biggest wine IN the world May be IN
Arkansas.
Arkansas possesses what may prove
to be the largest platinum mine in the
world according to the belief of some
Investigators whose findings are
chronicled in the Commercial Appeal
Of Memphis, Tenn. The article states
that an assay of the ore taken from
the field near BatesviIle lends much
strength to the hope that the Arl1an-
sas mine may be of great value. The
press dispatch follows:
What may prove to be the largest
platinum mine in the world has been
found near here" says n. A. Stratton
OF Denver, Colo. who arrived in In
dependence county to make an in
vestigation of the mine discovered by
Pat Adams, near Sulphur Rock.
"Mr. Sratton is a chemist of inter
national reputation and one who pro-
duced some of the most powerful ex-
plosives used during the late war,
and his presence in this section is
due to a recent trip made by one of
the owners of the Sulphur Rock mine,
who went to Denver with about 400
pounds of ore to have it assayed, and
while in Denver met Mr.. Stratton
When the mineral was assayed it
proved to contain a very large amount
of platinum. After his assay Mr.
StrattOn arranged to visit this section
for a further inspection and to get
samples fresh from the mines. He
gives ont the statement that the for
mer assays made by a number of as
savers. as well as himself from over
the United States are correct"

GOLD IN PHILIPPINES
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
RICH DEPOSITS NOW BEING DE-
VELOPED BY AMERICAN
CAPITAL.

Chinese writing of as long ago as
the third century report gold as the
chief product OF Luzon. the largest
island of the Philippine archipelago.
writes Frank b. IngersoH. president
or the Philippine Exploration COM
pany
Activity in mining received a Sc
we're setback by the prohibition i'm
posed by the Spanish government in
1854 1t was shortly prior to this
time that European capital (mostly
BRITISH began to make mining in
Vestments in the Philippine islands.
These were confined almost entirely
to Camarnes Norte. One British con-
Germ planned operations of a large
scale. Several quartz properties
were opened up and considerable ex-
pensive machinery imported from
England. Just when the project was
getting fairly under way the Philip
pine instruction of 1896 broke out.
The English engineers IN charge fled
for their lives and the machinery and
mine workings alike fell into disuse
and decay However, some of the
machinery parts are still in evidence
and have recently been made use of
in operations.
American Soldiers Prospect.
From the outbreak of the insurrec-
ton until the establishment of civil
government by the United States in
the islands in 1901 mining languished.
Nevertheless during the latter part
of this period venturesome spirits

army Of occupation-were busily
Although they made eff
forts to stake and record claims by
proceedings patterned after the prac-
Ice in the United States, there was
no legal recognition of such steps I'M
Ill after the passage of the Philippine
dill (the act of congress of July 1,
5000, which put a new mining code
nto effect.
From that time there has been a
steady growth in the mining indus
ny Notwithstanding that there has
,een a scarcity of capital, a lack of
facilities, of reliable
abor and of competent superintend-
nee and insufficient and to some ex-
ent unfriendly laws, together with a
want of appreciation both by the gov

OF the considerable number of min

listed the islands not one has con-

This article has been limited to gold
mining for the reason that there has
cen almost no mining development

oposits of various kinds throughout
