In addition, ‘the A.E.C. itself issues a booklet Z that gives federal regulations, licenses and per- mits, and rules governing sales, where to repert new finds, where to send ore samples, or to get any kind of information needed, and much other __.. data including full: information ‘about the $10,000 bonus given for new deposits of pitchblende. ; These two books cover the whole subject, so that -with some study and practice in handling the instrument, the prospector is well equipped to get into the field and obtain immediate results. Finally, there’s the point that’s confused many amateurs and should be clearly understood at the ™ fe i 5 Bt AP?, oy : oe har) yf. iy = outset. We must repeat that, of the 120 radioactive sa minerals,.only four have so far any interest for = the A.E.C. These are pitchblende, carnotite, tor- ___beratite, and Tyuyumunite. A license is required Zs “for thorium, but the A.E.C. is not buying any. 35 Query: It: is my belief that primary minerals = are, let us say, manufactured at certain distances 3 radially. I wish you could tell me, as a- check on my theory, at what altitudes and latitudes the primary mineral, uranium, is found in the United States. As you are well aware, there are plenty of low-grade minerals the world over. The ob- _ jective of the machine I have designed is to pro- vide a means of handling those low-grade min- erals economically, without having to invest $500.00 before a cent can be earned.

Briefly, instead of trying to locate rich veins and pockets my machine will mine the low-grade minerals economically. Hit- ting a rich vein or nuggets would. just be that much to the good. 7 John G. Findlater, Baker, Mont. Reply by Victor Shaw: By the nature of your query, I judge your engineering studies did. not include the genesis and formation of ore veins, which all came up by volcanic action in molten solutions of silica and other minerals. When they cooled our ingneous rock formations were formed. These solutions flowed into the frac- tures created to form our ore veins, large or small. You can see_that latitude and lonsatide have nothing to do with any vein formation, including that of uranium ores. However, we've found that pitchblende, the only uranium ore which occurs in-veins, has thus far been chiefly associated with ores of high grade silver, and/or cobalt. Pitchblende is the only primary ore of uranium we know. The other rddioactive ores like carnotite, torbernite and so on, are secondary in type and occur in rock seams, crevices, or mere surface films. Ii your machine’ handles commercial ore successfully at lower cost than our present flota- tion process, why don’t you contact some of your big mining men in Montana to sell it? 8&0 6 a a ae: ~ a e - saat & © i < i ~ BONDAGE STORY DRAWINGS x NEW CARTOON DRAWINGS of Damsels in Distress by popular artists Stanton, a Morey, Jim, Dixon, John Willie, ete.
