Platinum in Colorado.

Platinum in paying quantities has been
found in the Annie @. mine, at Swift
water. small camp at the foot of Buffa-
10 Peak. The discovery is of interest in
that 1t makes the Annie c., the first
mine in Colorado to show platinum in
paying quantities. and the third in the
United States. Traces of this metal have
been discovered in Colorado ores prior
to this, while in Oregon ana Washington
it appeared in appreciable quantity in
two instances. At a depth of 143 feet the
Annie G. managers claim to have IN
covered an eight-foot vein. The ore
taken from it contained platinum, gold,
iron and sulphur, but no copper, lead or
zinc. Analytical tests made on the two
solid feet OF sulphides in the foot wall
are said to have given three ounces of
platinum to every eight ounces of gold.

of it that these things should still be.
The final leave taking is sad enough at
the best; our ancestors managed to sur

and horrors and these we have preserved
az if there were something commercially
filial and pious in our imitativeness.
