New York. July S1.-Klondyke has
a rival in Staten Island, IL what DR..
Stephen II. Emmens says is true. He
declares that gold has been procured
there at profit for the last three
months-not mined, but manufactured
out of Mexican silver dollars.
DR.. Emmens is scientist and
practical metallurgist. He claims that
after years OF experiment he has re-
allied the alchemist's dream the aru-
fetal production OF gold, and has fouLd
the philosophers stone, which he hes
called argentaurum (silyer-gold). 4
With argentaurum, which, he say
is n metallic element between sligo
and gold. DR.. Emmens claims to have
accomplished through the agency or
cold and impact the transmission OF
the white metal into the yellow.
DIR. Emmens, when he first announc-
ed that he had solved the problem or
transmutation, was laughed al, put
now. he says, his artificial gold mas
stood the test OF the United States as

however, no doubt of the location or
the line along this meridian and most
people in the locality know where 1t Is.
The decoration work was superlntenu--
ed by Gen. Duffield, superintendent OF
the coast and geographical survey
Gen. Duffield has spent considerable
time in Alaska. He expresses the opln-

that as a consequence more placer gold
will be found in that region than in

Duffield thinks the gold hunters on

telegraphed to the managers Of his

In sugar circles the opinion is gen.

eeded by all the planters to labor en-
ployed in sugar culture. The skilled
labor employed in the sugar houses
or refneries are paid according to the
price the sugar commands. and will
get an increase in wages Of from 20 TO
