HUNTING PLATINUM
IN THE OREGON MINES
Geological Survey Maps of Section
Published.

The Port Oxford Geologic Folio Issued
yesterday by the Geological Survey con-
tains an interesting description of the
economic geology of that portion of the
Oregon coast by }. 5. DiIler. The Port
Oxford quadrangle is situated about for
" miles north of the California bound
airy, and within its limits are found
gold and platinum. The aforementioned
is perhaps the most sought after to-
day
Mr. Diller says in regard to prospect
ing for this precious metal: SO little is
known OF the distribution Of platinum
in placer mines that no definite indiea-
ton is furnished as to its source. When
it has been traced to It's source. how
ever, it has been found in sepentine.
"Prospectors should carefully search
for platinum, following the streams
which cut masses of sepentine 4 par
ticularly large mass of seDentine occurs
along the Illinois River, and platinum
should be looked for along that stream.
Coal has been rather extensively
prospected in the Eckley region and
some rich coal found. though not in large
quantities Gold has been mined II the
quadrangle principally by placer mines
Quartz mines have been worked, though
without any great success. The veins
are not large and rather broken up

only FIVE times, says Minister Powell,
have these bones been exposed TO the
public. and he ayers that they and not
those recently exhumed at Havana are
the real remains Of the Cenoese navi-
gator
This fact is established in the opin-
ion OF the American representative at
Santo Domingo because there is in the
tomb a leaden ball said TO have been
once embedded in one OF Columbus legs,
and which was never extracted. SoEe-
where in history, reciting the story CT
the life of Columbus. it is stated that
he received a wound In the leg from

Wardman, who has undertaken this enter
prise, has also planned for erecting twenty
four structures of similar character at 1lth
and K streets northeast, and he expects
that in a short time the active work CT
building will be begun. The management
of these two large enterprises will occupy
Mr.. Wardman's attention during the COM
ing year. and it will be impossible for him
to take the time for a trip to Europe, as
has been stated doubtless in joking way,
that he had planned to do.
Condition of the Market.
The condition of the real estate market
shows a wider range at present than has
been the case for some time. and while the
volume of business is affected, as is usually
the case, by the holiday season, outside of
that indications are encouraging. Several
large resident properties have been sold,
while the demand for the smaller class OF
property shows that there are people with
money tc invest vho are watching for an
opportunity TO make a good purchase.
Until the fashion becomes more general
than has ever been the case of giving
houses and lots for Christmas presents, the
buying at this season of the year will con-
tinue to be diverted from the realty mar
ket. There is no indication that Christmas
presents of this class are coming into favor
although 1t must be conceded that such a
policy would be wise one.
Proposed New Building.
Recently a large piece of unimproved land
on the east side of 14th street between M
street and Rhode Island avenue. having
frontage of some sixty-seven feet and an
average depth of one hundred and twenty
feet, was sold for 81 per square foot. 1t is
the purpose of the purchaser, who is
Baltimore man, to put up on this site
building which can be utilized for business
purposes on the lower floor and as an apart
ment house on the upper floors. The Eale
was made through Early & Hampton, real
estate brokers.
