Rich RESULT BY m Burns PRo-
cSss.-A few weeks ago We made an
item relative to some samples OF ore
from Excelsior District, I" lac seen at
Collins Hat Store, Virginia. which had
been subjected to the Burns desul-
phuriziug process. Yesterday we were
shown the result OF an assay of some
Of this desulphurized ore, from the
Empire ledge, rear the town OF VI sadow
Lake, Excelsior. It was made by Mr..
C. james, asssyer, ut the Yellow
Jacket works, and showed the follow.
ing yield: Gold, Sl,ss3 60; silver,
Sl4 l3; total, per ton Of 1000 pounds,
81, 1897 10. The assaysr gives il as his
opinion that the process simply expels
the sulphur, and converts the ore from
n salphuret into an oxide. He esti-
mates that there still remains in the
ore from so to 60 per cent. of iron.
Notwithstanding this, however, il rs
pretty good to get rid OF the sulphur,
which has been heretofore one grand
object in all the mines Of tho State,
especially those containing base metals
Those at Excelsior all partake OF the
sulphuret character to an extra
ordinary degree, by reason OF
which they could not heretofore
be worked to advantage aud profit.
Some Of the best rock, assaying
from GOO to 1000 per ton, could not be
made to mill over 81? per ton, just by
reason of this odious combination with
sulphur. We are not posted MS to what
this Burns process consists of; all we
know is that n Mrs. Burns Of Meadow
Lake dreamed it out, and her usoan
got u patent on it. A company Of inhu-
entail and moneyed gentlemen have
taken the matter in hand, and are
making full preparations for desnlphur-
iziug ore by the new process on n large
scale. They say they will do it tor SIS
per ton. Parties interested III the
Of excelsior are much encouraged
BY the results of the new process, know
ing the real value of the rich sulphuret
ore, and confidently predict that in n
year from now that district will be bet
ter Than White Pine. The desulphur-
lied samples Of ore at Collins hat store
are well worthy the inspection OF all
in such matters.
SwEaRs To Ir.-There having been
degree of doubt expressed as to
the robbiug of William Weir, the bacon
dealer from Sacramento, at American
Flat, about a week ago, the gentleman
himself, who is now in California, sends
over au affidavit that he actually was
robbed by ~highwaymeu, "s stated. II
is rough enough to be thus waylaid and
robbed, without having to swear to it
afterwards in order to be believed.
