SCARCITY OF PLATINUM.
Production Has Decreased and the
Price Has Risen.
From Public Opinion

TuDiU Optuioh'
The history Of. Platinum, which was dis
covered about the middle of the eighteenth
century, dfffeIS from that of other rare
metals in that the Increased demand has
not been meti by Repeated discoveries of
new deposits. Hence the price of platinum
has risen en1mor0ly. In 1922 platinum
was worth 81 900 pound; in 1870. 500. this
slight decrease being due to the discovery
of the UraI deposits in 1922. In 1895 the
price per pound had risen to 200, and In
December Of -last-year to 800. Plati-
mum was first found in South America and
regarded as a variety of silver. Hence
the name, from the Spanish plata, silver.
1t occurs as platinum dust In Colombia,
Brazil, Haiti and also in Borneo but the
uraf region Is the chief source Of supply.
The annual output Of the Urat mines Is
about 5000 pounds, while the rest of the
world furnishes only about 1900 pounds.
The mining Of platinum has, therefore,
been developed almost entirely in Russia,
and suspicion has arisen that the out
put is restricted purposely. In order to en-
nance the price, but this supposition seems
to be without foundation. The Russian
government, indeed. Is said to be contem-
plating the recall Of coins minted before
1850, which contain platinum, for the pur-
pose of retaining the metal. Most Of
these coins, however, disappeared from
circulation long ago, having been melted
by chemists and technicians in search of
platinum. If no new source Is discovered
the scarcity of platinum will soon be felt
seriously In many industries.

Gathering Curios.

&c. Leonard, who is now at the
Commercial Hotel, is making a col
lection of relics of early days, which
he is sending to the Ann Arbor uni
versity, of Michigan. He recently
secured, in Churchill county, the
skull of a white girl and Piute In.
dian, which when found were lying
about sixty yards apart. The skull
of white man, supposed to be the
husband of the woman, was also
found lying between the two, but it
crumbled to pieces on being handled.
Across the breast of the woman lay
the remains of an old flint-lock rifle,
and in the remains was also found
an old daguerreotype of a beautiful
woman, supposedly the dead girl,
but mayhap sister or friend. Mr..
Leonard is also looking tor some of
the relics of the Fremont pa rty which
came through here in 1874 He is
also looking for petrifications of all
kinds, gathering statistics, etc.,
which will eventually be compiled
and placed in historic form.
