Extraction and Recovery of Radium, Uranium and Vanadium From Carnotite (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Excerpt from Extraction and Recovery of Radium, Uranium and Vanadium From Carnotite
At about this time newspapers and medical journals were publish ing statements regarding the value of radium in cancer therapy. These reports, although many of them were exaggerated, brought out clearly the remarkable virtue of the gamma rays for the treat ment 'of cancer and other malignant growths. In view of the fact that the largest known supplies of radium ore in the world are in the States of Colorado and Utah and on the public lands Of the United States, it was deemed highly important for the Bureau of Mines to study the production of radium in detail. Such study, it was hoped, would enable the prospector and miner to Obtain a fairer price for the ores and would furnish information necessary in case Congress appropriated funds to develop methods for extracting radium from ore on the public lands under Government supervision, to be supplied at cost to the hospitals of the Army, Navy, and Public Health Service.

Excerpt from Extraction and Recovery of Radium, Uranium and Vanadium From Carnotite
At that time no appropriation for such work was available for this purpose. However, the bureau ascertained that Dr. Howard A. Kelly, of Baltimore, Md, and Dr. James Douglas, of New York City, were deeply interested in the production of radium for use in two hospitals with which they were closely connected. The suggestion was made them that they form a radium institute and endeavor to work up some of the American ores and keep the radium in this country for use among our own people. A member of the bureau went with Dr. Kelly to the Paradox Valley, Colo. And inspected the mines there, it having been agreed that if ore could be procured a radium institute would be founded and necessary funds furnished to work up the ore. As a result Of this visit a conference was held with the officers of the Crucible Steel who, through a subsidiary company, control 16 carnotite claims in Montrose County, Colo., which had been held pending the time when extraction of vanadium and uranium from the ore would be profitable. The company agreed that if the National Radium Institute should be formed these claims would be leased to the institute on a 15 per cent royalty basis under an agreement providing for the return Of the uranium and vanadium content Of the ore to the company. The National Radium Institute was duly incorporated and the claims were leased on the terms mentioned.
