Chicago man touts black sand gold claim in Snake River
George W. McGhee of Chicago and D. J. Cahill arrived in the city for the summer to study a new method they claim extracts gold from black sand in Idaho placers. McGhee says the sand contains titanium-bound gold up to 30 percent that cannot be saved by smelting, but initial tests produced higher gold returns after treatment. He is not selling rights but buying black sand for a Chicago plant already processing sand from Alaska, with potential for a local breach plant and a major mining industry center on the Snake River.
