PLATINUM OF JOSEPHINE
Valuable Metal Found in South
ern Oregon

The extraction of platinum from the
black sand deposits OF the old chan
nels in the Southern Oregon mineral
zone, bids fair to become an industry
Of some importance in that district
A number Of hydraulic miners are
already mining platinum in c"nnec-
tion with the gold-getting and are
realizing a considerable additional
profit by so doing. For 40 years past,
or practically since the time of the
first discovery Of gold in Oregon, il
has been known there was another
mineral in the placer beds Of southern
Oregon old channels besides gold a
very few miners knew this other
metal was platinum but the great
majority did not. None knew how
to save it, 50 all threw it from their
sluices. The platinum occurs with
the black sand of the gravel beds and
is found in great quantity in those
channels which have a bedrock Of SER
pentine. The black sand and the
platinum. being almost identical and
seemingly inseparable, presented a
problem the pioneers could not solve
In their greed for gold they had but
little inclination to solve it, as a
matter of fact.
But in late years platinum has be
come rare and necessarily very
valuable mineral Eastern manufact-
uring companies whose line of business
has demanded platinum, have been
aroused to the realization that the
demand comes near being geater than
the supply. They realize something
must be- done to stimulate an inter
est among mining men for mining
where the metal is to be found. The
Southern Oregon placer fields is one
Of these \ Philadelphia mining com
pany that uses much platinum, may
truthfully be credited with being
the first to enlist an enthusiasm for
platinum mining in Southern Oregon
This company sent men into the dis
trict with apparatus. They worked
quietly in one of the Waldo placer
mines for several months and at last
announced they had found method
whereby the platinum of the Southern
Oregon placer deposits could be saved.
They furnished plans without cost to
all mines who desired and would take
them, for the installation of platinum
sluices. The method of extraction
is one that can be followed without
interfering with the mining of the
gold. 1t consists simply in a system
of undercurrent sluices connected with
the sluice-boXes and which draw off
the black sand and spread 1t over a
wide and broad rifle table. Here it
settles and is scooped up. The
system can be understood when it is
known that the black sand will keep
ahoat, just like coffee grounds in a
cup, if the water is kept stirred
The water carrying it is kept stirred
till the broad rifle table at the end of
the sluice-boxes is reached Here it
is given an opportunity to settle and
can later be scooped up and shipped
in to the company who look after its
refining themselves
This black sand has much the APP
pearance of coarse gun powder. To
the layman it is worthless looking
stuff Placed under glass it
shows up better. 1t is then that its
metallic luster can be recognized A
few nuggets the size Of birds eggs
have been found here, though they
are rare, for platinum nuggets are
scarce in any district. The Mining

ably in the same capacity which he

audience was only little more
numerous than at the former political

Congressman Williamson was intro
duced and made brief speech He
talks straight to the point and is very
effective. His theme was mainly the
prosperity Of the country and he de.
tailed proofs which he had seen with
his own eyes If he had left ont
the grossly profane story and sequent
appeal, with which he marred his
speech, he would have left better
impression with his audience.
Binger Hermann was then intro
duced by Chairman Hampton as "the
real thing that is causing all this
trouble. Mr.. Hermann spoke fluent
ly and pleasantly, rapidly covering
all the points involved, protesting
his entire concord with the admins
tration, delivering glowing tribute
to President Roosevelt, defending
himself against the various charges
brought against him by his opponents
in regard TO his land Office work and
making a strong party appeal.
