EXTRACTING GOLD
 FROM SEA WATER
One of the Great Frauds on
 the CredulOus
BIG SALE OF STOCK
Promoter Seemed to Be Able to Get Gold From Water and the News Spread Like
 Wildfire

From the New York Press.
 Various inventors have been working for years on the theory that there is plenty of gold in sea water if only some process of extraction could be developed.
 A few years ago Rev. Prescott J. Jerne- gan was the salt water wizard of the hour. From the day his bubble burst and he left for Europe nobody seems to know what has become Of him. Jernegans who posed as a Baptist clergyman, and c. E. Fisher. once a f1oorwalker in New York department store and before that diver, got together in the fall of 1896 and for a whole year carefully considered the prob lem of extracting gold from salt water. It Is true their whole field of thought compasssd the use of salt water as an accessory only, the real material from which the gold was to be extracted being the American people.
 Yrey artistically Jernegan, to whom was left the matter of publicity, per mitted some vague rumors to leak out. "A leading clergyman had a marvellous money-making device. The world was soon to be stunned by fact that would make the possessor of the original se- cret so rich that all the multimilion- aires would be paupers in comparison. :" When they had stirred up public curios- ity Jernegan and Fisher went to New England and there set up some myste- rious machinery
 On Narragansett Bay was an old, half dismantled wharf, and at the sea end of this the two erected a cheap frame shanty abont by 10 in size, with a square hole cut through the floor and looking directly down into about 15 feet of water. An electric wire from a small battery was run along the piling of the wharf and attached to mysterious box, with heavy iron clamps and holes all through to permit of free passage of the water back and forth.
 Finally the great secret was dvulged- these two men had discovered d way of taking all the gold they wanted from the salt water at a cost so triflSlg that it was ridiculous to mention It. Two wealthy persons, one a Providence jeweler and the other New York florist, were ap- preached by Jernegan with what seemed to be such Q trustful and childlike pro- posal that they both embraced it eagerly It was that, all his apparatus being ready for experiment. they would come to the shanty on the wharf prepared to go through a nights vigil and witness the result, accompanied by any scientific friends they cared to bring along.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-11-10
ReceptacIe of Mercury

The idea, as outlined by Jernegan, was to send current into a,pan of mercury held within the box, the receptacle then being sent to the bottom of the sea and drawn up after several hours, when 1t would be found that the mercury had ab- sorbed gold from the ocean.
 When the night of the experiment came the box was prepared in the shanty two chemists, friends of the capitalists, bring ing their own mercury with them. The box was lowered to the bottom and then ihe party of five began their wait. Soon after daylight Jernegan announced that it was time to draw the box up again. This was done and the whole party eager ly set to work to find out whether any good had been received. When the chem ists announced that gold to the value of $14 was found mixed with the quicksilver all were stunned by the discovery and realized at once the vast possibilities in more extensive operations, the original experiment having been practically made with toy apparatus.
 The story spread like wildfire and the modest Jernegan was prevailed upon to organize a company. Stock was sold, and after getting possession of thousands of dollars the promoter sailed away to Eu- rope. The success of the great experi- ment was explained afterward. Fisher, the diver, had gone out from the shore in his suit opened the box and, taking out the mercury that had been brought by the tchemists, substituted a vial of his own that had been strongly impreg- mated with gold.
 Both before and since the Jernegan fraud many attempts have been made to extract gold from salt water some of them fraudulent some genuine and based on scientific grounds that have from time to time appealed even to deep students But all so far have failed dismally. Though traces of gold are to be found in salt water, commercial application is practically impossible

NEGROES AGAINST

BY J. r. CRAUNE.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2O.-william
n Lewis or Boston. the colored as
sistant Encouragement, whom Roose-
VET when President appointed dis
trict attorney OF the Massachusetts
district. has turned against Roosevelt
with a powerful arraignment of his al,
titude towards the negro. Mr.. Lewis.
In an address TO the people OF his
race, advises them to stand by the
Republican party for its fair stand
towards the colored man, and not be
lured away to the Progressives Mr..
Lewis says in part:
The Progressive party has no rec
ord OF performance: IL is only a voice
and promise. Progressive in theory.
II Is reactionary in fact. II stands
for equal and exact justice for all
men except the colored man. His
rights are determined by the preju-
dices OF his neighbors. The disfran-
chisement OF 100000 Of citizens in
the South from party representation
IN the new party was the worst blow
that the race has received in the last
hfty years, because ours is a party
government. because Il is the only
means through which the citizen can
make his ideas OF government prevail.
and when he IL denied his represen-
tation there. he is denied a funda-
mental right essential to liberty and
Happiness.
The policy Of the Progressive party
Is both brutal and hypocritical. and

They came back as delegates from
Mississippi 10 the Progressive con
vention and were cruelty and coldly
thrust aside for a lily-white delegation
from that state.
Il say that II was hypocritical be-
cause the real motive behind the
policy was not 20 benefit the negro but
TO secure. n possible. the electoral
vote OF some OF the Southern States.
II was hypocritical because II exclud-
ed the negro where he had no vote
and tried to propitiate him in the
North. where he had a vote. by giving
him a few hand picked delegates. thus
playing on the Northern against the
Southern negro.
The Progressive party overlooked
just one thing I'm formulating this
policy and that was that the Northern
negro came from the South. He has
