BICKS" i AUTOMATIC ¢ PLACER GIANT DEVELOPED By GEORG NELSON MEYERS SEATTLE, May 9—®—John A Miscovich of Alaska’s gold-mining Miscoviches has been wrestling giants since he was 8 years old. I was tough, tedious work. Miscovich decided to change al that, and he has. He built hi own giant. In rplacer mining parlance, ¢ giant is an overgrown hose nozzle It directs a powerful spray o water against mountains of muci overlaying bedrock. Operating a giant is one of the most wearying chores in the gol fields. But not Miscovich’s giant—whicl he has given the trade name o Intelligiant. “Look!" exclaimed Miscovich a: 1e demonstrated his invention a the University of Washington hy- draulics laboratory, “Looksn« hands!” 5 Water shot to a distance of 1T fect in a powerful arc. The gian 10zzle slowly swung to right, dippec fown a few degrees, swung left ased upward and started the cycl again, The Intelligiant makes use of it own water power to direct the - | traverse mechanism. Two sets o valves and cylinders control thi pattern of the horizontal and ver: tical sweep. In tests with earlier models, Mis- covich has operated nine giants inassisted, on his mining grounc n Alaska's Iditarod River country Miscovich, 32, was born at Flat cene of a major gold strike in 191C de is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Miscovich, one of the best-know: 1ames in Alaska mining. Veteran miners who have seei ‘he Intelligiant demonstrated de seribe it as the first revolutionar step in hydraulic-mining engineer ng sinece 1870. Miscovich shrugs off the compl nent. “I'm no engineer,” he declare: ‘Heck, I didn’t even get out of higl chool. But I spent plenty of tim sushing giants around. I guess ,ust got tired of working so hard. FROM WHITEHORSE Misses G.
