Thomas (Si O'Neill U)Q Housefurnishers HE CYANIDING OF SULPHIDE ORES URGE OREGON MEN TO HELP LOCAL MINING Californlans Say Oregon People Do Not Appreciate Min eral Possessions. Cheap milling for heavy sulphide ores Is of immense Importance to Northern Colorado aud other milling regioua wlnre conditions are similar. Iu the aulphido belt, which extends through Clear Creek, Gilpin and Boulder Counties, there are large de posits of low-grade ore in which the gold, ooustltutlug the greater part of the value, occurs included iu iron pyrites. Owing to the sharp relief of mouutaina and canyons, the re gion ia admirably adapted to exten ivn development and cheap mining by means of runnels. The problem Is oheap treatment for the ore after it a mined. Tests made at the old Sau Is las miue near Waid, Colorado, apparently prove that the problem has beeu solved. The ore is first reduced by crushers aud rolls to a fluenesa of twenty-mesh. It ia theu roasted to drive olf the aulphur, aud finally It a leached iu tauka with cyanide anlution in the ordinary umunur. More than 90 per ceut of the gold values in the ore is recovered. Iu the whole process there ia ouly one danger to be guarded agaiuat. It Is a question of delicate roasting. There must be Jutt heat enough to eiH)l the sulphur without changing the oro from a granular state to a matte. A single stick of wood too much might fuse the mass and pro. duoe a matte that could uot be treated with cyanide. The experiments already made with the process have beeu ou a commer cial scale, and loams to bo conclusive. A rotary furnace of proved etlluieucy ia uow being constructed under the direction of Richard Morrison, the mill auieriuteudnut, aud it will he iu ieratlon at the initio within a few weeka. Mr. Morrison deserves credit for the bolduess of his plan Iu attacking the problem, as well as for its successful execution. The process promises to be one of great value in the sulphide belt.

They have had little opportunity to study mineral forma tions save at tome of the more promi nent points aud the collection which Is on exhibit at the fair. The latter charmed them. Taking this aggrega tion of ores and studying the map iu connect iou therewith they have concluded that the niiuoral area of the state has luitueuae proportions. "I never realized before that gold, silver aud copper were being mined over such a vast region in your statu," said Mr. Grigidiy. "Yon speak of districts, but the frequeuoy with which mineral ia miued aeema to Indicate that there la a general oc currence, with ouly plaoca where crnppiugs or favorable conditions have facilitated milling.
