Now Invention for the Treatment OF
RebelliOus Ores,

\ Mr.. Hester, n young engineer oil
San Francisco, is said to have discov-
cred a new process for the reduction OF
arsenical sulphurets and other refrac-
tory ores, which is highly spoken of by
the press of that city. II is with plea
sure that we chronicle every step made
in the direction of a reduction in the
cost of the treatment Of rebellious ores,
as a discovery that would mako 1t
profitable to work the numerous veins
in what is called our base metal range,
would DO Of incalculable value not only
TO this district but to every other in the
eastern portion of our State. The San
Francisco Times thus describes the pro-
cess: "To all outward appearance the
machine is very simple, consisting OF
three barrels, one of castsiron and two
of wood. The iron cylinder is about
half filed with s%ulphurets or pulver-
lied ore, and revolyed over q moderate
fire for an hour, keeping it below a red
heat. The ore having been thor
oughly heated through is drawn out into
n wooden cylinder, and ten per cent.
of quicksilver added, aud the opening
then made 0ir-tight, to prevent the
fumes Of the quicksilver from escaping.
After revolving for two hours, the ore
and quicksilver are found to be init
mately mixod together, and the gold
and silver amalgamated. The charge
is then drawn off into the third barrel
and diluted with water, and after re-
volving for two hours the quicksilver
and aImalgam are drawn off. The
secret of this process is in this
last barrel, used as II settler, for, in
every instance, with the most refractory
arscnical sulphurets, aud with combi.
nations OF lead and iron the quicksilver
is found at the bottom, collecting aud
forming an amalgam containing over 90
per cent. Of the gold and silver, while
the only appreciablc loss in quicksilver
in a months working was what was
| spilt by cnrclessness outside. Tho cost
| OF working five tons n day ought not to
exceed $50. \ ive-horsc engine would
not give an excess of power, and grad
ing the barrels properly, two common
loborers on q shift could keep the
machine going to full capacity"
