Augusta Chronicle: There is a young
man IN Aiken who is happy to-day. A
Mr.. Emanuel, of that charming town, is
the fortunate owner of a process which is
coveted by eastern manufacturers TO such
au extent that they offered a cool million
dollars for the rights of using the process.
A Chronicle reporter endeavored to learn
the facts in the city last night aud as far ns
he was successful is shown below: Alum-
mum, the metallic base of alumina. metal
which figures to the extent of 60 per cent.
IN kaolln, has heretofore been
obtainable only through the use
OF acids. So expensive has been
the process that the metal costs So and 80
per pound to secure. 1t is as white as sill
yer, and extremely light, while possessing
the strength of steel. Sc costly is it that in
only such cases as its use is operative is it
used. MIR. Emanuel has been experiment.
Ing for some time with the process, which
he has now completed. The Smithsonian
Institution experts have written Mr.. Eman-
uel that his process will place aluminium
within reach of the arts The chem
lists of the Ohio University have
also written Mr.. Emanuel that the
process described by him is practicable,
and that they are surprised that some one
has not previously hit on the method. The
offer of Sl,000.000 for the process comes
from eastern parties, who, several weeks
ago, offered $650.000, and now raise their
bid. Mr. Emanuel it is understood, is
holding off that he may hear from Euro
pean parties who are already interested in
aluminium works. 1t is more than prob
able that the process will be used extern
sively in the kaolin beds about Augusta,
thus creating another important industry.
