MILLIONS IN HIS MIND


Has >chsm. to Take Unlimited ousnti-
Ito Of Gold From the Earth.
In the jail OF Fulton county,
Georgia, near the Queen City of the
Southland, Atlanta. there is confined
for the non-paymcnt of a bin Of SIS
man who claims to have mt his com
mand the secret for acquiring mill
ions plus millions of dollars. His
name is David !. Telfair, and his
scheme. as il affects latter day
science, must take rank with such
marvels Of romance az the story of
Colonel Mulberry Sellers and his forr-
tune producing plans and the yapor-
Gus vision of the gentleman who
claims 10 have discovered practIc-
al means of Matching ten-dollar gold
pieces from hard boiled eggs
Mr. Tclfair's scheme in u nutshell
is THISTLE VIII place two poles In

each other ten miles, turn on power

mouthed pouch or tank ut the mega

low metal TO make its appearance
from the positive pole and drop con
veniently into his receptacle.
Such paltry detail as the too, too
solid rock, which ordinarily requires
IA persistent and heroic drilling to i'm
press, VIII not figure nj all, as the
current win catch up the nuggets in
its tenacious grasp and hurry them
along for miles through their adaman-

augmented every >minute until it be
comes raging, Seethlng torrent when

where the w0tchful relfair sits 10

Mr. Telfair is a man to remember.
When he talks his eyes grow round
and wondrous, his tones take on IL
caressingly convincing cadence. and
there is the tinkle of astral bells and
the busy Yet subdued sound of I'M
seen wheels revolving through the
air suspicIously near the Telfalr apex.
Mr. Telfair t,,,ks familiarity of Barney
Barnato and their experiences in
South Africa. There was mammoth
fortune in store for both, and Bar
nato's suicide would have been need
less had he followed Telfair's advice.
But Bnrnnto grew jealous. This was
after Telfalr had put In four epilep
seros in South African soil and was
getting out gold very rapidly on
plates, These plates he sent to Lon
don, and the clean up" showed the
tidy accumulation of $500. 900 in gold
