WANTS ANOTHER TRIAL.
Mr.. Brice Still Thinks He Can Make
Gold Out of Base Metals.

Gold Out of Base Metals,
WASHINGTON, May 25.-Mr. Z. c. Brice,
whose claim to a process for creating gold
and silver from chemically pure antimony
and other base metals has been under in
vestigation by a committee of mint experts
with only negative results has made appli-
cation to the commissioner of patents for
another test In his request he asserts
that the old commission did not follow his
directions in important particulars. In
gradients, he alleges, We're used which he
had told them were inimical to his process,
and that he himself produced gold from
chemically pure antimony sulphur and iron
after the commission had failed with the
same materials, and that they then de-
clared that by Whatever process gold and
silver might be obtained from any ma
terials it simply showed that there was gold
and silver in the materials before the
process was used.
In a letter to Mr.. Preston. the director
of the mint, Mr.. Brice strongly protests
against some of the acts of the commission
by which he claims his process was unfair
ly tested, especially in the use of alkalies,
which rendered the tests valueless. Mr..
Brice is entirely dissatisfied with the eX-
periments made and holds that great injus-
tice has been done him. What action Will
be taken by the commissioner of patents
and the director of the mint is not known,
but the treasury officials insist that they
made fair investigation and according to
the process of the claimant.
