Right on the heels of the rainmaker
and the cloudsmasher comes the wizard
who can locate ore veins and bodies as
accurately as il he had created the
earth and put the mineral bodies in place
himself. He is not Q fraud, but another
Edison, and through the application OF
science has discovered a method by which
mineral bodies may be located with more
accurateness than the old water-witcb
could find an underground spring or
stream with his witch hazel or his apple
switch. His name is Prot. L. j. Kim
ball, who styles himself the m~agno-elec-
trio mining expert, office 1919 fremont
street, Denver, Col. II he can do all
that is claimed for him the occupation OF
the prospector is gone, and with his little
pile he can employ the Professor to To-
cate the ore body for him, and at once go
TO taking out ore, instead Of cropping
blindly for days and perhaps years with
Indifferent success. The Denver News,
Of the Both ult. contained a long account
Of the experiment made by the expert
under the direction Of Geo. H. Batchel-
der, a prominent mining man Of Denver,
and q member of the Colorado Mining
Exchange. B~atchelder had no confidence
in the man, but together they went out
to the Emmons property, with the fol-
lowing result, as told by Mr.. Batchelder:
"Well, they went over to the mines,
He got out his instrument and went to
work, walking over the ground, looking
only at his instrument. The man with
him was familiar with a number Of the
lodes, and from a cynic skeptic be soon
became an ardent believer, for the Pro-
lessor told him where all the veins were
very accurately, and described them per-
fectly.
"He indicated q certain point, where
he said the ore would be found near the
surface. A pick and shovel were pro-
cured, and after digging only five fee. an
excellent body Of ore was found, and we
have already shipped a number Of car
loads from it without ~exhausting the
pocket. He indicated ore in a number
of places, and the places were carefully
staked out, and have been explored and
the ore found.
"In one place he indicated what he
called a pocket. 1t was a swell in the
vein. We staked all around it under his
directions, as indicated by his instru-
ment, marked the middle with a stake
and instructed the superintendent to dig
there.
"The superintendent was also a skep.
tic, and instead Of sinking at the point
indicated, he went to one side Of the
place marked. At a depth Of As feet he
struck a splendid body of ore on one side
of the shaft toward the spot marked by
the Professor, and we are now drifting
right into a magnificent body Of ore ex-
actly where the Professor indicated with
his stakes.
"He pointed out many mistakes W.
had made and showed US where one o
the best ore bodies was, and as far as VI
have investigated every assertion ha
been proven"
Many other places and mines were Wis
tied, and in every instance the exper
located veins, and discovered many IN
known ore bodies.
II an investigation should prove tn
truth Of these statements and that thi
is a genuine lore finder" the mimi
business in the West will be revolution
