Show URANIUM IN DEMAND war necessities have created a greater demand for the production of uranium ores from which to a very large extent the rare metal radium is produced this demand should stimulate uranium production and this renewed activity in this line of industry should have a beneficial effect upon the mining operations of utah and colorado as it is in these states in the west that uranium ores have chiefly been found in this connection much interest attaches to the statement made by mr don maquire at ogden utah that large deposits of uranium bearing ores have been found in the wilds of idaho county idaho the ore being of high grade and characteristic of the best uranium found in utah and colorado if this new field develops into anything like what its surface appearance would indicate this is likely to prove to be the greatest source of uranium production in the united states and further news regarding its real merit and possibilities will be eagerly awaited by those interested in the yield of rare and precious r metals in this connection it might be well to state that a process has been evolved whereby the cost of the extraction of radium salts from uranium ores has been greatly reduced and this fact alone will and should urL eIl enco coul age uranium production in the west t F as greater and better market will doubt doubtless lel s I 1 be assured |
