New Treatment for Dry Ore. A press diHpatch from Nelson, British Columbia, nays that J.

Ah an example of the saving, the present cost of hauling ore by wagon from the Arl ington to the shipping iolnt is three dollars per ton, and at other mines even higher, without mentioning freight and smelter charge. The new process would all be done at the mine and the result shipped an base bullion to the refinery. The Arlington is shipping a carload of j SECRETARY Sumpter, Oregon ore to I'rescott for treatment, and if suc cessful will install an exeriinental plant at the mine. Even an Old Timer b Surprised.
