1everal years In far north — inter-

details of conditions at Canada's
only radium mine near Arctic
Carole,
(Milverton 'Sun)
_ l
A caller at The Sun sanctum re:
Gently was Mr, Campbell Barrett
who has been engineer, :it charge as
superintendent during the past .cou-
ple of years at the Eldorado radium
mines at Pot Radium, N.W,T., a
few miles from the Arctic Circle, i
This radium mine, the only one pro -
clueing in the world at the present
time, is on the Great Bear Lake, the
second largest fresh;nvater lake in
',anode, and within 25 miles of the
Arctic Circle. The opening of this
mine was the means of reducing the
.+ce of radium :,enh $75,000 to
$25,000 a grain and thus make it
possible for more hos.'xlt„ls and
clinics to secure a supply for the
treatment of cancer and other dis-
eases,
Mr. Barrett arrived at his home
here on a two mouths, leave of ab-
sence, coming most of the journey
of over four thousand miles by air-
plane which he opines is the deluxe
mode of. travel. The first part of his
journey from the mine to !Port Rad-
ium was made by dog sled; from
Port Radium 1,200 miles south to
Edlnhonton by plane; then by train
.from Edmonton to Winnipeg; plane
from Winnipeg to Detroit and by
train from Detroit to his home at
Peffers.
When he reached Edmonton Mr.
Barrett was .clad In the typical
Arctic garb—a parka, as the con-
ventional clothing -worn in these
parts would be of little use up there
In a brief interview he related
11)100h of interest of the far. North
land where in winter the sub zero
climate freezes ace 011 Great Bear
Lake ten ,feet thick and in the short
summer wild, roses and other flow-
ers abound, flies and mosquitoes ate
a torture. Gagne mach as Cariboo
fox, bear and moose are plentiful
and afford a livelihood, for the lee
dians. Fish are also very plentitut
and
of the 'best qualhty as the water
of Great Bear Lake remains at al-
most freezing even 11, summer --the
er sm
'HEM' lilies, however, be-
-come quite 9t'arml and are ideal for
bathing,
Even though growth is very raphl
during the "summer period" fresh
vegetables are quite scarce and one
settler who planted some radishes
after muchcoaxing was persuaded ,
to dispose of several bunches to Mr.'
Barrett for the stun of $10, Need-
less to say thep were a rare treat
for a few of the boys at heaclqual•t-
ers. Eggs sell at 12e each and other
provisions are also quite expensive, 1
Apparently the frosts of previous
'Res have never yielded to short

Tile mine yields about fivet

cost of radium can be realized be-
cause of the distance the ore has to
be transported by water and reit'

which is produced from the ore. It
takes lour tons -of pitchblende oi'n
to produce one gram of radium,

A fey weeks ago sorrow hit the
tribe and many.miners mourned as
well when Slmm'y Soldat, the chief,
passed to the happy hunting
grounds of his fathers at the mine
company's infirmary where he had
been for a few' days for treatment
by the mice doctor. He bad reech-
o ripe old age, was genial and
friendly and a favorite among the
.miners. He and his wife lost a
family of seven, one by one from T.
Ii„ after which they bought an
Eskimo child, giving as a price a
canvass tent. According to tribal
custom Jimmy's remains together
with his grin and other personal be-
longings were carried. away In a box
far into the woods and securely tied
high to a tree. For some week;
food will be placed at the foot of
the tree for the "Spirits." Little
communication exists Between In-
dians and Eskimo as in the past
they have had many feuds.

Mr, Barrett brought back a num-
ber of interesting pictures which he
took uhile there, some of which
give a splendid idea of the land-
scape, while others are of the town
and lake. -He also has one of the
mid -night sun taken at five minute
intervals and another of the boxing
bout which was put on at the time
of the first known field day of sports
staged so near the Arctic Circle.
A ring he was wearing attracted
our attention—it was made of silver
with a large black -looking sub-
stance for a stone. He informed
us that he prized it very highly be-
cause of the fact that the silver of
which the band was made and the
stone which was a piece of pitch-
blende in nviiich the radium is
found both came from the mine
where he is superintendent, A
.miner 'who works at the plant, wee
must be au expert jeweler, made
the ring for Mr. Barrett by hand
and it is a splendid piece of work-
manship.

at Hemingway's school is a sister

to some here as he has visited at
