Superintendent Catchings Of the
Humboldt company informs the LIB
ERAL that Noel May, who recently ex-
ported the company's property here is
on his way back from Memphis to
erect a teaching plant the material for
which has been ordered. The plant
is similar to the ones used at Swansea,
Wales, the great head center of met
talluTgy, and consists of three tanks.
Into the first or larger one will run
all the shines and tailings from the
vanncrs, which will be allowed to
settle, the sediment will consist of
silica and will carry little or no metal.
The water, which carries the value
will be syphoned into q seconed tank
which will be a large charcoal filter
and will catch most Of the value, held
in solution. The water from this tank
containing an amount of chloride of
silver in solution, will pass to a third
tank where it will be acted on by some
chemicals, which are held to be a
secret by Colonel May, and whilh will
prccipitate all of the silver held in
solution. The only loss in the opera
ton will be in what metal is carried
down by the silica in the first tank.
The vanners are able to save only
GO per cent of the value in the ore,
and this new process is guaranteed 10
save from 95 to 100 per cent of the
valnc in the tailings, which which will
