GOLD MAKING.

an aEtlcle III tue DenFef htpuu'
licau goes on to tell how one L. G
Byice, of Chicago is making gold
of antimony, and tells how he does
it with special patented furnace.
The article also says, For fear
somebody might cover tue anti
mony deposits, the company has
bought mountain OF II IN Utah y
The world is indebted to this artl-
Gle for the information that there Is
a mountain of it, or any consider
ablo deposit of it, in Utah.
| OF course the article winds up
with the old threadbsre pretcnce
that the company, OF which Mr..
Brice is president, has no stock for
sale. 1t would not be complete
without that. The ordinary fakir,
and the man at the head of this IL
an ordinary one, always thinks the
suckers are willing to hay, ''as n
special favor" good thing which
is not for sale.
Next we can expect to hear Of n
prospectus circulated from Chica-
60, oredltiug this article to the
Denver Republican, whose owner
il the Hon. N. p. Hill, late L ).
senator, manager of the Boston d
Colorado Smelling Co, aud chem
list of acknowledged great ability
This ls only in line with the usual
results in such cases By the
schemes Of fakirs, many good
man has been their innocent and
unwitting victim.
1t Is hardly necessary to say
that the L. G. Brice scheme is
without merit. When he applied
for patents Iaet spring, his claims
were Investigated 10y government
chemists, and tested aud pro
nounced worthless.
In this gold craze age there are
myrlads Of schemes for getting II, |
without earning Il 10y good, old |
fashioned, honest work. DIR Em
mons proposes to make it ont OF
silver. The average maulpulator /
proposes to make 1t by ways that
are shady, out OF other peoples
pockets, stores and possessions
Now we have, on the credit 1T the
New York Herald, which is not
given to yellow journalistic hes,
scheme, which Is the old
one Of getting gold from sea water.
But it Is as fishy rs the material
with which it deals. According to
the story, a reverend and deacon
solved the problem. No scientist
found out the scheme. The way
to do il was revealed to the rever
md in a heavenly vision, and the
deacon, being a man of means and
junction, provided the dollars to
pay for the golden grains. 1t ls
project which has advanced farther

They say they are doing It.
"The secret is ours and we pro-
pose to guard it. We have pur-
,hased two tide mills on the coast
4 Maine, where the tide :ises aud
alls twenty feet, and have 80 far

eli operating machines, through
which all the water as the tide ebbs
must pass from the dam.
"As result the gold and silver
