Ne asserts that he has transmitted
silver silver into gold, "A karats fine.
He showed a quantity of gold in grains,
fakes and pellets that, he said, had
boen made from silver dollars. He
said that he is now engaged in making
cold in a secret workshop within the
limits of Pennsylvania,
Associated with him in the transmu-
tion of silver into gold are his sons
and one outside assistant. A few
wealthy Philadelphians are interested
in a financial way. AS described by
Mr.. Hunter, silver in the process of
its transmutation into gold is treated
in electrical, chemical and mechanical
processes.
For many years Mr.. Hunter held to
the theory that all matter is constitut-
ed of the same units combined in vary
ing numbers and under varying veloc-
tiles. He set to work in 1895 to find
the absolute unit of matter for the
purpose of creating gold.
The discovery was made eighteen
months ago According to Mr. Hunter,
he only reduced a silver dollar to its
component ions, stilled their yibra.
tons and by succession of chemical,
electrical and mechanical treatments
reassembled them into a new combina-
ton with different syncronous vibra-
ton. The resultant metal was yellow,
was affected only by aqua regia: in
fact was gold, with all of COLDS reac-
tons and values.
Mr.. Hunter lives in a luxurious
home at No. BIO Chestnut street. He
is not yet so years old.
"One dollars worth of silver pro-
duces shorty dollars worth of gold
that is to say, an ounce of silver makes
an ounce of gold," he says. 1.-THE
weight of the gold is the same. but the
specific gravity of the metal is changed
from l0.4 to 1913, and consequently it
occupies only about one-half the space.
Once the transformation has been
completed no normal conditions will
