Yale Professor
Ends Search For
Moonshine' Gold
TRepuhIIean a. p. Leased Wlrel

BERLIN. Jan. 25-Search Of Pro-
fessor Irving Fisher of Yale univer-
sity for "moonshine" gold ended
abruptly yesterday when he was in
formed by a scientist that the Ger
man who had claimed the discovery
of synthetic gold process was a
fraud and had a prison record.
DR.. Fisher will leave tomorrow for
home. He came here to study the
German currency problem. His in
vestigation into synthetic gold was
incidental.
In a typewriter statement he said
that the purported inventor Offered
to demonstrate his process for max
ing synthetic gold, but that for some
unexplained reason Professor Fisher
did not accept IL. After recounting
his Investigations, Professor Fisher
said:
"a distinguished German scientist
has just told me that the man-the
supposed inventor OF synthetic gold
lis a fraud and has a prison record.
My friend who gave me the original
information said he had known the
man for years and assured me that
the one thing he was sure OF was
that the man was not a fraud, how
ever mistaken he might be about his
supposed invention. I am now dis
posed to believe that he was misled.'
Professor Fisher said that the Ger
man government had not taken much
stock In the mans synthetic gold
story, and that those mostly inter-
ested were scientists.
II was stated by Professor Fisher
that he had ascertained here that
during the war the German govern
produce gold by new methods and
had succeeded in extracting gold
from sea water, but not on a paying
basis.

WARNS OWNERS Of
MINING CLAIMS To
COMPLY WITH LAW

For the protection of mining claim
owners In Arizona, w. j. Galbraith,
attorney general, issued a statement
yesterday relative to the new fed
eral law concerning annual assess
ment work on mining claims,
Warning claim owners TO be care
full in complying with the terms Of
the law that they may not mad
vertently expose their claims to claim
jumpers and lose valuable property
rights, Mr.. Galbraith calls attention
the changes in the law.
The law having to do with time
in which annual labor must he done
on mining claims, reads as follows:
''The period within which the work
required to be done annually on all
unpatented mineral claims located
since May 10, 1872, shall commence
at II o'clock noon on the first day
OF July after the date of location
OF such claim, provided that on all
uch valid existing claims the annual
period ending December 81. 1921,
shall continue to IL o'cock noon, of
July 1, 1922"
Mr. Galbraith said that in his opin-
ion this law should be interpreted
in the following manner:
That on al claims where under the
old law, the annual work should have
been done on or before December 81.
1891, the owner of the claim shall
have up to noon of July /. 1929, in
which to do his work. In other words
all claims located in 1920 or before,
the claimants have until January /,
1929, in which to do their annual
work. All claims located on or aft
er January /, and before noon cf
July l, 1921, the claimants have until
noon, July /, 1922, In which to do
their work. All claims located on
