irmed. Official Washington gave real
credence to the reports. however, now
that the long threatened break with
the German empire has become so inn
minent that most of the officials say
only satisfactory response to the docu-
ment drafted today can avoid IL. The

Fine Shouting
Of Parker Wells

PARKER, Ariz, Feb. 17.-That a
large supply of water can be obtained
for irrigation by pumping from wells
on the Colorado Indian reservation
was proven in the final test of one of
the state experimental wells which
has just been completed. The we'll
was pumped continuously for AZ
hours, and the flow averaged S25 gal
Ions per minute for the entire period
c. R. Olberg, superintendent of irri-
cation in the Indian service, who
witnessed the test as the personal rep
resentative of Secretary Lane, ex-
pressed himself as well pleased with
the showing and also with the quality
of the water, which is said to be of
the best. Three other wells, recently
put down by the state to prove that
there is water in sufficient quantities
to warrant the opening of the project
as a pumping proposition will be test
ed at once. The well just tested
showed drawdown of only 25 feet
from the surface, and maintained this
level throughout the test.

DIR. RICKETTS, WINS
HIGHEST HONOR IN
AMERICAN INSTITUTE

Announcement was made at New
York yesterday of the election of DIR.
l. D. Ricketts,, as president of the
American Institute of Mining Engi-
neers for the coming year DR..
Ricketts, is president and general man
ager of the Cananea Consolidated
Copper Co., and has directed the ex-
penditure in mining construction of
some $40, 600 worth of property in
the past twelve years.
That the present scarcity of plati-
mum due to the war is to be in some
measure overcome by the mining of
platinum in this country and by the
substitutions for platinum which
American chemists are discovering
was the striking theme of an address
delivered before the Institute
This precious metal, which since the
war has increased in price from $40
to 500 an ounce, is now almost unob-
tainable. According to F. A. Fahren-
wald, of Cleveland, who presented the
address, gold and silver alloys of
palladium have been found to be ex-
cellent substitutes for platinum in its
softer forms. 1t is also explained that
the American platinum mines near
Good Springs, Nevada, are looked upon
to relieve the situation very soon.
The good news was received with
great interest by the hundreds of min
ing engineers who have migrated to
New York for the convention.
