MINE OWNED By ]. S. WATKINS
ON PlATINA NOUN
TAIN.
Claim Located In 1893 and Rich Gold
Ore Discovered-GoId Soon De
creased and Now Vein Is Said to
Contain Large Amount Of Value
In Platinum.

w H. Kent of this city had the fol-
lowing in yesterdays Denver News:
J. S. Watkins is the owner of the FL
Dorado mine, Oh Platina mountain. on
the eastern slope of the Medicine Bow
range. forty miles northwest of Lara
mic. He located this claim in 1898
and uncovered a cap lead, with a true
contract. Driving a forty-foot tunnel
and breaking through the cap, which
was two feet thick, he took out ore
that assayed $47s in gold per ton. The
percentage Of gold, however, quickly
began to decrease and that metal to
be replaced by others. the nature of
which chemists and assayers to whom
he applied were for a long time unable
to describe. MI. Watkins began in
vestigations on is own account and his
efforts were ably seconded by his son.
John L. Watkins, assayer and mining
engineer, who received his education in
the Sacred Heart college, Denver, and
took a special course in the Wyoming
State university. That platinum is a
metal but little known to the general
public need scarcely be stated and 1t
appears that even the experts of the
country are none too familiar with it.
A hgulsh German scientist who
visited wyoming was given a piece OF
the ROCK from the FL Dorado, and MIR.
Watkins. who a by this time solved
the proDiem Tor himself, onered TO
snow the visitor a process for extract
ing platinum from the ore. The Ger
man savant declined the prohered de-
m%onstration, saying he had no doubt
that MIR. Watkins was right. but the
question was n Of such interest that
he desired to study 1t out for himself

Mr.. Watkins had equipped a complete
laboratory at his own home and after
years OF labor and research earned the
OF being the first to extract
platinum from ore by chemicals as his
son. Johh l.. watkins, became the first
to extract 1t by fire.
It is 10 six years since the Messrs.
Watkins succeeded in getting platinum
matte from the ore taken from the Ell
Dorado mine and since then a very con-
siderable advance has been made in
the worlds knowledge in regard to the

King paaobert,s Throne.

Much has been written about the anti quity of the throne on which King Ed . ward of England was crowned, but, as French journalists are now taking pains to point out, it is not nearly as old as the throne of King Dagobert, which is still religiously preserved at the National library in Paris. According to the best authorities, this throne dates back to the seventh century, and consequently it is many years older than the throne of Ed ward the Confessor. Moreover, there is popular tradition that 1t was fashioned by saint who possessed much skill in carving and engraving However this may be, the French are very proud ot the ancient relic.
