pany in the Yellow Pine mining dis
trict. 1t has been described by Fred
A. Hale, Jr., the secretary of the
company, in a recent number of the
Engineering and Mining Journal.
The country rock in the vicinity of
this deposit consists of limestone cut
by a large intrusion of acid por-
phyry. The ore bodies occur in a
crushed fault zone which traverses
both limestone and porphyry, but
contains ore only in the limestone.
Ledoux and company of New York
assayed a sample of a carload lot,
obtaining the following results:
Palladium, SAT ounces; platinum,
IL ounces; gold, 1852 ounces; sill
yer, 9 ounces; copper, 0.97 per cent;
insoluble, S0.7 per cent; sulphur, S
per cent; iron, 81 per cent.
They state that the metals are ap-
parently in a free condition, seem
ing 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
at the Mackay school of mines with
the following results:
Palladium, 60.4 ounces; platinum,
1928 ounces; gold, 1892 ounces;
silver, 1896 ounces.
Thus the Boss ore has a much
higher platinum content than that
of the Key West and Great Eastern
mines and is even richer in palla-
dunn.

HIGH GRADE FROM
NEVADA PACKARD

In the First National bank there
has been on exhibition for the past
week the finest specimen ever pro-
duced in the Rochester district. It
comes from the property of the Me-
vada Packard Mines company and
was found in an enriched shoot in
the 90-foot ore body from which
that company has SHIPPED SO many
cars of high grade during the past
few months.
The block of ore is an altered rhy-
olite, weighs approximately 40
pounds and is literally filled with
horn and ruby silver. 1t assays
1900 ounces in silver and $3.50 in
gold to the ton. At the present
price of silver the valuation would
be almost $3.50 to the ton.
1t is the intention Of the COM
pany to ship the specimen to Reno,
where it will be placed for a short
time in the window of the broker
age office of Will F. Heffernan &
Co., and then turned over to Prof.
Jones, who is gathering the mineral
exhibit for the university, and who
will send it to San Francisco with
other minerals being collected in the
state for the exposition.

PLATINUM MINERALS IN NEVADA

More than 80 per cent of the
worlds production of platinum
comes from the Ural mountain re-
gion in Russia, where 1t is obtain
ed from placers. The production of
the United States is extremely small.
most of it being obtained as a bt.
product in placer gold mining in
northern California and Oregon,
while a small proportion comes from
the New Rambler copper mines in
Albany county, Wyoming. There is
also a production of small amounts
of platinum and palladium in the
e~lectrolytic copper refineries from
minute amounts in the ores. The
total production of the United States
amounts to only about a thousand
ounces a year, while the production
of platinum in Russia in 1913 was
275,000 ounces. The present price
OF platinum 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
shipped. The first place where the
metal was found in Nevada was in
the Copper King district 16 miles
south from B%unkerville at the Key
West and Great Eastern mines. This
deposit was described by Rowland
Bancroft of the United States geo.
logical survey, in Mineral Resourc-
es of the United States for 1905"
The ore is a very basic intrusive in
coarse-grained acid gneiss. There
are a number Of intrusives in the
gneiss which vary from aplite to
pedidotite. The values occur in the
latter rock. Assays from the Key
West mine made at Stanford univer-
sity in 1903, ran 1T per cent cop
per, 1.3 per cent nickel and 0.05 per
cent platinum. Samples from the
Great Eastern r said to contain
1.5 per cent copper, 0.9 per cent
nickel, and OBS 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 por-
tions. These clippings ran from
one-half to two ounces in platinum,
and averaged one ounce. This,
however, was an especially rich
piece of ore and the previously pub
lished assays are all lower. Both
properties are of greater value for
their nickel and copper content than
for their platinum and both are at
present shut down.
Recently a new deposit of plati-
mum minerals has been discovered
in Clark county. This Is on the
property of the Boss Mining COM

I'VE recognize no obligation on the
part of any Irishman to fight for the
British empire, now and at all times
the inveterate foe of Irish nationality;
on the other hand. the German people
have been the consistent friends of
our countrymen at home and abroad,
and their cooperation in helping to de-

I'VE believe that Irish sympathy is
no more with England now than at any

IRISH OF CHICAGO
TO VISIT KAISER
United Societies Will Send Com
mittee to Show Sympathy
in Conflict.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 2S.-At meeting
of the board of directors of the United
Irish Societies of Chicago it was
planned to send representative COM
mlttee of Irish-Americans and German
Americans to Germany for the pur-
pose of conveying the sympathies of
the Irish Nationalist of this country
to the kaiser and the German people.
The action of the meeting. which was
held secretly at the Hotel LaSalle last
week. was announced last night by
James l. Dwyer, member Of the
board.
I'VE have a special representative in
Ireland now" said Mr.. Dwyer. HE is
preparing a report on conditions there
with particular reference to the opera
ton of the British news censorship
which is poisoning the minds of the
I.isb people and trying to make them
take up arms against the Germans"
The attitude OF the organization to-
ard Great Britain was expressed in
the following resolution:
Resolved, That we, the United Irish
Societies of Chicago. having consist
emily supported and helped finance the
fight for home rule. hereby condemn
the efforts of the English and Irish
rress to compel the enlistment of
irishmen In the English army. and we
contend that their campaign of villigca-
ton against Germany does not express
the true sentiment OF the irish people.
