FIND PLATINUM IN COLORADO
Prospeetors Overlook Many Deposits
However, Because Of Unfamliiarity
With the Metal.

The metal platinum so much de-
sired in some Of the chemical indus
tries and for other purposes al the
present is valued so highly that there
is much interest in locating new
sources for the production Of this
valuable element. At present there
is undoubtedly a shortage in this
country in metallic platinum and its
salts, due to the fact that by far the
largest amount Of the worlds plati-
mum comes from Russia. Only a very
small amount Of platinum ia pro-
duced in this country, and that
comes mainly from the gold and all.
yer bullion reaneries, says Metal
lurgical and Chemical Engineering
A. Lynn de Spain, chief chemist Of
the Burnhart laboratories Of Denver,
states that platinum is found in the
auriferous sands Of the Iron Hill
placer, at Como, Colo. There is nc
doubt whatever that platinum alsC
occurs in other localities Of the state
as, for instance, in the black sand,
Of Clear creek. Little or no atten'
tion has been pai1 to the finding OF
platinum in Colorado, first becaus,
lho ,ich c,Id Nnds have cor,plotol,
obliterated the Importance of tn,
other rare metals, and secondly, du,
to the fact that the average prospec
tor is unable to recognize the meta
or ores carrying the platinum. 1t is
therefore, essential that more atten
tion be given to spread the character
istics Of this metal so as TO instigat
the search for this metal by the pros
! pectors.

ALL STATES NOW
SHARING IN THE
FEDERAL ROAD FUND

All the states Of the union have
availcd themselves Of the opporlun-
ity Of participating In the benefits
Of the federal aid road act, which
appropriated s75.OO0,OOO for the con-
structiOn Of post roads and $4,000
600 for forest roads, according Ia the
report Of the Director Of the office
Of Public Roads and Rural Engin-
eering, United States Department of
Agriculture. That the passage of
the act has stimulated road build
ing Ia shown by the fact that in 1915
there were approximately sil.000.-
900 Of State funds expended for all
highway purposes, and II Is csti-
mated that In the calendar year
1917 the aggregate expenditures of
State funds for this purpose will b.
at least S6O.OOO,OOO. A number of
the States have made specific ap-
preparations 10 meet federal aid dol
lar for dollar. Among these are
