HORTON CONCENTRATION
AND AMAL6AHAT0R.
Headquarters to be Moved to Cheyenne,
From Which Place the Company Will
Transact Business Throughout the
Mining Country.

y. NJ. Horton, inventor of the
Horton Amalgamator and Concen-
TRAITOR, came in from the Green
River and South Pass country
last week where he has been test
ing his machine on placer and
and lode ores.
Mr.. Horton says he has moved
his headquarters to Cheyenne,
where he will look after the affairs
of the company and transact bust
ness with the different mining
companies in the state and sur
rounding mining region, who may
want machines. His reason for
moving to Cheyenne is that he
can be in touch with a much
larger district than at Saratoga.
as he expects TO operate all over
the western region.
While here Mr.. Horton has
made some changes in the COM
pany, W. B. Wiley being asked to
resign. as one of the trustees of
the company and NJ. b. Moore
appointed in his stead. Mr.. Hor-
ton is president and general man
ager of the company.
Mr.. Horton has made a great
many tests the past summer, with
his small machine, all of which
were eminently satisfactory. He
has Interested parties in Denver,
st. Louis, Chicago, Cheyenne, aud
in fact in all parts of the country,
and could easily have disposed of
a thousand machines if he intend
ed selling them, but this he will
not do, as the company can make
more profit by taking work to do
OF a royalty. The machine was
tested in the tailings from three
smelters. for three different met
ais, and in every instance mineral
was saved, and from the tailings
frozen this machine no values
whatever we're btainable.
Mr.. Horizons working model
weighs ITO pounds, case and all,
and in runs made in the Ferris
Haggarty ore % tons were run
through the machine in q hours,
and this machine is run by hand.
One of the main features of this
machine is that it will work in
either wet or dry ore. In a dry
country where the placer ground
is rich, but cannot be worked on
account of no water, this machine
can be used to the best possible
advantage, as it will save values
just the same in dry sand as III
wet-in fact Mr.. Horton says he
would much rather work n dry
proposition than n wet one, as it
does away with all the mud and
Inconvenience of having to use
water, and the machine is guaran-
teed to save every bit of values in
the ground worked over. When
asked in what section of the coun-
try he would start his machines in
operation Mr.. Horton said:
Either Arizona or New Mexi-
co, and possibly California. l ex-
pect to do the largest part of my
work in Wyoming, for it is by
far the richest m~ineralized coun-
try | have ever SCENT is a won
derful country, but it will be the
middle at the winter before the
company will have any machines
ready to put in operation and the
ground here will be frozen up, SO
| think we will put our first ma
chimes in operation where the
country will stay open all winter.
| have an offer of a half interest
in II property in California which
runs $50 to the yard, if l will put
in a machine. But Wyoming
beats anything in the mining line
that | have ever ran up against
! have been mining ever since ]
was six years old, and am 4;
now, and have been in all the
great mineral camps in this coun.
