Much is expected of it, and though at the present time there is only one_r_ine,the Mother Lode, that, can be classed in the permanent shipping list it will not be many months' before others will have reached that desirable stage of development. This-is more particularly true_ of the Morrison; the Crown Silver and Sunset mines, owned by the Montreal and Boston Copper company; and the Marguerite, the property of the Quebec Copper company, limited. To this list the Greyhound, Great Hopes, arid' Buckhorn will eventually be added. The most important announcement to be made regarding this camp is the early resumption of development on' the Ah There, the property of a local company. This means, now that work is in progress on the Bntte- fraction, adjoining the Greyhound to the north, that five contiguous claims will be undergoing development simultaneously, on, what is generally conceded to.be one continuous ore belt. Another good item of news was the bonding last week by Harry Shallenberger of the Alameda. - The claim is owned by Louis Bosshart, and' is believed to be a. valuable piece of ground on account of-its joining to^the" south, the Mother Lode group. Little development has been done but if Mr. Shallen. berger is successful in lifting the bond he expects to have a considerable force at work exploiting the claim. Outside 'parties' have of recent date been paying, particnlar attention to Deadwood and as there are yet quite a number of good "claims lying idle, it offers exceptional advantages for the employment of capital- willing to take the risks- of developing " piospects. In years to come, providing the sanguine expectations of owners of properties in this camp are realized, it promises to become a second Butte in its production of copper-gold ores. Then like that famous camp every fraction and idle piece of ground will be wanted and the speculator of'today will reap handsomely on his investment," especially will this be so of claims adjacent- and -surrounding-the- Mother TOO BUS TO WRITE ADS.

It is natural to suppose that from now on deals will be more frequent. The Ah There claim" belongs to the McRae Copper Mines, limited. . About a year ago this company was brought out; the claim-purchased and development started. After some- surface exploration, tracing ,the ore body of the Greyhound onto this claim, a shaft was started, a hoisting plant purchased and then came the unavoidable discontinuance for-lack of funds. Since last spring no further work was possible until.now when the directors of. the MicRae Copper company and the gentlemen at the head of the Western Copper company, owning the Greyhound, got together and made an agreement whereby the last company undertakes to run a drift from, the 100-foot level of the Ah There shaft to connect with the Greyhound shaft. On the Greyhound the shaft is down 130 feet, with a level penetrating the ore body for 25 feet at a. depth of SS feet, iu the shaft arid a second level opened up at a depth of 100 feet. In this last level the crosscut east was run 40 feet and had just encountered the ore body.on'.its dip,.when work was withdrawn from that point and concentrated in obtaining further depth in the shaft. Just now now the shaft is being -lined and the station at the 100-foot enlarged. This completed the shaft will be continued on down to the 300-foot level. It will be remembered that in November a deal was consum- ated -whereby William Price, of^Que- bec, who is at the head of the Standard Copper- company, secured control of the shares of this company. The company is capitalized in the sum of $1,- 500,000. The present board "of directors, elected immediately after the sale are:. President, Andrf-w Laidlaw; vice- president, F. Oliver; secretary, E. F. Massamfand-WilHam and H. E. Price directors. The concern is in a splendid financial condition and much is ex- oected from the Greyhound. -The claim has one of the large surface ore showings of Deadwood camp, being 400 feet in width, and opened up for a distance of 1,300 feet in length by surface cuts. . * Adjoining the Greyhound to the north is the Butte fraction owned by a syndicate - of Greenwood __ operators. There.has been some surface wofk~performed sufficient 'at least to demonstrate the continuity of the Greyhound ledge, if it may be so called. "Work was started on this claim last week. -The next claim north is the Great Hopes. The development is in charge of Fred Oliver. A force of men have been running a crosscut 'tunnel for some time which has penetrated the hill 541 feet. From time to time stringers of orejiave been cut through but its objective, thebig. showing disclosed on the surface and partially developed by shaft, has not been reached. -The last claim on this belt under development is the Marguerite, which, with a fraction, belongs to the Quebec Copper company, -limited, with registered office in this city. The head office of the company, is in Quebec, the board of directors being composed of wealthy manufacturers' and bank directors .of that city.. Andrew Laid.- law is the resident managing director and John Massam, superintendent. The Marguerite is credited with having some of the richest ore in the camp. As an indication of how the ore runs the following figures will prove interesting. In copper -the average of 20 assays gave 3*81 per cent, giving a value, figuring copper at 16 cents per pound, of $12.28. An average of 21 assays for silver gave 3 1-5 ounces, valued at $2.04, and the gold contents of 23 samples averaged 2.88, or $5.75. The total average gave 520.07 per ton in all values. The present company started active operations last June, in thorough prospecting the property and in the sinking of a new permanent working shaft. This shaft, a double conipartment, is located midway between the Nos. 1 and 2 veins, on the east side of the claim. It is down 100 feet. At this depth a level was opened up and a crosscut run east, to a rich ore body containing chalcopyrite in a a.heavy magnetic iron gangue,.a distance of 90 feet. From this ore some extremely high values have been obtained. The west crosscut is in 65 feet mostly iron sulphide of a low grade. On the third vein on the extreme west side of the claim, a crosscut tunnel has been started to tap the ledge at depth. Recently an order was placed with the local branch of the Jenckes Machine company for a 25-horse power hoist and engine, a No. 5 Cameron pum, hose, wire rope, cars, bucket and the. necessary complement of tools. After the installation of this plant development will be more rapid than heretofore,-arid-it is the expectation of the management to be in a position to shortly place the mine on a shipping basis. In- previous articles the Times has notedat length the.development of the Mother Lode���the banner mine of the camp. For four years it has been undergoing a systematic and continuous era of development and today has i eached the stage where big stopes are being opened up and it is nearly in a position to turn out 600 tons and more each 24 hours, as will be needed when the.smelter is blown in. The mine is developed by a main working shaft now down 325 feet, with levels at the 200 and 300 respectively. On the 200- foot level a big orcchute has been opened up for. a distance of 400 feet in length and proved by crosscuts to be from 80 to 100 feet in width. On the 300-foot level considerable development has been done and a fine ore chute, if anything richer than that found in the No. 1 level, exploited. At the present time considerable -additional machinery, which, when finally in working order, will give the mine the distinction of : having the . largest and most up-to-date plant in the district, is bejng installed. Included in this new plant is a cross-compound condensing Corless-valve Ingersoll-Sergeant air compressor, with a capacity from 35 to 40 drills; four large boilers, a hoist and a complete outfit of minor appliances necessary for working the mine on a most economical and profitable scale. When this" is jdone the shaft will be cartied on down to the 500-foot level. To date the mine has sent*down to the Greenwood smelter something over 4,435, tons of ore. Other properties in Deadwood camp under development are the Morrison in the "extreme north end, and the Buckhorn in the' extreme south. The superintendent of the former mine, Fred Oliver, is at present in Spokane, but has announced that by the end of the year** a complete report of development will be given out to the shareholders, as by then he hopes that the Morrison will have been added to the shipping list. _. A. E. Bielenberg has a force on the Buckhorn. Work has for some time been prosecuted in the 100-foot level, where a crosscut south is being driven to encounter an ore body, some 160 feet of .work having been- done in this direction.* No work is, bei ng attempted at the 200-foot level for the present. MINING NOTES. A. E. 'Bielenberg"has bonded the Durango claim in Deadwood camp. At a meeting of the directors of the Winnipeg Mines, Limited, held at the office of the-company,'at the mine, Wellington camp, Friday evening, it was decided to notify the shareholders of the levy of the first assessment of one cent per share. The Ingersoll - Sergeant company have -sold to Mr. Keffer, a three-drill Ingersoll-Sergeant compressor foi use on the'No. 7 property in Central camp. The shipment was made from Rossland stock and has already been delivered at Greenwood. W. J. ''Porter, one of the heaviest shareholders iri the Brandon and Golden Crown Mining company,limited is at present in Brandon, Manitoba, where he went at the request of some of the directors to lay before the resident stockholders of that city a plan for securing additional capital to continue the development of the property, which has been closed down for some weeks. L. M. Rice, well known in this city in connection with the construction of the Columbia & Western railway, has issued from his Seattle office a map of thc camps of the Boundary Creek district. ..The map is a large one, and from the author's exceptional opportunities in surveying thc country, is a sufficient guarantee of its accuracy. The surveyed claims arc given as also the general topography of the distr ict. H. A. King &.Co., are the distributing agents for Greenwood. The past week a far livelier interest has been manifested in shares of local companies than for some considerable time past. Sales of Morrison at 2_4 to 3 cents were numerous. Winnipeg was in demand both by local buyers and in the east. The "straightforward manner in which the directors are going about to place the mine on a substantial -footing is evidentally meeting with the approval of many who have faith in ultimate outcome of the property under good management. The consequence is that the market has felt a buoyoncy in^the demand, for these shares, prices ranging ' from 4 to 4%. cents. Waterloo is the only Camp McKinney stock traded in, at a price around 2% cents. There is a generally credited report that the winze being sunk from the 65-foot level is in a good body of quartz. However there seems to be an evident intention by the parties "in. the know" not to take the general public into their confidence, with the off chance perhaps that holders will loosen up and that they may be able to "reap a good harvest when the-.���'bulls", at the Spokane end feel like pulling the wires for a general boom. The splendid showing being made in thc Review mine,in the Myers creek -camp, has justified interest in this -property and some trading has been done at 5)4 cents. From all indications there should be a demand in the near future for shares in several companies operating in Deadwood camp.such as the McRae Copper Mines, owning the Ah There, the Deadwood Copper, company, owning the St. Lawrence and others, when work shall again be started on these claims. SUMMIT HOTEL BURNED Loss Over $12,000 with Insurance of , $7,500. Summit City suffered by a disastrous fire last Thursday evening in the destruction of the Summit hotel, owned by James McNeil. The building was a substantial two-story frame, plastered throughout and with its furnishings and stock of liquors was valued; at. over $12,000. With the exception of a few household effects everything was burned. The fire is believed to have originated in the hood over the kitchen . range,, but this is not certain, as when it was fire noticed by some of the guests, at 8.30 p. m��� the kitchen was all in a blaze. There being no fire fighting apparatus of any description at hand the few occupants of the hotel- and nearby neighbors devoted all their energies to saving what was possible. At the time of the fire Mr. McNeil was visiting at Eholt and was** appraised of -. the fact by his attention being called to the appearance of a big conflagration in the direction of Summit City. On his arrival the bulding was burnt "-" to the ground. Fortunately Mr. Mc- , ** Neil carried considerably insurance amounting to $7,500, divided among the following companies, the Imperial, Lancashire, Cauadian and , American. R. S. Day, manager in the province for _ the Imperial, was ' up at Summit this week investigating the fire ��.nd adjusting the loss. J. R. Portet, insurance agent of this city, was among the'guests, he having < gone to see Mr. McNeil with a view to j obtaining a renewal of one of the policies which only had a few more days to run before its expiration. Instead of getting a renewal premium his company will be forced to pay out a considerable sum as its proportion..of _"���-.. ~ the loss. II I- 'i> I I THE CITY COUNCIL. Mayor Hardy presided at the council meeting Monday night and 'Aid. Ban- nerman, Sutherland, Galloway, Crop- ley and Sullivan were present. W. E. Hodges was appointed auditor for the eity. Leamy & Gray were paid $250 without prejudice as to their account against the city. A by-law reducing hotel licenses to S300 a year was read a first and second time. Mr. Winnett's oharga against M. Eildermann, city . driver, was further considered by council but no definite action was taken. A by-law was introduced to increase the fee for peddlers and transient traders up to the limit, viz., $500 per annum. The by-law in reference to laundries will be amended ro as to name a section where laundries will be allowed. P0UL1MER-NELS0N i i I Yesterday evening, in the parlor of the Hotel Windsor, H. E. Poulinier was united in marriage to Miss Emma Nelson, of Ephraim, Utah. Rev. H. B. Balderson, pastor of the Methodist church, officiated afthe ceremony. The bride arrived on yesterday afternoon's train from Ephraim, Utah. Harry is a well known pros - ��� pector and miner, and his wedding came as a mild surprise to even his most intimate associates. The young couple will reside in one of the cottages at the Mother Lode mine where the groom is an employee. A DENIAL. In a letter just received from Mr. W. E. Hodges, of Greenwood, that gentleman sends nie a clipping from the "Vancouuer News-Advertiser,which I enclose. I absolutely deny having made the statements Sir.

Duncan Ross Editor, <UNION^ft*ClLABEL> THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1900. WHERE THE MAJORITY IS. Nothing will help to allay the senseless race cry quicker, or at any rate, nothing^will destroy its effect so soon, as an understanding of the fact���and it is a fact���that the government's majority is not dependent on Quebec. Even were it so Quebec, has as much right to make her voice heard and her influence felt as any other province, but if Quebec were left out of the cal- ���culation altogether, there would still be a Liberal majority. But it must never be forgotten, that the apparent hostile majority in Ontario is entirely' due to the Tory gerrymander, for by their own admission the opposition has lost 10,000 on the popular vote since 1895. When a fair redistribution on the basis of the next census is made and it will be made before another election, the fact will be patent to the most casual observer that, when able to give an honest verdict, Ontario is Liberal like every other province in the Dominion. EDITORIAL NOTES. Municipal Taxpayer draws attention to the condition of the cemetery. The city should see'that all the ground set apart for cemetery purposes is properfly fenced. *" The following is taken from a letter of Dr. Jakes, published in the last issue of the Greenwood Miner: "Furthermore, I may state that the list of names to compose the committee, as, published'by Mr. Ross, does not correspond with the original list presented to him by the friends of compromise, but reads as amended by him." V. The list of names to. compose the committee was embodied in a communication signed by Duncan Ross and presented by the friends of compromise to Dr. Jakes. That com- mnnication is in Times office and any ratepayer is at liberty to compare it with the list published and he will find that no amendment has been made. deferred until the city is in a better financial position. I confidently believe that by the exercise of wise judgment, the finances of the city can be placed upon such a sound footing that necessary public works can be constructed without placing excessive burdens upon the present taxpayers. The credit of the city must be restored and maintained. Litigation should be avoided and I am in favor of au amicable settlement with tliose who have just claims against the corporation. ������' ��� ' If G reeuwood is to occupy the prominence to which she is entitled by natural advantage," the city must be brought into the closest touch with the surrounding mining camps. During 1901 every effort should be made to secure the construction of the tramway without imposing additional burdens on tlie ratepayers beyon:! those to which they are already pledged. The strength of every city, particularly one situated in the heart of a mining district, lies in its workingmen and its future depends upon them. I am in favor of recognizing their claims to proper protection. I believe eight hours should constitute aleg-al day?s work and this . principal should be adopted by the municipality. Generally speaking, I am in favor of municipal work being carried on by day labor, but in the' event of contract work being necessary, I would insist that contractors should pay the current wage. . ��� -y ��� . .' I am opposed to the employment of Chinese and the encouragement- of Chinese immigration and any power granted to the corporation by the Municipal Clauses Act should be exercised to the fullest extent in restricting their employment in the city. The mayor's time should be devoted to the work of the city,. I am not rich enough to do this without compensa_. tion and if elected T will expect a sufficient sum" to properly represent the city without loss to myself... The first of each year, estimates should be prepared giving each section .of the city an equitable share of the expenditure and these estimates should be religiously followed.

To The Editor:���As you are an aspirant lor the position of chief magistrate of this city, and apparently very conversant with the duties of the present civic administration,can you kindly inform me, through the columns of your paper, the names of the aldermen who constitute the cemetery com- tee. My reason for asking is because I desire to draw their attention to the fact: "That in all common charity" is their duty to see that some protection (in the shape of a log fence at least) should be constructed arouud that portion of the cemetery in which is supposed to be laid the remains of those unfortunates which the pale of civilization debars the privileges of consecrated rest. I observe in that plot one unfortunate mound under the sod of which rests a fallen woman and over which dogs, cattle and wild beasts may roam at will, and I would suggest, that as thc city pays for the service of a caretaker, he be instructed to devote suflicient time to remedy the negligence. I do not claim to assert that thc city is entitled to follow my suggestions, but the Good Book says .that "Jesus Christ died to save sinners," and surely the cemetery committee of the city of Greenwood, B. C, can condescend to protect from the devastation of beasts the remains of a poor outcast. Municipal Ratepayer.

Concentration of ores by the \ Use of Oil ) : 5 I FULLY DEALT WITH ) In a Paper by Chas. M. Rolkef, Well / 'Known Mininir Engineer, Who I investigated the Process. y "Cast week thc Times dre\r attention to a new process of concentration by oil. Through thc courtesy of Mr. A. L#. McEwen, a mining engineer well known here, but at present in Sumptcr, Ore., we publish an article recently published in the Mining Journal. The Journal says: "A paper on this subject was recently read before the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in London by Mr. Chiis. M. Rolker, a well known mining" engineer, who has been engaged by an influential mining firm to,report on the Elmore concentration process as in use at the Glasdir mines, 'North Wales. On the report of Mr. Rolker, a small company was formed, called the Ore Concentration Syndicate, limited, of 4 Bishopgate street, (within) London, E. C, for the purpose of continuing experiments with various classes of ores and introducing the process, where adaptable, into actual operation. The following facts will interest a, great many mining men as opening a new method of treatment to certain ores which yield unsatisfactory results by ordinary concentratio'n machinery. "The -process is based ..on a very curious property of oil and greasy substances of attaching themselves to metallic. and/ bright mineral surfaces in prefereace'to rocky or earthy ones. Experiments,and some resulting pat- ' ents. have- shown .that thin oils will . float off metallic surface minerals from ��� a crushed rock containing them, but it ' was found ''impossible either by dry, '.damp, or wet treatment of such ores to�� prevent an impracticable waste of oil by its attachment to the waste largely, as" well as the concentrates. A step in another direction was made at the De- Beers diamond mines, where thick grease is used on a shaking inclined surface,'������over' -which- the-broken rock passes, and to which any diamonds present attach themselves and are picked off at intervals. ,' - "Mr Elmore hit on the idea of mechanically mixing a thick residual oil with a flowing stream of pulp from a stamp battery or other wet pulverizer. He found by experiment that the use of a helical trough within a revolving cylinder furnished with baffle plates at intervals, produced so thorough an agitation of oil and water as to insure contact between the oil and minerals to which it is capable of attachment. Experiments on the length of cylinder necessary to get a high "extraction then led to the adoption of three cylinders, one above the other, driven by worm gearing. After trying many methods of separating the oil -from its collected minerals, it was found that -this could be done most._perf_ectly_b.v a centrifugal hydro extractor, which yields- the concentrates in an almost dry condition, and returns the oil free from mineral, to re-circulate in the cylinders. The novelty of the Elmore process consists, therefore, in the intermixture of oil with crushed ore and water, and then separating the oil from the collected minerals by a specially constructed centrifugal separator. As stated already, previous attempts to use oil had been mechanical and commercial failures while the present improvement has not only been fully worked out in detail,-but .is now established on on a regular commercial scale by the treatment of 50 tons of ore per day at the Glasdir mines, in North Wales, where about 5,000 tons have already been crushed and the concentrates sold to smelters. "At the Glasdir mines the plant consists of two five-feel Huntington mills, which crush wet to 30 mesh. The pulp flows direct to two sets of three each revolving cylinders, entering the upper one, where it is- joined by a small stream of thick ���mineral oil, and passing out at the lower end of the cylinder, when it drops into a small pointed settler box. The water and ore pass out at the bottom of the settler into the second cylinder, and the oil with its collected mineral flows off the top to the hydro-extractor for separation of the concentrates. In the second cylinder oil is again addedj the discharge again passes to a settler, and .the pulp from its bottom_to the third cylinder for the addition of more oil. The final discharge of the third cylinder goes to a much larger and' more perfect settling .box to fully float off all the oil. The oil from the three settlers passes to a hydro extractor with a solid basket and projecting flange above. The mineral packs on the inside of the basket, and the oil overflows by the top arouud the flange, to be pumped again into circulation through the mixing cylinders. When- the. centrifugal machine is fully charged with packed concentrates r it is" stopped and these are dropped through a: large opening in the bottom of the pan, and are treated to a further draining with addition of hot water in a'.'.second centrifugal. ma-. chine, this one being.'.filled with a perforated basket. "The ore successfully worked at the Glasdir mine consists"of a-fiue impregnation of iron and copper pyrites in: a hard black slate. It contains, on the average, as worked, only about one per cent of .copper and one d-wt.'of gold, per .-.ton. An elaborate and expensive concentration mill was "'erected by a German firm- to treat this ore. and it was a complete-failure, both, mechanically and commercially. The tailings were fullof fine float mineral, and the concentrates were imperfectly cleaned. It was following the failure of this concentration mill that the oil process was/developed by successive, experiment, and having in this case proved the advantages of the method over well known concentration machinery, trials have since been made on a variety of ores from different parts of *.he world to determiue new fields "for its application. "Some copper ores from South Africa which have been very wastefully treated in the past, owing to difficulty in concentration, caused by the presence of magnetite, have been in small tests enriched from 6 per cent to 40 per cent of copper. Another copper ore from Mexico, where the presence of heavy garnets interferes greatly with concentration, has given very promising results by yielding a concentrate of 23 per cent copper from mill'tailings. In both these cases the final tailings after the oil process was quite poor. Free gold seems easily caught by the oil even when quite coarse, although there may be no advantage on "such material over existing processes. Some of the copper ores from the Mount Iliyell district seem well adapted to the treatment, and experiments with tel- luride ores from Western Australia are being made which appear very promising."' "Generally, it would seem that the process has a future in cases of difficulty by water concentration arising from brittleness or lightness of minerals to be separated,or from heavy gangue accompanying the minerals, such as have spar, magnetite, garnets, rhodonite, etc It does not seem to matter how finely the mineral breaks; if it is a mere scum on the water surface, contact with,the oil* in "agitating cylinders seems to be insured. , Where water is scarce the process has a great advantage, for the rock can*be crushed with the minimum quantity for a concentration plant, and by settling can be used over and over again, a little muddiness of the returned water being no disadvantage. In practice it has been found at Glasdir that very little attention is required for the control of the process, that considerable variations .in quantity, of oil supply and temperature are allowable, and unskilled labor can be made available. The plant is much simpler than that of an ordiuary concentration mill, is not expensive to install, is subject to little or no wear or tear, and can be put below any wet crushing machinery. Material as coarse as 20 mesh can be concentrated. - "As regards the cost of treatment, this may be taken as the same as equal in labor to equivalent" concentration plant (the cost of crush ing-is,of course, common to both),, plus the cost of oil and any royalty for use of process. The loss of oil has been found to be in Wales, one and one-forth gallons per ton of ore treated, and may be taken as varying according to ore and other conditions be. ween one and two gallons per ton.

Nothing will helo to allay the senseless race cry quicker, or at any rate, nothing'-vill destroy its effect so soon, as an understanding- of the fact���and it is a fact���that the government's majority is not dependent on Quebec. Even were it so Quebec, has as much right to make her voice heard and her influence felt as any; other province, but if Quebec were left out of the cal- ������ dilation altogether, there would still be a Eiberal majority. But it must never be forgotten, that the apparent hostile majority in Ontario is. entirely due to the Tory gerrymander, for by their own admission the opposition has lost 10,000 on the popular vote since 189S. When a fair redistribution ou the basis of the next census is made and it will be made before another election, the fact will be patent to the most casual observer that, when able to give an honest verdict, Ontario is Liberal like every other province in the Dominion. ..,' ; : EDITORIAL, NOTES.

The city should see'that all the ground set apart for cemetery purposes is properfly fenced. * The following is taken from a letter of Dr. Jakes, published in the last issue of the Greenwood Miner: "Furthermore, I may state that the list of names to compose the committee, as published'by Mr. Ross, does not correspond with the original list presented to him by the friends of compromise, but reads as amended by him." ;. The list of" names to. compose the committee was embodied in a communication signed by Duncan Ross and presented by the friends of compromise to Dr. Jakes. That communication is in Times office and any .ratepayer is at liberty to compare it with the list.published and he will find that no amendment has been made. THE CEMETERY. To *HE Editor:���As you are an aspirant for the position of chief magistrate of this city, and apparently very conversant with the duties of the present civic administration,can you kindly inform me, through the columns of your paper, the names of the aldermen who constitute the cemetery com- tee. My reason for asking is because I desire to draw their attention to the fact: "That in all common charity" is their duty to see that some protection (in the shape of a log fence at least) should be constructed around that portion of the cemetery in which is supposed to be laid the remains of those unfortunates which the pale of civilization debars the privileges of consecrated rest. I observe in that plot one unfortunate mound under the sod of which rests a fallen woman and over which clogs, cattle and wild beasts may roam at will, and I would suggest, that as the city pays for the service of a caretaker, he be instructed to devote sufficient time to remedy the negligence. ' I do not claim to assert that thc city is entitled to follow my suggestions, but the Good Book says-that "Jesus Christ died to save sinners," and surel3* the cemetery committee of the city of Greenwood, B. C, can condescend to protect from the devastation of beasts the remains of a poor outcast. Municipal Ratepayer. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. 1901- To the Electors of the Municipality of the City of Greenwood: Ladies and Gentlemen:���I am a candidate for the office of mayor at the approaching municipal election and respectfully solicit your votes and influence. During the campaign I will have opportunities of explaining my views at length. Briefly stated, I am in favor of the following-: The present state of city finances and the stringency of the money market make it impossible to enunciate a well defined policy of public improvements. An adequate system of waterworks is necessary aud also some suitable plan of sewering the city, but these and other improvements must be deferred until thc city is in a better financial position. I confidently believe that by the exercise of wise judgment, the finances of the city can be placed upon such a sound footing that necessary public works can be constructed without placing excessive burdens upon the present taxpayers. The credit of the city must be restored and maintained. Litigation should be avoided and I am in favor of au amicable settlement with tliose who have just claims against the corporation. ��� ��- ��� ��� If Greenwood is to occupy the prominence to which she is entitled by natural advantage,' the city must be brought into the closest touch with the surrounding* mining camps. Dining 1901 every effort should be made to secure the construction of the tramway without imposing additional burdens ou th"e ratepayers beyoml those to which they are already pledged. The strength of every city, particularly one situated in fhe heart of a mining district, lies in its workingmen and its future depends upon them. I am in favor of recognizing their claims to proper protection. I believe eight hours should constitute a legal day's work and this principal should be adopted by the municipality. Generally speaking, I am in favor of municipal work being carried on by day labor, but in the" event of contract work being necessary, T would insist, that contractors should pay the current wage. , * I am opposed to the employment of Chinese and tlie encouragement- of Chinese immigration and any power granted to the corporation by the Municipal Clauses Act should be exercised to the fullest extent in restricting their employment in the city. The mayor's time should be devoted to the* work of the city.. I am not rich enough to do this without compensa_. tion and if elected 'I will expect a suf-. ficient sum* to properly represent the city without loss to myself.. The first of each year, estimates should.be prepared giving each section .of the city an equitable share of the expenditure ��� and* these estimates should be religiously followed. I am your obedient servant,' -- Duncan Ross. CHURCH NOTICE THE BANK OF Roman Catholic church, Greenwood, B.

THB GREENWOOD WEEKLY TIMES December 20, 1900. Concentration of ores by the Use of Oil FULLY DEALT WITH In a Paper, by Ciias. M. Rolker, Well ���Known Mining Engineer, Who Investigated the Process. X.ast week thc Times drew attention to a ne\v process of concentration by oil. Through the courtesy of Mr. A. ** Iy. Mc_3*-veii, a ruining- engineer well known here, but at present in Sumpter, Ore., we publish an article recently published in the Mining Journal. The Journal says: "A paper on this subject was recently read before the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in London by Mr. Chits. M. Rolker, a well known mining' engineer, who 'has been engaged by an influential mining firm to report on the Elmore concentration process as in use at the Glasdir mines, North Wales. On the report of Mr. Rolker, a small company was formed, called the Ore Concentration Syndicate, Lfimited, of 4 Bishopgate street, {within) London, E. C, for the purpose of coutiuuing experiments with various classes of ores and introducing the process, where adaptable, into actual operation. The following facts will interest a great many mining men as ��� opening a new method of treatment to certain ores-which yield unsatisfactory results by-ordinary concentration machinery. . "The -process is based _on a very "curious"property of oil and greasy substances of attaching themselves to metallic arid, bright mineral surfaces in preference'to rocky or earthy ones. Experiments and some resulting pat- -7,en*^'have";rshoyfa that thin oils will '. float off metallic surface minerals from y7.aiCtfushed rock containing them, but it V.was"':'fdu'nd'"impossible either by dry, damp, or wet treatment of such ores to* "prevent an impracticable waste of oil by its attachment to the waste largely, as1 well as the concentrates. A step in another direction was' made at the De- Beers .diamond mines, where thick grease < is used on a shaking inclined surf ace,'* ���over' -which- the broken rock passes, and to which any diamonds present attach themselves and are picked off at intervals. "Mr Elmore hit on the idea of mechanically inixinga thick residual oil with a flowing stream of pulp from a stamp battery or other wet pulverizer. He found by , experiment that the use of a helical trough within- a revolving cylinder furnished with baffle plates at intervals, produced so thorough an agitation of oil and water as to insure contact between the oil and minerals to which it is capable of attachment. Experiments on the length of cylinder necessary to get a high extraction then led to the adoption of three cylinders, one above the other, driven by worm gearing. After trying many methods of separating the oil from its collected minerals, it was found that this coi_ld be done most perfectly by a centrifugal, hydro extractor," which" yields' the concentrates in an almost dry condition, and returns the oil free from mineral, to re-circulate in" the cylinders. The novelty of the Elmore process consists, therefore, in the intermixture of oil with crushed ore and water, and then separating the oil from the collected minerals by a specially constructed centrifugal separator. As stated alrea'dy, previous attempts to use oil had been mechanical and commercial failures while the present improvement has not only been fully worked out in detail, but .'is now established on on a regular commercial scale by the treatment of SO tons of ore per day at the Glasdir mines, in North Wales, where about 5,000 tons have already been crushed and the concentrates sold to smelters. "At the Glasdir mines the plant consists of two five-feet Hnntingtot. mills, ���which crush wet to 30 mesh. The pulp flows direct to two sets of three each revolving cylinders, entering the upper one, where it is ��� joined by a small stream of thick 'minera-oil, and passing out at the lower end of the cylinder, when it drops into a small pointed settler box. The water and ore pass ��� out at the bottom of the settler into the second cylinder, and the oil with its collected mineral flows off the top to the hydro-extractor for separation of the concentrates. In the second cylinder oil is" again addedythe discharge again passes to a settler, and..the pulp from its bottom.-to the third cylinder for the addition of more oil. The final discharge of the third cylinder goes to a much larger and'more perfect settling box to fully float off all the oil. The oil from the three settlers passes to a hydro extractorcwith a solid basket and projecting flange above. The mineral packs on the inside of the basket, and the oil overflows by the top arouudthe flange, to be pumped again into circulation through thc mixing cylinders. When the. centrifugal machine is fully charged with packed concentrates-it is stopped and these are dropped through a large opening in the bottom of the pan, and are treated to a further draining with addition of hot water in a second centrifugal -machine, this one being filled with a perforated basket. "The ore successfully worked at the Glasdir mine consists of a fine impregnation of iron and copper pyrites in a hard black slate. It contains, on the average, as worked, only about one per cent of copper and one dwt. of gold per ton. An elaborate and expensive concentration mill was 'erected by a German firm to treat this ore, and it was a complete failure, both mechanically and commercially. The tailings were full of fine float mineral, and the concentrates were imperfectly cleaned. It .was following the failure of this concentration mill that the oil process was developed by successive experiment, and having in this case proved the advantages of the method over well known concentration machinery, trials have since been made on a variety of ores from different parls of "lhe world to determine new fields 'for its application. "Some copper ores from South Africa which have been very wastefully treated in the past, owing to difficulty in concentration, caused by the presence of magnetite, have been in small tests enriched from 6 per cent to 40 per cent of copper. Another copper ore from Mexico, where the presence of heavy garnets interferes greatly with concentration, has given very promising results by yielding a concentrate of 23 per cent copper from miirtailings. In both these cases the final tailings after the oil process was quite poor. Free gold seems easily caught by the oil even when quite coarse, although there may be no advantage on such material over existing processes. Some of the copper ores from the Mount Lyell district seem well adapted to the treatment, and experiments with tel- luride ores from Western Australia are being made' which appear very promising-'" ���-Generally, it would seem that the process has a future in cases of difficulty by water concentration arising from brittleness or lightness of minerals to be separated,or from heavy gangue accompanying the minerals, such as have spar, magnetite, garnets. rhodonite, etc. It does not seem to matter how finely the mineral breaks ; if it is a mere scum on the water surface, contact with the oil' in agitating cylinders seems to be insured. Where water is scarce the process has a great advantage, for the rock canbe crushed with the minimum quantity for a concentration, plant,' and by settling can be used over and over again, a little muddiness of the returned water being no disadvantage. In practice it has been found at Glasdir that very little attention is required for the control of the process, that considerable variations .in quantity of oil supply and temperature are allowable, and unskilled labor can be made available. The plant is much simpler than that of an ordinary concentration mill, is not expensive to install, is subject to little or no wear or tear, and can be put below any wet crushing machinery. Material as coarse as 20 mesh can be concentrated. - "As regards the cost of treatment, this may be taken as the same as equal in labor to equivalent" concentration plant (the cost of crushing is,of_course, common to both), plus the cost of oil and any royalty for use of process. The loss of oil has been found to be in Wales, one and one-forth gallons per ton of ore treated, and may be taken as varying according to ore and other conditions belween one and two gallons per ton. "By thc Elmore process, at the Gladir mine, between 70 and 80 per cent of the values are saved." Perfect healer of skin diseases and piles. Cure guaranteed by Miller Bros., druggists, 25c.

Alternate Title | [The Boundary Creek Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-12-20 |
Description | The Boundary Creek Times was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from September 1896 to March 1911. The Times was published first by the Times Publishing Company (1896-99), and then by the Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company (1901-1911), and its longest-serving editor was Duncan Ross (1897-1907). In April 1911, the Times was absorbed by another Greenwood-based paper, the Ledge. The Times was revived in 1983, and it continues to be published out of a small building in downtown Greenwood to this day. |
