The Greg. Process.

The modns opeydqai OF the Gregg
teaching process, which for some time
past has been in practical operation in
Utah. is thus furnished by tho Salt
Lake Tribune:
The teaching is carried on in q wood
en- tank. the ore having been previously
crushed aud passedthrough "a No. 80
screen. The tank being filled with this
prepared ore. the liquor is poured on
for two hours, then drawn of into what
il termed the preo!pi.aling tanks. IN
to the latter, when .ull. a chemical
substance ID thrown, which percipiiates
the silver as a black smlphide. This is
collected in flannel sacks; other cheml.
cal matter is then added to carry of the
base substances, when the contents are
strained and dried III an oven. Sub
s~squently they are passed into a
Eoaster and converted into mGite, when
II is ready for the crucible. Some g..
poo ounces Of siive. have already been
produced by this process. All the lead
IN the ore is lost, but it is claimed that
o. per cent. OF the silver is saved. The
ore treated contained IS ounces per
ton OF silver per assay, and o per cent.
lead. The originator Of the process is
. Mr.. Gregg. who associated with Mes.
srs. Cushing & Gamble, OF Utah, has
works at Bingham. Of the capacity OF
rs tons per day. The cost Of operation
by this process, after The ore reaches
the works, is abou. three dollars per
ton.
The eridcnoes IN far, are that this
method Of reducing base ores is a IONA
fds success, aud will have The eject Of
giving value to a large class Of ORES
heretofore worthless. owing to their
low grade; the cost Of reduction by all
former methods being equal 20 o!
greater than tho yAine Of tho mineral.
contained in them.
Should this new process, after Ia,
fullest testing, con,inie e bear out ID,
views Of it, thcrits now confidently en-.
tertained. its general adoption thr9ug G
out the mining districts VI lha eoaat,
may o be expected. A process o.
reduction by which low grade ores
which invariably form tho bulk Of IL.
yield In every locaiity-nigh, be profit.
ably worked has through all these
years been the great d;stdsram,s, nnd
how. according to what is regarded a,
good authority, Mr.. Gregg has. in tho
laboratory Of science evolved the i'm.
portant secret, and may Justly exelaim.

Abiding to the above the; FSO'iight
observes:
