TAKES GOLD FROM BLACK SAND
J. B. Rosaman of St Paul. Minn.,
and his son Arthur Rossman, arrived
in Haines Wednesday from Cahoon
creek and left for Skagw&y on the
Hegg. They sailed south Thursday
on the Princess May.
Mr. Rossxnan left for Cahoon creek
Aug. 12 to instal the gold separating
machine of which he is the inventor,
and which is designed to separate
gold from base ore and black sand ,
without smelting or forming a solu
tion.
The machine has been very success
ful and both Mr. Vogel and Mr. Ross
man think that It has passed the ex
perimental stage. Two more machines
will in all probability be installed
next year.
The machine wa3 at first somewhat
handicapped by the presence of arsen
leal sands, but this difficulty was ob
viated and the concentrates obtained
from the machine run from $1S per
ton upwards. The success of the ma
chine will practically mean a new
era In gold mining, for heretofore It
has been almost Impossible to get
pay from black sand. Mr. Rossman
says it will increase the value of the
Cahoon creek properties 50 per cent.
Mr. Rossman will return to Haines
next year.
