Worlds PlatinurH Supply The maih source of the world’s sup plies of platinum is normally Russia, which once had an output of 300,000 ounces per annum, derived from gravel beds. As a result of the war the price of platinum Is about three times what It was formerly, and the temptation has been considerable in this couptry to boom platinum mining. To this end all sorts of properties have been pronounced to be capable of producing platinum from ores of vari ous kinds, and even shales and sands. As a matter of fact, this country Is practically destitute of platinum, ns It is of nickel and tin, and the cases in which the United States bureau of mines has been able to check claims advanced have revealed nt the most practically unworkable traces of the metal,” writes Engineering.
