HAS WEIGHTY PLANS
Wonderful Things Promised by an
Indianapolis Man.
Device to See over Telephone Almost
Perfected Second Invention
Separates Gold from sand
at Small Cost.

An inventive genius of Indianap-
OILS, Ind, whose name is withheld
for the present, within a few weeks
will give the world two inventions
that promise 10 revolutionize two
great industries of the world and. at
the same time, to affect other chan
nels Of the worlds commerce.
One is a device whereby a man
talking at a telephone may see who
is talking and be seen by the talker.
as well as hear and be heard, no
matter how great the distance sep
arating the two instruments. The
other is a device separating flour"
gold from the sand and foreign par
ticles surrounding il, rendering
placer mining so cheap that the pre-
cious metal may be Protitably sep
arated from gold-bearing dirt at ex-
Pense so small that the cost of op-
Grafton is, IN substance, nothing.
The inventor is represented by At
torney Bernie B. Cohen, a young law
yer who befriended the man, and,
When he was practically penniless,
advanced him funds with which he
might continue his experiments and
bring his machines to the present
state of perfection.
Attorney Cohen declared TO a Chi
cago Tribune correspondent that the
gold separating device viii render
the work of separating microscopic
particles of gold from surrounding
sand as cheap as the Edison mag
netic process for drawing minute
particles Of iron from other foreign
materials with which it Is mixed.
1T might be called" the inVen-
tors representative said. "an 'au-
ronetic' mechanism, inasmuch as it
attracts particles of the precious
metal as the magnet attracts parti-
cles of iron or steel"

reasons, has been named the telelec-
