Our device is simple, cheap and
positively efficient in the recovery OF
all free gold or gold not in combina-
tion or alloy with metals other than
silver II makes no difference what
kind Of material 1t comes In. All
gold contained in iron pyrites, sui
phrets, hematltes, quartz, tale, clays,
porphyry or any other kind of rock
or sulphides, can readily be ANAL
gamated, after freed from their con-
tainers, by electro-chemical process.
Fine grinding will liberate all gold

wish to inform Mr.. Corliss and
all concerned that We do not en-
ploy any acids whatsoever to clean
the rusty or corroded gold The cleo
trio current and proper electrolite
does that; and we are ready to de-
monstrate this fact to any skeptical
person wishing enlightenment.
We do not use metallic mercury
in our work, but the salt of mercury
in metallic form on the copper
plates, by the aid of the electric cur
rent.
We chloridlze thu gold by the aid
Of sodium chloride or common salt
and the electric current.
With our gold in this condition
and our mercury in solution, they
must come in contact, every particle.
The mercury in its nascent state. the
gold absolutely free and clean from
! all oxides or organic matter There
fore, we get complete amalgamation.
Our chemists know well the effect
OF oxygen upon all oxide organic
matter and foreign substances de-
trimental to an amalgamating pro-
cess. There Is nothing in chemistry
that Is a greater cleanser or as great
an enemy to detrimental foreign sub
stances as oxygen gas. We liberate
vast quantities of this gas on our
plates continuously with the aid of
the electric current. The oxygen
combines with the sodium chloride,
making one of the greatest known
cleansers OF today. This with the
aid of the magnetism of the electric
current or tonic forces, cause all
mercury in solution to be deposited
on the plate in a metallic form.
Hence all gold, also.
We have then a pure or nascent
sodium amalgam, as the mercury is
being manufactured by the electric
current continuously. Certainly this
Is amalgamating under the most "a
vorable circumstances and, therefore.
must get the very best of results.
How would Mr.. Corliss recover
gold out of cyanide solution with
his process without the aid of cleo
tricity? He could not. He would
have to employ some other device.
We would not. Neither would the
cyanide solution be detrimental TO
our plate with the current on Il
We can deposit all gold and silver
out of cyanide solutions in the same
manner as we do the extracting of
gold and silver from quartz.
We would suggest that all parties
