MINERAL FOUND
 CLOSE TO TOWN
EXTENSIVE DEPOSITS OF PIATl- MUM DISCOVERED EIGHT
 MILES FROM TOWN

VALDEZ, July q. Special to The Citizen) Extensive deposits of plati- mum, one of the most valuable minerals known, have been dis covered along the Richardson road, about eight miles from this town. Five pans, recently taken from the ground and sent to Seattle for assay, showed returns of eight and one half ounres of platinum, valued at $53.
 The ground is very easy to hydraulic and can be worked at an enormous profit, according to the experts who have recently eX- amined it. Further samples of the dirt sent out for asSaying are re ported to have prot values so big that the parties interested are wait ing to verify the report before giving out the news.
 The ground is practically all staked near the discovery but the nearby benches show the same deposits and there is still some ground available there. Many prospectors are in the hills but no report has been received from them.
