WIZARD EDisoN's SCHEME.
Plan to Produce Billions of Dollars
Worth of Gold.


Chicago, April ga dispatch to
The Record Herald from New York
says;
Thomas A. Edison has a scheme for
extracting the untold billions of dol
lars worth of gold that lie in the i'm.
mense low grade" quartz beds in
lower California, New Mexico, Arizona
and northern Mexico. These cannot
now be worked because the old-fashion
ed placer hydraulic system is lacking
and the gold runs in too small a guam.
tity to the ton to make mining it prof
liable under other systems. An air.
blast is employed by Mr.. Edison in his
solution of the problem to separate the
gold particles from the mass.
The system, it is claimed, has now
reached working basis. Expert
ments on the desert near Santa Fe by
Floyd M. Chapman one of Mr.. Ed
sons assistants, have enabled Mr.. Ed.
ison and Mr.. Chapman to produce
machine which, they declare. will re
claim SO per cent of the gold from the
gravel In hydraulic mining it was
thought remarkable if Is per cent of
the gold was washed out.
One man, it is claimed, can run
scores of separators. The gravel is
first dug out of the ground with a
steam shovel; conveyors then carry II
to stoves that separate it into parti
cles Of uniform size. Each separator
is designed to handle gravel of GER
tain size and the gravel is automatical
ly distributed to the hopper Of its prop
err machine. The gravel falls through
narrow slit before a rotary blower
which drives a full blast of air against
the falling gravel The gold being
heavier, falls to the bottom of the ma.
chine, but all Of the lighter gravel
and sand is blown into a separate com

Local railway officials are interested
in tho Now York dispatches, which tell
of tho success Of the Great Northern in
selling 100000 two. year per cent
sterling notes. ~
That the loan was to be negotiated
was practically unknown. Speculation
as to the uses to which this money will
be put is naturally general. It has been
stated that these funds are to be used
for permanent improvements, but the
nature Of these improvements can only
he guessed. The Same official sources
stated that the monev was not to be
spent for acquiring new lines, which
narrow the expenditures down to the
building Of seaport terminals at Seattle,
the building of certain extensions, and
the purchase of extensive orders of new
equipment. Probably money will be
used for all these pur poses. The COM
panv has not yet prepared to receive
the immense new ships for the Pacific
trade and vast amount of work must
etill be done in Seattle harbor, Large
numbers of locomotives and cars will
also be purchased. One we'll known
