Production Of Nickel in Canada

j. K. Morvin, of Sudbury, Canada, an
employee of the Copper Cliff Mining com
pany, says more nickel is taken from the
mines around Sudbury than is called for by
the market of the world
''The mines," he said, ''are on branch
of the Canadian Pacific railway, four miles
long, which runs down from the main line.
They open right into the face of big cliff
Of the brown oxidized Laurentian rock
which abounds all through the region.
Mining is now being carried on at a depth
of about two hundred and fifty or three
hundred feet. The nickel is brought out
mixed with copper bearing rock and cal
cined over great wood fires, to drive out The
sulphur, after which it goes to the smelter.
or blast furnace. The process of calciniIg.
or roasting, as 1t is termed, requires about
six weeks. Long piles of fat pine wood
are built and the ore piled upon this Wood
is then piled over the piles, and this is kept
up, like charcoal burning, week in and
week out, until the ore is properly calcined.
These mines turn out fully 1900 tons q
year.
''The nickel and copper come from the
blast furnaces, after the dross is taken off.
in an alloy called matte, which contains
about 20 per cent. of nickel and 30 per cent.
of copper. When cold this mass is quite
brittle, and is broken to pieces with ham
mers and packed in barrels and shipped to
Germany, and Swansea in Wales, where
the metals are separated and refined by
secret processes, which have always been
guarded so zealously that we in America
have never been able to get the secret.
though, can tell you, it is not for lack of
trying very often.''
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-03-09
Dishonesty in Failures.

A great many failures in the east have
occurred of late, and one that is strictly
honest is the exception. There appears in
almost every case a record of doctored
books, concealed assets, useless and ruin
Gus expenses, relatives preferred as credi-
tors, and all the various tricks by which
something is done to save a portion at the
expenses of the creditors. All failures.
says an exchange, are not dishonest. To
fail honestly, with no deceit and no con-
cealmept, is no disgrace. Men are bound
to fail. 1t is currently stated that only one
out OF every ten business men succeed in
time or another. The causes of failure are
numerous and often absolutely unfore-
seen. The present mild weather. is causing
numerous business disasters. Yet no bust
ness man could have foreseen it. and one
who failed to put in fair stock of season
able goods would be considered foolish al
though that very stock is now causing his
bankruptcy.
1t is not against an honest failure, an
honest inability to pay expenses and a con-
sequent failure to meet obligations. that we
inveigh. Bankruptcy has become merely
convenient way of settling up with credit
ors and making new start with clean as
sets and no liabilities. The remedy is plain.
Every failure should be rigidly investi-
gated, every fraud punished, and in time
the commercial world will be educated
through fear If not through honor to be
honest

Lead Advances Ten Cents, While
Silver Declines a Point.
THE ORE AND BULLION OUTPUT.
Trade in the East and at Home-Utah and
Idaho Mining Properties-The
outlook Brilliant.

A glance over the events of the week
nst closed proves decidedly satisfactory.
While there has been nothing of a startling
Or exciting nature, growing trade is no
bleed on all hands. The improved weather
bf a few days had a most inspiring effect
rpon the building boom; in all quarters of
1he city old Ian dmarks are being razed to
make room for modern structures. and yet
the cry is ''Give us more room'' The in
lux of strangers is already very notice
Rble and each day sees an increase. "With
The flowers that bloom in the spring "there
will be an increase such as will make the
pld residents feel like strangers in a
strange land.
Business generally was never better
than at the present time. There is slight
Btagnation in certain lines, caused, of
rourse, by the fact that we are now at that
period known as between seasons, but the
queries propounded to number of the
leading retailers and wholesalers yester-
day brought forth nothing but the most
satisfactory replies. All are perfectly
satisfied, not only at the volume of bust
ness now enjoyed, but also in regard to the
outlook for the spring and summer trade.

Trade in the East.

Unreasonable weather and growing
doubts about the monetary future in New
Y ork do not help business, and reports this
week are less encouraging. Yet it must be
remembered that the reports of dealers
everywhere are liable to be much infu-
enced by disappointment of past hopes, so
that they consider trade unsatisfactory be-
cause it is not up to their expectations-be-
cause distribution does not suffice to clear
away stocks ENTHUSIASTICALLY the amount
OF transactions may be larger than year
ago. 10 the trader who bought 20 per cent
more than in any previous season, but has
only sold per cent. more, business is un-
satisfactory. The enormous traffic during
the latter part of last year showed that ex
ceptonally heavy purchases were made.
and the cleariDgs indicate that settlements
are IN larger amount than a year ago, last
week showing an increase of 4 per cent. at
New Y DIRK, > per cent. at Boston, Philadel-
phla and Chicago, and 10 per cent at all
other places. But the prevailing tone lust
now Is one of encouragement
Boston notes little Improvement. small
sales OF wool with prices favoring buyers,
good Jobblng trade in dry goods, for the
month up to the average, fair trade in
boots and shoes, though factories are short
oil orders, and collections in that trade and
some branches of dry goods not satisfac-
tory, weather having curtailed sales bv
retailers. The Philadelphia dry goods
market lacks life, bad weather affecting re-
tallers, though in spring clothing there are
better expectations, but collections are
slow.- The boot and shoe trade is fairly
active, and expecting the most prosperous
season Tor several years, but there is little
trading in wool, with some concessions.
chicago reports grain receipts up to last
year, with very large increase in dressed
beef and lard and cheese, and some in hides
and wool. AT st. Louis the distribution of
all seasonable goods is fair in volume. and
collections satisfactory. The trade is fairly
good, exceeding last years, at Cleveland:
restricted by warm weather at Detroit:
helped but little by colder weather at Mil
waukee; good at Omaha; only fair at Kan
