EDISON'S PLACER MACHINE.

Its Success Oues.iooed by the Denver Re.
publican.
The machine devised by Edison
to extract gold from dry placers
seems practically to be the same in
theory as many another device to
separate gold from sand by means of
strong blasts Of air, says the Denver
Republican. 1t IL possible, however,
that he has accomplished what numer-
Gus other inventors have failed to
achieve.
II has been long recognized that II
the gold contained in dry placers
could he economically separated from
the sand and gravel in which IL il
found, millions Of dollars Of that
metal could he added to the worlds
supply and thousands Of acres OF gold
bearing sand could be made produc-
tive. In the southern parts Of both
Arizona and New Mexico dry placers
of this kind exist, and many attempts
have been made to develop them.
Assays show that they contain large
quantities of gold, but thus far all
attempts to separate IL have failed.
II il possible that II the Edison
device should prove practicable IL
could he used to extract the gold from
the clay and sand beds south of this
city, which cover an area of many
square miles. Numerous expert
ments have shown that gold exists in
these deposits, but no method of ex-
tracting IL has ever been successfully !
devised. The problem Is compli-
Gated In this instance by the pres
cnce Of clay which, when wet. takes
up the gold and hence no system of
sluices can be successfully operated.
II would seem, however, that II u air
blast will separate gold from ordin-
nry sand IL would work as success
fully where, with the sand. ordinary
clay IL intcrmiXed.
The area of these gold beds around
Denver IL so large extending far up |
The northern slope of the Colorado
Springs divide aud for many miles
enst and west--that its development
would give employment to thousands
Df men through u long period Of
years. There IL hardly any estimat-
Ing the amount of gold that might In
This way be produced.
II is claimed that experiments near
Santa Fe have shown the Edison de.
vice to be successful; but all such
should he taken with
many grains Of allowance until prac-
lical work demonstrates the value Of

1t is stated that the place in which the

filled with vermin; the white prison
