The former President spent the
night at the home of w. J. Boardman,

evening several close friends and po-

spent the evening Informally with
him.
A heated discussion was stirred UP
at the Capitol by Mr.. Taft's protest,

SON Administration for the early
views were presented with delibera-
ton and with the evident view of
sounding a warning to the present
Administration of the danger of what
he would consider hasty action.
II will take two generations, the for
mer President declared. for the Fill
pinos to become fitted for self-govern-
Inent. 1t would be very foolish he
said, for the American Government to
promise within any definite time to give
Them their independence.
1T would be failure in our duty to
the Filipino people," he asserted. "It
would be a failure on our part in main
tanning the self-respect that we ought
10 have in discharging responsibility
that has come to US under circum-
stances we could not control, and which
We are quite able to discharge with
comparatively small effort We shall

several orders, both by letter and by

PLATINUM PRODUCTION
INCREASES
Domestic Supply Obtained Largely
From California and
Oregon

While the high nrice Of platinum In
the United States in 1912 encouraged
prospecting for this rare metal, the
product on in that year was but slight
ly larger than that Of the preceding
year. According to David T. Day, Of
the United States Geological Survey,
in an advance chapter from Mineral
Resources for 1912 on the production
of platinum and allied metals, recent
ly published by the Survey, the out
put of crude platinum in 1912 WAS
721 ounces, compared to 62S ounces
in 1911. With the exception of a
small yield from the New Rambler
copper mines, in Albany County, Wy
oming, the entire domestic production
came from California and Oregon.
The greater part of the California
platinum was obtained as a by-prod-
uct in gold dredging in Butte, Yuba,
Sacramento, and Calaveras counties.
nc Shileu oldttS supply comes
chiefly from the manufactured and
manufactured platinum imported in
directly from Russia. In addition,
1920 ounces of platinum sand were
imported into the United States in
1912, which by the usual estimate of
so per cent fine metal, would yield
1924 ounces of refined platinum. In
a1, the refined platinum produced in
domestic refineries from both domes-
tic and foreign sources amounted to
approximately 3S,O29 fine ounces, val.
ued at $l,732,221, compared with 49,.
l4O fine ounces similarly obtained in
1911. The total value OF our platin.
UNI importations in 1912-both raw
material and manufactured products
was $4,503,6s2 against s4,S66, 2O7 in
1911.
