The following, which is tnken from a pamphlet sunt out liy Mr. \V. Pellew Harvey, agent in British Columbia for the Cussel Ooltl Extracting Company, niny prove of interest, to thu general mining community, und inure especially to those who have lieen somewhat tartly in recognizing the fact that the possibility nf working some nf the large bodies of ore lo lie found in Ihis country (especially those of low grade) depends almost entirely on this oiode of treatment: MANIPULATION. The first thing lo be done when considering the iidvisablllty of using this process, is to have samples tested for their gold .anil silver t-iinteuls; the consumption of cyanide per ton; Ihe time taken to dissolve the contained precious metals; anil, if tlie consumption is over the average, viz, t from IS to 2.5 lbs. per ton of ore treated, the cause of this iibnoriiiiil waste. It may be from several causes, the principal of which is free acid. Having satisfied yourselves by preliminary experiment, and, if un excessive consumption, rectified it by adding an alkali, usually suda or lime, to neutralize the acid, we proceed us follows. (My remarks will necessarily he brief and non-technical, as I wish all to understand me.) TREATMENT OF BIO SAMPLE. The ore us received from the mine is crushed to puss a screen of from 20 to 30 mesh, this varies in accordance with the nature of the ore. From the crusher tlie pulp is introduced by any means most economical and best adapted to local circumstances into either round or square vats, capable of holding the tonnage required to be treated daily. Above these ore vats there are others containing a liquid composed of cyanide of potassium und water, and, if necessary, soda, made up to tho strength as previously found will be required; below these urn others, Vats No. 1 ure connected with No. 2 bv menns of rubber tubing and the solution is Introduced by menus of an aperaturu underneath them nnd so percolates through tlie muss in uu upward movement, This solution is allowed to stand on the ore u few hours; then, by means of a vacuum Biter, is drawn buck und through other tubes and finally emptied into vnts No. 8. This process is kept on for several hours antl eventually the solution now containing the gold and silver, which has been dissolved, is passed Into launders and slowly over zinc shavings, so arranged us to expose us much of its sot-face us possible. By this means tlie gold and silver is deposited as a black powder, whicli bangs loosely on the zinc and can lie shaken olf at will. Tlie solution, which is saved in other vats, is now freed from gold and silver, and can be used again by making it up to standard hy adding more cyanide of potassium, The gold and silver powder is washed, dried and run into bars iu the usual way. This process on ordinary ores takes from 24 to 48 hours, hut more usually the former. LOCAL COST OP TREATMENT AND RESULTS, I have treated a great uiany parcels uf most complex ore with wonderful results and will give an instance or two to confirm this. Recently a parcel of ore from the Stemwinder claim, Greenwood camp, Kettle liver, B. C„ was sent me for treatment. This contained aliout 0 per cent of copper, about. 30 per cent of sulphur, with zinc, silica and the usual "refractory combination." Such an ore could not be smelted for $15, to say ntithing of cost of transportation to the smelter uf another $15, and still more Impossible would it lie to amalgamate. Tlie ore assays 2 ozs. 13 dwls, 1 gr. per ton. This was under treatment. IS hours and cost per ton to treat $3. Tlie extraction was wonderful, viz.: 08.3 per cent, the tailings only containing 22 grains per ton, CARIBOO, From this camp several samples have been treated. The ore in reference contained IS per cent sulphur, as well as arsenic anil Iran, and this is the usual ore of thai district. The Ques* ni'lle Mining Co.'s ore assayed 2 oz. 17 <lwts. Ogrs,, at a cost of $1,60 por ton. I extracted over IK per cent of assay value. 1 have given these Instances and think they will undoubtedly prove thai the cyanide process Is equally us well adapted to Canadian ores as to those of other countries, EXAMPLE WHERE PROFIT CAN HE MADE. Suppose you have property containing an ore with much sulphurate, the average assay being $7 per ton. This you will admit is rather too low grade for successful treatment by the amalgamation process, as only about 70 per cent, if that, of tlie gold contained could be extracted at a cost of from $4 to $5 per ton for milling plus coat of mining and crushing and 30 per cent waste. Such an ore could he worked hy the cyanide process, as shown below I Mining ami crushing, say. 8 1 5IJ por ton Cyanide, used 2 His. " 80 " Incidental labor " 30 " Loss on extracting, supposing we extrnctlHJ per cent basing 100 , per cent us S7 por ton "II " Zinc shavings and running bars.. 1(1 " fiU " Tliis will leave n balance of $3.00 per ton. This same me, if concentrated 8 to 1, would yield a product which would be of still greater value if treated by this process, in proportion to that of amalgamation, us such concon. trates would increase tlie difficulty of handling by mercury on account, of the greater percentage of sulphur, and such metals aa coat the gold, which by the way have scarcely any effect If treated by the McArthiir-Forrest process. COST OF PLANT. A complete plant, exclusive of crushing machinery, capable of treating 25 tons a day would cost approximately $3000, and one man can handle it when the ore is once in the vats. This would include agitators, patent filters, zinc filtering launders, etc., cuuld be manufactured on the spot and so save transportation cost, which would amount to a considerable sum in outlying camps. PRACTICAL RESULTS, The experimental work which has been conducted liy the writer, has led to good practical results, negotiations are now in progress with several strong companies, who contemplate erecting cyanide works for the treatment of their product. Two of these are in the Okanagan country, with an aggregate capacity of 2500 tons per mouth. Two in Cariboo, for mines near Biirkerville, of a similar capacity. Oue on Victoria Island of 1500 tons per month, and one on the coast of 750 Ions per month. It is also probable that a large plant will bo erected at Barkerville, to be used as a custom plant, where ores can be sent for treatment. As wus found iu Africa, tbe cyanide process will be Ihe means of opening tlie mines of this country, and 1 feel confident in predicting that, within a year from this dnte, British Columbia will rank ns one of the leading gold producing centres of the world. I have, I think, touched on the leading points and hope they will ho of in. terest. If any further information is required, I shall be happy to send thu Cussel Gold Extracting Company's com> plate pamphlet, whicli goes into detail with facts and figures. Any samples sent will be reported on with pleasure mid negotiations for future liusiness heartily entered into. — m CORRESPONDENCE. To tho Editor of Tins Aiivanck : Sir—Referring to my hitter in your issue of Jiinury 17, and your comments upon it, 1 am not aware of any crooked work being done so fur as the blank vouchers are concerned, but what I should like to know is: was the paymaster instructed to take vouchers iu that form ? and if so, for what reason ? It appears to me to be a most unbusinesslike way of doing tilings, If those were his directions does it nol leave room for misgivings on the part of those employed and others. Personally, it does not concern me, as I never signed any such vouchers, but it is a matter that is lieing continually raked up, and I, with muny others, would like tu hear a satisfactory explanation, Yours truly, Juniuh .Iuniob. **•*♦-< This is what, tho Northwest Mining Review has to say about "silver senators ": The United States Senate will have several more silver men in il now t ban ever before. Senator Washburn of Minnesota has lieen succeeded by Hon. K null' Nelson, who is an out and outsilvei man, while Senator Wash*. burn ivns not. Montana has elected two senators, bul h silver men; last year tlmt state had only one senator. Wyoming has (ducted a silver man lo fill the vacancy caused a year ago when liuii state failed in elect a senator. Utah will )hj represented in tbe next, congress by a silver roan. Washington is pledged to the silver cause and any man elected to the United States senate from this state will be a free silver advocate. With tlie above fuels before us there will lie ill least the following gain of silver men in the United States Senate, provided tlio newly elected senators take their seals immediately) Minnesota, loss of nun goldilf and gi.in of ono silverite, gain 2; Molilalia elected two, gain 1; Wyoming, gain 1; Washington, gain 1; total gain, 5, It Is almost certain that there will ho other gains so Unit there Is sure to lie no financial legislation without it is favorable to silver, THE ADVANCE. pn'AitTsNimiiif 1'upljshed weekly 1'1101'ltlETOIls. nt Midway, B. c.

Tlie trouble between Mexico and Guiitaiualii grows more serious day by day, and it seems that hardly any recourse is left but foe the former country 'o declare war. How alarmingly serious affairs have grown niny be inferred from tlie fact that three other of the Central American states—Nicill': iigliu, Salvador, and Costa Rica have formed a confederation witli Guatemala against Mexico. Should, therefore, no understanding be arrived at and that quickly, for the adjustment of the dispute between the two countries, very soon the world will witness a (lotto and bloody struggle between thusu stales, Botli sides are massing troops und great preparations nre lieing made for war. ► t 4-. -— THE FATE OF WBI-HAMVEl.

The samples of Fairview water sent by tbe Government to Ottawa to he finalized, were pronounced to be exceptionally good. Six samples in all were sent.

It is understood that Mr. Mclntyre, who paid this district a visit lately in company with Mr. Suydam. hue suffered the loss of a brother in the awful calamity in Butte, Montana, Colonel Thompson arrived on Friday's stage from Spokane. This gentleman is operating in the interests of eastern capitalists and is quite a welcome visitor among the boys. Developments to follow, Several sample sacks of ore were sent out this week to Penticton for shipment to Vancouver to be treated by the cyanide process, The miners are indebted to Mr, S, Martin for free freight to Penticton on these samples. The second of the series of bimonthly dunces was held in Palmer- etnn's hall tin Saturday night last. Quite a large number of ladies and gentlemen graced the occasion by their presence, and all seemed thoroughly to enjoy and appreciate the opportunity offered to indulge in the fascinating pastime, Tlie last day of Messrs, McAuley and Grant's lease of the Victoria hotel, Vernon, was celebrated iu grand style by a dance in that well known hostelry, whicli was very largely attended. The lease of the Victoria has been transferred to Messrs. W. Murphy and . Quin Faulkner. . . The assny obtained by the cyanide process on ore fnnn Ihe Steinivinder, Greenwood camp, gave in gold $51.(10 per ton. When it is known that the ore was taken from one of tlie large ledges (30 feet wide) that abound in tlie Greenwood camp, the satisfactory result of this assay will be apparent. Foolscap and legal cup paper is in great demand in Midway and Boundary Fulls at present, The fact that this commodity is in request, is rather signiliciint and means business. "The mills of the Cods grind slowly, but the rate at which tlie crusher will grind the ores in this vicinity in the neur future, none dure prophesy. We are-in receipt of Information from the secretary of the Montreal Exposition Co, to the effect that ft Provincial Exhibition will lie held (n Montreal from tbe 12th to the 21st of September, and would suggest that the opportunity should not be lost sight of to make adispluy jn that city, of the ores of the Boundary creek and other camps. Workmen will be set to work next week to lengthen the steamer Fairview twenty feet, iind to add two feet to the diameter of her wheel. Another effort will then lie made liy her owners to successfully navigate the Okanagan river between Penticton and Dog lake, whether the Dominion Government will give an appropriation to clean out the river or nut. Mr. Luc Girouard, the Okanagan old timer, whose deatli was so universally regretted liy everyone who knew him, may well be said to have lived like a ('hrisl inn and tn have lieen buried like fi Siivasli. Religious bigotry appear to have found its way Into the Province which always boasted that it wus freer from narrow minded intolerance than nny other in thu Dominion. ' Dr. Jakes is at present at tending a patient on the reserve who, about a ■ |i month ago, having a difference wil.il an Indian, luui occasion to make use of bis bleeps, One of tlie patient's hands coming into contact with the Indian's teeth, received a cut, and the result was lilood poisoning, and so serious is the rase, owing to the patient's own negligence, that it is feared it wiil be necessary to remove one or more fingers, if not the whole hand. Mr. Thomet has resumed operations on the Elkhorn claim, near the mouth of Prior creek. It is his intention to tunnel on the ledge, which tunnel, bv being run about 200 feet, will prove the vein to a depth of about 120 feet, after which it is quite likely a chambef will be blown out in the end of the tunnel so as to give room for a hoist, for the purpose of sinking u sl|iift. This claim carries a vein of very fine ore, rich in silver and gold, and is expected under the work of development tn turn out a very valuable proper! y. Two new arrivals, in the persons of Mi's. Kerr and Mrs, Oawelinan, came in on last week's stage from Penticton. These ladies are the parents of Mr. and Mrs. Kerr of Boundary creek, with whom they are staying fnr the present. Mr. Spraggett of Grand Prairie was a visitor in town on Friday last. In conversation lie intimated a growing desire among the residents of (ii'iuul Prairie for the formation of tlie valley into a district municipality. Whatever might lie their lot under local self government, it cnuld not be much worse tnan at present, for except at stated intervals of four years they were apparently so fur distant from llie sent of government that they were virtually forgotten.

An informal meeting of those interested in the renovation of the bridge (which was partly destroyed by floods lust spring) over Kettle river at McLaren's, was held in Spi'iiggett's hall on Wednesday the 27th lilt, Since the partial destruction of the bridge the settlers have rested on the conviction that the Government would come to their assistance and repair the damages done by flood to this much needed, structure, and by communication from the outside it was understood that an appropriation Iind been made by tlielegislaturefor tliiitpnrpose. It wns, therefore, rather a surprise to many to learn that Roud Foreman Mclnnes had received instructions to build the bridge nt Ingram's and allow the une at McLaren's to go by default. This did not meet the views of the settlers here, and so, after some discussion, and with feelings of soreness at the treatment received, they decided to once again take matters into their own hands, and to push tlie work with vigor, as it was feared that by delay the chances of making use of the ice in the river would be lost. Some fifteen men with teams will therefore be upon the Scene of operations on Monday the 4th to build a monument to the energy of the Prairie settlers and the disgrace of tlie Government Is there any law which provides for the quarantine of beef cattle imported into the Dominion, and if so why is it not carried out in B. C. In the light of recent events would it not be well for the local constables to be on the alert to see that the Provincial Act for the slaughtering of cattle is lieing observed in the different parts of the district. The mildness of the winter lias been conducive to a large amount of work beingdone in the niattei of getting out rails and other material for ranch improvements to be executed the coming summer, and all seem confident of a better season than the last, Nero, —i—►•-.

(From our own eoi'rosponilent.1 Colonel Thompson is here doing business among thu boys, some of whom have not worn such expansive smiles upon their countenances for some time past. This augurs well for the country. Tlie impromptu dance gotten up by one residents and held in Hardy's hall last Wednesday night passed oil with great eclat. Visitors were in attendance from Midway and also from Grand Prairie. Everyone expressed themselves as having had a very good time. So far have the "advanced" pupils advanced under the instructions given by our local dancing master (who, by the way, has been' accustomed to taking useful articles In trade for services rendered) that the fantastic steps executed by some of our prominent citizens, provides on occasion amusement to those who witness tlie same. One gentleman more enthusiastic than the rest was heard to declare he would master-that "Royl lef"('Roy|,|ef" wultss step, of £acre, he would trade the only animal left on the ranch, N.B.—The only animal left on tlie premises is a q'wilful porcupine, which the dancing master declines.

To do this required both grit and money, A Connecticut Yankee hud both, and tlie dny is not far distant when British Ciiliiinbia will have a smeller in iictunl operation, The concentrator wus first stinted up about two weeks ago, and willi few alterationschas worked smoothly and satisfactorily. I thus u nominal capacity of lull tons in 'it hours, but Ml tuns can readily lie run through in that time. Last Monday night 110 tons were run through in 12 hours. The roasters have a capacity of 10 tons each in 21 hours. The stank, which is nearly completed, will have a capacity of 80 tons daily. Ore and fluxes and fuel aro already accumulating iu the bins, und by the time the smelter is ready there will lie ore enough on hand and in sight to keep it running, not for a day or two, but for months. The "wet" ore and fluxes come from tlie Blue Bell mine; the Number One mine at Aitis- worth will furnish the bulk of the "dry "ore; the coke comes from Wilkinson, Washington, -ind the charcoal is made on the ground. The concentrator lias a rock breaker, three sets of rollers, twelve jigs, two double-deck slime tables and two van- ners. The ore and concentrates are handled automatically from the time the ore leaves the barge until the concentrates are shoveled into the roaster. The roasters are of the ordinary kind, in which the charges lire moved by hand. The smelting furnace is ii water Jacket. The water needed is pumped from the lake with a pump having a nominal capacity uf 800 gallons per minute. Power is furnished by three engines, tlie largest of which is 110 horse-power. All the buildings of the company are lighted by electricity. The machinery is the best that is made, and the appliances appear to be for work nod wear, not for show. Ore is 'transported from the Blue Bell mine to Pilot Bay on barges, but at present the barge capacity is hardly equal to the capacity of tlie concentrator. The tug Kuslo bus been chartered for towjng, About ISO men altogether are employed at Pilot Bay and at the Blue Bell mine.—Tribune. ■ 4.-4 —- THE ANACONDA JUNES. The largest copper smelting property in the world is at Anaconda, Montana, During the pust eleven years the magnitude of the plant and its results have been steadily Increasing, till now the employees aie numbered by the thousand, and the liusiness aggregates over u million dollars a month. About 4.- 000 tons of ore, the Scientific American states, are daily treated at the smelters, wlii-ih are in continuous operation. The works constitute a little town In themselves, comprising a large number of different divisions, each subdivided into details corresponding with tlie requirements of the. process nf taking the nre from the car and turning it out merchantable copper. The concentrator alone is of vast proportions; the smelter and furnaces cover acres of ground; the eighty tank houses, store" rooms, offices, etc., occupy a largo area, and, in connection with this, is the proposed greater converting plant, to cost over a million dollars, and intended tn lie the largest and most complete institution in the country. The company's thousands of men are also employed in the Anaconda mine, near Butte, and adjacent mines, iu their coal mines, fire brick, coke, etc., tbe pity-roll exceeding tlmt of any other mine in the United States. ' From 1885 to 18P4 inclusive tlie Anaconda Mining Company has extracted 460,000,000 pounds of copper. Every. thing is on a gigantic scale and constitutes an important factor iu tlie great industrial Interests of the slate. An agreement is reported coiicludud between the Anaconda' and Calumet and Hecla Companies, under the terms of which the former company undertakes to reduce their production to the level of the latter company—say to about .5,500,1X10 pounds per month. As in the month of October the Anaconda Company produced II.HOO.OOO pounds, this reduction represents about 1,500 tons per month, The production of ilie other three leading Montana companies in October was (1,100,11)0 pounds, und that tu" the other leading Lake Superior cninpiiny—the Tamarack—WO,- IKK) pounds, these figures about representing the extent of their presenl capacity. It, is believed that the Rio Tinto Company have agreed not to In. crease their production. Copper shipments to Europe continue on a reduced scale, being- about 4,000 tons for November, milking tin; total for eleven months of thu year alniut (19,552 tons, ngainst 70.003 tons in tbe same period last year. As 22,000 tuns less have been shipped in the five months from July tti November this your than last, it is evident that the private stocks of American copper held on the continent must now be less than at this date In 1811.1, the public stocks iu England and France showing an increase of 0,008 Ions. Consumption both in this country and in Europe must have been much larger this year than last, and seems likely lo improve, 4 . 4 THE CYANIDE CONTEST, The Mei-eiir Mining Company was served lute on Saturday night with the papers in tlie cyanide infringement suit. Through .their regular attorney, Mr. Frank Pierce, and through other able co-operative counsel to lie hereafter employed, (hey intend to miiiie a very st rung and vigorous defense, the result, of the English suits encouraging them to the belief that the contentions of lbe cyanide people cannot hold against thein. Without giving away the ground of defense entirely, Mr, Pierce said yesterday that hut two iiiuiii points would be raised and held at issue. They are the two points involved in what is known ns the cyanide process, The Mert-iu- Company will hold them to be Incapable of patent,, und as having been in use many years. Briefly stilted, they are: first, the separation of the gold from the base metal by the use of cyanide of ptiias* sitim; secondly, the precipitation, when in solution, by the use of zinc shavings, The lirst use of this process, it Is,generally known, failed to operate upon the Merciir ores, and extensive and radical changes have since been inntle by the Merciir Company, Foolishly enough, as they themselves say, the Merciir Company did for a brief time pay a royalty to the owners of the cyanide patent, but no contract was er made binding them to a continuance of it.—Salt Lake Tribune. ► e *t ■ In a careful review of the business prospects of the new year the London "Statist" says; "The depressing influence exercised by the United Stutes is accentuated by the banking cricis in Australasia, by the currency experiment in India, by tlie war between China and Japan, and by the fears of a crash in Italy and Spain. The revival in liusiness will continue, because credit is improving, not only here at home, but upon the Continent, and because the augmented production of gold is attracting capital from Europe, und is preparing for a very considerable development in South Africa. But Whether the revival be quick or slow in tbe present year will depend largely upon the policy pursued In the United States.. If the gold wilhilrnwls Continue; if there nre large shipments and large boards, if cred(t continues paralized, and if, in consequence, the fear grows that there will lie another currency crisis, then it is hardly possible that there'can be much Improvement in foreign trade. The United States is so great a factor in the international business of the world thai while it continues as at present anxiety and uncertainty will remain. On ibe other hand, If Congress wisely sels about a proper currency reform, confidence will revive, there'will he an advance III the prices of commodities, nud the trade revival will he satisfactorily rapid."
