EDiSON'S PROCESS.
The Mining World Watching Edison
= Electrical Plncering Process in
New Mexico.

1hc progress or placer mnlng
on the Ortiz grant in New Mexico,
by which Thomas A. + lison hopes
to demonstrate the success of his
invention for extracting gold by
means of electricity, will be watch.
ed with interest in Colorado as the
results my be Of the utmost i'm
portance to this state, and in fact
to the entire mining world.
Owing to the secrecy in which
Edison has clad his pIans, little has
been learned Of the process by
which he hopes to revOlutionizc
placering. Reports from CcrrlloS,
where the preparations for Edison'a
work are now being carried on,
indicate that about 80, ,000 cubic
yards of gravel will be handled
daily when the machinery is in
place. The eXcavators it is said
will take up the gravel and place
it in immense revolving screens,
which are intended to concentrate
the gravel and gold. What is to
he d0ne with the concentrates is as
yet mystery, and it is thought
that the process Of separation, if
successful will be kept an entire
secret.
If the dry pIaccring is carried
on according to the immense scale
which presclt plans indicate, it will
be extremely difficult to keep the
process of separation secret for
any great length of time, and the
mining world may sooner or later
reap benefit from Eiison's genius,
even against his will. Even if
Edison'S work in New Mexico
proves a success and is successful
~ kept Il secret, doubtless the at.
tention of other experts such a.
Tesla will be directed to the same
field and good results obtained.
The world has long needed q
practical system of dry placering,
and hardly Il gold.producing sec
ton of the world will fail to re-
ceive immense benefit if the idcus
of Edison or some not less prac-
licaI electrician are put into gene
raj operation. The pIaccrs Of tho
Klondikc have already shown
signs of exhaustion, owing to the
crude methods which the miners o.
Alaska have been compelled tC
adopt. This ground, which may
he said to be only half washed,
would yield rich returns TO a goo,
electrical process. In Colorado
there arc many lich placer field,
that have long stood idle because
of the fact that water cannot bC
secured for their working.
1t is claimed that Edison must
he certain of the success of hi,
plan, else he could not have organ
izcd a company with such immense
capital for working Ortiz pIaccrs
In the light of the practical success
of his other inventions, this woul,
seem reasonable. and will give risl
to the question: Has the invento
of anything which will confer grca
benefit upon the world, a mora
right to keep his invention a secret

There are two sides to every qucs-

Atmy rate, let them have Il hear

EASE AND Disease
A Short Lesson on the Meaning

Disease is the opposite of ease.
Webster defines disease rs "lack

cured By Houd'sSarsaparilla which

and it gives vigor and vitality 10
the whole body. 1t reverses the
condition of things, giving health,
