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
