called to the alleged platinum ore near
Indian Garden and collected a sample
that was afterward carefully assayed for
platinum by the bureau of the mint The
results were negative.
In 1915 H. G. Ferguson was detailed
by the geological survey to examine and
sample the claims near Indian Garden
that were being held as platinum bear
ing ground. The sampling was done with
great care, and about 80 samples were
assayed specially for platinum by Ledoux
& Co.. New York. As a check, portions
of five of these samples were assayed by
Il. Il. Burlingame q Co., Denver. None
of the assays showed any platinum.
In the summer of 1913 Mr.. Ransome
again examined the supposed platinum
deposits in company with the biologists
who had been engaged by the exploiting
company to report on them. He took
additional samples, and two of these, Sc
lected as representative of the alleged
ore, were divided into three portions.
One portion of each was submitted for
assay to the bureau of the mint, one por-
ton of each to the bureau of standards,
and one portion of each to the laboratory
of the United States geological survey.
The nature of the problem was outlined,
and the chemists were requested to take
all possible precautions to discover any
platinum present. None was found.
As a result of these Investigations it
may be safely stated that the supposed
platinum deposits in the Grand canyon
do not contain platinum--certainly not
enough to be of any value. The claim
that the platinum is present in some
form that would prevent its detection by
the various methods employed in the
three government laboratories mentioned
may be dismissed as an absurdity. Even
if the platinum were in a collodial con-
dition, q most unlikely suppostion, it
would still be platinum and would give
the chemical reactions characteristic Of
that metal.

PRAISED GENERAL PERsHING.
Senator Wadsworth of New York Has
Just Returned from France.

Wadsworth of New York, who recently

machine and in criticism of deficiencies
in supplies and equipment provided for

some people who doubted his ability to
do SO. He was determined to show them
that he eould-and he did"
Senator Wadsworth said possibly some

were unavoidable, but others unquestion-

Too Coed to Lose.

ice-iiner 10 hear them talk. Some of
them, many, in fact, were tirst.rate boys
before they went into the army, but
many others were not, and it is these
who especially attract attention now.
Erect. square. shouldered, broad -chested
and sef.possessed, they have the appear
ance of men who can find their way
around in the world. Talk with them,
and YOU discover that for the most part
they talk like men of education and eX
perence. They are unassuming, but
somehow convincing. And they have
definite sense of relationship and re-
sponsibility to the United States of
America.
Sometimes we wonder what the effect
Of the surprisingly sudden peace is to be,
or has been, on the movement looking to
universal military neutrality-suspicious. it
will give it added momentum, or wheth
er it will pile obstacles in its way. Then,
what is. or will be, the effect OF the
league of nations idea upon this move
ment? Are we going to settle down in
the comfortable belief that there is to be
no more war, or are we to learn the les
son of this one and prepare ourselves
to maintain our policy of security by
creating feet--not necessarily the larg-
est in the world-competent to make
good our Monroe doctrine, and by ere
ating the material for an adequate land
force by a system of training which in
cucates in every mind the idea Of the re-
sponsibilities Of citizenship.
It seems to us that the sight OF the
Homecoming men ought to answer the
question. These men haven't lost much
of life, and they have gained good
deal In fellowship, in travel, in dis
cipinc. often in technical training, in
downright education and in the sense of
direct relation to the government of the
United States they have acquired more
than enough to counterbalance all they
have lost in mere time and earnings, and
the country as a whole has gained the
aggregate of their individual acquire
ments,
And it seems to us that it would be
one of the soundcst investments the
country could make to perpetuate in
the form of universal national service
this incident of the war. Let alone the
insurance value of trained citizenry,
there is the investment value of genera
ton after generation of American youth
mingling on the ground of common serv-
ice without reference to class or creed
or racial stock, and learning to think
in terms of responsibility to the nation,
as we'll as leaving much of personal,
practical value to them.
The nation cannot afford to lose in
few years what it has got in its few
months of war through the operation of
the selective law. 1t ought to clinch
these gains by enaetng universal
training law, be the outcome of the peace
conference and the fate of the league OF
nations idea what they may.-Manches-

Do Not Guess in Cooking.

There are certain basic principles in
volved in all cooking. These if strictly
followed win insure perfect results, There
is no guess work in scientific cooking
Foods should be prepared carefully, al
lowing no waste.
Starches should be cooked long and
thoroughly, proteins kept below the boil
ing point and fats at a temperature low
er than the deeomposing point
The new housekeeper starts with these
points in mind, and even the simplest
meal can be made most attractive and
tasty, says the Springfield Republican,
1t is a simple thing for a person to serve
one food hot, but it appears to be quite a
problem for many housewives to serve
everything hot at the same time, Very
often one or two articles of food come to
the table lukewarm; for example, coffee
and soup. Just as hot foods should be
hot, so should cold foods be properly
chilled. Salad greens and the salad mix
ture itself should be crisp and cold.
The object of cooking is twofoid. For
esthetic reasons we add to the attrac
tiveness of the food and bring out new
favors or change the original taste. For
hygenic reasons we sterilize foods to
some extent in order to preserve them
longer. says the director Of food economy
for Armour & Co., certain combinations
of food ruin the flavor of all Again
certain combinations are not only at
tractive but create an appetite.
Too much cannot be said about proper
combinations as regards food value. For
instance, just the other evening when
the main course at dinner was served on
the plate was mashed potatoes, boiled
rice, and mashed turnips. Rice pudding
was the dessert at the same meal,

The majority Of people have known
very little about these food principles
until the recent food conservation move

This has taught her to buy more care

PLATINUM FIND NOT CONFIRMED
There Is Chance That Ore from Arizona
Grand Canyon May Have Been
"Salted."

For many years it has been reported
that deposits of platinum ore occur in
the Grand canyon, Arizona, in the vicin-
ity of Grand Canyon station. J. f. Kemp,
in his report on the Geological Rela-
tions and Distribution of Platinum and
It's Associated Metals" published in 1902
Jas bulletin 1913 of the United States geo
logical survey, states:
Specimens of shady rock have been
sent to the East from some locality near
Williams, Ariz., which have yielded as
says for platinum. The cIays in Gaia
ract canyon, branch of the Grand can
yon, are also said to contain platinum"
Professor Kemp, in response to in
quiry, states that he never visited the
supposed platinum locality in the Grand
canyon and that the first sentence of the
above quotation refers to assays made by
the S. S. White Dental Co. of material
which was sent to that company by
someone unknown to him and which
may, of course, have been "salted"
From time to time the supposed pres
ence of platinum ore in the Grand canyon
has received new advertisement, and re-
Gently stock in a company organized to
exploit the alleged deposits was offered
for sale in an alluring prospectus where
in were published assays of the so-called
ore that showed as much as "a ounces
of platinum to the ton. 1t has been as
serted that the platinum occurs in a
collodial state and that this explains the
failure of standard methods of assay to
show its presence.
The claims referred to in the prospec.
tus mentioned are near Indian Garden, a
locality well known to visitors to the
canyon as a point on the Bright Angel
trail, about 3.25c feet below the brink of
the canyon and visible from Ell Tovsr.
Considerable prospecting has been done
in this vicinity on both sides of the trail
by means of open cuts and short tunnels.
The supposed platinum bearing deposits
are beds of green and red ferruginous
sandstone that constitute a subordinate
part of the geologic formation known as
the Bright Angel shale, OF Cambrian age.
In 1911 +. L. Ransome of the United
States geological survey, while examiu-
ing certain supposed copper deposits in
the Grand canyon, had his attention
