No. 15830.—5th January, 1903.—HENRY MOORE SUTTON, WALTER LIVINGSTONE STEELE, EDWIN GOODWIN STEELE, and WILLIAM FOLSETTER, all of Dallas, Texas, United States of America, Manufacturers. Improvements in electrostatic magnetic separators.*

Extract from Specification.—This invention relates to an electrostatic magnetic separator, and more particularly to a magnetic separator in which the separation is assisted by the presence of static electricity. The invention has for an object to produce a process and apparatus for accomplishing the most efficient magnetic separation in which the action of a magnetic roller is assisted and materially improved by the presence of a static current, which separation is also adapted to remove therewith very fine values of gold, which can be subsequently separated by a magnetic treatment alone. A further object of the invention is to provide an improved form of magnetic separator, and also of a cleaner-roller adapted to remove the material attracted to the magnetic roller. Another object of the invention is to provide a statically charging moving surface beneath the magnetic rolls, which rolls are inductively charged from the frame of the machine with a static current in addition to the magnetic current generated therein. Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth, and the novel features thereof defined by the claims.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

No. 15933.—30th January, 1903.—JAMES HOLMS, Jun., of Waimahaka, Southland, New Zealand, Farmer. Improvements in coupling-links.*

[NOTE.—The title in this case has been altered. See list of provisional specifications, Gazette No. 13, of the 19th February, 1903.]

Extract from Specification.—This invention provides a simple interlocking coupling without springs, which is easily and quickly attached to rings, links, and the like, and which is secure whether the chains or the like attached to it are loose or taut. The peculiar formation of the parts of the coupling and the hooked ends thereof give them a tendency to immediately lock on the links and the like when the strain
