CARRIE EvERSON
AND FL0TAT|ON
AUTHORITATIVE REPORT MADE
OF HER CONNECTION WITH
INVENTION

The Colorado Scientific society
recently started an investigation into
the work of Carrie Jane Everson,
who did some early work in con-
nection with the flotation process in
Colorado. The committee of inves-
tigation consisted of H. G. Parme-
less, secretary of the society, Philip
Argall, and George E. Collins; the
last mentioned being chairman or
the committee. The chief result
was to elicit an authoritative &C
count of Mrs. Ev%erson's life from
her son, John Everson of San
Anselmo, Cal. From this account
it appears that many of the details
circulated in the literature of flota-
ton are quite incorrect.
Her maiden name was Billings.
She was born at Sharon, Mass, in
1912, and in 1851, when only nine
years old, went with her parents to
Illinois, where in 1864 she mar
ried William X. Everson,, a physi-
clan and surgeon practicing at Chi
cago. Trough her husband she be-
came interested in chemistry. In
1873 DR.. Everson lost money in one
of Brick Pomeroy's wildcat mining
schemes, causing his wife to seek a
means of adding to their livelihood.
She studied mineralogy and chem
istry, and, as her son states, dis
covered what she termed the chem
ical affinity of oils and fatty sub
stances for mineral particles. She
later qualified this theory when she
learned by further experiments that
other substances would accomplish
the same results, notably wheat
gluten, lamp-black, SCOT, etc.
Her husband became interested in
these experiments and aided her in
obtaining the celebrated patent, No.
34S,157. of August 90, 1885. Two
wears later the family moved to
Denver, where DR.. Everson tried
vainly to get mineral men interested
in the process. He died in 1889.
T%hereupon his widow, being in fl
nancial straits, took to Obstetrical
nursing. At this time she met
L HOuldS T. STllcN, WIN tIlCu W SCI
some people at Baker City, Ore, to
interest themselves in the process.
Criley died shortly afterward.
Then. in 1891, Mrs. Everson met
Charles B.. Hebron, who had a little
knowledge 80 concentrating plants,
and arrare>I to aid her in mechani-
cal details.
The joint patent No. ALTA OF
1891, was a result of this associa-
ton. A Mr.. Pischel of Denver is
also mentioned by her son as hav-
ing become interested to the extent
of furnishing funds for the erection
of a demonstration plant, but a dis
agreement between Hebron and
Pischel caused the abandonment Of
the scheme and a final cessation of
her courageous effort to make some
thing out of her patents. There
upon. in 1892, Mrs. Everson became
visiting nurse of the Denver Flower
Mission and was employed in this
capacity until 1906, when failing
health caused her to accept a posi-
ton as teacher of physiology and
hygiene in the state school for girls
at Morrison. Colo.
In 1909 she Joined her son in San
Francisco, and later at their joint
home at San Anselmo, where she
died on November g., 1914, being
then 70 years of age.-Mining Press.

when the matter came TO a vote In
the House on March 3lst the vote on
the joint resolution was 90 In favor
and 32 opposed with 20 members abb

ure failed by the narrow margin OF ten

Tells of TeutOn Preparation.
Germany's preparedness for war
was brought out clearly by Mr.. Hol-
Stag. He related many incidents
of how that country had prepared
even in the enemy's country. One
of these was a story OF road built
across a marsh in France. He said
that 10 years ago a number of cap
italists started to build a railroad
across this marsh and finally aban-
doned the project. While a battle
was being fought in that vicinity
during the present war, a road made
