MINERS DIG FOR
PLATINUM IN 4
HARRISON FIELD
Search for Metal in Place For
merly Used as Dump by
Electric Concern.

In typical Western manner mining is
being don. in Harrison, and, according
to the Operator" with success. Plati-
mum is the ore that is being sought.
At the present time the precious metal
brings as high as 1888 per ounce. The
mine is located in a tract of land
west of Kingsland avenue, between
Hamilton and Cross streets.
William Wehner, 20 years old, who
resides at 712 Hamilton street. Har-
rison, is the prospector. Wehner. VINO
has lived in Harrison nearly all h;'
life, has followed the digging and sift-
ing for platinum for about eight years.
At the point where Wehner is now
seeking the ore the General Electric
Company about twelve or thirteen
years ago dumped all Of its broken
lamps.
The ground was covered yer with
dirt taken from streets that have been
improved. William J. Davis, of Har-
rison, who is said to be the owner of
the land. last week gave Wehner per
mission to dig. A sluice-box, which is
used for sitting the sand as dug out,
was at once erected and the mining
work was begun.
Wehner hired John O'Neil, George
Cotton and a pair of Cubans to help
him in his work. About seven tons OF
sand have been put through the wash
ing process, and Wehner, so he de-
clared today, has gotten almost two
ounces of platinum. A STAR repre-
sentative visited the place today and
found both Wehner and O'Neil hard
at work.
The boss miner did not hesitate to
answer questions that were asked re-
garding his enterprise. There is good
money in this business" he began, but
a fellow has F, have plenty of patience.
The work is tedious, and one must not
be disappointed if he works for a day
or two and does not sieve out any
mental he concluded.
The Cubans. not accustomed to the
climate, are i'll. That the fou have
done good work, at least In excavating
is shown by the fact that two large
holes, each about five feet deep, have
been dug. Considerable water has
been taken from Frog Pond" which
is adjacent to the mines" Wehner de-
clared that there was a quantity Of
platinum at the bottom of the pond
and if 1t is possible he intends t.
get it.

SAYS LEWIS IS A
BOSS, WHO STANDS
WITH GUARDIANS
Senator Osborne Hits at Repub-
lican GubernatOriaI Nominee
in East Orange.

Senator Harry V. Osborne classed
Vivian NJ. Lewis, the Republican
gubernatorial nominee, in the ceterie
known as the Board of Guardians last
night in a speech at a Democratic rally
in the Nassau Public School, East Or
ange. Mr.. Lewis, he said, stood pat
with such bosses as Baird and Strong,
and was even one of them, being the
boss of Passaic county.
The late hour at which Mr.. Lewis
came out for reform measures sur
prised the Senator, he said, being first
a constitutional Governor and ten days
later coming out for more than that.
. Besides electing DIR. Wilson, Senator
Osborne asked for the election of the
Democratic Assembly ticket n de-
clared responsibility could then be
placed where it belonged. He went into
detail telling of the misdoings of the
men on the Republican Assembly ticket
who were legislators at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature n their
in regard to the public utilities
bill. besides telling something of in
terest regarding Senate Wakelee, who,
he claimed, had looked after the care
of the special interests in the southern
section.
Senator Osborne referred to the
charges of repeating made against the
Republicans in East Orange, and said
he was surprised TO find that East
Orange was the field for such opera
tons. He declared he had not heard
of repeaters in South Orange, his home
town, as yet, but they may get over
there. He told of his independence as
a Democrat, and said Woodrow Wilson,
the Democratic candidate for Governor,
stands for the highest ideal of citizen
ship.
Alfred H.. HoIbrook, a Republican
county committeeman. presided at the
meeting in the interests of Julian A.
Gregory, who is running as 1ndepen-
dent and Democratic candidate for
mayor. Introducing Senator Osborne,
Mr.. Holbrook said he had not intended
to introduce other Democrats, but Ike
others. he was willing to take a stiff
lose of tonic to improve the condi-
tions of his party. Walter l. Mccoy,
candidate for Congress, and Colonel
Joseph w. Slower also spoke.
