The experiments thus far shown have been more succesfsul than those heretofore at tempted and there is some ground for the belief that a practical method will be found to refine nickel matte, apart from the process now employed by the largest concern of thi charac ter. The only available process now In nse is controlled by the International Nickel company, of New York and Canada, which holds all the patents for the appliances necessary. Experiments looking to the dis covery of a uew method have boen going ou for year, but. the unusual diilloultles encountered in the work, together with the cost of operations, such a plaut has thus far left the problem unsolved. All of the niokel roflning iu this couutry is now in the bauds of the International Nickel company. This organization is atllliated with the Canadian Copper copmuny, with miues at Copper Cliff nud Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. OUIciah of the international Niokel company wheu seen yesterday stated that tbey were as yet unfamil iar with the details of the new in veutiou. They bad beard that a Detroit Arm, which has teen carrying on the testB, claimed that a com mercial aud practical medium had at last been discovered outside of the pateuta controlled by their company to roflue the matte. They were not prepared to make any comments on the matter as the process whs still secret. Judging, however from the ditllculties which havo attended prior experiments, considerable hesitancy is displayed in accepting the results aunounced as conclusive. Thus far the nickel ore has been found associated with cobalt. The largest deposits uow being worked are in Canada, where both the niokel and cobalt are smelted ad the pro duot shipped to the United States to be refined. In the last volume of the Miheral Resources of this country issued by tho United States Geologi cal Survey, instances ot niokel and Cobalt iu the United States are given alio, Wash- nd on the states furusihed nut an iusiguiofiant a'luauut. The total production of this country for 190.1 was 114,200 uoimds, valued at 845,000. New York Commetcial. tlkhorn Ore Bins Full.
