lite.
The conclusions of practical value
arrived at by Professor Kemp are:
l. That platinum is very sparsely dis
tributed in the mother rock, so that
the chances of finding it in quantity
sufficient to mine are small, also if
found, the problem of recovering the
platinum other than by stamping and
washing is yet to be solved; further
more, the metal may be in very
finely disseminated state, and it's ex-
traction will necessarily be difficult
2. Large and permanent placers
should be sought only on very old
land areas, WHICH have been subjected
to protracted degradation and concen-
tration. 8. In the assay of antimonial,
arsenieal, and other copper ores (es-
peciatly- tetrahedrite) it is advisable
to search for small percentages Of
platinum. 4. Deposits of chromite
should be tested for the presence of

new INTEREST IN PLATINUM

Ever since the discovery in Decent
Der, 1901, of the platinum group of
metals in the copper ores of the Ram
bier mine, Wyoming interest in that
scarce and valuable metal seems to
have been greatly STIMULATED One
indication of it has been the increased
demand for. Bulletin, No. 1893 of the
United States Geological Survey,
which Is report by Prof. James A.
Kemp on the Geological Relations and
Distribution. of Platinum and associa-
ted metals. The original issue having
been exha listed, the survey has order
ed reprint of the bulletin
1t is unfortunate that the worlds
known supply Of platinum is So limiz
ted: The uses of the metal would By
greatly Increased if it could be OBJ
tanned in sufficiently large quantities
to lower the price. There is, unhappi~
ly, for many purposes, no metal to
take it's place. and the limited Supply
maintains it's price almost equal IF
that Of gold. The demand for it has
been somewhat Increased in the last
few years by the discovery Of a use
for osmium, which occurs to a consid
cradle extent in American platinum
as the mineral osmiridium. It's press
ence formerly interfered very serious
~ with the sale Of the crude platinum
product as it is heavy, hard, re-
fractory mineral that made the treat
ment Of the platinum very difficult.
Osmium is now required for the manu-
facture Of the flaments Of the new
Auer incandescent electric lights, so
that platinum, both on its own &C
count, and on that Of its heretofore
despised attendant, osmir!dium has
become wholly desirable. r.

Fort Lyon Canal.
once a yeai

At q meeting OF the STOCKHOLDERS OF
the Fort Lyon Canal company last June,
the writer offered a resolution, which
was unanimously adopted, directing the
board OF directors to take steps to locate
a reservoir site on Adobe creek, and to
appropriate $1,000 for the preliminary
work, and also directing the board to
see IL arrangements could be made to
borrow the money to do the work.
it and succeeded in finding location
where, at comparatively small expense,
a reservoir can be built that will hold
30, 600 acre feet, or sufficient to cover
each of the 10000 acres now farmed
under the canal, to a depth OF two and
one-fourth feet. In addition to this
work Mr.. Preston also ran lines to con-
meet this and the Horse creek reservoir
by flood water canal with the river.
He had not completed this work when
he left the company's service, but had
progressed far enough to approximate
the cost OF the whole thing at about
$500, 900, or tax Of $3.50 per acre on
the 40, 600 acres now farmed. This plan,
II carried out, will unquestionably fur
nish every farmer under the canal with
all the water that can be used, and l
think I am conservative in saying that
the increase in yield in any one year
will be equal to the entire cost of this
reservoir system. 1t is difficult to esti-
mate the advantages which it will be to
the farmers and to this community. 1t
will double the value OF the land, double
the population, and the building OF
sugar factories, canneries and other in
dustrial plants will be the natural
sequence.
In this matter there should be no
further delay in acting. Ina short time
there will be no flood water left unap-
propriated in the river and it will be a
waste OF money to then make the i'm
provements. The question now is how
to best secure the money for the work.
We can either go down in our pockets
for the $3.50 per acre, or Individually
borrow that sum, and have the work
w
the better plan is to issue long time
bonds that can be paid gradually with
out being burdensome.
But to the last proposition there is a
serious question in regard to the ability
OF the Fort Lyon corporation to issue
the mortgage, the validity OF which
cannot be questioned. From what
have learned concerning the matter
am convinced that the only way valid
mortgage can be executed will be for
each person who desired title by virtue
OF the decree OF the district court, since
confirmed by the supreme court, entered
in 1895 in the case Of Hess vs. The New
La Junta 8, Lamar Canal company, to
execute individually mortgage Of hi,
title in the canal. Tho money cannot
be borrowed for this work unless the

difficulty can be overcome | believe, II
properly managed, the scheme can be
put through. 1t will, however, be no
easy task, for at the present time irri-
CATION propositions are not a popular
form Of investment in the east, and it
will require united and harmonious
action on our part. The matter is up
to the farmers who own the canal to say
whether or not they are willing to
furnish the security.

The above letter is published not
because we endorse its sentiments,
but for the reason that all parties
connected with the Fort Lyon Canal
are entitled to fair hearing at this
time. The stockholders have just
passed through siege of heavy as
sessment fot the purpose Of building
one reservoir and are hardly in con
dition to stand such heavy assess
ment as $3.50 per acre. Many of
them are still heavily mortgsged
and we believe are not in humor
to add this additional burden. The
King reservoir has q capacity suffi-
cient to relieve the demands on the
canal in cases of shortage of water
IN the river, and can be developed
for about 10 per cent of the estimst-
ed amount required for this new res
ervoir. The title to it is clear now
and the sensible thing for the stock
holders seems to be to develop it,
and allow the lower division of the
canal to get water there when the
