WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. (AP)
Government mining experts said to-
day the depression's gold-rush was a
flop.
A group of works progress ad minis
tratlon experts who checked up on
the prospects for the Jobless finding
gold along creeks of thho west report'
ed that of all the Ideas for relieving
unemployment, this was "the most
romanticized and exaggerated."
Although placer-mines In the richer
areas still strike a few bonanzas, the
experts said, the 28,000 small opera
tors panning creek-water for gold av
eraged 972 apiece In 1035.
Auto itulns Romance.
. Even the romance Is running thin
because rattletrap cars have replaced
the old prospector's burro, and the
ptacer-mlners shake the gold out of
the water by machinery (If at all)
Instead of by hand.
The placer mining still has Its good
points.
The experts commented:
"Although the Income of the small
gold miner Is low, the life has many
features that lure him. Besides be
ing free from rent and practically all
other expenses except food; the min
er works without supervision. His
hours are his own and his vacations
are tnken when wanted. The million-to-one
chance against the miner ap
parently does not deter him from
dreaming that his next clean-up will
produce a nugget."
Average f-14.
In Oregon, 3.320 placer minors
found 4.020.80 fine ounces which
brought them $140,730. or $44 apiece.
Only 250 miners went Into the
mountains of Washington, but their
average yield was higher. . For the
1,547.60 ounces they panned from the
CTeeks, they received $54,160, or $217
each.
Idaho streams yielded 8,134.07 fine
ounces worth s a 84, 90 2 to the 1,314
miners In the field. The average was
$217 per man.

Wetter water answer to the pray
ers of millions for something to take
dust out of the air like nothing else
ever did became a reality today.
Thl latest miracle of chemistry
was announced (to the American
Chemical Society by B. G. Wllkea of
the Mellon Instlute of Industrial Re
search, Pittsburgh, and J. N. Wlckert
of the Carbide and Carbons Chemical
Corporation, South Charleton, West

Alcohol Does It.
It's no pun, but "Wetter water" la
made that way with alcohol. There's
nothing Intoxicating about the stuff.
The. alcohol la a new "synthetic,"
something that does not exist In na
ture. It Is made from waste gas of
oil wella. The new feature of this
alcohol la the giant size of Its mole
cules. They have a most peculiar effect on
ordinary water. A few drops of this
"oil well hootch" added to a gallon
of water actually makes It "wetter."
That la, tho wator wets whatever it
touches almost Instantly. Things like
yarns that would take an Indefinite
time, many minutes as a rule, to wet
through In water, soak In a few sec
onds in "wetter water."
Fine For Laying Dust.
Most spectacular was a dust laying
experiment. In a work room where
the dust waa hazy thick and breath
ing risky, on ordinary water spray
fell through tho air without relief.
"Wotter water" Mr. Wilkes said,
made the air almost entirely clear,
and solved the health hazard. The
wet water simply soaked Instantly ev
ery dust particle It touched where or
dinary water dropa had been "glanc
ing off."
Pine sprays of ordinary water are
tho main reliance of architects and:
onglneera for cleaning the dust out
of air-conditioned buildings, homes
and railroad coaches.
The "wetter water" enhances the
dead linens of most bug and Insect
sprays, it makes these lethal liquids
spread faster and farther.
Good Spray Remover.
Old wall paper Is said to give up
the ghost and start peeling when
wetter water hits It. It Is also a
good remover of the poisons left on
fruits from insect sprays, Mr. Wilkes
reported.
The main uses of wetter water
are industrial. These were named as
including bleaching. mercer J r-lng.
conditioning cotton yarn and fabric.
dyeing and felting of wool, and uses!
In leather, paper, ceramics, paints,
metals, pharmaceuticals, oils and cos- j
metles.
Wetter water, said the scientist,
even Is good for Its papa, the oil j
well. It aids In spreading faster the
acids used to Improve the yield of
oil sands.
"Industry they reported, "will now
become wetter water conscious."
