HE HAS A NEw METHOD

 Of Cleaning Old Rubber of Its Impuri-
 ties, Making it Pure-The Discovery
 an Important One.
 w. r. Askam, superintendent of the Derby Rubber company has for some time past been experimenting with a new method of cleaning the melted rub ber of rubber boots, over shoes and of like nature, so that gum would be In it's present state, when boiled down.
 The Derby Transcript says: MT Askam is an expert in matters pertain ing to rubber, and has had charge of the large plant on the canal here for some years past The greatest draw back to reclaiming rubber from the ar ticles mentioned, heretofore, has been in cleaning it thoroughly and expedit- iously at the same time at a minimum price. This, Mr Askam has succeeded In doing, and doing so well that he has received several large offers from capi- talists all over the country, any one of which, if accepted, would make him in- dependently rich
 He has decided, however, to hold on to it for while, and should he choose to work the patent in his own right, he is bound to become very wealthy. The method is one for which rubber men have been hunting for years, and the inventor has struck it rich so to speak. l At present the details of the pro- cess are necessarily a profound secret, and are only known to MT. Askam. Sev- eral New York capitalists have been in correspondence with him, and some kind of a deal may be had at an early lcat
