PLATINUM RAPIDLY
DlsPLAclN0 GOLD.

Gold as a mounting for precious
stones is high-class jewelry has al
most disappeared. In the Fifth ave-
nue. shops one can look over hund-
reds of thousands of dollars worth
OF ornaments without seeing anything
but platinum mountings.
This has resulted in a tremendous
ly increased demand for that metal,
which naturally would have put the
price up, especially as the supply is
limited. But to make matters worse
from the point OF view Of the buyer
the automobile makers cornered the
platinum market because they need
it and need it badly in their business.
Platinum is an essential metal in
the making of the magnetic, and the
demand from auto makers coming si-
multaneorsly with the rage for plat
mum mountings in jewelry is sending
the price up by almost daily increas-
es. 1t now costs dealers twice as
much as gold. Whereas the latte:
metal can be bought around rs cents
penny-weight, platinum costs SLIPS
to $1.50. But platinum mounted
jewelry is even more expensive rela-
lively because it is much more diff
ficult to work.
| Gold, of course, being quite soft, is
always allUyed with some other met
al before being Used as mounting
for precious stones. Platinum seems
as hard as steel in comparison. 1t is
not alloyed but is used pure, which
helps to account for the difference in
price In the case of lorgnettes, for
instance, these which are not set
with stones show how gold has yield
ed first place, and by large margin
too. In them the entire cost is in
the mstal mountings, and the plati
nun ones cost at least three times
as much as the gold ones.
But while the turn of fashion
doubtless has much to do with tbs
vogue of the former, there is more
than mere caprice to recommend it
Platinum is more durable because o.
its hardness. 1t never furnishes; il

in selling to tourists. And it is the
ideal setting for stones, especially
for diamonds as the color harmonizes
better than the yellow CT gold does
and also has the happy faculty Of
making a gem set in it look larger

Everything is platinum now, and
it seems to have a great future ahead

the fact that gold has been used for

CHECKS STOLEN.

Price Wickiiffe, proprietor of the Tempe furniture store is at present short six checks amounting in all to just four hundred and fifty seven dol lars. The checks were taken sometime Friday between the hours of eleven a. m. and two D. m. from his desk in his place of business on Mill avenue. Who the guilty party is, no one has been able to trace out yet. Three of the checks are drawn on the Farmers and Mer- chants Bank and three on the Tempe National Bank, both of this place and all six of them are made payable to MT Wickliffe. None of them were endOrs- ed in any way such that person might legitimately cash them, hence the loser does not feel very much wor- ried over their loss. This mention may save somebody a loss though, if they should happen to be accosted by the
 bearer, to be cashed. Any one having seen any of the aforementioned checks or know anything of their whereabouts would confer a favor upon MT. Wick life by notifying him of the same.

GROWERS OF COTTON
 WILL PURCHASE GINS
Local Men Will Form Company and Own Machinery for Handling
 the Crop of 1912.

It is now definitely settled that the Mesa cotton growers will own their own machinery for handling the crop for the present season. A committee recently appointed to investigate the merits of various cotton gins, report ed faVOrably as to the Platt and two of those machines are to be pur- chased. The Universal Fiber company was anxious to place one of their ex- pensive machines, provided a com pany could be formed to take hold of the proposition and allow the manu- facturerS to hold twO-fifths of the stock and receive tWo-fifths of the profits. The Universal is an $500 or $900 affair, while the Platt can be had at about $250. A meeting will be held at the Wilbur Realty com- panyS place tomorrow to make ar engagements to secure the machines.
 The growers expect to have at least 100 bales of cotton to market this season; but this is only a start CT, for if the profits are what they have every reason to expect there will be several hundred bales gltwn next season. So far the prospects are very good; cotton seems to thrive in this valley equal to that grown in any of the noted cotton belts of the world.
