THE CYANIDE! PROCESS
Ah Applied (o Ores from Different Sections of 11. C.
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

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.

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.

COLVILLE   INDIAN   HSKRVA'I'ION,
The throwing open of Ihe Colville
Reservation to settierqpnt, is a matter
that has engaged tho attention of a
large number, of people tin- a long time
past. It will, therefore, perhaps prove
of interest to iniinv to know that at
least uiui step more in this direction is
being taken, when il is slated Unit the
Surveyor General hu- issued notices for
bids for the survey til tbe same, whicli
comprises 500.10) acres of mineral, agricultural, timber aud other land. The
tenders for the survey will he opened
on Feb. 15, and it will be required that
the different surveys shall bo completed
and the returns forwarded to lbe department before Ibe lirst of Jan. 1811(1.
It will, therefore, be seen that tbe settlers, prospectors and others who have
for years past entertained covetous
feelings toward this territory will be
obliged to hold the same in check for
another year or so, during which time
the notions entertained by many of ils

Tlie trouble between Mexico and

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,

Several sample sacks of ore were sent

Mr. Luc Girouard, the Okanagan old

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

Mr. Spraggett of Grand Prairie was
a visitor in town on Friday last. In

GRAND PRAIRIK.
(From our own correspondent.)
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

Tlie impromptu dance gotten up by

Prairie. Everyone expressed themselves as having had a very good time.
So far have the "advanced" pupils

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

QiOJ'OO*. jtb Januar), 1895, *td. THE  PILOT  HAY  SMELTEB,
The Concentrator uml Boasters Ii, Operation, and the Smelter Soon Will He.
Although six months have scarcely
elapsed since the partially completed
smelter buildings nt i'il"t Bay were
surrounded by the wreckage uf the
high water of las';. June, a 200-ttin concentrator is is in operation, four roast-
era have lieen built and two of thein
put in use, an 80-ton slack Is almost
ready to lie blown in, machinery is he-
ing placed in position for sampling
works, und every barge on Kootenay
lake is being used to transport either
ore or fuel. 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,

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."
