Regnant, Ga., Dec. 29.—Joseph Sumner,
a young man of 18, accidentally shot him

of going. hunting. Upon examining tho

EDISON’S PROJECT OF EXTRACTING
ORE BY MAGNETISM.
Great Bowlders Chewed Up Llko Pea

93,000,000 to Build—It Pays

From the PJtteburg Dispatch.
Orange, N. J., Dec. 24.—At Edison,
N. J., in the heart of a wild mountain re
gion, ore situated n, number of buildings,
great and small. A frightful roar comes
from BOOM of thorn.
From a wooden chute which juts out
from a big wooden structure that resem
bles a grain elevator more -than anything
else there dropped today thousands of
little black objects. They were of the
aize and shape of butter cakes. They
were little cakes of Bessemer, baked hard
as flint, nnd rolling into cars ready~ior
transportation, to itlie blast furnaces in
Pennsylvania. Those little black cakes
mark the greatest achievement in the
eaivcr of Thomas A. Edison.
After years of incessant labor in study
ing out the problem, he has now a plant
which covers eleven acres, and 4s the
biggest mill in the world. It has cost him
in round figures 82,000,000. He has
stretch of mountains thirty-three miles
long as a base of supplies, and in that
has more ore thm> «H ,the rest of the
United States put together.
Edison has in operation at this plant
the biggest traveling cranes ever heard
of. His mills are so large and powerful
that they take a solid bowlder weighing

Chattanooga, Dec. 29.—The holiday ■ ... - . - - - -■. , .
season has, of course, interfered very of 15 per cent, on the capital invested.
done automatically, ai the rate of 6,000
tons a day, and the finished product is
put into the cars, ready to be shipped,
at a cost of 78c a ton. It costs almost 83
a ton to get the richer ore in Pennsylva
nia.
Mr. Edison's system pays a net profit
bottom one is very powerful.
The ground rock passes through the
•reon and starts downward, In front
! the magnets. The magnets jerk the
particles of Iron oxide from the muss
a$» they descend; but the Iron does not
adhere to the magnets. And right
here Is a most surprising sight. The
ore, in passing the first magnet, In
clines toward it. As It pushes down
the ore swings in more toward the
magnets, until, :is it reaches the last
one, It curves Inward nnd under it In
half circle, without any particle of
e adhering to the manger.
In its first passage past the magnets
small quantities i>t‘ stwne stick t-* the
ore. Tho ore la carried upward and
etarted down before the second lot of
magnets after passing through tl mill,
which grinds off the particles of stone.
Tthe first set of magnets extracts 6$
per cent of oxide of iron.. When the
mass has passed the second set of
migncts tl; re is in it 7r> per cent, of
oxide of Iron. Then it. is ground again
fand passes the third and most power
ful set of magnets, which takes the
phosphates out and makes Bessemer
of it. The percentage of Iron oxide is
then from 85 to 87.
From there it passes to a second
stock house, which holds 25,000 tons.
The Bessemer Is drawn out as want
ed. It has passed through nil the pro
cesses auto mat ioally. Men aro em
ployed, but only to watch the ma
chinery.
The little black cakes are called bri
quettes, and nro made in a separate
plant. There aro a number of ma
chines which make them and the pro
cess Is just ns interesting as any other
part of the work.
Today they nre beingr shipped to the
