HIGH Cost of Ignorance

Platinum today is about the most
precious metal that the ordinary ci-
tlzen ever sees. Weight for weight.
is is two and one-quarter times as
valuable as gold. In the days when
FlZarros cOnquistado.es were racing
through South America looking for
gold and silver and for slaves to
mine the same. platinum was worth
just nothing at all. Which has led
to rather amusing results. Gold and
platinum are found together in the
sands of the Nagua and Atrato rivers
in the western part of the Republic
of Colombia. These placer mines
have been worked since before the
Spanish conquest and for centuries
the gold was saved and the platinum
thrown away. A metal like iron
would have rusted away and disap-
reared, but platinum endures. Min
ing companies are looking for it this
moment in the dumps where it was
tossed 300 years ago, and in one
town among these ancient "diggings"
the earth excavated for a founda-
ton has yielded enough platinum to
pay for the building
What a building boom there would
be in an American city under such
conditions. The same story-minus
the reward for digging cellars-can
be told of many places. Metallur-
gists of today estimate that one .
third of the gold and silver of the
great Comstock lode was scattered
in waste over the Nevada deserts.
Silver has been mined at Laurelon,
near Athens, for $500 years. but
the most profitable branch of the
business in recent times has been
mined at Laurion, near Athens. The
waste attending the opening of early
oil wells and gas wells is known to
all.

The Metal and Mining Conditions I'm
proving Considerably

Conditions in mining generally have
taken a very decided turn for the bet
ter and is already showing decided i'm
prOVements.
The Mining and Scientific Press
says: With the gradual REIMBURSEMENT
of market conditions many of the
mines which suspended operations with
the beginning of hOstilities in Europe
are again producing. Reports from
Idaho ana Utah are extremely optimis
tic and the production of silver, lead
and zinc is again almost normal While
the copper situation has not been de-
termined, the position of zinc has been
strengthened and lead and silver are in
. much better position than they We're
ten days ago.
AS regards silver, it is reported to
have been sold in considerable guam
titles in New York, August p at SO
cents per ounce that price being de-
termined by a London quotation made
August 2l, the first official quotation
since the war opened.
In Arizona matters look equally
bright, as will be seen by the follow
ing letter from one of our smelter
companies written a day previous to
the London quotation.

has been fortunate in making sales to
home manufacturers to an extent equal
TO our receipts.
Therefore, we will settle in full for
all silver received August 18th to 18th
inclusive at the New York average of
our sales, named at 56as per ounce.
Furthermore, beginning with re-
ceipts of August 20 and until further
advised we will advance against silver
shipments at the rate of 40c per ounce
under the same conditions as per our

In addition to the above a large pur
chase of silver has been made for the
coast mint. Word comes from Wash
ingtOn that George E. Roberts, director
of the mint has bought 1000 ounces
of silver for immediate delivery at the
San Francisco mint. The price was
53.1 cents an ounce.
In Arizona properties that tempo
rarily closed down, are again resuming
operations. The Commonwealth at
Pearce is operating again after close
down of. weeks, the improvement in
price of silver warranted the resump-
ton of operations. The company put
the old force back at work in the mill
and mine, and all operations are pro-
ceeding and normal conditions resumed
as previous to the suspension of work.
At Tombstone the leasers on the old
property are now beginning to ship
quite large tonnage of ore, after the
announcement that the SmelterS were
again prepared to accept ore for treat
ment. The leasors have accumulated
a large quantity of ore for shipment,
for the uninterruptedly continued eX-
traction during the period the smelters
refused shipments.
Referring to the cOppers, the condi-
lions at the properties are certainly on
the improve. They are all holding
their reduced forces at least, and some
of them are gradually taking back

Magma Mine

The much reported rich strike in this
mine recently, is simply continuation
Of the high grade ore short encount
cred in the upper workings and which
consists of harnite, chalcocite and
chalcopyrites, the ore is certainly beau
tiful in appearance and wonderful in
its being so high grade. On the 800
foot level of the mine, this rich ore
body was said to be sets of timbers
wide, with scarcely a seam of waste in
it. Work was suspended on this level
for some time, pending a thorough
testing of the ground in all directions
by diamond drill holes and it is said
extensive disseminated copper areas
We're proven. after the completion of
this work, shaft sinking was resumed
and continued to a depth of 1000 feet
where it is proven that this large and
rich ore body still continues. Down
to the 500 foot the property had fine
levels, viz. 200, 400, 500, $50 and 500.
The 200 level is an adit 500 long, all
ingres and egress to the mine is made
through this working, instead of from
the collar of the shaft, as the latter is
situated in rather an awkward posi-
ton on the hill side
The new concentratOr now treating
500 tons of ore per day was erected to
treat the ores from the disseminated
area and the fines from the shipping
ore. The conditions in the mine could
not be better and the cOncentrator is
working very successfully.

cyanide contents separated

and the cyanide contents separated
thereof. .--,..-.
In the publication of coal gas by
hydrated iron oxide, large amounts
of cyanide are continually Obtained;
this has been an old-time source of
supply.
The extension of the by-product
coke ovens, replacing the wasteful
beehive ovens, constitute an abund-
ant source of nitrogen products from
which large quantities of cyanides
can be obtained.
The beet sugar industry is another
well known source of cyanide which
is obtained as one OF. the by products
by the treatment of residue vinasse.
Formerly most of the potassium
ferro cyanide from which other cy-
anogen compounds were made was
obtained by fusion of dry refuse ami =
NAL matter at red heat, together
with potassium carbonate and iron
filings. About 5000 tons of cyanides
were yearly produced by this me-
thod.
The scarcity of hoofs, horns and
scrap leather and the competition of
synthetic cyanides have RELOCATED
this old method.
Cyanides can also be made from
atmospheric nitrogen, by synthesis
between carbon disulphide and am
monia; by ammonia, charcoal and
alkali and from sulphocyanides.
There are several hundred patents
(many of them in ope-ation) which
have been applied for during the last
20 years relating to the preparation
of cyanides from carbides, from in
tribes. etc.
The enumeration of the more prac-
teal methods for the preparation OF
cyanides by these various methods
would be too long. Those brief notes
show plainly the abundance of ma
terials which we have within Our,
reach, TO create an Independent ma
tlonal industry, which could not only
produce all the cyanide required tc

No D.arth Of Doctors.

sion that the steady reduction In number of

ISOLATION.
II appears from this publication that the num-
Der Of our doctor factories has been cut from
162 in 1905 to 10t at present; the number or

1904 to 16.b0s in June OF this year And yet
II Is stated that the sixty large schools OF the
highest class could easily care for all these
16,S02 students
As to the supply of doctors, It runs
in the United States one 10 every 500 to 600
persons, as compared with one to every 1900
10 $500 in Europe. On an average, 1000
American physicians die annually. but in 1918.
1884 fresh ones we're graduated to take their
places For several, years, according to the Of
fetal report, "the annual output OF new doctors
exceeded 5000" So at that rate, II will take
quite while for us TO run short on doctors.
What provoked the war on the doctor fac

England,s Indian Troops.

What does 1t mean that England is to have
the help of It's Indian troops in this war? The
empire of India by the last census comprised
population OF 316,OOO,OOO, scattered over an
area Of 100000 square miles The native In
dian army numbered up to the last count 1907
900 men. but what proportion Of this gigantic
mass OF humanity could England whip into
fighting form for the present crisis? There is
no question OF midas loyalty to Great Britain
or It's readiness to fight The dispatches even
make II appear as II the native Indian was
apprehensive lest he might not be permitted to

are Australasia and the American provinces

"England's sun never SETS" Is the boast
but that is not always to the complete advan-
tage Of England in a war where quick trans
fer and mobilization OF troops is required to

Independence Through self.Dependenos.


With the disruption Of ocean transportation
and intercourse with 90 many other nations Of
the world the strength Of Americas position
lies in its self-dependence and unusual ability
to supply practically all Of its own needs, an ad
vantage which few other countries possess.
The Philadelphia Press notes this comfort
ing condition, which It shows was brought about
by the development OF industries under
protective tariff, and pertinently asks what
plight We would now be in II we had all along
followed the principle Of free trade. As It re-
calls, the theorists would have us devote our
selves exclusively to occupations which we are
naturally fitted for in superior degree to other
peoples and exchange our products for other
products made cheaper abroad on the basis Of
mutual profit.
In a world Of perpetual peace and brotherly
love we might possibly approach this IDEAL but
we sec now the danger OF being wholly depend
ent upon the exchange OF our goods with out
side countries that may go to war with one an
other In other words, the beautiful theory OF
free trade has collided with the unanswerable
logic OF events-a collision that proves the alb
so!ute necessity of the United States maintain
ing sufficient protection to develop varied in
dustry and make us self-dependent. For with
out self-dependence our nation could not be in
dependent
