MOST VALUABLE DISCAYEIty IN METALLURGY,
IN THE ANGLE,sEY MINES.

An improvement of the utmost importance has
receotly I.rete &intik in the melting and alining of
comm.!' ore• 11r Ilse Mine,* of ANGLES/IN by which a
a sating of nye, ly E. ETU sport the whole pro-
duce of these mines has been effected for Ibr beurfit
of the Proprietors. The fact has horn ascertained
and provesi by the following simple
rxprriurrut :
Certain quanhttrs of the ores of tine mines (being
precisely tf the some quality and 'heeling) were
weighed and diritli-d into tan eipsui parts; one of
these two parts, being incited and refined according
to the old process, produced in fine metal two
• !malted und thirty-three tons ; the other moiety,
refined upon the new principle, yielded Iwo hundred
amel,sevexty-six toss of metal ; exhibithig a differ-
ence, Its 1;IVOtlf of the new plan. of'43 tons of metal,
or about 18 per cent and equivalent, is money, to
between four stud five thousand pounds.
Without all the scientific details of this
new process; it may suffice to observe here, that it
Is chiefly founded upon the disuse of is certain FLUE
imported into Anglesey from Cornwall, known by
the name of FLUOR SPAR, or 111.1'E Affix, a very
Sharp stud searching' flux, hut which has been cow
proved, when applied to the Anglesey ores, to have
been absolutely destructive misuil.PTioN) of a
considerable portion of the metal with w hitch it
conies u, contact. It is stated that this discovery,
and the tiller tejectiini of this floe, in sill future
operatious, will be a gain of loamy tl sends of
pounds per sunuw, to the Yroprietors of the Al:-
glesey Copper Mines._
