FAIRBANKS MAN TESTIFIES IN GOLD CONSPIRACY CASE SPOKANE, Wash., June 17 A mining engineer testified today in the “atomic gold” conspiracy trial that gold samples California claims were “foreign to our operation.” Frank Redmond, Fairbanks, Al- aska, mining engineer, testified in Federal Court that he found a. trace of mercury in gold he sampled for the Northwest Mining and Engi- neering Company at Sierra. City, Calif. Redmond said F. E. Nemec, Gen- eral Manager of the company and one of the seven defendants in the case, hired him to take charge of the operation. He panned the gold samples at Nemec's request, he said. “The gold I recovered contained a trace of mercury on it,” Redmond testified. “I called Nemec's atten- tion to it. I realized the gold was foreign to our operation. There was no way that gold could come into our sluice box. Nemec didn’t agree with me.” United States Attorney Harvey Erickson has said the government would attempt to prove that the claims were ‘“salted.” Defendants are accused of collecting $200,000 from investors in a scheme to ex- tract gold from black sand by a “secret atomic process.” COMMERCE OFFICE WILL' CLOSE.
