cess Requires -Four Days and In

Feature of It-worked go
Years on His Scheme.

CmcAeo. Nov. "a II the predictions
of L. c. Brice and those associated
with him in the National Metallurgi-
cal company are verified he will on
Saturday next have demonstrated that
he has solved the chemists riddle and
holds in his hands the secret of trans
muting the baser metals into pure
gold
Yesterday at the company's plant,
Thirty-ninth street and Lowe avenue,
the process was begun which is ex-
pected to result on Saturday in har-
vest of S13, 400 worth of gold 900 fine
from an original product of antimony
and lead worth only $3.50 The cost
Of the labor engaged in the work Will
bring the entire cost of the process up
to about $500.
The distinctive feature of the pro-
cess is the destructive distillation of
the metal antimony by intensely
heated atmospheric oxygen. The
crude metal is th.st subjected to an
intense heat, then antimony is carried
through tunnel 1O5 feet in length
into IA series of iron pipes 600 feet
lying, aud elected into steel build
ing provided with bags for collect
ing the resultant oxide, which is
collected on a cloth with the nap
on the inside The product is shaken
into receiving bags, moulded into
blocks, and then submitted TO tenn
pereture of 3. 900 degrees Fahrenheit
FOR forty-eight hours. Then comes
the smelling or refining process which
lasts sixteen hours, from which re.
suits the gold and silver 60 the amount
of 81, $50 ton. The process requires
four days.
Mr.. Brice, who is metallurgical
chemist, has devoted twenty years to
the study of this problem and says the
present process is no experiment, as
he has conclusively proved on a small
err scale the success of his theory. The
plant cost S25, 600.
After much study he was struck
with the fact that antimony always
contains minute quantities of silver
and gold From that fact he struck
out the theory that antlmony was the
result of an arrested process, and that
If the process could be discovered and
resumed the antimony would all turn
to silver and gold.
