MINNEAPOLIS. May e.
A cannon in which steam
provides the explosive force
was exhibited at the Uni-
verslty Of Minnesota this
week as the chief figure in
= new process OF separating
valuable ores from worthless
rocks.
It is the invention OF r. S
Dean OF washington, CHIEF en-.
gineer of the metalIurgical diyi
sion Of the United States bureau
OF mines. It has been perfected
at the University by John Cross
a bureau metallurgist, who pre-
dicted the process will revolu-
tionize methods OF separating
lead, iron. zinc and other metals
from substances with which they
are found.
AS the first step. ores are inn
mersed In water, soaking into
pores and cracks IN the rocks.
1t Is then run into the cannon
which resembles a wheelless To-
connective. Water is added and
boiled to provide a pressure Of
$50 pounds.
Meanwhile water in the pores
has turned to steam and at the
maximum pressure a lever, the
lannon's trigger, Is pulled. the
steam expands with a roar. the
ore is hurled into a container
and is found reduced 10 pulver-
lied form, ready for smelling.
Mr. Gross said the process will
provide for a greatly increased
rate OF recovery OF valuable ores

A number Of men are wash

argument that the lack Of
water would prevent this kind
Of activity.
The history Of placer gold
mining in this section has been
a story of indifference to a pos
sibility that now looms import
ant before the unemployed.
Mr.. HHhiers states that in all
cases where prospectors from
California and Colorado look
ed for placer gold in this
section they found it. Often
they made their stakes by
packing their dirt on burrOs
to the nearest water. One old
prospector, known personally
by Mr.. Theirs, made from SIS
to $50 a day By packing the
dust on his back to a lead-sil-

water in it. He did that for
several months and took out
enough to keep him the balance
Of his days and there was still
money in the bank for his heirs
