Chicago, ill., May 2.--Has she dream
Of the alchemist of old been realized
in the dawn of the twentieth century,?
eighteen months hence, Rudolph NJ
/ Hunter says he viii be manufacturing
4 24-caret gold AZ the rate of 100000, coo
annually. Transmutation Of silver and
baser metals into gold is his secret,
and ne declares he can produce the
/ finer metal in quality to defy the gov
ernment experts as to its origin, and
iquantity to keen the Philadelphia mint
busy the year ioand.
Mr.. Hunter is in Chicago attending
! to the final details of getting a huge
plant at Philadelphia into operation.
Behind rock walls. without windows
and with a single door to the turreted
and feudal-like castle which Is to
house a half-million dollars worth of
ldelicately turned machinery, this mod
fern wizard promises to revolutionize
the gold crop of the wrold.
Reward Of Years Toll.
I'VE are now at a point of putting
into commercial execution the result
OF years OF toll, thought and expert
menting," said Mr. Hunter at the
Great Northern Hotel last night The
last demonstration has been given tnat
is necessary to prove that my inven-
ton IS scientifically and commercially
correct and the completion of the
plant which is to begin at once, will
mark the beginning of new epoch
in the commercial history of the
world"
Mr. Hunter is an inventor and en-
gineer OF standing in the scientific
world. During his career he has pro-
duced and patented hundreds of ideas,
notably in the electrical field. His
patents cover the trolley, conduit and
electric aocumulator system OF trac-
ton are now in use
The inventor came to Chicago, he
said, to submit his building plans to
select coterie of Chicago business
men, two of whom are bank presidents.
who, with New York and Philadelphia
financiers, are furnishing the neces-
sary funds for the erection of the
building and apparatus which is to
turn a flood OF gold into the govern
ment mint at an original cost Of 10
cents on the dollar.
Not Inclined 10 Talk.
Mr.. Hunter was not inclined to
discuss his plans and hopes for the
reason, he explained, that his results
and his claims are so at variance with
common belief that those who have
studied the situation are disposed To
number him with the dreamers.
1 am asking nothing of the public.
and while I am willing to do what I

the results speak for themselves" de-
clared Mr.. Hunter, my discovery of
the transmission OF silver into gold
was announced five years ago At that
time / had secured results which seem
ed 10 be perfect, and by my process
the gold was produced in excellent
quality. Then it came to aquestion of
commercializing the process ard
found that while had achieved the
desired result the method had not
been perfect aand ] had to retrace
the entire course.
Now l have IL, and those who scot
fed five years ago viii be compelled
within two years by mere weight Of
fact to join in words Of praise and
congratulation"
Secret Known TO Three.
Mr.. Hunter and his two sons are the
only living persons who are acquaint-
ed with the secret features of the
process whereby, he says, silver bull
lion will be dumped into the hopper
at one end Of the mill and be delivered
as gold slabs al the other. He has
the entire process recorded IN a book
which in decades To come he expects
