PALLADIUM IS VALUABLE

Heavy Inpertations OF This Metal
Exceeds II Value That Of Gold
In 1911, according to the United
States Geological Survey, 1880 ounces
Of palladium were produced, 800
ounces from crude foreign and domes-
tic sands and the rest from the refin-
ing of copper ores and copper bullion.
Palladium finds . fairly large use
in technology. Circles Of astronom-
ical instruments are made Of 1t, and
it is also employed in Matchmaking.
Its most extensive use is probably for
certain alloys in dental work. It is
also employed for soldering platinum
metals. As it is not altered or dis
colored by exposure to air it is often
used for plating metal ware. The de-
mand for this metal is greater than
the supply.
Accor ding to the Bureau Of Statis-
tics, 1918 troy ounces Of palladium
were imported into the United States
Il, 1911, the value assigned being
$56,3O7, or $46.22 an ounce.

ready considering the next steps to

drawn from the country, thus again
affording evidence to the world at

tic motives that have caused the Unit
ed States government to intervene In
Nicaraguan. Only one guarantee is
to be exacted from President Diaz'
government, and that is that the next
president Of Nicaraguan shall be the
free and untrammeled choice Of the
majority. This will be following the
precedent recently set in Panama,
where liberal majority, almost for
the first time in the history of Latin
American politics, was enabled to
come into power against the opposi-
ton Of the powerful conservative gov
ernment without shedding single
drop Of blood, or . threat Of rebel
