Edison is doing in North Carolina, and what are his intentions. Mr. Edi son, to settle these speculative inquiries, has kindly furnished the Chronicle the following authorized interview, which he read over him self before it was printed : "I have been for some years working at my laboratory on a process for working gold sulphur ets; in fact, these experiments have continued nearly twelve years. During that period I have received many thousand samples of ore for test from the Southern gold belt as well as from all parts of the world. Having perfected a process for mill ing every species of sulphurets, no matter how variable or changeable their contents, the next step was to find the sulphurets, and to person ally investigate innumerable fairy stories with which I had been regaled for many years by mining men and owners of mining property. "My first field of investigation is the South, as this region is pre eminently the home of auriferous sulphuret ores. So far I have with my expert, JHr. tsurns, visuea seventy mines. The experience gained enables me to pretty clearly ascertain the assay value of the statements made to me regarding them, as well as to obtain a gen eral idea of the veins in this region, and the reasons which have caused mining ventures to be failures in nearly every instance. These failures have been attributed to the fact that the mills were unable to work the sulphurets, and when BURIED BY A LANDSLIDE. A Destroying 2ass of Earth Three Lives Were Lost. Troy, N. Y., March 15. A land slide at three o'clock this morning carried away a two-story dwelling in the southern part of .the city, and three lives were lost. There were 16 persons in the Canfield House, the first building destroyed. In the Lawrenson House, 7 persons were sleeping. How each one of the inmates es caped is most remarkable. The crash came somewhere be tween 2:30 and 3 o'clock. There was no warning, and the inmates of the dwellings in the path of the destroying mass were quietly sleeping. Their sensations upon awakening, as the. building gave way and they were carried down beneath the ruins, were terrible in the extreme. Just how they es caped death is a mystery to them. The crash came, and they went down under the falling bricks and lumber, and after being imprison ed in the suffocating mass of what seemed to them a grave, they suc ceeded in getting out into the air. Their cries for help alarmed the neighbors. It was dark and they look in vain for the house that had stood ITEMS OF INTEREST.
