From time lo time crimen liavo come to tlio earn of iho offeir.s of the bu reau (f reports tin to the relation o the hureau to what may he railed llm platinum' Ihhuc. nn will he to the effect that the bureau ih fathering the platinum idea, and lie cannot mip port it for that reason. The next will say that the hureau Is denying the same Issue and that therefore lie can not Mipport it. Hoth are wrong of course, merely making an excuse for pampering their own short sighted selfishness by withholding support from an organization which has for Its only aim and purpose the benefits of the mining industry, and hence the community at large. The bureau is an association of men Interested in the development of ,the mining Industry here. Its membership Is composed of i ordinary citizens, not of assaycrs, knockers or promoters, though all have n place within it. It Is the first : attempt here In co-relate the diverse ! minded Individualistic men who are the pioneers of the industry and who have suffered greatly in a day of combination by their lack of unanimity and cohesion. Any attempt to discuss even a moot question by suh an or ganlwi lion would not only prove sui cide, but would settle nothing. There fore the bureau has never taken sides, ;o to snerik. on innnv siibiecis nnnn which a , diversity of opinion would blind one side in the honesty of the other. The mining Indust ry has suffered from many Ills, not the least of which Is the dropping of common sense and logic in the diseu.wion of matters re lating lo the industry, one man ad vocates stamps for reducing ore. an other a rod mill, another rolls. They meet, and like owners of three dif ferent makes of automobiles, instead of endeavoring to learn something about his own method, the only thins: of value to him. each puts in nil his efforts to proving (he other fellow wrong. A more absurd waste of effort Is hard to imagine. So it is with re gard to judgments of ore bodies, with methods of mining, with determination of ore content. The quarrels, for they have ti.vually degenerated to that, are of no value either to those engaged, or lo the industry. As lo platinum, certain common ground may be found upon which all may meet. There is platinum hero in the pincers, and it may come from the lodes. if so, those bodies may be found and recovery made from them. I'pon this broad base all may stand. Any person who Is making an effort to solve u ny melalurgival problem, however many mistakes he may make. is performing a public service. Probably the great e.st heat has been shown In the discussion of as- says. Knough almost to melt up all (he plalinum In the district. Almost lost (o sight Is the fact that an as I say at Us beit is only a trivial index. ! It Is of no vatuo unless in volume I enough to drawn an average conclu sion. One assay is of about as much vnlue to determine an oie body, as ono feather to clothe a hen. If we were to keep this In mind, the few assays that have been made, altogether, and Incomprehensible- largo ore body to which they are by some to be held nn index whether they are all wrong, all right or partly wrong and party right, would not be n very important factor In the Industrial development if our community which is the only matter of real importance. Assayers are like the professional men. or other scient ists, they alt make mistakes. They are influenced like other human being by prejudice, personal limitations, self in terest, a ml pride. I n other words, i they are human, with about the same average intelligence as their critics plus a belter chance to know the truth I about certain little known matters. firanlH Pu-n Ileum. K. L.

Mr. Carter of the ltuzzard mine spent a few days In town. Hyron Plckard of the I.'. S. bureau of mine safety and rescue work spent all day Snturday in town regarding matters of his department. He visited the plants of Iancastcr, and Lull, and expressed himself on his departure to the effect that the bureau and any individuals who are making a real ef fort to solve the economic nnd metal urgica problems of this district should receive every possible assistance. He expects to return in August with n demonstration truck for an extended slay, In order to give those wishing It a course in mine rescue work, and safety appliances. This department has (lone a great deal for the mining industry In the yay of safety work, and although there are no deep mines here, this will be of interest to the mining men. Mr. Railey is still In thn north, hut work is going on on the roads to the mine. At the next meeting of the mining bureau it Is hoped that Ihero will be a good attendance. The proposed bill in the legislature, making an appro priation for the benefit of this dis trict, reports on the recent develop ments here, on the newly organized Pacific Coast Mine bureau, and a do termination of the scope of the activi ties of the bureau for the next two years, will he taken up. oiskoon AomcrirrriAf, col- LKCU COltVAUJNS, Feb. 17.
