...approximately $50,000,000 a pound. This has been reduced in the last two years to $70 a milligram by the exploitation of much richer ore veins in the Belgian Congo. The Turkestan samples of pitchblende (the main source of radium) run almost twice as high in radium content as the Congo ores, and will make possible its distribution in America at $35 to $40 a milligram.
