NEW SOURCE OF RADIUM.
English Engineer Says There Is One
In Portugal.
That the recent discovery of rich ore
deposits in Portugal will make possible
for the first lime the manufacture or
radium In quantities suitldently large
for commercial use is the assertion of
Harry March, a young English civil
engineer, who has come to this coun
try In the hope of interesting Ameri
can scientists and American capital in
the Portuguese mines. lie has brought
with him a boxful of ore, specimens of
which have been examined by miner
alogists here and abroad, who declare
that the mineral contains large qunutl
ties of crystalline uraultc. or what is
technically known as autunite, the sub
stance from which radium is ex
tracted.
Professor James F. Kemp, head of
the department of geology at Colum
bia, and other members of the stalT
have seen some of the specimens.
According to one analyst, Allen F.
Waldcn of the chemical department of
Oxford university, who subjected the !
mineral to the usual scientific tests for
radium. If is estimated that the ore |
contains nearly ~3) milligrams of ra- j
ilium to the ton. a new record. The
ore itself lie found to be made up of
quartz thickly crusted with yellow
crystals. These crystals when exam
ined proved to contain uranium, cal- |
cium and phosphoric acid, and there
was no trace of other metallic or acid
impurities.
l'l> to the time of the discovery of
the Portuguese deposits the chief ore |
from which radium was extracted was
pitchblende, considerable quantities of
which are found in Bohemia and in [
Cornwall, England. The amount of ra
dium producing material in this sub- i
stance, according to Mr. March, Is i
about ti per cent, whereas the ore ob- ;
tallied from Portugal has been tested
and found to contain 33 per cent of
oxide of uranium. E. 1$. Barboni, a
French chemist, after subjecting the
new mineral to careful tests, declared
that by reason of the ease with which
it could be. treated It was In his opln- |
ion "at least three times superior as
raw material to pitchblende." , i
