WEDNESDAY EVENING. MARCH IS
MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD Fully

MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD Fully
ninety-niue persons in every hundred, II
asked TO name the most precious metals
would mention gold as drst, platinum Dc
second, and silver as third. Let US see how
near to the truth they would be. Gold is
worth about S24O per pound, platinum $50,
and silver about S12. We will now com.
psre these rices with those of the rarer and
less well.known of the metals. Bsrium
sells for 1915 pound, when it is sold at ALL
and calcium is worth 81, 800 pound, Cert
um costs $3.50 an ounce, or S1,920 pound
These begin to look like fabulous prices, but
they do not reach the highest point.
If the wealth OF the Vanderbilts be not
over stated, it amounts to nearly 5000 0OO,-
600. With this sum they could purchase
312 tons of gold and have something left
over, but they couldn't buy two tons OF gal
lium, that rare metal being worth 50 go an
ounce, or S39, 900 pound. With this metal
the highest price is reached, and it may
we'll be called the rarest and most precious
of metals.
Thus we see that the cons monty received
opinion as to what are the most precious
metals is quite erroneous. Barium is more
than four times as valuable as gold, ana
gsllium more than 162 times as costly, Whiie
many of the metals are twice ard thrice bs
valuable.
