"Hot Heels" starts with a small

Delicious comedy is scattered
all through the story which was

narized by Harry o. Hoyt.
A small town hotel owner buys
the contract of a road show ac-

love, and takes the troupe to Ha-

The Steeplechase in this pic
ture is without a doubt the most
thrilling horse race ever filmed.

many delightful surprises in Hot

satisfactory entertainment.

innm is obtained from placers,
however. 1t is taken out by dredg-
ing to large extent, the samc as
gold. With platinum, are always
found other members of the plat
mum family" such as palladium,
iridium, osmium, etc"
Does platinum ever occur in
veins other than the quartz veins
you menticned?" inquired Jack.
Where Contained
Platinum is contained in GER
tain nickel deposits as at Sudbury,
Ontario; in copper veins, as at
Butter, Montana, and elsewhere;
also in certain veins in which gold
is associated with copper and 9th
er base metals. In these the plat
mum minerals occur only in min
ute quantities unrecognizable in
assays of the ores and are detect-
ed and recovered only in the final
refining of copper and nickel, or
of gold bullion. Platinum con
tributes scarcely at all to the com
mercial value of such ores, and no
deposit of this type has ever been
worked for platinum alone. Ii is
erratically and discontinuously dis
tributed in some dikes High as
says from specimens are obtain
able from some Of these bikes, and
for that reason these occurrences
have repeatedly created temporary
excitement at different times, but
platinum has never been found in
commercial quantities in them. No
as said before. If you want plati-
mum you must find it concentrated
in placers if you want it in com
mercial quantities"
'Is there not platinum being
mined from bikes in South Afri-
ca?" Jack continued to inquire of
his laxative partner.
Pipe Out Again
"a few years ago" answered
Larry, after a moments reflection
and after relighting his pipe for
the tenth time, "a few years ago,
platinum was found in South AT
RIGA as you state. The occurrence
of this comparatively rare metal
is in the Transyaal. Years before
its presence was detected in the
heavy residue from the stamp
mills that crushed gold ore. Some
of the ore assays at the rate of

ounces per ton, but the distribu-
ton of THE metal is extremely
irregular. A core of granite is
surrounded by a band of norite, a
variety of gabbro, and in this no
rite, platinum is found in three
types of deposits, namely: % in
pipes or lenses of dunite or div
inc rock, CD in an extensive band
of norite, and CD in alluvium de-
rived from the erosion of the pri-
mary deposits just mentioned. The
occurrence of the metal in part of
the district is unusual in so far as
it is associated directly, not with
an ultra-basic eruptive, but with
quartz in a fault-fissure traversing
sandstone and felsite. How rich
some of the impregnations are, is
indicated by the fact that one mine
of dunite, for example, 44x75 feet,
assayed two ounces per ton at a
depth of 70 feet. Particles of
crystalline platinum as big as the
head of match have been found
in this ore. Yes, indeed, Jack,
these lode deposits are being work
ed as well as the placers.
Russia and Colombia are the
main producers-comes from plac-
ers, too. In the United States there
IS small production in California
and Oregon and couple of other
States. Alaska has produced some
platinum. On Dime Creek, in
the Seward Peninsula Country, It
has been found by the larger part
of the Alaskan output of platinum
metals was palladium recovered
from a copper lode on Kasaan Pc
in the Ketchikan district.
Recently some platinum was re-
covered from Goodnews Bay, at
the mouth Of the Kuskokwim
Like Silver Grains
I'm the gold pan, platinum APP
pears like grains of native silver.
In color it varies from a silver
white to dark gray or even black
1t is heavier than silver or gold
and it is as soft as copper. In dia-
mond drilling, or churn drilling,
I've seen the Planners get excited
and think that there was platinum
in the drill sludge but these finds
are generally fragments of steel
worn off the bits. A magnet test
will decide the. matter or il there
is any doubt, the suspected sub
stance should be boiled in nitric
or hydrochloric acid. Platinum is
unaffected by these acids but steel
or silver will rapidly dissolve"
Jack interrupted with: 81 under
stand that the Salt Chuck Mine
near Ketchikan was originally a
copper mine and that they ship
ped copper ore to the smelter for
some time before platinum and
palladium were discovered in the
ore. Now possibly we might have

ry as he studied cast-off cata-

me. Nothing will be too good
for that dear one of my heart"
Forget that darn dog of yours,
Larry Now | suppose that you
are thinking of buying her a nice
diamond-studded collar" sarcasti-
cally came from Jack.
81 am not thinking of the dog
this time, Jack. | am thinking
of the time my girl returned my
ring. This time | am going to
buy her platinum ring and she
will like it so much that she will
take me with the ring. This is
some time off, however.
You know, Jack, every time
that | see anything about platinum
| think of the story told me some
years ago. 1t seems that some
years ago several Americans paid
a profitable visit to Russia, or to
be more exact, to the Urals. These
men visited many homes and when
they were about to leave the coun-
try they went around and bought
all the stove pipes that some of the
people had And naturally they
bought them very cheap. Vol
the Americans knew that large
percentage of the metals in the
stove pipes was platinum. | sup
pose that the country people knew
that platinum was in the pipes but
did not know its value-but the
Americans did. At that time
platinum was not at its present
high prices because its uses were
not we'll known.
Good Both Ways
Sounds good, if true. Sounds
good even if not true" said Jack,
as he waited for Larry to con-
tinue. He knew that Larry, was
in laxative mood and that he
might as well allow him to run his
course. They had lived together
long time and thus Jack learned
to recognize his partners moods
in advance.
"You know" continued Larry,
that platinum is much in demand
today. 1t is now worth about SOS
an ounce and about S78 an ounce
if refined. And the price will be
coming up soon again. Only
few months ago it was worth
around 500 an ounce.
Platinum was first used as an
adulterant of gold, and in Russia
it was used for coinage for num-
Der of years. Now it is used for
crucibles and other chemical APP
paratus which are subjected to
high temperatures or very strong
acids. 1t is also employed in
dentistry, for electric lamps and
electric apparatus, in photography,
for jewelry, and some other things
| cannot think of now"
rs platinum ever found in the
native state as gold is found?s in
quired Jack
Commercial Quantities
THAT is about the only way it
is found, Jack" answered Larry.
ut is the only way it comes, as far
as commercial quantities are con-
cerned. Commercial quantities are
the only quantities that | like to
talk about. Yes, platinum is
found as pure platinum, just as
gold is found as pure gold. 1t is
commonly found in placer deposits,
but its original home is in associa-
ton with chromite in peridotites,
or in serpentines derived from the
peridotities. In the Urals the
mother" rock was a dunite or
Divine rock. Usually the original
home is rather poor. In the
Urals the dunite contained plati-
mum averaging only a grain or less
per cubic yard of the fresh rock. In
Nevada it has been found in quartz
veins while in Mumatra it occurs
in contact-metamorphic deposit.
