"ST PlMe ' ;US, OREGON A process for tempering gold and copper to the hardness of the finest steel is the wonderful discovery made by Zenas F. Vaughn, a former Dallas jeweler, now a resident of Los Angeles, Gold knives and surgical instruments capable of taking on a razor edge are now being turned out at his faotory in that city. The announcement of Vaughn's discovery a few mouths ago caused a great sensation in the scien tific world, and many would cot be convinced of its truth until a factory was established and the actual manu facture of gold instruments begun. While in Los Angeles recently, Fred Toner visited "Mr. Vaughn's factory and found him busy turning out surgeon's knives, needles and iustru ments of all kinds. Eight men are now at work in the factory, and seven more have been employed and are on their way from the east. Orders are received faster than they can be filled, although the plant has been in oper ation only a few weeks and little advertising has been done. Mr. Vaughn was recently offered $140,000 for his secret, but refused the money. The delicate surgeon's knives now being manufactured are as keen as any steel blades ever produced. Thrown poiut downwards they will stick into a hard table-top and stand there quivering. For surgical pur poses instruments of tempered gold are said to be superior to those of steel because of the keener cutting edge, and because no mlcroscopio speck of rust can harbor dangerous germs The hypodermic, suture and other surgical needles are perfectly aseptic and can be used in cases where the steel needle is barred. A surgeon's lance, presented to Mr. Toner by the inventor, is a beautiful piece of work manship and has been greatly ad mired by all who have seen it. Mr. Vaughn began his investiga tions 18 years ago, and has been tleadily at itever since. He does not claim to have discovered a lost art, but to have invented means whereby gold, silver and copper, either separ ately, or in alloy, can be taken through the various degrees of crys tallization which correspond to the several tempers known in the arts. Mr. Vaughn's invention has already brought him fame, and it bids fair to also bring him a fortune. Not Same Smith. The man who was killed at New Era on Tuesday morning was not the man Smith who was known in Linn and Polk counties, who married the daughter of Mr. Eckhart of Lacomb, and who committed some crimes of obtaining money under false pre tenses at Falls City and Dallas. Mr. Eckhart, the father-in-law of the Linn and Folk county Smith, went to Ore gon City to view the remains of the dead outlaw and at once declared they were not those of his son-in-law. The dead outlaw shows unmistakable evi dence of having considerable negro blood in his veins, while the other Smith did not show any mixed blood. This latter Smith was in Salem a little over a month ago, after he had com mitted the crimes in Polk county with which he is charged. The Polk county officers were on his trail and notified the officers in this city, who became aware of his presence here, but he managed to leave the city in time to avoid arrest He had over $100 in gold with him at that time, but where he went Is not known. The search for him will be resumed now that it is known be is not the man who was killed.
