PLATINUM ORES ARE
SCARCE IN UNITED STATES

The entire output of crude platinum
in the United States is recovered from
placer mines in Oregon and California
which also produce gold.
In 1910, according TO Waldemnr
Lindgren. Of the United States Geo.
logical Survey, these mines produced
800 troy ounces OF platinum, valued
at s0j07, against 673 troy ounces in
1909, valued nj si2,s03. This de.
crease in value obviously does not
represent the actual decrease, rs the
average price paid in 1910 was s2i.3s
nm ounce, compared with $40 an ounce
in 1909.
CALIFORNIA; production in 1910
amounted TO 33s troy ounces of crude
platinum. valued at ss3sG. OF this
total 30i ounces was recovered as n
byproduct in dredging operations in
Butte, Yuba, and Sacramento counties.
In Oregon the principal reported out
put comes from beach sands near Port
Oxford and near Billiards. The guam.
tity recovered in 1910 was only 80
troy ounces, valued at siI2I.
II is calculated that the domestic
output Of the crude metal from plac
ers in 1910 Is equivalent to 273 fine
ounces Of refined platinum.
The United States Mint obtains an.
nually from it's refinery operations n
considerable quantity of platinum, the
largest part Of which is derived from
scrap platinum and from sweepings,
etc, bought from jewellers and den.
lists. A small percentage Of primary
metal is, however, obtained in refining
gold bullion received at the mint
from placer and lode mines. Private
refineries also separate platinum from
gold bullion, The best estimate that
can be made ms to- what Of this output
is derived from domestic sources, says
Mr.. Lindgren, would probably be
about 500 fine ounces, which added
to tho refined platinum equivalent Of
the crude metal from domestic placers
would give 773 ounces as the probable
output of refined platinum from do.
nestle ores in 1910.
Largo Importations.
A considerable quantity of refined
platinum, estimated to be 1900 ounces,
valued at sl50,96o, is produced from
imported crude platinum, the largest
part OF which comes from Colombia
and Russia. The total output Of re.
fined platinum in the United States,
OF both domestic and foreign origin,
was about 1913 fine ounces, valued at
sls2, 237.
During the last few years a large
demand for platinum has developed
in the jewelers. trade, especially for
mounting precious stones but also for
chains and other articles This de.
mand accounts to a great extent for
the phenomenal rise in the price Of
the metal when the scarcity of the
supply and the failure to discover new
sources Of production are considered.
Platinum Is also in strong demand for
many industrial and chemical purposes.
Mr.. Lindgrens report, which forms
an advance chapter from "Mineral
Resources" for 1910 and which also
describes the production and uses OF
iridium, osmium, palladium, rhodiunl,
and ruthenium, may be obtained on

Once more Greek. Smyrna became the
most beautiful city OF Asia. and with
the impulse given its commercial activity
from the .act that Il WAS the seaport
for the rich Hermus valley. and at the
same time the terminus of the great
transasian road, which bore the trade of
Phrygia and Galatia. as wei as Lydia,
to all the world, Smyrna became so well
established that she has continued one of
the great cities Of Asia until the present
day.
Many interesting historic events and
human-interest stories are linked with
the name of Smyrna. Near 10 its wa Is
flowed the River Me'es. beside whose
waters Homer is said to have composed
his immortal songs. Here the lovers of
the bard built temple to mis- memo, V.

outside the city to the east was the

who under the. name of Meter Sypilene
was the tutelar goddess.
Another interesting fact concernins the
religious thcug II of Smyrna lies in the
curious statement of Alexander the
Great. who claimed the Nemeses had or
dered him to rebuild The place Nemesis
was the goddess OF Tetributive justice,
and was represented as having a measur-

and yoke, which represented proportion
and control; in the other hand she held
the sword and scourge of punishment
while wings. wheel and chariot denoted
the swiftness of retributive justice. But

and worshiped Nemesis as single god.
