NEW WORN FOR PROSPECTUS.

During peace time the ores which are
sought most assiduously are those Of the
precious metals and especially Of gold and
silver. These are what nine out Of ten
prospcctors seek primarily, and are the
cause of al the most spectacular develop
ments Of our mining industry. In the
present crisis, these metals are Of the
slightest interest The only precious
metal which IS vital 10 our success in the
war is platinum The Geological Survey
has made careful estimate OF the existing
stores of this metal. and has found that
they are dangerously small Il advocates
not only that the use Of platinum in the
manufacture oi jewelrv be stopped bur
that all persons who own platinum ewelrv
at once send it to rehners who will g,Iara11-
tee that the metal be used for necessary
industrial purposes. The possession Of 4
platinum cigarette ease or mesh bag should
be recognized as unpatrIotic One OF
the government biologists who was en-
gagged IN platinum Investigations was SO
impressed with the scarcity of the metal
that he had all the platinum links re-
moved from 8 watch chain of alternating
gold and platinum and sent the metal to a
rehner We are able to produce lust
about one per cent of the platinum which
We need, and there are no known IN
developed deposits, although survey ge-
ologists are now seeking them in Alaska
The Geological Survey has been able
to render another important service to !
the nation by reason of its close touch with |
the mining industry 1t is probably the |
one agency In the nation which knows /
exactly how much of every mineral is /
being produced Its services to the fuel |
administration have been invaluable, as |
it keeps daily record Of coal production !
while of aluminium, copper, lead and |
zinc production it has weekly reports |
Various government war boards are able |
to obtain from It on short notice accurate |
reports upon the quantity available Of |
any mineral material which is needed.
One OF the most interesting contribu- |
lions OF the survey to the service of the !
country is that of men The war has |
created great need for trained topograph- |
ers and topographic engineers. These
are needed TO make military maps. often
from airplanes to map and select camp
sites, to place batteries. and point guns
The survey has furnished more than $50
technically trained topogrsphers TO the
army, and more than 100 of these have
received commissions The demand Is
not yet met, however, and the survey is
conducting school IN which promising
candidates axe gwen special training to
