IRON HILL PROMISES VALUABLE DEPOSITS.
PLATINUM AND GOLD SAID TO BE DISCOVERED.
MACHINERY WILL SHORTLY BE INSTALLED

A good deal of interest has been
awakened in local circles by the alleged
discovery of platinum and gold in the
old iron pits, near Iron Hill, whose pur-
chase about year ago by Philadelphia
parties was reported in the WHIG Plat
mum and gold are two of the most val
liable of the precious metals. That they
are to be found in the Iron pits" is the
statement of Mr.. W. NJ. Scott, who has
had wide experience in mining and
who has ben conducting tests of ore
from the pits since their purchase a
year ago. Mr.. Scott says he has purpose.
ly withheld making any announcement
OF his discovery until he was positive
that the precious metals were present
in paying quantities
This has now been proven, he said,
beyond a doubt. He is an assayer and
his tests of the ore have been checked
up by other assayers to be doubly posi-
tive, before recommending a larger out
lay of money for machinery, which will
now be done. The platinum and gold
have, of course, always been in the hill
but there was never any suspicion of it's
presence until those now interested
started their tests. 1t had been work
ed on several occasions, but only for iron
ore which is there in large quantities.
Mr.. Scott does not contend that he has
found a bonanza or a hidden mine that
Is going to bring a fortune to its owners
overnight. He does intimate, however,
that the ore containing the quantity Of
platinum that it does and the fact that
ne can utilize all the by-products, in
addition to the iron, makes it most
alluring and profitable project.
Mr.. Scott stated that previous to re-
commencing to the present owner to buy
the property, which consists of about
100 acres, he had visited the old pit on
numerous occasions and made tests of
ore that he picked up. All of these am
Piles, according to the assayer, contained
gold in small quantities, but it was there
and in some instances, he states that a
streak of gold was plain enough in the
ore TO be seen with the naked eye. He
pow freely admits that it was because
Of this gold that was discovered that he
became interested and that even after
machinery was installed and about so
cons of ore crushed for more practi-
sal test, had it not shown the precious
metal in paying quantities the project
would have been abandoned, as he does
not consider that it would pay suffi-

ciently well to operate the mine for the
iron ore alone. This accounts for the
hurry in installing some machinery
early last summer and operating 1t be-
fore erecting any buildings.
The practical tests after the installa-
tion of the machinery, however, even
held a surprise for Mr.. Scott and his
associates. Up until that time, while all
the ore assayed small quantity of gold,
they had no idea that it also contained
the more precious metal, platinum, and
were consequently agreeably surprised
and more pleased than ever with the
project. While, according TO Mr Scott,
the gold is in all the ore and even in
the surface soil, some does not contain
any sign of platinum, but other tests
show it in more plentiful quantities than
the gold, and in the more practical tests
of crushing tons of the ore it appears
in about the same quantity as the gold
The crusher that was installed last
summer weighs 20 tons and has a capa-
city for crushing 300 tons daily. The
other equipment, however, will not take
care of more than tons daily, SO that
1t will be increased as 1t is desired to
have a capacity of 300 tons when IN op-
GRAFTON, and another crusher may be
added later. The ore and soil when it
comes from the crusher Is as fine as
flour. 1t passes into a concentration,
capable of handling five tons per day,
where the pure iron is collected and the
residue passes out on tables arrangeS
below. This residue, which in previous
attempts at operating the mine was
waste, only the iron being disposed of,
can be used in by-products, so that there
will be no waste. 1t will probably be
used for making cheap grade Of paint
after being put through a slight chemi
cal treatment and also for manufacIur-
ing bricks, This will give five sources
of revenue, namely-go!d, platinum, iron
paint and bricks, without any waste
In answer to questions, Mr.. Scott stat
ed that he estimates the amount of gold
in what tests they have made from the
discarded ore will run 81 to the ton. This
estimate may increase materially as
they go down some distance in mining.
The platinum shows in about the same
quantity as gold, but is more than twice
as valuable, so that a ton of the ore will
produce between So and 81 of the two
precious metals in addition to the iron
and by-products. Gold is worth about
800 an ounce and the value of platinum is
about $45 an ounce
