Toitland man has completed a novel leaching plant for the extraction of precious A metals from ores, the Carvin cyanid It is known as extraction mill, , ., r ... ana is tne invention ol Jvawara J. i i . , Liarvin, who has organized the ' arviu Cyarndv Ilxtrac tijn com pany to manufacture it. Mr. Gar vin has been working on the prin ciple for many mouths, and recently erected a machine of working size, which he is operating at the labor atory of the Montana Metallurgical Works, 2oM Stark street. There is nothing new in the crushing principle, Mr. Garvin seek- . . ' er- ing only to attain higher efficiency in agitation of the pulp in solution, more ready extraction and electric precipitation of values from the sol ution in a practical way. Tn attain ing this ho pumps solution and pulp from a discharge point at the bottom of the leaching vat to the top again, which keeps the entire product thoroughly mixed. To avoid the difficulty of slimes or fines coating his cathodes in precip itation, the clearest part of the sol ution is constantly decanted from the top of the vat and run through the precipitating box, this process continuing while extraction is in progress. When the pulp is first delivered to the vat it runs over a shaking amalgam plate to take up the coarser gold which resists cyan ide longer. Kd C. Morse, metallurgist, tested the pulp and solution in the recent test completed, with results that are highly satisfactory. In the first work grinding was to 6o-mesh. The sample taken of this ore before ad mitting the solution gave $18.39 gold and $1.08 silver. A 1 per cent solution was turned on. After three hours agitation a sample of the pulp showed it to carry only 1.24. A sample taken in six hours showed the pulp to carry but 10 cents, indicating nearly a complete extraction. Tests of the solution showed that the extraction was more rapid than precipitation. The first solution analysis, made three hours after agitation commenced, showed that it yet carried $3 .36 a ton, in six -if Bright, New, New Clothing, New Dry Goods, j New Shoes, New Furnishing Goods for Ladies' and Gentlemen Come and inspect our goods before buying elsewhere and you will find what you want. 1$ Our prices are strictly honest.

To get a lare anode surface in the precipitating chamber a scries in sheet form is set in close proxi mity to the cathode. The cathode has been given cylindrical form and is made to revolve slowly, the lower quarter of the periphery pass ing through amalgam. This has the effect of depositing the metal particles in the amalgam as quickly as tiny are formed on the cathode, and cleanses the surface of the lat ter for more ready reception of new precipitates. The several persons that have viewed the Garvin machine admit frankly that it has a new principle. Agitation is perfect and the finer the grinding the better the machine works. The inventor says that the cost of pumping the soluiion and pulp will not be materia 'y greater than to run a vanner. Students of electrolytic processes admit that the Portland man has overcome one fault that was serious in all pre vious experiments of this character and expect important developments. The F.mploye Who ".Makes Good." Seattle Times. There is a certain class of young men never out of employment be cause there are "too few" of Lim to J go round. He is a cheerful fellow. I Then there is another class, so much ! in Ihe majority that it becomes a drug on the market, and, conse . quently, is not desired anywhere, lie is the gloomy fellow. The employe with a cheerful disposition is the one who forges ahead to responsible berths and high-salaried positions. His tem perment popularizes him with tm- I ployers and customers. He is al- wa3-s a worker, performing his dut ; ies with eyes on the welfare of the business, uot upou the clock and pay day. Snob a young man soon becomes indispensible. His advance ( ment is rapid, for and employer will mot permit such an assistant to I escape him. The "sombre-faced clerk" is de 1 pressing. An atmosphere of chill pervades the store in which he i works. Employers and employees ; are affected by it, and customers ; feel its influence. Such clerks cause trade to go elsewhere and business men are forced to retire them before they ; have impaired the efficiency of other employes and reduced the receipts of the sales to a low ebb. A cheerful clerk is "a thing of beauty and a joy forever." A sour , faced employee is a mill stone about I necks of his fellow workmen and B. 0 1 IS FILLED WITH Up-io-GateGoofb LEADERS IN v MERCHANDISING the business he is hired to increase. He Las no usefulness and his dis missal is summary. Civilty of Hpeech brings macj re wards. Husincss activity destroys pessi mism. Some clerks are afraid to use their bruins for fear of exhausting the supply. A man seldom meets defeat until he is so sure of himself that he quits hustling. Even dignity may be car nod to a point of intemperance. Energy is tho deadly foe of men tal rust. Geniality properly distributed enriches tho field of friendship. I'eHsirnism is a drug on the mar ket; optimism always commands a high premium. Election of Officers. The Woman's Club of Cottage Grovo held its annual election of officers at the Commeroial Club rooms on Saturday, May 27, 1905. The following officers were elected: Mrs. Katie Veatch, president; Mrs. Eva Wheeler, vice president; Mrs. Clara Burkholder, recording secre tary; Mrs. Olivia Eakin, correspon ding secretary ; Mrs. Mae Thompson, treasurer. The history of England in con nection with reading from John L. Stoddard's lectures of England, Scotland and London proved to be an instructive and interesting studj for the past year. Unusual interest has been manifested and the limit of membership has been enlarged from 1H to 25. The members feel very grateful to the Commercial Club for the use of their reception rooms for a place of meeting the past year and also for the generous offer they have ex tended to the Club, the privilege of holdiug our meetings there the com ing year.
