WILL DEVELOP
ITS PROPERTY
LONGFELLOW COMPANY WILL
WORK CLAIMS DURING
WINTER

E. w. Carman, general manager
of the Longfellow company, has just
received word from headquarters in
Cleveland, Ohio, of the desire to
carry on development work all win
ter.
This work in the next six months
will be carried on in the crosscut
from the 250-foot level of the two
compartment shaft on the Big Frank
claim. This crosscut was in 12O
feet north from the shaft when
work was discontinued last July.
This crosscut will cut the Brougher
vein, some 800 feet north from the
Big Frank vein and higher up ON
Red Cloud hill at a depth of $50
feet from the surface. This is a
ledge carrying good milling ore in
the surface workings and when cut
should furnish a large supply OF
milling ore for the new Longfellow
mill at Carman Heights, a mile and
three quarters below the mine. The
company will employ an. auto tractor
for transporting the ore from the ore
bins at the mine to the mill bins
next season. 1t was for the want OF
this necessary means of transporta-
ton that the company allowed their
mill to remain idle the present sea-
SON, as there are large quantities of
ore on hand which can be milled at
a good profit with economical trans
p%ortation of ore.
The Jim Butler vein, belonging to
the company, and some 800 feet
higher up on the hill and to the
North of the Big Frank and Brough-
er veins, is a big, strong, highly min
eralized vein and considered by the
company as their best vein. This
will be cut by the crosscut now be-
ing run at a distance of some 700
feet from the Big Frank shaft and
at a depth of about 400 feet from
the surface. The Brougher vein is
of Importance, being the middle
vein, on which the permanent shaft
and hosting works will be placed
later on, so that the other two veins
may be worked more economically
through this centrally located works.
The LOngfellow company will do
custom work in their mill and
George Dangberg is now busily en-
gagged in getting out a mill run from
the property located a short distance
from the Longfellow ground. =

SOURCE
OF MAGNESITE

Up to the present, the Unitedx
States has been dependent largely
upon foreign sources for its supply
of magnesite or carbonate of mag
nesia, the imports in 1913 amount
ing to 1881 short tons, as COM
pared with only 1882 tons produced
in this country. 1t is interesting to
note that the major portion of the
imports (163,715 short tons) came
from Austria-Hungary and that most
of the remainder came from Greece,
and was landed for calcining at
Hamburg and Rotterdam before be-
ing reshipped to this country. The
question of the adequacy Of the do
nestle supply to meet u needs
therefore, ssum much import
ance. Magnesite is valuable for a
variety of purposes, such as various
refractory uses, as brick, furnace
hearths, crucibles, etc.; as magne-
SUM sulphite for the digestion and
whitening of wood-pulp paper; in
crude form for the manufacture of
carbon dioxide; calcined and ground
for o%xychloride or Sorel cement;
miscellaneous applications in crude
or calcined form; miscellaneous uses
of refined magnesia salts. The mag
nestle from Austria-H Hungary has
been received chiefly at Philadelphia
and is used in the manufacture of
refractory brick. The Grecian mag
nestle enters chiefly ut New York
and is used for all the purposes emu
merated above.
The dependence of American users
of m%agnesite on the foreign supplies
is due for n thing to the location
of the American deposits in Califor-
mia, at so great a distance from the
eastern markets that the freight
rates have been prohibitive. The es-
tablishment of water transportation
through the Panama canal may be
expected to alleviate this difficulty.
A second cause is the difference in
composition between the magnesites
of Austria Hungary and those of
California. The former generally
contain 6 to s per cent of iron, which
appears to be beneficial in the man.
u~facture of refractory brick.
With the cutting off of the Austro-
Hungarian and possibly of. the Gre
clan supplies there would seem to be
every reason why the California in
dustry should be materially ad-
vanced. Fortunately the deposits in
that state are numerous, and many
of them are fairly large and of high
grade. In the opening and devel-
opment of these mines their near
ness to railroad transportatiN
seems to have been of more imporEr
ance than the character or extent OF
the deposits. Certain deposits, not
ably in Santa Clara and San Benito
counties. are known to be large in
extent and of good character of ma
terial, but they lie idle owing to the
distance the mineral must be haul
ed to a railroad, while smaller mines
close to railroad stations are being
worked. bulletin 500, U. S. geo.

PLANS TO ESTABLISH

PLATINUM PRODUCTION IN
UNITED STATES IN 1913

Although the high price of plati-
mum encouraged prospecting in the
United States in 1918, says David T..
Day in an advance chapter from Min
eral Resorces, 1913, on the produc-
ton of platinum and allied metals,
now in press by the United States
geological survey, the expected in
crease in the production of crude
metal was not realized. The total
production from California and Ore
gon, the two sources of platinum
ore in this country, amounted to
4S2.87 crude ounces and was valued
at $1S,477.
A considerable output of platinum
is also obtained in the United States
from the refining of gold and cop
per bullion. A portion of this plati-
mum originates in old scrap, sweep,
ings, etc, sold by jewelers. and dem
lists. About $50 fine ounces, how
ever, was derived in 1913 as new
metal from gold and copper bull
lion from domestic mines. The
production of refined platinum in
this country in 1913 from domestic
sources was 1,034 troy ounces val
ued at $46,530 against 1,005 troy
ounces valued at $45.77S in 1912.
Russia has been the greatest pro-
Queer of platinum in the world, the
output of crude platinum in 1918
being 25O.00S troy ounces.
The value of platinum imported
for consumption in the United States
in 1918 was valued at $~5,040,21C
against $4,503,6S2 in 1912.
In late years platinum has come
into greater use in the jewelry trade,
but this increased demand has beer
compensated for by the decreased
use of the metal for electric light
bulbs.

TEXAS COMES TO FRONT

AS a result of two years work by
Superintendent Alex McLaren of the
Llano Gold and Rare Metal Mining
company at Llano, Texas, the prop
erty has been thoroughly p~rospected
and developed to a point where the
erection of a mill was warranted.

erection will have a capacity of so
tons per day and consists of a 7x9

All material with the exception of
power and Door mechanisms were
furnished by the Traylor Engineer
ing and Manufacturing company,
through the Denver branch. Dorr
material was furnished by the Door
