PlATINU M.

According to figures compiled by j.
M. Hill. of the United States geologi-
cal survey, department of the interior,
only sos ounces of crude platinum was
sold by placer mines in 1917. This is
less than the sales in 1916 by about
100 ounces. The imports of crude
platinum amounted to 1921 ounces,
not counting the $1,000 ounces of
Russia crude platinum which was re-
ceived by the government late in De-
cember.
During 1917 refners made about 49,
600 ounces of platinum, 1900 ounces of
palladium 1893 ounces of osmiridium,
and 30 ounces of iridium, which can
be called new metals" OF this
amount about 400 ounces probably
originated from domestic materials.
The saving of scrap platinum Of all
classes resulted in much larger re-
coveries of secondary platinum metals
than in previous years, a total of r.
600 ounces being recovered, as COM
pared with $4,000 ounces in 1916.

DEALINGS OF MONTANA MAJOR

WASHINGTON.

Captain, now Major d. Gay Stivers.

da Copper Mining company and in
that capacity visited Wallace several
times in connection with preparing
the lease and bond held by that COM
pany on the Douglas. He subsequent
ly acquired considerable stock in the
Douglas company and is now one of
its directors. The following stories of
his military service are therefore not
without local interest:
Comes Of Soldier Stock.
Major d. Gay Stivers, the Montana

rendered his services to the secretary
Of war more than year ago and was
commissioned as a major in the quar-

the arts is increasing; in 1915 il was
29,S91,271 ounces, an Increase of 6,000,-
600 over 1908. This is due largely to
the cinema business, which is expand
ing. Thus new conditions rendered
imperative some cooperation between
the American and British governments
in order TO stabilize silver and to en-
sure a sufficient supply for the ext
gencies arising from the war. That

general could only talk and glare, and
that ended the matter. 1t is of record
that he hired a taxi.

growled. Rookie, indeed, Why, my
boy, l have served more time in the
guard house than you have in the

Stivers was very keen to get away
to the front. He was offered a lieu
tenant colonelcy if he would remain
in Washington to do bureau work,
where his efficiency and thoroughness
was much appreciated by the war de-
partment. He came back on this ten
der with an offer to accept demo-
ton in rank to captain If he would
be allowed to go to the front at once.
But he went away with the rank of
major and his friends are confident
that he will soon win higher place.

FAVOR TO DUTCH
That's Americas Answer to
Holland in Shipping Seizure.
Rights of Little Country Guard

Washington. April 13.-America
adheres to its long established friend
ship and regard for small nations and
has actually applied it in the case of
seizure of Hollands shipping.
This is, in part. Americas answer to
Hollands objections to the requisi-
tioning. This government was within
it's rights under international law; it
is providing goods which are for Hol-
lands welfare and it acted only after
German threats had hampered Hol-
land in fulfillment of a temporary
agreement which would have made
reQuisitioning unnecessary. AS to
Hollands objection that she had been
used unfairly thru denial of bunker
coal and grain for her ships in Amer
lean ports, the formal reply points out
that these commodities were Amer
ica's and sadly needed for her own
purposes. Moreover, at the time, fur

effect, guarding her against the
