This tremendous revival Of an industry
which has been pro ecuted In list ess sort
Of way for upwards Of fifty yenrs in this
field, Is occasioned by the result of certain
experiments recently completed on a large
scale, in the concentration and subse-
quent reduction by chorination, OF
the metallic particles contained in fefrly

periments hare demonstrated that the Old
