Johnson carefully folded up the bill
and handed the letter back to the

After going through the handful Of
money which he had drawn from his
pocket the stranger announced that he
did not have change enough by IS cents.
He then pulled the letter out of his
pocket and handed it back to Johnson

Seaboard Air Line railways at Rich

PLATINUM AND PALLADIUM.
Big Values in Both Found With Cop.
per in Wyoming Mine.

Laramie. Wyo.. March 23-The min
l:G men of this section are greatly eX-
cited rs the result of the announce
ment of Professor Wilbur G. Knight of
the State University. who says that Gre
in the New Rambler copper mine is
worth about $500 per ton in platinum
and palladium.
Professor Knight has had analysis of
the ore made by three of the leading
mineralOgists in the United States, and
one report has already been received
This analysis shows the ore carries
from ten to twelve ounces of plat
mum and palladium, both rare and pre-
cious metals in great demand and
worth approximately so an ounce. The
ore in the New Rambler runs from
eighteen to twenty-five per cent. cop
per.
In connection with the discovery Pro
fessor Knight made the following state
ment tonight:
This makes the New Rambler ore
of unusual value. and it seems highly
probable that the mine will be worked
for precious metals. with the copper as
Il by-product.'
The ore runs from 500 to S4OO per
ton in copper. platinum and palladium.
and exists in an almost unlimited sup
ply in the New Rambler. The deposit
is not in the shape of a vein. but huge
pocket. the boundaries of which cannot
be determined. for the reason that the
same quality of ore has been found in
other mines and prospects distant from
the Rambler several miles. The entire
country in the vicinity of the New
Rambler seems to be underlaid VITA
this rich ore. and lmdreamed of for
tunes undoubtedly await the miner
