Extraction of Gold from Desert San

Extraction of Gold from Desert Sand.
Deposits of gold in the gravel of the
southwestern states, which cannot be
worked in the usual way on account OF
the absence of water, will be made avail
sble, 1t is claimed, by the separator OF
Thomas A. Edison.
This device is not new; 1t was tried
three years ago in New Mexico, but did
not pay because the deposit was not suffice
iently rich. The discovery of richer
desert" deposits, together with improve
mepts In the machine, will, 1t Is said
insure its successful use. The device ii
simple, its action depending merely on 8
powerful air-blass to blow away the
lighter sand from the heavy gold parti-
Giles, as they fall together through the air
The separation Is not absolutely complete
but the gold is left SO nearly pure that II
may easily be cleaned by the ordinary
processes. III the performances of the ma.
chine equals Its promise. 1t will develop
large regions that have been hitherto
useless.-Success.
