degree OF development as visible metal
If the discovery is all that is claim, fol
it by the few who have witnessed tliC
tests, then Colorado mining has mos

the rock. This new process develops
the conditions for gold, as IL were, anC
within few hours ripens them int
the precious metal.
When one reflects what this means
the result can hardly begraeped, Book
upon chemistry must be re- written
Theories and practice followed for years
and years must be entirely up-et and
new rules and formulas sprung upon the
mining world. Indeed, the entire world
will be flooded with gold. II must reach
lower standard Of value. The process
is virtually makitg gold. Some mining
men decry the discovery. Others point
to progress made in all sciences, and
dare them to refute the statements, nu-
til they are proven false. The process
has not simply been announced and then
kept secret by the speaker. Practical
tests have been made by the score. The
results have almost stupefed expert
enced mining men. They can but say
"Can it be possibe2" The combination
of chemicals still remains a secret. Pro.
iessor Wynn and his selected few associ.
stes, if the discovery is based upon facts,
have the outputo OF the worlds gold in their
hands. Willard Teller, brother of
United States Senator Henry M. Teller,
is thoroughly absorbed in the gigantic
plan, and has placed bis fortune at the
back OF the operators. Others have
done likewise, but their names have been
Withheld for the present. The PROPOSE
tion is OF too great magnitude to enlarge
upon early.
General Manager George w. Hol-
dredge OF the Burlington road was in the
city today. He spent the greatest part Of
the day in the club building. The object
OF his visit was TO meet the men who are
in charge OF the Wynn gold extraction
process and secure such information as
was available concerning test upon ore
which was treated by the new process.
The result, as shown on the record book
of the syndicate was as follows:
Sample of ore (mill tailinss) from G.
w. Boldredge; property located in owy.
hee county, Idaho. The sample weighed
1926 pounds, the fire assay certificate on
the sample showing only 81 gold and
thirteen ounces silver.
BY the Wynn process, from 925 pounds
the dust recovered weighed two ounces
four pennyweights; value at $50 Per
ounce, 80. The dust reduced TO a
button in the orucible gave two
ounces two pennyweights thirteen
grains; value, at 500 per ounce, l42.e2.
Value of the tailings per ton by fire test,
less than 50 per ton value by the Wynn
chemical test, s262 2S per ton.
Mr.. Holdredge has been investigating |
the process for several weeks. He is in
terested in mines in different parts of the
West. After the test today he refused
to make any announcement whatever,
but be carried a significant smile.
A large numberoi practical mining
men declare there is no foundation for
the returns and that the process is an
absolute imposition. They base their
opinions upon the returns from all the
great furnaces aud mills OF the mining
world, the reports Of the most skilled
sxperts and the test OF experience.
Professor Wynn and his associates are
equally positive that the scientists have
yet to learn the first lessons in the ex,
traction of values from ores; that the
world is now about TO emerge from the
kindergarten period. They have been
operating for three months in this city,
have made hundreds OF tests from ores

formation whatever is YOU hsaied as to
.he number Of acids required in he
process or the names Of the acids. Ii is
,laimed by the associates Of Professor
Wynn that at different times they have
made runs themselves when the proies-
sor was not present in the bailding, and
he returns were practically the same %
when The liquids ere handled by him.
