How rich some of the impregna- .ions are, is indicated by the fact that ore mine of dunite, for exam pie, fl 75 feet, assayed two ounces per ton at a depth of 72 feet. Par ticles of crystalline platinum as big as the head of a match have been found in this ere. Yes indeed, Jack, these lode deposits are being worked as well as the pIacers."
 Pusela s1lo Columbia are the main Froducers-cones from plac- CTS too. Tn the United States there ie Q small Droducaion ir California and Oregon and q couple of other States. Alaska has produced some platinum. On Dune Creek, in the Seward Peninsula country, it has len found but u larger part of fhe Alaskan output of platinum metals was palladium recovered from a copper lode on Kasaan Pen- insuIa in the Ketchikan district. Recently some platinum was recov- cred from Goodnews Bay at the s1louth of the KUskokWim.
 Tn the gold pan, platinum ap- pears like grains of native silver In color it varies from a silver-white to dark gray or even black. It is y1eavier than silver or gold and it is as soft as copper. In diamond drilling or churn drilling I've seen the banners get excited and think that there " as 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 if there is any doubt, the suspected substance should be boil ed in nitric or hydrochloric acid. Platinum is unaffected by these acids but steel or silver will rapidly

 Jack interrupted with: T under stand that the Salt Chuck Mine near Ketchikan was originally a copper mine and that they shipped the ccpper ore to the shelter for some time before platinum and palladium were disc overed in the ore. Now possibly we might have platinum in our ore, and if so, how are we going to know?"
 There you go. Jack!" said Larry with a hearty laugh. Every pros pector believes there must be plati- mum in his ore and if one assayer doesn't find it he will try them all. When the assayer makes a fire as say for the gold and silver in our ere he will if he is a skilled m watch the lustre of the silver-gold bead which he secures.

 "A sample test to detect the n ence of platinum is to dissolve t',e substance in a mixture of three parts of hydrocl1loric acid and one part Of nitric acid. Then to this add solution of ammonium chlo- tide and if platinum is present, smal! yellow crystals will form"
