PLATINUM FOUND

Recently in assaying a copper ore from Karta Bay, I detected the presence of platinum-fur- ther investigation showed it to be present in quantities varying from trace to .32 oz., per ton (present quotation $44.00 per ounce). My attention was call ed to platinumferous copper ore from the Clarance straits side of Kasaan peninsula an assay showed $1.S0 per ton platinum. This was confirmed by Hawkins. Karta Bay platin- um confined by Prof. Hall at Columbia University. These points are several miles from one another. Both are in alter ed peridote. That platinum is widespread is apparently evil dent. The Bureau of Mines has asked to be kept informed and if further results warrant they will make a special inves- tigation.

TURNER GETS PATENT ON !
HEATER

Frank F. Turner of this city has
received a patent on an improved hot
water heater, or furnace. The heater
is specially adapted for use in places
where the building must be quickly
warmed.
The boiler consists of a set Of cone
shaped cups for water which are set
in much the same as the selections in
a collapsible drinking cup. Between
each Of these cone-shaped cups are
flues where the heat passes through.
In this way the water is heated in
much shorter time than in the ordinary
hot water boiler, where it is in one
large body.
Mr.. Turner is now making arrange
ments to incorporate and manufacture
the heater. A number of different
sizes will be made, to suit the require
ments of buildings of any size. The
inventor now has factory on the
West side for the manufacture of the
wheat heater and dryer, which he also
invented. As to whether or not the
hot water heater will be manufactured
in this city, Mr: Turner has as yet not
decided. .,-.-. -. .-,-. .., -: ="

PLANS SUBMITTED FOR jAIL|
COMMISSIONERS MET TUESDAY
AND sELRCTED PLANS DRAWN
BY ALDEN 4 HARRIS, ST. PAUL.

Tuesday at the county commission.
ers meeting several architects from
s., Cloud and Minneapolis wore pres.
entsand admitted plans for a. new Jail
which the county proposes toserect at
q cost Of about $50, 700. d. II. Parsons
Of Minneapolis, architect for the high
school building, r. C. Buckley Of St.
Cloud and. VIM. Harris, representing
esfrm Of Alden & Harris, Of st. Paul,
had some fine plans, but the plans Of
the sSt. Paul firm came nearest to be.
ing what the commissioners wanted,
and they will be accepted with some
changes. State Jail inspector, L. f.
Foley was at the meeting to give the
com,aissi sioners suggestions before ac-
cepting the plans. s..@
The plans Of Alden & Harris provide
for combined jail building and
shenH's residence and his office, as
we'll as a room for the jailor. The
plans also provide for three wards in
the building, one women g ward, one
juvenile and one for insane prisoners,
which is to contain one padded cell.
e The first floor of the building would
contain nothing but the sheriff's Office
and the regular cells. The plans call
for twelve Of these in two rows Of six
each. The commissioners do not ia
vor this idea, however, but prefer to
have half of the cells on the second
foof. Two corridors are provided for
each row Of cells, the inside one being
for the prisoners and the outside one
for the jailor. The main corridors
cross the building in front Of the cell
corridors. 80 - -
The second floor will contain four
rooms for the sheriff, bedroom for
the jailor and three wards, according
to sfhe plans. Should they be changed
anEsix regular cells placed on the
second floor, the arrangement would be
materially different. $500:
The structure will be built Of con-
crete and brick, and will occupy the
site Of the present building, facing
First avenue south. .,.- s--

BASEBALL TINE DRAWING NEAR
LOCALS SEEM TO FAVOR LEAGUE
CONSISTING OF SALAR1ED
g, TEAMS FOR 1914.

With the approach Of warm weather
the Baseball fever has again seized the
fans Of this city, and from what we can
gather from the supporters of the ma
teaal game, Little Falls wants base
ball during the 1914 season, and not
enlT that, but the demand seems again
to be for an all-salaried team.
Chas. Sylvester, one Of the board
Of managers of the 1913 team, has writ
ten letters to the baseball managers in
a number Of neighboring towns. He
has received but one res, ense, letter
from the manager of the Brainerd
team, stating that the fans of that
city favor Central Minnesota
league, to include Sank Rapids, st.
Cloud, Wadena, Crosby, Melrose, Roy
alton, Little Falls and Brainerd, for
Sunday baseball.

GAS FRANCHISE EXAMINED

E. A. Loucks, Geo. Peterson; VIM.
Parshall and City Attorney A. H. Yer
non met at the office Of the latter on
Tuesday evening with A. Bishop, a
representative of the Columbus Gas
Construction company Of Milwaukee
and examined the modified gas fran
chise, for which the company has made
application to the city.
Among the provisions in the fran
chise which were unsatisfactory to the
committee were the following:
One clause in the franchise provides
that the company shall furnish about
600 B. T. U. heat. This the committee
thought should be changed so as to
make 600 units the standard, instead
of "about.'
The clause providing that the; city
flnays purchase the plant after having
it appraised by an expert, which was 9
feature clause Of the Collins franchise,
was omitted. The committee asked that
such a clause be inserted, and that it
also provide that the city could have
the plant appraised without purchas.
ing, providing it pay for the cost OF
such appraisal. . :.
The meter clause allowed for vari-
alton Of 5 per cent: The company was
asked to change this to 3 per cent,
which is more than is allowed most
companies, The Collins franchise pro-
vided for variation Of 1-2 per cent.
The representative was also asked to
have a clause inserted which would
make the company liable for accidents
which might occur during construction
Of the plant.
Section "a Of the Collins franchise,
which prohibited any combination OF
the holder Of the franchise with other
companies, was omitted from this one
! This is an important clause and the
committee recommended that it be in
serted.
The Collins franchise provided that
,, the records of the company should be
open for inspection by the public at
all times. This franchise provides
that any member of the council OF
anyone designated by the council may
inspect them. This was one OF the
chief changes.
| One clause provides that the com
pany pay not to exceed 2 IL per cent
| tax on the net earning for sales up ia
ten million cubic feet and a tax OF
three per cent ON the gross earning on
all sales over ten million. The Collins
franchise called for a gross earnings
tax of two per cent on all sales uD to
ten million cubic feet and a tax Of
three per cent on the gross earnings or
anything over ten million cubic feet.
The new franchise provides that the
patrons may have their meters cut out
for any period up to three months. I'm
der the Collins franchise only one
month was allowed. :. p *

DREADNAUoHT AUDAcIoUs
rs NOW IN DRY DOCK.

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-Passengers
arriving here today on the steamship
Lusitania from Liverpool say the
dreadnaught Audacious. reported sunk
on the Irish coast has been raised
and is now in a Harland and Wolf
drydock at Belfast undergoing re-
pairs. According to ]. ]. Sturgeon.
one of the passengers. this report Is
current in Liverpool and is accepted
as true. although the same secrecy
Is maintained as to salvage operations
as was the case regarding the sink
ing OF the battleship and the attend
ant rescue of her men by the steam
ship Olympic.
The report is that the AudacIous
did not sink in the spot where she
was left by the Olympic but that other
vessels succeeded in drawing her in
TO shallow water where the hole IN
her bottom was patched sufficiently
to permit her being towed to Belfast.
