GLOBE MAN INvENTs
NEW MINE PROCESS
Smelter Will Be Eliminated Under
Scheme Devised by Col. James A.
Fleming.

Colonel James A. Fleming, of Globe
this week received information from
Washington, D. c., that patent had
been granted him by the United
States patent Office on his Invention
of device or machine for extracting
valuable minerals, such as gold,
silver and copper from the ores by
what is called the wet process, or re-
Iversing natures infiltration deposit
process.
For hundreds of years it has been
said by the best metallurgists that
some day a practical and economical
discovery would be made doing away
with the expensive and unnatural
practice Of smelling. Possibly one
half million dollars per year for the
past twenty years has been expended
over the world trying to make per-
feet and practical this process Of ex-
traction.
Mr.. Fleming's discovery Che is sole
owner of the patent) is the result of
his seventeen years and more of prac-
teal experiments and tests, employ
ing the best talent in the land to as
sist him. with an expenditure OF pos
sibly $250,0O0 in cash. The process,
like all other valuable discoveries is
very simple and cheap in installation,
uses no ore tanks or watts, does not
even use a shovel. The process is
practically continuous, fast working
and the ore is held in captivity until
the last trace of the valuable mineral
is extracted.
He has what is called basic patent
or original discovery claim, all of
which cannot and will not be disputed
by any person who has any knowledge
of the business coming from actual
experimental practice or from general
study to accomplish perfect results.
Col. Fleming is a lineal decendent
of William Fleming, many years ago
professor of metallurgy at Edinburgh
University, Scotland, who wrote
many books on metal extraction and
refining and which books were of
much help in working up to this dis
covery.

Mexican Throws Rocks

Mexican Throws Rocks
The Empire Theatre was the scene
on Sunday night of miniature bat
tie when L. K. Parrish was attack
ed by fusilade of rocks in the
hands of a Mexican. 1t seems that
Mexican attempted to pass an old
entrance ticket on Mr.. Parish, who
was in attendance at thef door, and
he refused to accept the same. A
friend of the Mexican who happened
to be standing by took up the argu-
ment for him and to emphasize his
remarks threw several rocks at Mr..
Parrish, some of which took effect
with the result that the latter was
somewhat cut up during the affair; no
serious injuries resulting however,
The Mexicans we're hailed into courf

Commenting on the subterfuge and
evasions resorted to in the Warren
District by single men, foreigners, to
get on the payroll of the big mining
companies, during the period of cur
tailment, the Bisbee Ore says: TT
has not been easy for bosses or men
at many times to face the conditions
that have come up. Married men,
Americans, have been given the pref
erence at all times. There have,
however, been those whose eagerness
for work coupled with their need of
it has dimmed the value of truth.
Some of them have slipped through
perhaps to jobs that were not strictly
deserved in point of preference. An
instance which has been considerably
quoted the last few days is reported
from the Junction, where a group of
men were being questioned few
days ago and their answers being
taken down on work application
slips. One, all eagerness, made
quick responses after the following
posted manner-and did not go to
work:
you are an American citizen?"
Dammit tell, yes"
You are married MANI"
Dammit tell yes"
you have family?"
Dammit tell yes"
where were you born?"
