  We show detailed magnetic absorption spectroscopy results of an in situ
cleaved high quality single crystal of magnetite. In addition the experimental
setup was carefully optimized to reduce drift, self absorption, and offset
phenomena as far as possible. In strong contradiction to recently published
data, our observed orbital moments are nearly vanishing and the spin moments
are quite close to the integer values proposed by theory. This very important
issue supports the half metallic full spin polarized picture of magnetite.
