of gold extraction in ia hours. Ores
included in the above per cent of
gold extraction contain such a
large amount of soluble iron salts as
to render them practically impos
sible to treat by the old methods of
cyanide leaching. Ily our new
process, extraction is effected at a
cost of 29 cents to $1.24 for cya
nide per ton of ore, according to its
character and richness.
"We are treating ores, concen
trates and slimes in charges of 500
to 2 000 pounds from South Ameri
ca, Mexico, Canada and the West
ern and Southern gold regions.
Several lots of these ores contain
such an amount of soluble base me
tallic salts and others are of such a I
clay or slime nature as to render
treatment by other cyanide methods
entirely prohibitive.
"By our process the slimes are
kept entirely disintegrated broken
up and the total amount of gold
and silver in them is more quickly
dissolved than from the coarse
sands."

LIGHT NEWS FR0A1 THE MINES.
News from the mines at Bohe
mia is rather light at this time of
the year. Nearly all the miuers
who spent the holidays with us
have returned to work and few are
coming out.
The good results obtained the
past season by development of
properties has lent new courage to
the owners ol claims and they are
back working hard but saying
little. Good accounts of their labor
may be anticipated by spring.
The older and better equipped prop
erties are pushing work with high
ly satisfactory results.
