Watch For Black Sand.
Prospectors should investigate
all deposits of black sand. The
United States geological depart
ment has found that this sand
usually carries platinum, which is
more precious than gold. Other
valuable minerals, useful in the
arts, are found in black sand,
which is plentiful ih the western
States especially along the big
streams. Platinum is worth $20
an ouhce. It will remain in the
pan with gold and can be dis
tinguished by its bright silver
color. The grains are usually
smaller than gold grains.

To our friends and patrons we
wish to announce that owing to
our increase in business and our
