GOLD FROM THE SAND
Machine to Run Over the Desert and
Gather Up the Metal.
VIII Operate Much Like = Tanning
Machine, Separating the Pre-
ciOus Dust from the Sand
~ II IL sifted.

Billions of dollars worth of the
yellow metal waiting to be gathered
upl The problem of separating 1t
from. the sands Of the desert solved
There is a sort of a fairy tale
sound to this, but nevertheless an
enterprise that has this very thing
for a foundation is being backed by
Philadelphia capital in plenty, re
ports the Los Angeles Herald.
That the machine in question viii
sift gold particles out of sand, as a
tanning machine separates grain
from the chat, is no matter of doubt,
inasmuch as the writer has seen the
thing accomplished with his own
eyes. The only question is as to the
amount of the yellow metal con
tanned in the desert sands, and the
cost Of working the apparatus.
The former of these two points
seems to have been settled by thor
Ough Investigation. A series OF 2lo
samples Of sand taken across one
stretch of desert so miles in width
yielded varying quantities OF golu'
but the least amount obtained was
~ cents to the ton. Some of the sam
pies rose as high as IS cents a ton.
Very little, one might think, but,
when it is explained that it costs
only two cents a ton to separate the
precious stuff from the sand, the
enormous profit obtainable becomes
apparent. This two cents covers al
expenses involved in the getting OF
the gold in a pure state, including
the running Of the machine.
The machine, which is the inven'
tion Of DR.. Elmer Gates, Of Washing
ton, weighs 5000 tons. It is built t
run over the desert on broad wheels
and carries a powerful dynamo, to
gether with a series Of bucket con
veyers operated by a chain. Fol

ling 5000 tons Of sand per day int

sand In the convsyers 70 q height on
four fset and dropping Il through
the hoppers.
The sand, as Il Is taken aboard, is
poured into the hoppers in continu-
Gus streams. Each stream In about
eight inches wide and half an inch
thick, and falls vertically through q
magnetic field (a space within the
influence Of a powerful electro-mag-
nett, thereby inducing a static charge
in the gold particles, which conse-
quently fly on and away from the
sand, being attracted by a metal
knob of opposite polarity.
This seems rather complicated, but
IN reality Is simple enough. The par
ticles of gold in passing through the
magnetic field are electrified, and, a.
9 matter Of course, are attracted by q
pole OF opposite electrihcation. They
dy in the direction of a metal Elob,
which is provided with a tube and air
suction, the latter drawing the par
ticles through the tube into a bottle
beneath.
The process seems actually magical.
As shown to the writer, the gold par
ticles could be seen to jump a distance
Of eight or more inches to the metal
knob, flying through the air as though
they we're bits of iron attracted to q
magnet. In this way, as the stream Of
sand fell through the magnetic field,
every Epeck Of gold was famed out Of
It and carried down through the tube
TO add to the yellow accumulation in
the bottle below.
Now, there are In the southwestern
part Of the United States hundreds Of
thousands Of square miles Of deserts
which hitherto have been useless for
lack Of water. They are so much
waste territory; literally there iSnoth-
ing doing-a phrase more applicable to
those regions than to any other areas
known, unless on the surface Of the
moon. If they can be turned to profit
able account by working their dry
sands for gold it viii be a great benefit
to mankind.
Gold in two forms is found in these
sands-nour gold and hoat gold. The
former is a very fine powder Of the yell
low metal, while the latter might be
compared to infnitesima scraps Of gold
leaf. The float gold will actually float
in water.
1t is a question Of extracting forms
of gold which hitherto have not
been commercially recoverable. Every
smallest particle Of the precious metal
is separated out Of the sand, and thus,
If the latter contains only 10 cents
worth of it per ton, the net profit (de-
Quoting two cents a ton for -expenses)
would be ten cents a ton. Handling
1000 tons Of sand per diem, the profit
per day would be $500 for each ma
chine.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, who

sistent efforts in favor OF the Mica
rauga canal, is now giving his atten-
ton to a plan in which he has some
colored and some New England CO.
operation Of colonizing the negroes
of the South in the Philippine Islands.
Strange as it may seem congressman
and senators are apparently inter-
ested in the plan, and 1t is altogether
probable that the government will
put up a lot of good money to be paid
to commissions and others to inves-
tigate the matter and see what can be
done about it. To the average indi-
vidual the proposition looks very
much like ahosx. In fact, It Is thor
oughly impracticsble, and at best eau
only serve to talk about and badger
over for a term of years, and finally
fash in the pan, as the canal and
other schemes have flashed. In the
first place not one negro In an hum
dred would consent to be transported
to the far of islands, and it is difficult
to imagine what process could be
adopted to force him to leave the Sec
ton in which he was born IL he did
not choose to do so.

which provides that no work except OF
necessity or charity shall be accom-
