PLATINUM. BY ALBERT S. WIL
KERSON, INSTRUCTOR GEO
LOGY, ALASKA COLLEGE
“That’s the kind I a.m gome to
buy next time,” murmured Larry as
he studied a cast-off catalogue.
“Yes, that’s the k;nd for me. Noth
ing v/ill be too good fr.r that dear
me of my heart.”
“Forget that darn deg of you.o,
jLairv Mow J suppose that you are
thinking of buying her a nice dia
mond-studded collar,” sarcastically
came from Jack.
“I am not thinking of the deg
this time I am thinking of the time
my gir! returned my ring. This
itine I am going to buy her a plati
num ring and she will like it so
|much that she will take me with
the ring. This is some time off,
i however.”
! “You. know. Jack, every time that
I see anything about platinum I
j think of the story told me some
wears ago. Tt seems that some
j rears ago several Americans paid a
I profitable visit to Russia, or to bo
more exact, to the Urals. These
men visited many homes and when
rhey were about to leave the coun
try they went around and bought
all the stove pipes that some of the
people had. And. naturally, they
bought them very cheap. Well, the
Ameneans knew that a large per
centage of the metals in the stove
pipes was platinum. I suppose that
the country people knew that plat
inum was in the pipes but did not
know its value—but the Americans
did. At that time platinum was
not at its present high price be
cause its uses were not well
known.”
Sounds good, if true. Sounds good
if not true ” said Jack, as he waited
for tarry to continue. He knew
that Larry was in a talkative mood
and that he might as well allow
him to run his course. They had
lived together a long time and thus
Jack had learned to recognize his
partner’s moods in advance.
“You know,” continued Larry,
“that platinum is much in demand
today. It is now worth about $68
an ounce if refined. And the price
will be com’ng up soon again. Only
a few months ago it was worth
around $100 an ounce.”
“Platinum was first used as an
j adulterant of gold, and in Russia it
was used for coinage for a numbei
! sf years. Now it is used for cruci
:
|bles and other chemical appartu^
j which are subjected to high tem
oera'ures or verv strong acids, it
j-'s also employed in dentistry, fo
Uectric lamps and electric appara
tus, in photography, for jewelry,
'and some other things that I can
inot "ow think of”
