recep- tion leads the professor to hope that he may see it executed fully within the next decade. Coming of modern days to the mountains, with good roads, accred- ited schools and radios, has brought fear that the old ballads handed down for generations by mountaineers might be lost. Mountain youth is singing Jazz Instead of the songs its father sang. The ballads go back to early Eng- lish times, no one knows how far. Generations have not only preserved, but have embellished and lengthened them. The greater part of them are sorrowful, rythmie, mournful echoes of the sternness of the mountain- eer's life, as It was that of medieval peoples, Bingers taking tives, Greer said, cannot Interpret the simple songs. It Is explained that ballads differ from folk songs in that they are im- personal and record the experiences of others, while the folk song records the joys of tribulations of the singer. Greer's be na- volces part would for tralned Professor visions a sort of amphitheater In & mountain setting where these ballads would not only be sung, but stories would be t 1 National park service officials have expressed favor for Greer's idea of creating a passion play of the moun- tains, and have promised support.
