Platinum. one Of the most useful
of the metals In many ways, was
named by the Spaniards on account
of its silvery color, plata signifying
silver. IL was foand la the aurifer-
Gus sands of the River Pinto, In
South America, and was unknown
In Europe prior to lGIl, when Don
Antonio Ulloa announced It's exist
ence in his narrative of a voyage to-
Peru. IL was not until 1890 that
platinum was rendered malleable
and ductile by DR.. William Hyde,
OF Wallaston. Platinum Is largely
employed in the manufacture of
chemical utensils, owing to its I'M

POOR JUDGMENT IN

IL was about fourteen years ago that

1t soon became known that the Genera |
Electric people were in the market for
properties, and every KIND of a prospect
was offered TO them. One OF the first
was the Greene property at Cananes
which Colonel William &. Greone offered
for S250.000. but II was turned down-it
is now selling for Sg5.o 900. About the
same time, the Shannon property was
offered for 500 600. but likewise rejected

NEW MINING LAWS
ARE NEEDED HERE
Engineer Points Out What He
Believes American Code
Should Be.

On the much discussed subject OF dc
fects and deficiencies OF the American
mining laws. Horace V. Winchell re-
Gently read paper n, Toronto at the
session OF the Canadian Mining Institute.
Mr.. winchell believes that the United
States would do well 10 follow the exam
pie of Canada which appointed a commit
tee OF lawyers and mining engineers To
revise the mining laws OF that country,
His article summarizes the needs of the
American situation in the following man
ner:
First-The development and prosperity
OF all countries are Nitally affected by
the provisions OF their laws relating TO
mines
Sccond-Greater inducements and more
liberal rewards should be offered in un-
settled countries than in districts Of den
ser population.
'rhird-Continuou development work
should be required and rlcldy enforced.
but
Fourth-No narrow limit should be
placed on the amount Of property held by
an individual or corporation so long as
the aggregate amount of work equals the
product of the net units or area held mu'-
,iplied by the amount Of development re
q,rired for each unit area
Fffth-In case OF any contest either be-
tween rival claimants or between loca
tor and the government fun privilege
should be given or appeal TO the courts as
i'm other matters wherein the title to prop
crty is involved.
In addition to the above. and with par
ticuar reference 10 the United states,
taking into account the system OF mining
law there already established by long
years OF precedent and custom. the fol-
lowing recommendations are tentatively
presented:
a The apex law should he abolished
b. Mining claims should be loCatable
regardless Of discovery and held only
so long as the specified development work
is performed in good faith.
c. Placer locations should be limited
10 deposits OF loose material above solid
bedrock
d. A statute Of limitations should es-
tablish a reasonable term OF years be-
yond which placer patents shall he I'm
mune from attack on the ground OF mis-
in the patent application.
@. Special statutes should he enacted
provided for the location and working OF
oil, phosphates. rare carths. haloids and
other mineral substances not specifically
mentioned I'm the present laws.
[. Existing titles should be fully rec
ognized and confirmed and no effort
should be made to create retroactive legis-

Rate Is Too High.

This rate is considered entirely too
nigh by tho Utah producers. especially
In View of the fact that from Inyo coun-
ty. CAL. and Good Springs, New. mines
identically the same smelters at iden-
tically the same rate per ton, and IL the
railroads can hall such ore from Call
rornia and Nevada for IS per ton, they
ought to be able to reduce this rate from
Utah To the east with Utah several
hundred miles closer east than the other
sections mentioned.
1t Is stated that In Tintic alone during
tho past few months there haye been
anywhere from 10000 to 10000 tons OF
zinc ore developed, with the possibilities
tor stlll larger amount very favorable
with additional work and this is term ed
accidental tonnage because IT is merely
incidental IN the production Of the Tin
tic district, 1t is accidental tonnage. too
because the greatly reduced zinc ore ton
mage produced by the nation last year
drove the price OF the metal so far up
tho scale that this zinc ore became mar
ketable for the first timo In the history
OF the camp.
But the tonnage is increasing from
other camps and should the price be
aeprcssed Tintic VIII DC unable to realize
