During the year 1907 the price of platinum declined in this coun­try and abroad, according to the table which follows:

UNITED STATES.
Consistently with this decline in price, the production in the United States, which had risen with the high prices of the year before, showed a decline from 1,439 ounces of fine platinum, valued at $45,189, in 1906, to 357 ounces, valued at $10,589, in 1907. Of the 357 ounces produced in the United States in 1907, 300 ounces came from Butte, Del Norte, Humboldt, Placer, Plumas, Trinity, and Sacramento counties, in California, and 57 ounces from Coos, Curry, and Josephine counties, in Oregon. The domestic production since 1880 is shown in the following table:
