value, trace only.
Secretary T. Grady of the Hum
boldt County Chamber of Com
merce, and representatives Of the
two Winnemucca newspapers,
watched the taking Of samples, had
charge of them subsequently and
took note of the assay runs, and
all members of the committee unite
in testifying to the very apparent
fact that there were no additions
to the samples, but rather that plat
mum has actually been substracted
therefrom. Back of this belief are
the little white buttons of metal
constituting exhibit One and which
are believed to be platinum. The
assayers making the tests give as
surance that they are actually plat
mum and that in the Platinum dis
trict rests a platinum prospect Of
amazing promise.
Now, if there are those who are
argumentative and are certain OF
their premise and can prove con-
trariwise the loeators of the W-B-H
claim, the press of this city and the
general public would be very glad
indeed to have the facts.

District IL Scene of Considerable
Activity and Claims Are Being
Stakcd Over a Very Wide
Stretch of Ground

venience of location, or what is
more probable, the public mind in
this part of the state believes in
the genuineness of the reported
platinum discoveries in the district
now bearing the name of the pre-
cious metal, but the fact remains
that activities are in progress at
Platinum at the present time that
duplicate in all of the essentials the
mining camp rushes of previous
days when Goldfeld, Tonopah, Raw
hide and others of the states great
camps arose almost over night and
became teeming centers of popula-
tion.
Tent houses are being erected, the
hills are marked by prospectors in
every direction, automobiles and
trucks ran back and forth between
the new district and Winnemucca,
carrying human and merchandise
burdens. 1t may be mentioned that
people here believe in the platinum
discovery.
The Silver State was represented
in the throng that went to Platinum
Sunday. Observations were made
from the standpoint of the unso-
phisticated layman. The seemingly
lnexhaustible dyke that juts out
from W-B-H claim was scrutinized
and the taking of samples there
from was closely observed. Motive
being lacking to "salt" samples of
rock did not lessen the vigilance put
forward and the results obtained
later by the Silver State Chemical
Company, in which platinum values
were Enthusiastically recovered from
the ore samples in question, proves
clearly to the minds of the several
men who accompanied the party
going forward to get rock for tests
that the discoveries here have been
questioned and surrounded with
doubt, and in certain instances, en-
phatic controverting statements,
through an Interior motive not plain
to the ordinary mind.
Platinum being an unusual metal
and the processes leading up to its
reclamation from ores being un-
known to the average person, it has
been comparatively easy to dispute
the assay tests and create appre-
hension in the minds of many who
live away from this city. On the
other hand different viewpoint is
entertained closer at home. People
here believe implicitly in the strike
and evidence of this belief is con-
tanned in the activities being car
ried on in the district. This dyke is
syenite in character, or felspar, and
is as diverse in its character as the
colors of Joseph's coat. A few
inches of distance suffices tc
change the character of the rock
uniformity of formation being
strangely lacking.
Just what development work will
bring about is, of course, a moo
question at this juncture. 1t is be-
lieved that sinking will uncover

The five samples taken Sunday
were run yesterday by the Silver
State Chemical Company, whose
chief chemist, L. E. Sewers, gave
results to this paper this morning

Can you suggest any exercise or

gestions about gaining weight and
gained 80 pounds in about four
months. l am told that the cleo

ny people have wrinkles. Fat folks

tie massage two or three times

complish more than electric star
messages, whatever they may be. -
Unreasonable.
Every question has two sides. In
the controversy about "colds." .....
The carrier theory is pretty well
established in diseases like typhoid
Is it not reasonable, then, that
many people carry about in the
nose or throat the germs of colds,
and only require something like q
draught or a vetting or some such
exposure to lower their resistance
so that the germs can attack them
Instead OF butting your head
against the stone wall Of human
experience. ..... e. G. L.
Answer-That's just the difhcul-
ty. It is not reasonable to imagine
that a draught or wet feet OF
change of weather should do any
such thing: and it is not reasonable
to pick on the respiratory disease
germs as waiting for such hypo-
thetical opportunity. That is jump
ing to 2 conclusion. 1t is true that
many apparently normal individ-
uals carry. for instance, pneumO-
cocci, in their mouths or threats
Forty years ago your argument
would have sounded all right
Trouble is, nobody has succeeded
in proving that such exposure
renders an individual more sus-
ceptible- to any respiratory disease
though goodness knows the believ-
ers in the exposure myth have
tried and tried, and failed.
