tomorrow:
"Prof. Carmichael, the expert appoint

the professor does not hesitats to say In
substance, that it Is fake He admits
that 1t is possible to find traces OF gold
in the aooumulators devised by Jernegan,
but these traces are SO vague as to be
hardly worth mentioning except as a
scientific fact. There is SO little gold to
be found that it would not pay to oper-
ate the plant upon that system.
President Arthur B. Ryan, who is now
at I.ubec, has at last been converted to
the idea that the so-called Jernegan
process is failure. He has insisted that
his independent Investigations assured
him that by the Jernegan process 1t was
possible to take gold from sea water at
q profit. His conversion is in the shape
of letter to Chairman Warren, in which
he at last admits that he was mistaken.
Prof. Carmichael has heen asked to
extend his Investigations still further and
inform the committse If 1t is possible to
extract gold from sea water by any sys-
tenn at profit. He is at work on this
line at the present time.
While Prof. Carmichael Is operating,
plant No. 1 will be sold, hnt plant No. .,

valuable, is now for sale to anyone who

of the steel pier. though he sold out his
interest in that. last fall.
One of the projects that Mr. Duff
now has in mind for the Improvement
of Old Orchard asa summer resort. Is
something that the people there and all
its visitors have realized ought to be
built to draw larger crowds, and that
is summer theatre. At present there
is nothing of the sort there, and many
often wish for one Mr.. Duff owns :.
tract of land situated near the Old
Orchard House. and one of the most
central spots in the town. This tract
in which there are about Is acres, he
intends to convert into "a park with d
geological exhibit and other attrac-
tons. and the summer theatre. where
afternoon and evening performances
can be witnessed This idea pleases
every tourist who ever visits the place.
The steel pier is to be rebuilt and will
be ready by the time the summer sea-
son opens. Other great changes are
taking place in the resort. this spring
in the way of Improvements.
