In the process of extraction of gold from its on-H by potassium cyanide, the gold is usually precipitated by means of xiuc, but it sometimes occurs when xiuc. is used that the solution Ih Iihi nlkaliun or too acid, resulting in thu formation of Aim- salts. The advant ages of electrical precipitation are that the preparation is as good in weak solu tion as in strong ones and however acid tho solution may 1st the gold precipi tates. The advantage of being able to use very weak solutions is great, as not only is then- a less consumption of cyan ide but a week solution, say live parts in 10,000, can be used for treating euprif emus ores which would destroy stronger solutions, iiic alone will not always precipitate gold from a very weak so lution, and the advantage of electrical piivipitatiou in some cases is manifest. The cathode upon which the gold do (Hisits itself is made of lead sheets fast ened in light Moisten frames ami con nected with the negative sie of a dyna mo. Tho anodes are made of iron. The current required is about .(hi ampere per square loot With cathodes I 'j feet apirt a force ol seven rolls is sullicieut. Mining and Scientific I'ress. . About the Kauiuui E. and E.

It is due to his hard work and ceaseless labor that many of the greatest tinancial successes have la-en due. It is to the plodding, hard work ing promoter that many millionaires of today, who invested in such enterprises as the telephone and telegraph at their development H-riod, owe their wealth. All the rich mining propositions of to day were brought to the attention of tho Investigating public by promoters. An honest promoter is a positive bouetit to tho community.
