COLDBLADES SHARPER THAN STEEL
Factory in Los Angeles Now Marketing Tempered Gold
and Copper Instruments

A n industry of very great import
A ance in its probable effect upon
4 n the demand for copper has
been started in Los Angeles as
a result of the discovery by Mr.. z. F.
Vaughn of means to temper gold, sill
Yer and copper,
Gold surgical instruments, such as
knives, hypodermic and suture needles,
are now being manufactured here in
quantity. The delicate gold blades
are as keen as the sharpest razor
Thrown point downward they will
stick into hard table top and stand
there quivering.
The Mining Review has made a
careful investigation of the plant and
the results attained. Samples of tenn
pered gold and copper have been sub
mitted to assayers and by thorough
tests have been proved to be gold and
copper.
Samples of tempered gold, silver
and copper have been submitted to DR..
Julius Koebig of the Los Angeles
Chemical and Metallurgical labora-
tories. He finds that the claims made
by Mr.. Vaughn for these tempered
metals are fully sustained by the re-
suits.
Mr.. Vaughn began his Investigations
in 1883 and has been steadily at it
ever since. He does not claim to have
discovered a lost art, but to have in
vented means whereby gold, silver
and copper, either separately or in al
10y, can be taken through the various
degrees of crystallization which cor
respond to the several tempers known
in the arts.
BY the process used these ductile
metals are not only hardened but their
density and homogeneity are brought
to such practical perfection that a cut
ting edge is effective because of its
absolute and microscopic fineness and
smoothness. 1t does not tear-it di-
vides, and for surgical purposes in
struments of tempered gold are said
to be superior to those of steel because
of this keener edge, and because
no microscopic speck of rust can har-
Dor dangerous germs.
Interesting and important as the
tempering of gold is from metallurgi-
cal and surgical points of view. the
great commercial value of the discov-
cry lies in it's application to copper
and the widely extended use of that
metal which is thereby promised.
1t is stated by Mr. Vaughn that tenn
pered copper is not subject to that
Reprinted by permission of the Min
ing Review.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-18

springs of tempered copper have not
only as great elasticity and strength
as steep springs, but that, owing to
the extreme slowness of the process
of crystallization, they will retain the
spring temper for a practically in
definite period. Furthermore, that ow-
ing to this quality of tempered copper
and its great tensile strength all metal
parts of machinery which are subject
to vibration may be more profitably,
and, as in the case of propeller shafts,
more safely made of copper than of
steel
1t is thought that the most imme-
diate and possibly the most extensive
use of tempered copper will be for
journal bearings. 1t is stated that,
owing to the great density of the
metal it takes a perfect polish with
use and makes an almost frctionless
bearing. free from danger of over
heating, and long outlasting either
babbitt metal or brass for the purpose.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-18

and is working force of men in the
manufacture of gold surgical instru-
ments, for which there has arisen an
insistent demand. Gold hypodermic
needles are particularly sought for,
because a number of remedies such as
those containing acids or the mer-
curial salts, which could not be used
with steel needles, may now be intro
duced directly to the blood. Further
more, tempered gold needles are per-
fectly aseptic if reasonably well cared
for, and steel needles are not so, be-
cause of the incessant liability of steel
TO corrosion.
The whole effort of Mr.. Veughn's
present force is directed to the manu-
facture of the needles and knives
here illustrated. He is, however, about
to add a copper tempering plant of
sufficient capacity to turn out the
metal on a commercial scale. Later
silver will likewise be tempered for
use in the manufacture of cutlery.
A company has been incorporated
in Los Angeles under the style of the
Tempered Ductile Metals Company to
finance necessary and very consider
able engagements of the enterprise.
The success attained so far in the
manufacture of tempered gold surgi-
cal instruments has by the testimony
of metallurgists and surgeons of
standing been most notable. The
samples of tempered copper suitable
for springs, for bearings and for rigid
bars, which have been submitted for
expert examination, promise like
success in a much more extended field.
The officers of the new company
are: Mr.. VIM. V. Holley, president;
Mr.. H. Howard Douglas, vice presi-
dent; Mr.. Jacob E. Meyer, treasurer;
Mr.. VIM. A. Alderson, secretary; Mr.
q. F. Vaughn, superintendent.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-18

1t is also thought by scientific men
that tempered copper, owing to it's
hardness and density, will solve sew
eral important problems of electrical
engineering, with the result that use
fulness of electrical machinery will be
materially extended, with correspond
ing increase in the use of copper.
At 223 West First street Mr..
Vaughn has established his factory,

fusionists carried the state for treas
urer by plurality of $4,000. The 9th.

Party Gets 219 Out of 383,
With Three Districts Yet
To Hear From
Al OF PRESIDENT
APPROVAL
Democrats Make Gains in Number of
States, as Was Expected, But the
Republican Working Majority is
Not Materially Reduced-The Latest
Returns.

Chicago, Nov. According to the
latest dispatches to the Associated
Press the republicans have elected 219
congressman and the democrats 1854.
Three districts are missing. The re-
publican majority in congress will be
somewhat reduced, which was antici-
pated by the most optimistic republi-
cans. Missouri went back to the dem
ocrats and number of gains were
made in several other states. The re-
publican working majority, however, is
ample and on the whole the election
is regarded as an approval of the pres
ident and his policies.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1906-11-07

of the reforms achieved by the repub-
iican majority in the last congress, as
an Endorsement of the administration
of President Roosevelt and as a repu-
diatton of Bryan and Hearst, gov
ernrnent ownership and the various
isms that constitute the democratic So
cialistic program.
The only interest attaching to the
status Of the United States senate in
the next congress turns upon the re-
publican majority. This will be at
least twenty-eigllt and may reach thir-
ty-one. At the latter figure the re-
publican senator's will be able to rati-
fy the Santo DOMINICAN treaty at the
short session this winter without the
aid Of the minority.
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and New
Jersey. where the bulk of republican
gains in congress was made two years
ago, show no sign Of material
reversal Of form. Democrats In Illi-
nois were confident of recapturing
seven of the twenty-five districts, in
addition to the Twentieth, or Rainey
district, which was saved from the
Roosevelt landslide of two years ago,
Early returns show that the Fourth
and Fifth districts, now republican,
may have gone democratic, but the
Eighth district is close, both Con-
gresham McGavin and Senator
Kunz claiming it. The democrats prob
ably will carry the Twentieth, or
Rainey, district and the Rives, or
Springfield district. Outside Of these
two, however, they appear to have
no chance in the country. The repub-
lican state committee comedies only
four districts to the minority in the
state. This represents gain of three
6: stricts over the estimate made by the
republican congressional committee at
New York.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1906-11-07

AS the day wore on the spirits of the
republicans rose and the estimates of
Cummins' plurality were increased. At
republican headquarters claims are
made that the following twenty seven
counties give Cummins a plurality of
1900: Hamilton, Grundy, Webster,
Pottawattamie, Butler, Clarke, Taylor,
Cass, Guthrie, Hardin, Floyd, Adair,
Howard, Wayne, Humboldt, Sac, Mar
shall, RinggQld, Story, Des Moines,
Woodbury., Dubuque, Page, Appanoose,
and Warren. The last six are conceded
to Porter. The republicans are inclin-
ed to raise their estimate Of $4,000 for
Cumnlins.
The republican congressional chair
man of the Eighth district at Clarinda
says Page went for Porter by 244 plur-
atty; Lucas for Cummins by zoo;
Ringgold, Cumnins by 5S4; Taylor,
Cummins by 200; Wayne, stand-off;
Appanoose Porter by 1000.
Other PiuraIities.
Late reports on pluralities: Madi-
son county, IA, Cunlmins; Warren, 80
Cummins;, Lucas, complete, 243, Cum
Minis; Floyd. partly, 200, Cummins;
Benton, $40, Porter; Worth, 1000 Cum
minis; Boone, estimated, 1900, Cum
minis; Mitchell, 993, Cummins; Hardin,
1870 for Cummins. Iowa county shows
Cummins has about same as three
years ago. Warren county elects
Price, democrat, for the house. Mad
dson county elects republican for rep
resentative by 322. Nearly complete
returns in Polk county show that Cum
Minis plurality will be about $500.
Weldon, republican, elected in Har-
din county for the house. Early re-
ports indicated Porter had carried
Warren by 500, bu tlater reports show
that Cummins carried the county by
SO votes. X
