WORKS DRY PLACERS
Clever Gold Saving Machine Invented
 by Texas Men.
The Cochise Review says:


 The latest invention in the way of gold saving machine for the working of dry placer ground is the invention of two young electrical mechanics in Dallas, Tex and is now operating ores and dry placer sand at their work This is one of the clevcrest devices, and l think the latest in the gold ex- traction line" said z. F. Nichols, who has just returned from a v!stt to Texas 'and l spent the whole evt ming looking into their method of working sand and gravel"
 The agency employed in the Dallas | invention Is static electricity. so ma ripulated that a complete separation Is made of any kind of native mdal contained in sand. gravel. dirt, cement or free milling ore. The action of the static current causes the sand or earth , of any character, when distributed on moving belt, to rise and separate from the metallic particles and go of through an air exhaust, while the metal is retained on the belt. the pro- cess being simple but wonderfully eff , fective.
 The model machine upon which ex- periments have been made has d daily capacity of about ten tons of sand or dirt as it lies on the ground. The in- vantors are now engaged Tn building lCO ton capacity machine. A gasoline engine operates an entire plant, includ- ing eXcavators. conveyorS separa tors, screens, etc, lhe whole being carried Hpon the bed of a truck making port able and self propelling mining outfit, complete in itself and depending in no f degree upon the use of water except the small quantity required by the gas , oline engine. This process being al- , most automatic in fs operation can be run on very economical basis, and the inventors claim the large quantity of dirt handled will enable them to op- crate with profit in placers too low grade to be worked with advantage by any o.her process. Outside of the great placer fields in the arid districts of New Mexico, Arizona and Califor- hia, there are thousands of tons of ore lying at mines which ia too low in grade to pay transportation and smelt- CT charges. This ore may be crushed and run through the Dallas machine at a good profit, thus in many cases converting an unproiitable mine into a peying investment.
 Letters of patent have been granted to the inventors for their machine in the countries of the United States and Great Britain.
 The inventors of the new electrical process are expected to be in Arizona within few weeks and would like to investigate the great placers located on Lhe desert, with view of erecting a
 large machine for the working of the dirt and gravel.

Mines and Minerals of Arizona :


The produClion of copper for the first half of the current year, as reported by Secretary Stanton to the Copper Pro ducers' association, loes not fulfill the expectation of an increased output by the mines in the United states. In fact the figures show decrease of llSS tons from the production for the first six months of 1900. In explanation of this falling off 1t is stated that some of the larger mines have probably cur;ailed their output At any rate the assertion is disproved that the higl price of cop Ter would so stimulate production as to demorallZe the market for copper and result in a much lower level of prices. The price of copper remains steady at seventeen cents for Lake, despite the heavy falling off in ex- ports, which have been offset by the in- creased demand for home consumption. It looks like a safe prediction that of the lthree great copper producing dis tri2ts Arizona will be the only one to show an increased production for the year 1901. She has far greater copper bearing area than either Michigan or Montana, but the copper industry Is comparatively in its infancy in this territory, and it will require several years to elapse before the results of the immense amount of capital now be- ing invested in copper mining in Ari- Zona and the extensive development work following it becomes striltngly apparent. Then Arizona will go to the front with a bound and com inue to hold first place in the production of the red metal.

in a few instances, Venezuelan gold fields have not been exploited by men with large capital. competent experi- ence and a knowledge of modern min ing machinery and methods. This gold region does not attract Ihe placer miner for the reason that the best de- posl;s are quartz, and for their reduc- tion an extensive plant Is necessary.
 Another obstacle to 'the rapid devel- opment of the Venezuelan gold fields iS and has been the belief that the climate, of that section of south America is a particularly unWholesoma and deadly one. 1t is true that during certain months people who go into the Ori- noco valley from the north and who do not take precautions of reasonable nature, are likely to contract malarial fever; but diseases of this kind may be very largely avoided by proper at tention to food, diet, water and cloth- ing. So far as l can ascertain, much of the so called gold region of Venezu- ella is probably no more institutions that were large portions of our western states when the settlers first broke the soil. There is in the Venezuelan gold regions an abundance of god water and a number of powerful waterfalls cara ble of being utilized in commercial way.
 The gold fields of Venezuela also suf- fer grievOusly from lack of transport ation facilities. They lie not more than one hundred miles from the banks of the worlds finest rivers, yet the miner has 70 tianspCl', all of his supplies up- on the backs of donkeys. which makes life at the mines, and the operation of them. very expensive. The gold has to be brought out in the same manner. The vital need of the region is a rail- read connecting it with some point on Lhe OrinocO river and when this is built probably the long expected awaken ing" will take place.
 The mineral resources of Venezuela are by no means confined to gold. As phalt, sulphur, copper. asbestos petrol- cum, coal and iron are found. On the Drinoco river, about seyenty-ive miles from its mouth, Is situated a remark ably rich deposit of valuable Bessemer ore, These mines have figured in dip lOmatic correspondence be ween Vene- zuela and the Unled States for up- ward of fifteen years; they have also been the subject of long and expensive litigation in the Venezuelan courts. Their ownership has finally been deter mined. and it is stated that they arc 'oon to be exploited in a large way.
