Cheap Reduction of ores.

The New York Mining Record has been
examing the Hamilton process for reducing
ores, by which it is claimed that the most
refractory rock can be treated for less than
one dollar per ten, and gives the following
description Of it:
Our attention, as mentioned in our last
tissue, having been called to the method of
extracting gold and silver from ore, patent
ed BY Walter Hamilton. the well known as
sayer and mineralogist Of this city, we took
occasion to, visit the extensive works. now
about completed, at the foot OF Fifteenth
street, North River, our purpose being to
determine for ourselves il this was really
what was claimed for it, viz: the greatest in.
vention5o Of the century.
We found . large substantial building,
50x175 feet, containing the most perfect and
complete plant Of the kind We ever saw. hay-
lag everything necessary for the treatment
Of any class Of ore containing gold or silver.
at the rate of at least 100 tons per day. Up
on entering the building we were met by
Mr. Hamilton, who kindly accompanied us
through the works and explained the work
inga OF the different parts Of the machines.
and demonstrated to our entire satisfaction
the perfection to which he has brought his
process.
The first thing that attracted our attention
was The arrangements for crushing and pull
the ores as they arrive. These

phureted ores, q volume of gas IS introduced
that completely changes the gases as they
are eimated from the ore, which IS delivered
at the end Of the cylinder perfectly desul-
phuTized. From the roasting furnace the
ore is then taken by another elevator into
what is called the vacuum-furnace, where Il
passed through a bath of melted lead. This
part Of the machine is SO constructed that
the ore is held submerged in the molten lead
and automatically distributed about it IN
such q manner as to insure every particle OF
the ore coming in contact with the lead, then
escaping, the tailings are carried by 9 con
Veyor to the dump.
This process of reducing ore is based upon
the established fact, recognized by all smelt-
eTs and assayers, that gold or silver, when
heated to the proper temperature, have q
much stronger affinity for molten lead than
for quicksilver, and becomes instantly taken
up by the lead upon contact. One great ad-
vantage that struck us in Mr. Hamilton's pro-
cess is, that from the time the ore is put into
the crllsher untilit is dumped on the pile for
tailings, it is not seen nor handled, thereby
saving a great amount Of labor. Another
point is the economy in fuel, it requiring
very little more than would be used in run
ming q steam engine, and on the point Of
economy these works are fully capable of
working 100 tons per day, and we cannot see
how it is possible for it to cost 800 per day
to run them; consequently, Mr. Hamilton's
assertion that they can work ore for 81 per
ton nor only seems proven, but to Us appears
to be an over estimate of the cost. This pro-
cess has been taken up and is about to be
put before tina public by a company of prac-
teal men of large experience in mining, and
who have started with ample capital. They
have spared nostime or expense in the erec-
ton Of these works, and the result is as near
perfection as is possible.
