THE SUMPTER MINER
1?
OIL CONCENTRATION PROCESS.
"Wi Tried Successfully t E. & E. Sev
eral Year Ago.
A press dispatch of recent date from
Rossland, British Columbia, says:
"I believe in the efficiency of a system
of oil concentration and am perfectly
satisfied that the he Roi ores can be
treated by a process utilizing the princi
ple of oil extraction with excellent re
sults," says Oscar Szontagh, metallur
gist at the Kortliport smelter, and a well
known authority on metallurgy.
The fact is that when the Klmore oil
process, of which so much has been
heard lately, was brought to Mr. Szon
tagh 's attention, it came in the guise of
an old friend in new clothing.
While a resident of Maker City, Ore.,
in 18811, Mr. Szontagh met Carrie J. Kv
erson, the patentee of a process of con
centration which she had evolved in her
assay office at Denver. Mr. Sxontagh
took a third interest in the rights for the
idea. Some sacks that were Impregnat
ed with grease, oil, pulverised ore and
other foreign bodies, such as are likely
to accumulate about sacks iiBed for ship
ping ore samples, were being washed.
After the washing oieration had been
concluded Miss Everson noticed that the
grease had come to the surface of the
water in the washtub and had carried
with it particles of metal. Being an ex
pert, assayor and chemist, she , perceived
something odd about the matter, und in
stituted a series of experiments, which
resulted in tho patenting of a system of
concentration utilizing oil to collect the
metal contents of the ores treated. Mr.
Szontagh endeavored to interest capital
in the process, but without success, and
he finally lost interest in the matter.
While connected with tho Kvcrxoii
process Mr. Szontagh made u scries of
more than 100 tests in his laboratory as
to the ellicacy of tliu proeefH, und the
results achieved lie describes, us remark
ably successful. In handling the ores of
tliu Kurka-Kxuelsior property, for in
stance, it was found that whereas the
recognized methods of water concentra
tion were unable to secure more 'than
thirty-live per cent to forty pur cent of
tliu values, tho oil proceps saved no lees
than ninety per cent. He found that
any tiality of oil or greai-u was useful in
the process, thus obviating the purchase
of high class oils. It was found iiNothut
an advantage was frequently had by tier
inltting a small Hrcentagu of the oil to
remain in the concentrated product, so
that if u slight roastinir was required
after concentration, tliu residue of oil
furnished the necessary fuel.
Why Go East
Over the sun-hurued t-ago brush and
alkali plains when you may just as well
take a delightful, cool and comfortablu
ride through the heart of the Rocky
mountains in view of the grandest scen
ery on the American continent? This
you can do by traveling on the Itio
Grande system, the far famed "Scenic
Line of the World," the only transconti
nental line passing through Salt take
City, Glen wood Springs, taadvllle, Col
orado Springs and Denver, en route to
eastern points. Three daily express
trains make close connections with all
trains east and west and afford a choice
of five distinct routes of travel. The
equipment of these trains is the best, in
cluding free reclining chair cars, stand
ard and tourist sleepon, a perfect dining
car service, and also ersonally conduct
ed excursion cars, each in charge of a
competent guide, whose business is to
look after the comfort of his guests. No
more pleasant and inexpensive means of
crossing the continent can be found than
is provided by these excursions. For
