FROM WATER T.
he YANKS YELLOW.

| +. w. McLeren, proprietor Of the
Wilhoit mineral springs at Wilhoit,
Clackamas county, was here yesterday
on one Of the most startlingly
stupendous projects ever heard Of In
connection with the extraction Of
gold In Eastern Oregon. Ills scheme
Is to precipitate the gold held In
solution by ordinary water, and he
says no has proved its feasibility
beyond the remotest shadow Of
doubt.
Mr.. McLeren has been working on
the process for long time. and he
says II has now passed the ex-
perimental stage with every posi- bility
Of failure precluded. The secret
seems to lie In the precipitant,
while the device for handling the
water appears to be Of minor
Importance. It IL understood that
u patent was denied by the govern.
ment on the somewhat indefinite
grounds that II would conflict with
the United States mints. This point.
however, IL not very clear, but Mr..
McLeren says he IL making another
effort and thinks he will secure
patent within a couple Of weesk.
The cost of extraction of the gold
held In solution by ordinary sea
water IL four cents a ton. while the
values run from forty to eighty cents
for this amount of water. But water
In the vicinity of gold bearing lodges
carry II much greater quantity Of the
yellow metal In ISOLATION and this
accounts for McLeren's presence
In the camp.
Some time ago II seems, u friend
Of his secured u bottle Of water from
tho shaft Of the Golden Wizard, and
took IL to him for treatment. The
water proved To be very rich In gold,
though on definite per cent which 1t
carries IL stated; but II goes away
beyond sea water, and II IL under
stood that the purpose is to put In
u plant to handle this water and
extract the gold therefrom. The
amount involved In the construction
Of buildings or necessary sppurten-
ances, IL not known. or 10 1t even
very definite what these same
necessary sppurtenances are. The
statements are very positive, however,
that they will ysnk the yellow from
natures own beverage, and that
every spring that bubbles from the
bowels Of the Blue mountains Ia q |
veritable bonanza.
Mr.. Mcl.ersn, the inventor Of the
process IL landed proprietor and
substantial citizen, owning the
famous without mineral springs aud
sundry acres surrounding.
The water percolatinR through the
Golden Wizard ledge is, II Is stated, +
peculiarly adapted to profitable
I eatment, owing to the fact that
much Of the ledge matter Ia de- /!
composed quartz aud porphyry thus
giving free action to the water. But
any water carries a per cent Of gold
In solution to justify treatment,
