YUMA COUNTY HAS UNTOLD WEALTH AT HAND

Very recently it was dis covered that a mine which was being worked for leaC contained platinum and pal ladium in very considerable quantities, giving total val ue of $21,OO0 per ton. For six years hundreds of thou sands of dollars were lost This is but one of the wastes in the mining industry, that goes to make up a national loss of $l,OOO,OO0 per day in mineral wastes.
 Again they found more pal ladium than was believed to exist, and although palladi- um is quoted at $7O per ounce a production of ten ounces 9 day would swamp the market. 1t was then necessary in or der to sell the product, to ere lte new demands, to expert nent and find out for what [ could be used. Experiment tation proved that if alloyed Jith 80 per cent gold it would rove an efficient substitute or platinum at less than one hird the cost. In many ways t has proven superior to the platinum. This is one of the many cases.
 The work of preventing waste and thus increasing the public wealth is properly the function of the federal and Srate governments. HOW many people have platinums, 2alladiumS and other miner llS that they did not know existed? And how many people would know what to IO with cases such as the lbove.
 The state of Arizona needs particular attention to this matter. The small operators leed much assistance and the arger operators will require assistance. It is proposed to

BEGIN NEW ORLEANS
 BATTLE CENTENNIAL

NEW ORLEANS, Dec 23.-Special to the Yuma Daily EXaminer-One hundred years ago today occurred the first skirmish in the series of en- agreements that eliminated in General Jackson defeating the British at the battle of New Orleans, which was the last battle fought between American and British arms. It was on the night of December 23 that General Jackson attacked the British force under Gen eral Keane at Villere's plantation, just about nine miles below New Orleans, and succeeded in checking the enc my's advance on this city. The Brit ish lost 400 men in killed and wounded and the American loss amounted to about one-fourth of that number.
 The observance of the centennial anniversary of this engagement was not held today, but will be incorpor- ated in the three-day celebration to be held here next month, beginning on the one hundredth anniversary of the battle of New Orleans proper.

 oratOries as can be obtained for research work and teach
 ing the utilization of our na-
 tional wastes. Such labora- i tories would be state labora- tories in every way-labora- tories to be used for the peo- pie of the state and by the people of the state.
 Many times examining en- gineers are forced to --;rn down properties because they involve something new in metallurgical practice and they have no adequate facili- ties for testing. These facili- EleS QO not exist m COmmeT- Cial testing laboratories when the Nroblem involved is som: thing new, and there is nc place where the engineer can work out his own problems. The plan proposed calls for the use of such laboratories by anyone capable of using them, at no cost other than for power and material used. The plans also call for a state Sampling plant. This would be of immeasurable aid to the smaller producers.
 Every one in Arizona, the miner, farmer and merchant, alike, should get behind sue a movement, as it means very many dollars brought into thl state in invested capital anc thousands more in payrolls.
 The present business de- pression and lack of money in Arizona is because of the, fact that the mine payrolls are not being circulated, but Arizona contains millions of dollars in minerals for which the present European war has increased the demand, but which we are not pre- pared to use.
