Platinum Discovery In Nevada
MAY Prove to Be World Beater

content than for their platinum and
Doth are at present shut down.
Recently a new deposit of platinum
minerals has been discovered in
Clark county. This is on the proper
ty Of the Boss Gold Mining company
in the Yellow Pine mining district.
1t has been described 10y Fred A.
Hale, Jr., the secretary of the COM
pany in a recent number of The
Engineering and Mining Journal. The
country rock in the vicinity of this
deposit consists of limestone cut by
large intrusion of acid porphyry.
The ore bodies occur in crushed
fault zone which traverses both lime
stone and porphyry, but contains ore
only in the limestone. Ledoux & Co,
of New York, assayed sample c.
carload lot, obtaining the following
result:
Palladium, 5.47 ounces; platinum,
IL ounces gold, 8.752 ounces; silver,
9 ounces; copper, 0o7 ounces; insol-
uble, 8O7 per cent; sulphur, O.5 per
cent; iron 81 per cent.
They state that the metals are lp-
parently in free condition, seeming
to be alloys of gold and the platinum
metals.
A sample of this ore has just been
assayed by Assistant Professor Pal
mer in the state mining laboratory a1
|the Mackay School of Mines with tie
following results:
Palladium, 60.4 ounces; platinum,
1z.28 ounces; gold, 1892 ounces, and
silver, 1896 ounces.
Thus the Boss ore has a much
higher platinum content than that of
the Key West and Great Eastern
mines ans. is even richer in palladium.

More than 90 per cent of the
worlds production OF platinum comes
frcm the Ural mountain region in
Russia, where it is obtained from
placers. The production of the
United States is extremely small,
most of it being obtained as h,-
product in placer gold mining in
Northern California and Oregon,
while a small proportion comes from
the New Rambler copper mines in Al
bany county, Wyo. There is also
production of small amounts of pla<.
inum and palladium in the electro
lytic copper rehneries from minute
amounts in the ores. The total pro-
duction of the United States amounts
to only about a thousand ounces a
year, while the production of plati-
mum in Russia in 1913 was 275,000
ounces. The present price of plati-
mum is about twice that of gold
There are two localities in Clark
county, Nevada. where platinum is
known to occur and from one Of
these platinum ore is now being shin
ped. The first place where the metal
was found in Nevada was in the Cop
per King district, sixteen miles south
from Bunkerville at the Key West
and Great Eastern mines. This 1e-
post was described by Howland Ban
croft, of the United States geological
survey, in Mineral Resources of the
United States for 1o0S" The ore s
a very basic intrusive in coarse
grained acid gneiss. There are a
number of intrusives in the gneiss
which vary from aplite to peridotite.
The values occur in the latter rock.
Assays from the Key West mine
made at Stanford University in 1908,
ran IL per cent copper, 1.3 per cent
nickel and O.O5 per cent platinur,.
Samples from the Great Eastern were
said to contain Is per cent copper,
90 per cent nickel, and 025 per
cent platinum. A specimen from the
Key West mine, which was sent to
the Mackay School of Mines, was
tested by assaying clippings from
four different portions. These chip
pings ran from one-half an ounce -
two ounces in platinum. and averaged
one ounce. This, however, was an
especially rich piece of ore and the
previously published assays are all
lower. Both properties are OF great

ing in the incline.
Work was carried on in the incline
yesterday by a force Of men making
repairs, but the members Of this gang
are at loss to explain the origin.
On the 1,600-foot level the extraction
of ore has been under way, but no
mine work has been carried out on
the level where the fire is raging for
some time
later
This morning word was received
from Virginia City that during the
night the fire gained such headway
that the fire crews were compelled 70
give up work. Everything below the

and there is little hope of saving any
thing in the stations and drifts.
