F. J. I lard ma in a flying trip to
Portland last week, after a whort
stay'iu the (Jrovo ordering a big
load of supplies for the four-horse
le.un to take to the milieu. Mr.
Hard is very enthusiastic over tho
prospects of the Vesuvius ami the
other mines and hopes to have
Homelhing do'.ng mighty quick. Mr.
Hard dem rves success for he has
been at it for years faithfully amidst
tho hardest and most trying diffi
culties nnd his faith and persover
veranco in tho I'.ohcinia mines, have
done much to bring their present
stngc of development and will bo
remembered when the camp be
comes known everywhere as a pro-
tahles tin heavier pieces of ore con
taining metal pass over another
table called a concentrator which
catches all that Is valuable callud
concentrates, the waste washing
away. Later, the concentrates arc
gathered and shipped to a smolter
for treatment
W'heu the mill has run as long
as is dordred the mercury is cleaned
from the tables aud is put in a re
tort, and melted, when the mer
cury passes off into a vessel and
loaves the gold in a fairly pure
state in the retort, ready to bo sent
to a mint or refiner. i
A smelter is for the purpose of 1
extracting values from ores which 1
can only bo obtained by melting !
them in a furnace in combination
with other materials, called fluxes.
Smelters require a. great deal of
machinery and cost many times the
amouut a stamp mill of like ton
uage would cost, but handle very
different ores.
