Doubtful Reports.

Referring to some recent reports of
more than doubtful character the Min
ing and Scientific Press says:
1t has lately been reported that plati-
mum had been discovered in Northern Ar
izona. near Cataract canyon. While this
may be a fact, there Is some doubt about
it, and the statement may be taken with
more than the usual allowance. The for
nation about that portion OF Arizona con-
slsts chiefly of limestones, shales and
sandstones. and thus far platinum has
never been found in a similar formation

faith attaches to reports of such dlscoV-
cries of precious or rare metals in the
unaltered carboniferous and Jura-trias of
that plateau. Another recent discovery
announced from that region IS to the eff
feet that a bed of sandstone 900 feet in
thickness was found to be gold-bearins.
and that owing to the coarseness of the
gold it was found difficult to arrive at
its correct average value per ton. II is
almost needless to say that nothing of
the kind exists there

that they will begin new work on the
present falling market.

The zinc mine boom is just now meet
ing with serious setback. The high
est prices for ores were reached after
the close of the fiscal year covered by
the report under consideration; but this
was followed by a heavy fall which APP
pears to be ended. At the present time
top grade ore. running over 6S per cent
zinc, is selling about $50 a ton, while
ordinary grades do not average $25
Taking the whole zinc ore region, and
making necessary allowances for ores
of low grade and those containing iron
pyrites, the average receipts are not
over $50 ton. They have practically
fallen back to the level of 1S97-9S. It
is true that miners managed to get
along and at least make a living at
these prices: but there has been an
important change. Properties have
been sold at high values and capital
lied at much higher ones and stock
holders have been led to expect divi-
dends. How companies capitalized on
the basis of s45 ore can be made to
pay on 500 or $25 quotations is ques-
ton: especially when leases are thrown
up, as will probably be done by many
if low prices continue. There are, how
ever, indications of an upward move
ment in prices.

MISSOURI ZINC AND LEAD.
The Boom in Zinc Receives Setback.
Production.

From the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal.
Advance figures from the report of
the Missouri state bureau of mines
for which we are indebted to the cour-
tesy of the bureau-give some very in
teresting particulars of the output of
zinc and lead ores in the state for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1899. The
second half of the year under consid-
Grafton was the period during which
rising prices of ores directed general
attention to the Missouri mines and
there was an influx of prospectors,
miners and buyers Of property into the
region where zinc ores are chiefly pro-
duced, in the southwestern part of the
state. The lead district in the south
eastern section attracted much less
attention. though work was steadily
carried on.
The production figures of the bureau
are as follows, the lead output, of
course, including the southeastern
mines as well as those IN the Joplin re-
gion. These figures are in short
tons:

The remarkable increase in the num-
ber of mines worked in the Joplin dis
trict almost entirely. As soon as prices
of ores began to rise in 1898, work in
the district began to extend. New open
ings were made. old ones reopened and
there was general rush for leases.
The purchasing period did not begin
until about the opening of 1899, when
the formation of new companies to buy
and hold large tracts of property began
in the East. For the time this did not
affect the methods of working nor the
number of leases, as the new owners
did not make changes in this respect
as rule, Some of them announced
their intention of exploiting the de-
posits on a large scale, but they have
not done so as yet; nor it is probab Bile

Minerals in the Philippines.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
That there is great interest being taken
in the mineral resources of the Philip
pines is evident, but those who have in
consideration Il trip to the South Seas
for the purpose of investigating in THAI
direction should remember that knowl-
edge Of the resources of the interior of
those islands is of the most limited klnu.
The war has been carried on along and
near the coast where there are no mines,
and the interior is a terra incognita as
yet. The rugged mountainous country in
which the mineral deposits would b"
found. If any of value exist, is the home
of savage tribes, and it will be unsafe
for small parties to venture into that
wilderness for a long time to come.
When the war now in progress in the
Philippines is at an end invc stigataas
will probably be made by Americans
now there, many of whom are from the
mining regions of the United States. If
reports at such a time are Of a favorable
character it will then be time enough 10
