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

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

examined the deposits and pronounced
them very valuable. was

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?

The ballads go back to early Eng-

Generations have not only preserved,

carelessly and giving advice on how
they should be stored.
