serve results. Alaskan gold miners
also have reported platinum In the
ketchikan, Koyuk, Fairhaven and
Christochina districts.
Between 10 and 12 ounces of plat
mum were discovered in Alaska last
year. and this small amount was suf-
ficient greatly to stimulate further
prospecting this year. Government
experts will go no furthed than to say
that the situation is hopeful but
they intend to lend every effort to
development while there is the slight
est chance of results
Price Is sos per Ounce.
War uses of platinum include the
making of sulphuric acids and the
completion of contact points of the
ignition system of airplanes, automo-
biles and telephone and telegraph in
struments. Substitutes have been
found for it in making sulphuric acids,
but it is almost indispensable for other
uses.
So acute is the world shortage that
1t has advanced from $45 to $1O5 an
ounce since the beginning of the war.
The condition has. become so critical in
this country that a survey of visible
supply has been made. but the results
have not been published.
Russian banks, which made high
loans on the output of the Ural Noun
tain mines. are understood to hold
large quantities of platinum, but the
chances of obtaining their supply is
regarded as uncertain. Seven hun
dred and fifty Troy ounces constitute
the largest annual production of plat
mum in the United States, while
Russia before the opening Of the war
produced as much as 100000 ounces in
a year.

Element in ore contracts with the

at an average rate of little over 9
per cent, and when the U. s. govern
trent can get applications for over
50, 100000 of loans within a couple of
months, is certainly admitting the OBJ
soleteness of the land boards methods
of doing business for Idaho.
Remedies Proposed.
Some of the most important rem
edies for the present condition of af-
fairs would seem to be: Get closer to
the people. Get the confidence of the
borrowing public. Make it easier for
the farmer to get his loan. Treat an
application from a purely business
standpoint as any banking board or
other loan agency would do. and avoid
casting suspicion on the motives and
judgment Of the borrower and likewise
on the boards appraiser. Make the
applicant feel he has right to ask
for a loan and that the state is not
comforting a favor on him. but that
| he is favoring the state, do not, make
the farmer feel he is looked upon as a
suspicious character or sort OF
criminal because he asks for loan.
? Advertise in each county that your
appraisers will be there at certain
time to take applications for loans
and to appraise the land. and better
yet, have an appraiser in each county
so that a farmer can go to him any
day and apply for loan. Pay the
appraiser for the work he does. and
have him go to the farmer and not
have the farmer wait until he acct
dentally hears the state has money to
loan, and then must write in for in
formation. Have the appraiser make
his appraisements while there, and II
there are any differences they can be
adjusted before the application Is sent
in to the board for its action. Then
show your confidence in your appraiser
and allow the loan on his recommen-
dation, or reject it altogether. This
method would save many misunder-
standings, and much delay.
Could Loan All Funds.
Another thing. If the board has ar
appraiser in each county. who know
his business and knows his county
he could take applications and make
his appraisements just as well in the
winter as in the summer, the same al
any loan company does, and the far
ner would not have to wait man,
months to get his loan. The presen
method of sending appraisers to- dis
tant unfamiliar counties, often cost
more in travelling expenses than
local mans pay would amount to.
IF the board can adopt these sug
gestions and incorporate them in 1T
rules, it win undoubtedly be able t
loan or invest every dollar Of this sur
plus cash on good security within
reasonable time. This will mean al
Increased yearly earning, of owe
$4,000 to the various public school
and state institutions. and conse
quent reduction of taxes in lik
amount. Whether the foregoing sug
gestions are adopted or not, the re
cords show that radical changes In tn
boards methods Of doing business ar
! urgently needed"

Mammoth Lease.

BAT Verona and others, who have
lease on the old workings OF the
Mammoth mine. are now working two
shifts in an effort to locate another
ore shoot. They have worked but one
shoot, shipments from which yielded
handsome profit. The upper work.
ings Of the Mammoth are famous for
rich ore. and 1t was from here that the
original owners obtained the means
to develop the mine.

Flotation Plant.
after spending good deal of time
and money in experimenting with diff.
ferent systems of treating our ores
We became convinced that the flota-
ton system of the Mineral Separation
company would make very mucf
better recovery, and In the END bt
more economical than any of the othel
systems which we have tried. W.
have therefore entered into contrac
with the Mineral Separation compan!
for the use of their several patents
and are now installing this system II
our mill. We are assured that this
process will make a recovery of 81
per cent or better, and that the grade
of our product will be increased te
so per cent.e
1.-THE installation Of the Minera
Separation company's process, and the
building Of the addition to our pre-.
sent mill will give US an increased
production of about 1000 tons pei
month, which will very materially in.
crease our earnings. The enlarge
ment of the mill, and the installation
of the flotation unit will be complet-
ed early in September.
Property Acquired.
During the quarter the company
acquired a majority interest in the
Silver state Mining company, which
adjoins the Interstate property. Elk.
tensive development work is beint
carried. on, and the ore reserves are
being maintained as heretofore. Th'
large three compartment shaft Is be-
ing driven from the No. level 25'
feet deeper, to what will be known a!
the No. s level. This added depth will
insure the company of a large tonnage
and will open up the property suffi
GENTLY so that further depth will no
have to be made for at least two years
Total Dividends.
During the quarter one dividend o
800 per share was paid, amounting
to $464,990.00. which brings the tota
