A. L. McEwen Now in Charge of the
Property for the New Owner.
Alter doens of rumors from as many
sources, it can now be definitely stated for
a fact that the Ibex mine has passed Into
new hands. The first cash payment, a
substantial one at that, was made last
Friday and the deed placed in escrow.
The new owner of this valuable prop
erty is Colonel S. W. Hay, a resident of
Fort Arthur, Canada, but who lias been
in this city and district since October 17,
on a mission which is now partially ac
complished by this new acmiMtion, though

as 77 tentlgrainines per ton may W estab-
llshed. The operation is as follews:
A inutility of huely powdered ore, say
120 grammes,, Is introduced iutoatl.isk.
To this an eual volume of tincture of io
dine is added, and the mixture well agi
tated. It Is thru Icll (or an hour, agitat
ing from time to time, and Is finally al
lowed to stand. When the solution has
separated, a band of niter paper Is sat
urated with this, and the paper allowed to
dry. This operation Is repeated live or
six limes In succession, in order to com
pletely saturate the paper. It Is after
ward Calcined, and it will be observed that
the ash, when gold Is present, offers a
purple color. This color should disappear
quickly if the ash is moistened with bro
mine water.
The test may be modified in the follow
ing manner: A quantity of the powder,
120 grammes, Is covereJ with bromine
water, and after agitating during the
course of an hour, the solution is filtered.
Upon adding protochlorlde of tin to the
solution, It takes a purple color, In the
presenct of gold, giving the reaction
known as "Purple of Casslus." In the
case of sulphides the ore should be pre
viously roasted, and when the mineral
contains a considerable proportion of car
bonate of lime, It should be calcined In
he presence of ammonium carbonate
