THE wrsHARr GOLD SAVES.
A very Successful Test of Its Work
fngs.

The wishsrt gold saving machine ior
working gravel md black sand has been
on exhibition In this city for the pass n'e
days and the Appeal is informed VIII re-
main until the middle Of the week. The
nachins is represented By the inventor
james N. wishsrt, Of Oakland. Gal. IL
has been subjected 70 two practicable
,es,s in this city. The gravel run through
the machine was brought from the Ls
Grande Ora mine, owned BY residents OF
Carson and Dayton.
Before the machine Was put In opera
ton Mr.. wishart called the attention OF
the crowd that had gathered 70 witness
the test that any one desiring TO pan she
gravel In order to know II il contained
gold before entering the Machine had .
right 10 do 30. He also stated that az soon
As the gravel was worked through the ma
chine she tsilipgs would become public
property, and he hoped that the people
would feel at liberty 10 pan them In order
10 test the machine. Quite Q number OF
men land one woman PANIED out por-
tions Of the gravel and showed that 1t con-
tanned gold. and all agreed that the gold
was very fine. As o IS the machine
was put in operation quite 8 number were
ready TO pan the tailings. The machine
was pronounced . success, ss no trsce oil
gold was found in them, the machine hsv-
ing saved il all.
The fret test was on Thursday, the
power being furnished by . small water
motor. On Friday the test was made BY
running the machine with man power In
order TO show the small amount Of power
required, and ID was easily demonstrated
that ont man could run it.
The machine, because OF its ingenious
mechanical construction, and resting on
ball bearings, 1-12 OF o horse power TO
operate 1t with success. therefore my OF
the following powers can be used: Elec-
tricity. steam, gasoline, gas, water. wind.
horse. man or dog power. 1t weighs 800
pounds. and by removing 9 few bolts and
screws IL can be easily packed so as TO be
transported over the Chilcoot o. any other
mountainous pass.
The machine saves all fine gold by q
unique mechanical contrivance and ANAL
gamstion. All coarse gold Is saved with
out being brought In contact with the
quicksilver. thus leaving the coarse gold
Its natural color.
The Wishart only requires Q constant
fow Of an inches Of water to work 10
yards Of gravel In twenty-four hours.
Where az inches Of water cannot be OBJ
tanned. by our system Of tanks, being first
allied. and using the water over again, IL
will cost but little TO have the water
hauled az 10 20 miles. as II only requires
Is gallons Of water TO replenish the
amount taken up BY absorption and evap-
Grafton Of one hours work with our No.
! 2A-inoh machine working 8 yards OF
gravel per hour. The amount Of water 10
rsplenish the absorption and evaporation
has been fully verified by the working OF
the machines In New Mexico.
II is not the old rocker movement but
IN oscillsting reciprocal motion, some
thing akin 70 the Fru.vanner movement.
and II lets no fine gold escape. II Is pro-
posed to introduce these machines In this
State and 10 Q few months no less than
100 ~ill be In operation. and efforts are
being made TO have the inventor manu-
facture them in this city.
Already numbers Of prospecsors are
getting ready TO investigate localities
where . scarcity Of water has kept back
the developing Of good fnds.-oarson Ap-
