(Py United Press Leased Wire.)
SALEM, Ore, May S.-The great
est strike In mining history, if the
assays are correct, was made few
months ago near the town of Mer-
lin, in Josephine county, Oregon.
At the time not much attention was
paid to the find, for instead of be-
ing gold. the values were in tin and
platinum, metals practically un-
known in the United States, and
the ores unfamiliar to most min
ing men.
In fact the discoverers of the
mine were looking for gold. and it
was only when II. +. Bailey, min
ing man of Chicago, visited the
mine that its real value was discov-
cred. He told the miners the ore
contained platinum and tin, and ad-
vised them to have it assayed for
those metals. The results were
astonishing. Assays running as
high as SO ounces of platinum and
So per cent tin were obtained.
