MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD
Gallium Sells For $3.50 an ounce-Othei
High Priced Metals.

Haillum Soils For S%,@6O an Ounce-Othei
High Priced Metals.
THE majority of people when asked
to name the most precious metals usu-
ally mention gold as first, platinum as
second and silver as third" said the
proprietor of large assay and refin-
ing establishment in New York. at
asked to name others some might add
nickel and few aluminium to the list,
Now, let us see how near the truth they
would be. Gold is worth about $3.50
per pound troy, platinum $3.50 and silver
about $12. Nickel is worth about GO
cents and pure aluminium from so cents
to 81 to the troy pound.
I'VE will now compare these prices
with those of the rarer and less well
known metals. To take them in al
phabetical order, barium, the metal
which Davy isolated from it's ore,
baryta, in 1903, sells for $3.50 a pound
when it sold at ell, and calcium is
wort 81 800 a pound. Cirium is a shade
higher; it's cost is $3.50 an ounce, or
$500 per pound. These begin to look
like fabulous prices. but they do not
reach the highest point, chromium be-
Ing 5000. Cobalt falls to about half
the price of silver. while didymium, the
metal isolated by Masander, is the same
price as calcium. Then comes gallium,
which is worth $3.50 an ounce. With
this metal the highest price is reached,
and it may well be called the rarest and
most precious metals.
"Glucium is worth $3.50 per ounce,
indium $50, iridium sG5S a pound, jan
thanium S175 and 'ithium $3.50 per ounce.
Nidium costs SIPS per ounce, osmium,
palladium, platinum, potassium and
rhodium bring, res pectively. S640, $500,
$50, S32 and SIP per pound. Strontium
costs $12S an ounce, tantaum $144, tilu-
rum 50, thorium $272, vanadium 1920,
yttorum S144 and zinconium $3.50 an
ounce.
Thus we see that the commonly re-
ceived opinion as to what are the most
precious metals is quite erroneous. Bar
ium is more than four times as vau-
able as gold, and gallium more than
1862 times as costly, while many of the
other metals ment oned are twice and
thrice as valuable. Aluminium. which
cost IS and 50 a pound in 1890, is now
produced as cheapy as are iron, zinc
lead and copper
