Hunter says. he will be manufacture
ing "a carat gold at the rate of $780,
000,0d5 annually. Transmutation of
silver and baser metals into gold is
his secret. and he declares he can
produce the finer metals in quality
to defy the government experts as to
its origin. and in quantity to keep
the Philadelphia mint busy the year
around.
Mr. Hunter is in Chicago attending
to the final details of getting a huge
plant at Philadelphia into operation
Behind the walls. without windows
and with a single door to the tur
reted and feudal-like castle which Is
to house a half million dollars worth
of delicately tuned machinery, this
modern wizard promises to reyo-
lutionize the gold crop of the world
We are now at the point of put
ting into commercial execution the
results of years of toll, thought and
experimenting, said Mr. Hunter at
the Great Northern hotel last night.
THE last demonstration has been
given that is necessary to prove that
my invention is scientifically and
tD1ittt anu tht toihT
pletion of 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.
His patents cover the trolly con-
duit and electric accumulation sys-
TEN of traction now 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 presi
dents, who. with New York and
Philadelphia financiers, are furnish
ing the necessary funds for the cree
ton of the building and apparatus
which is to turn a flood of gold into
the government mint at an original
cost of | o cents on the dollar.
Mr.. Hunter was NOT inclined to dis
cuss his plans and hopes for the rea-
son. he explained. that his results
and his claims are 50 a, variance
with common belief That those who

disposed - numbel him with he
dreamers.
Il am asking nothing of the pub
lie, and while | am willing TO do
what | can for science | prefer to
wait until the results speak for
themselves, declared Mr.. Hunter.
My discovery of the transmutation
of silver into gold was announced
five years ago. At that time | had
secured results which seemed 10 be
perfect, and by my process the gold
was reduced in excellent quality
Then it came to a question of COM
the process and | found
that while | had achieved the de-
sired results, the method had not
been perfect and | had to retrace the
entire course.
Now | have it, and those who
scoffed five years ago will be COM
PEELED within two years by mere
weight of facts to join in words of
praise and congratulations.
Mr.. Hunter and two sons are the
only living persons who are acquaint-
ed with the secret features 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. lie has
the entire process recorded in book,
which in decades to come he expects
to stand as Interchangeable and
which will take rank with the great
scientific achievements OF history.
Tt change silver into gold it is
necessary only to rearrange the ions

atoms" said Mr. Hunter in scientific
terms, when his plant opens for bust
ness.
In simple terms this is my proved
shown to be intensely prac-
teal by these specimens, and he

said. The other vial was full of
massy chunks of gold. which is

ing to the alchemist, because the Sc
cret process is still in operation ON

Leave nature to herself, he
said, and she will produce gold
from silver in centuries of time. |

Assume that we have an atom of
silver, greatly enlarged, so as to be

will be composed of say $4,000 little
particles like planets, flying around
with lightning rapidity, but at no

Al range relatively to each other
