FAMOUS
MINING MACHINE
Old Miner Has Extensive
Experience-May Exhibit
Machine in Ell Paso.

Half the gold as far as known in
the world today is in the dry placers.
Except in Alaska and s. rev other
places, the great wet placers are get
ting pretty well exhausted, as COM
pared with the old days. The problem
of the future for gold hunters is how
to get out the gold from these dry
piacers, which are scattered all over
the west, southwest, Mexico and South
America, most of them in deserts
have solved the problem after Is years
experiments, so L can guarantee that
l can take ont nearly all the gold
locked up in the cement beds and dry
placers, wet or dry"
Thus on Tuesday night spoke Wig
orous looking man. apparently - years
\of age, but who is 20. His name is
Mitts Quenner, inventor of the famous
Quenner dry placer machine, the fame
of which has gone all over the coun-
try.
His enthusiasm over his machine was
infectious and soon a crowd of listen
ers assembled to hear his description.
He has been mining for over As years,
beginning in Butte, Mont, and has been
in nearly every camp in the west, and
was among the first to join the rush
10 Alaska He has also spent many
years in Mexico.
During my experience" he said, L
have noted the great necessity of some
plan to get the gold out of the dry
fields and determined TO solve the prob
lem.
The Machine.
The mechanism of the machine has
been described in most Of the western
papers, including The Herald, but I will
say that there are 20 eight pound ham
merS revolving inside of the crIindar.

the water supply.
DIR. 1. Milestone another member of

is usually the case during the summer
months.
my notice" said DR.. Milestone seem
to have the symptoms of typhoid, but
are not serious and are caused by
gastric disturbance o the stomach.
These may be caused directly to the
water, milk or even fruit. know
personally at the present time, that
scores of people in Gary are suffering
