of gold been realized in the dawn oi the twentieth century, Eighteen months hence, Rudolp M Hunter says. he will be manufacturing 24- caret gold at the rate of $10o, o,000. 900 any ualiy. Transmutation of silver and baser metals into gold is his se- cret, and he declares he can produce the finer metal in quality to defy the government experts as to it's origin, and the quantity to keep the Phila- delphis mint busy the year round.
 Mr. Hunter is in Chicago atterding to the final details of getting huge plant at Philadelphia into operation. Behind the walls, without windows and with 8 single door to the tur- reted and feudallike castle which IS to house a half-minion dollars worth of delicately tuned machinery. this modern wizard promises to reyo- lutioniEe the gold crop of the world.
 We are now at the point of put ting into commercial execution une result of years of toll, thought and experimenting. said Mir. Hunter at the Great Northern hotel last night. The last demonstration has been giyer that is necessary to prove that my invention is scientifically ana NOA1-hCtIidlAg NOllOSl eaAu NhC wan plet;on ot the plant which is to be- gin at once, will mark the beginning of a 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 produced and patented hundreds of ideas, notably in the electrical field. Isr kAA ~x-Nl1 1nU Rrra duit and electric accumulation sys- tenn of traction TOW in use.
 The inventor came to Chicago, he said. to submit his building plans to a select coterie of Chicago business men, two of whom are bank preoi- dents, who, with New York amn Philadelphia financiers, are furnish ing the necessary funds for the erec- ton oE the building and apparatus which is to turn flood of gold into the government mint at an ortglnaa cost of 10 cents on the dollar.
 Mir. Hunter was not inclined to dis cuss his plans and hopes for the req son. he explained, that his results and his claims are so at variance with common belief that those who have not studied the situation are disposed to number him with the dreameFS.
 T am asking nothing of the pub lie, and while l am willing to do what I can for science I prefer 10 wait until the results speak for themselves" declared MT. Hunter. eMy discovery of the transmutation of silver into gold was announced five years ago. At that time l had secured results whicl seemed to De perfect, and by my process the gold was produced in excellent quality. Then it came to a question of com mercialiZing the process and l found that while had achieved the desired results, the method had not been perfect and I had to retrace the entire course.
 Now I have 1t, and those wno scoffed five years ago will be com pened within two years by mere weight of fact to join in words ol praise and c0ngratulation."
 Asr. Hunter and two sons are the only living persons who are acquaint- ed with the secretfeature of the pro cess whereby, he says, silver bullion will be dumped into the hopper at one end of the mill and be delivered as gold slabs at the other. He has the entire process recorded in a book, which in decades to come he ex- poets to stand as the unchangeable record of a wonderful discovery and which will take rank with the great scientific achievements of his tory.
 'To change silver into gold it IS necessary only to rearrange the ions and electron conditions of the
 in tific terms when his plant opens for business.
 sIn simple terms this is my proved theory. shown to be intensely practi' cal by these specimens" and he produced two glass vials, one of which was filled with shining peb bles of gold, which in their former state were silver quarter-dollars the inventor said. The other vial was full of messy chunks of gold which is growing 'bolder" every day according to the alchemist, be cause the secret process is still ir operation on the original slivers oi silver.
