Fire Clay and Clements

Lying south and east of Will jams, commencing even within the city limits, is one of the largest de- posits of fire-clay known in the United States. It extends in a southerly direction for miles, and for over a mile east of town it is fully exposed.
 This clay averages in thickness from nine to fully thirty feet. The Anita Copper Co.'s smelter is built in an excavation of this clay show ing a face of the material twenty six feet in thickness. It is deposited in blanket formation and can be mined cheaply; by the aid of inex- pensive machinery it can be ground into the proper fineness and pressed into bricks that will withstand the most intense heat
 It is said the clays found here are identical with the famous Full ton and Denver fire clays; their composition comprising the funda- mental constituents of the most important varieties - silicates of alumina with a small proportion of mica, lime and iron. There is ab- solutely no reason why an enter prise of this kind cannot be started up in Williams, as there would be a good demand for the product and the venture would soon be a paying proposition
 After some extensive experi- ments MT. W. L. George has found that, in addition to the fire clay proposition, by the addition of a percentage of lime the best Portland cement can be made from certain of these clays; alum can also be ex- tracted in abundance, while tests are being made in the east for aluminium values.
 Let some one start up this new enterprise. They will be successful from a business standpoint and the community will be greatly bene- fitted.

PLATINUM ore is of somewhat un- certain occurrence. This peculiar and very valuable metal is found in the placers of many countries. That platinum does not exist where gold is found is not known to be a fact.

A MINE location must be tied to the government subdivision, or to the corner of a patented claim. The practice of tying to a mountain peak, or by direction, is discounte- nanced by Uncle Sam.

PLATINUM is now worth $19 per ounce while gold is worth S20.67 an ounce. Gold is still in the lead.
