FLIER DROPS l IT REED ENGINE TROVBliE IS CACSE OF INFORMAL VISIT. Major Smith, oa Flight From San Francisco to Seattle, Lands in Easunoreland. Major Albert B. Smith of the United States air service landed on the Eroomfield aviation field yesterday afternoon while on the last lap of a flight to Seattle from San Francisco for the forestry service. He was ex pected to arrive at the Guilds Lake field by the Aero club, but engine trouble over Reed college forced him to land at the Eastmoreland field. Major Smith made the landing under difficulties without mishap. He stated that the field's large white arrow could be plainly seen, which saved him from a landing in rough ground. The only reception commit tee Major Smith had was a half-dozen Reed students who were attracted and found the pilot nonchalantly perched on his engine making repairs. They assisted the aviator in getting engine supplies. Major Smith left Eugene at 12:10 yesterday, after being delayed since Saturday on account of foggy weath er, and arrived in Portland at 1:20 o'clock. His flying time from San Francisco to Eugene was five hours. The major's craft, an BBS of British manufacture, is a type that probably has never been seen in Portland be fore. It is a single-Passenger biplane. with curved wing tips and speedy lines. Jt " develops 180-horse power, has a sped of 125 miles per hour and climbs to a height of 25,000 feet. The plane has a peculiar hum which dis tinguishes it from other planes. At first the major planned to pro ceed at once to Seattle, but weather conditions were not favorable, and. instead, he winged his way to the field of the Oregon, Washington Air plane company and put his machine in a hangar there to await better fly ing conditions. It is possible, he said last night at the Multnomah hotel, that he may be detained two or three days. "FIND" BELIEVED REAL Platinum Quartz or Highland Dis trict Resembles Sixes River Vein. GOLD HILL, Or., Feb. IS. (Special.) The recent press report from Marsh field of the uncovering of startling values of platinum ore in the Sixes river district in Curry county, and that experienced mining men gen erally were slow to believe the re ported find a reality, declaring that platinum had never been found in ore. can be controverted by the discovery of rich platinum ore in the Highland pold-quartz mine in the Gold Hill district as early as 1916. The foot-walls of the vein in the Highland mine are mingled with strata of schist and granite, while the hanging walls are made up of stratas of serpentine, schist and granite. The vein matter is mingled with three colors of quartz, rose, amber and blue. The platinum bearing ore is the blue quartz, which is quite dense, and is pitted throughout with small cavi ties, which are lined with a black- sooty mineral and filled with a de composed iron. Platinum is closely associated with serpentine' and the country rocks where the new find was made in the Sixes river district are identical with, those of the- High land mine.
