ASHLAND SECURES
A $25,000 BEQUEST
FROM ROOT WILL
ASIILAN'D. Aim. 22. The recent j
.t-.ii.i . iihioi.i m. aum, wmuw "1
f'hnrlfH V. Root, releases nn npproxi-
mate I,...,iicki of sr,. lo Ihe city of
Ashlan.l. left un.l..r the will of Mr.
Itoct lo I ho city lo lo use1 for tho
l.ondfil ii ml hcnullflcntlon of the ciiy,
as a! memorial to hln wife. The form
this shall t.ike had been left entirely
to tho judgment of the trustees,
Messrs. R. V. Carter, J. 1. Dodge and
W. J. Moore.
V Mr. and Mrs. Root made their home
Ashland for ninny years, and wore
active In every movement for tho bet
terment of Ashland. They came to
the valley forty yearn uro, with the
entrance of ilie railroad. Mr. Hoot, a
civil engineer, working with the en
gineering crews, locating tho present
Southern Pacific route from the north,
later engaged on the Northern Paci
fic, and with the Hammond Interests
on the Astoria road. stil later mana
ger for them on 'tho railroad from
Kureka to San Francisco. Vncntlons
were always spent in Ashland and
their later years, up until Mr. Root's
death In 1!21,
Many suggest ions are coming in to
the trustees, one of thorn is that the
; bequest be used for the mode) train
ing cottage In connection with the
Southern Oregon Normal school; an
other is that an orphans' home, pri
marily for tho orphans of Jackson
county, lie constructed a a memorial.
; Tho decision rests wjih tho directors,
however, and without doubt it will be
a wise and Just one, and in accord
with the wishes of the donors of the

Thlw artit'le Ih written for the Kimiil
operator who has it Htanii mill and
who platen uml roru'enirutos his ore.
It U our purport to point out how
cheaply a Kiuall cyanide plant can ho
erected ns an adjunct to an existing
xmall niill and how easily and cheaply
it can he operated without much
technical knowledge.
1 If you have free milling ore and
'... i,. Illn.- wm.1,1 nvAr.. n:i l..w iik
f l.Mi per ton, you ran make an addi-
. prnfu hy .,,,.. ,f ,h0 ,.

tloes lo trout 1 . n 0 tnilliiKH.
- Tho method we recommend l the
time honored. nocalled "PercolntlnK
Process." that has been in use for
more than thirty years. In cases
out of 100 the battery tailings are
quite fine enough for cynniding. so
don't think that you have lo put In
expensive machinery for regrinding.
All you need are leaching tanks, plac.
ed below the mill, precipitation boxes
and one solution lank. Most text
books will tell you that you need
separa t e su m p ta n ks n nd storage
tanks for weak and strong solution
and that the ore has to be treated first
with weak solution and then with
strong solution and then again with
weak solution. But nil these are un
necessary complications which the
small operator does not need.' All he
needs Is one sump tank placed below
the precipitation boxes in which tho
cyanide solution, coming from these
boxes, is collected and from which it
is pumped back to the leaching tanks.
If you operate, for instance, a five
stamp mill. nnd crush 20 tons of ore in
24 hours, about one-half of your rock
will be sand of different degrees of
fineness and one-half will be slimes.
By the percolating process you can
treat nil of our sand and about one
half of the slamcs you make in the
battery. The other half of the slimes
or approximately 25 per cent of the
total rock you crush, will .consist of
extremely fine slimes which will have
to bo treated by another method
which wo will dcsarlhe in another ar
ticle. Tho teaching tanks nre equipped
with a filtering medium In the bottom
and the tailings run by gravity from
the battery into these tanks. In or
der to spread them out evenly over
the whole surface of the tank a so
called distributor is used. When the
tank is full you pump cyanide solu
lution from your sump tank direct
onto these tailings. This cyanide so
lution percolates through the tailings,
filters through the filter cloth, then
passes through the precipitation boxes
and into the sump tank again. During
the process the cyanide solution be
comes weaker and the easiest way to
bring It up to the proper strength
again is to throw solid syanido on top
of the tailings and let the syanide so
lution dissolve it.
'Coming hack to the smalt operator
who crushes 20 tons per day, he would
aieed three lejiching tanks 18 feet in
diameter nnd about 6 feet high. Lach
of these tnnks will hold about 60 tons
of tailings, so that it would take nbout
three days to fill a tank, Allowing for
15 tons of slimes to be Impounded for
future trentment. It will take six days
to fill the other two tanks. It will,
therefore he six days before you need
the first tank again, which will give
you sufficient time to get good ex
traction. These lonching tanks cost
about $260 complete in San Francisco,
at the present time, or a total of $780.
A precipitation box of ample capac
ity will cost about $135 and a dis
tributor costs nbout ftifi. The sump
tnnk will come about $120. In ad
dition you need a small centrifugal
pump, a one Inch pump is sufficient.
driven by a three horse power motor
or gasoline engine. The total cost of
tanks and machinery for such a plant
would be about $1200. To convey the
solution from leaching tanks to zinc
boxes, from the zinc boxes to sump
tnnk, nnd sumpj tank through the
pump and to the leaching tanks will
rehuire pipe nnd fittings. One inch
pipe is quite big enough for this pur
pose. To start operating you need nbout
150 pounds of zinc shavings, the pres
ent price of which Is nbout 16 cents
per pound. Also about 200 pounds of
eynnido which will cost nbout 26 cents
per pound.
The clenn up is a, very simple mat
ter. It requires no machinery of any
kind. All thnt is needed are a couple
of galvanized tubs, a whisk broom and
a scoop. A melting furnace can be
made on the ground out of an oil oil
drum and nil you need to buy for it
is a gasoline burner nnd a pressure
lank. This will cost npproximately
$25.
As far ns operation Is concerned,
nil you need to know Is now to test
the strength of your solution. This
is done by a simple chemical pro
cess which any competent nssayer
can teach you in a few minutes. The
whole equipment required for this
purpose should not cost more than
$5.00.
It does not require high priced
carpenters to put up these tanks.
Any handy man can do it himself,
by following the instructions the tank
companies will furnish you.
The simplest way in which to dis
charge these tanks is to sluice them
out after trentment. This, of course,
requires a good den I of water. If
you do not have enough water, the
tnnks have to he mucked out Into
cars and the tailings put over the
dump. Mining Topics.
