ID YOU over try to buy a pound of plntlnum? Probnbly not, If you nrc tho ordinary man, for platinum Ib worth nearly threo times its weight In gold, nnd tho skilled tradesmen, who havo to hnvo It, aro about tho only ones who buy It by tho pound, or oven by tho ounce. Usunlly It Is sold by tho grain. But more than n pound of it-i four pounds nnd two ounces, to bo exact wns exhibited at The Journnl ofrico this morning. It was shown by Dr. Harry Lane, to whom It was sent nftcr "kicking around" as ho expres ses It. at tho homo of his undo In DonnlnB county for many yenrs. How tho bottlo found Us wny to Portlnnd, nnd where It camo from, mnko nn Interesting story thnt leads back to pioneer dnyB. About tho yenr 1853 two Mexicans, vagrants of fortune, enmo up tho Oregon const. At tho mouth of Whiskey Run, n short dlstnnco nbovo tho mouth of the Coqulllo river, thoy enmo upon n glitter of riches. Tho stream had washed a largo deposit pf gold-laden sand to tho beach. As soon as tho secret was out, thousands of treasure seekers flocked In, and Whiskey Run heenmo famous In tho mining history of that day. Sc-uuwinnn Find Gold. I3ut Gradually tho diggings wcro worked out, nnd tho pcoplo depart ed. Years afterward, a squawman, living In that country killed his squaw and becanto a fugitive. Ho roamed over tho mountains, keeping nway from tho habitations whoro danger lay. One day, about tho year 18C8, as he stopped to drink from a mountain stream, his cyo caught tho glitter of gold. Tlio secret o' Whis key Run wns rediscovered. Follow ing up tho lend, ho flnnlly iocntea tno place from which tho gold was being washed, at tho foot of a mountain. Tho yellow pnrtlclcs lny in bnnks of blnck sand. Ho staked a cinim, and with wealth at his command, ho ven tured out. In tho courso of tlmo tho squaw- man discoverer sold his claim, and Simon R. Lnno, undo of Dr. Lnno, boenmo tho owner. Mr. Lano, now about 80 years' of ngo, resides In tho mountains of Douglas county, no worked tho claim, and for a tlmo It yielded bountifully In gold. Tho minors, However, rotina m flcultlcs In washing out tho gold. Platinum was In tho wny. Platinum thon wns worth llttlo. It was moroly a nulsanco. Tho black sand carry ing tho g,old also carried tho' plati num, nnd it wns difficult to mnko tho gold and platinum pnrt company. Furthermore, tho plntlnum also car ried Iridium, llkowlso henvy and ubo less to tho minors of that day. Tho llttlo flakes of gold were flat. Tho platinum was flat, bin iho rand cubical In form, and whon tho sand was sent through tho slulco boxes tho gold nnd plntlnum would sink to gether to tho bottom of tho box. It was n groat pest. Gradually tho gold was worked out of tho platinum, nnd tho plntlnum thrown away. Per haps half a ton of It wns discarded. Lntor on tho platinum mnrkot be gan to pick up. Instond of being worth CO cents a ounco, It. wns quot ed tho othor day nt $40 nn ounco troy weight. That moans $552 a pound. Gold is worth only ?1C an ounco. Tho bottlo of platinum sent by Mr. Lnno Is diluted, adulterated, so to speak, with flakes of gold, so it will not assay as much as puro platinum. Some yenrs ago, Mr. Lano began collecting somo of tho plntlnum In n bottlo. Tho old mines woro bolng worked n llttlo and tho platinum was Rcranod from tho slulco boxes, whoro It persisted In gathering. Tho othor day ho sent tho uottio to I'ortinna to Dr. Lano. Resides bolng a curiosity tho bottlo Is worth $2,300 In gold. Ono might travel half around tho world without finding four pounds of platinum In ono "bunch." Platinum has sevoral peculiar nual Itlos, which mako It valuablo In tho nrts. Intense heat Is foqulrod to melt It, such as an electric furnace, nnd nn known acid will cut Into It. So It Is used for crucibles In malting other metals, by jowelors In mount lngs, where a tonnclous grip Is re- fliilrod to hold settings, and by don tlsts for "pegs." Formorly It was used for electric light fllnments, un til Edison or somo ono equally wlso, found that bamboo "mnklngs" would do as well, and bamboo costs but lit tle. Portland Journal.
