HOW GOLD CRe is SMELTED.
4 charge of 1t Is Mixed with Lime. Stag
and Ioke.

and coke.
After the gold ore has reached the
smelter. being weighed, sampled and
separated into piles for the variOus bins,
each pile Is pulverized in a amachinc that
works upon the principle of coffee
mill. From this sample three or more
paDcr sacks are filed, of which two are
sent to the assay Office. one to be sam
pIed and the other filed away. The
third sack is sent TO the shipper of the
ore. Each sack is marked with the
SINNERS name. name of the mine II
crivcn by the shipper, lot number. ear
number. if any, and date when sam
ul,d If the ore is very lumpy
il is crushed before sampling. This
unloading into n bin is continued
until the bin Is full. and, accord
ing To the Leadville Herald, it may hold
anywhere from five hundred to three
thousand tons. When filed. the super
intcndent obtains a list of all ores and
weights of lots that have gone there,
which constitute what Is called mix
ture. This list he takes to the assay
office. and gets an average assay on the
silver. gold. lead. zinc, iron, lime, etc.
in order that he may know what to add
to make a good smelling charge. Sep
or.ate niles Of lead and iron ore are
made. To supply the furnaces when
needed. The superintendent makes out
a list Of the different mixtures and the
weight from each that are to constitute
a furnace charge. About eight hundred
pounds of ore. one hundred and fifty
pounds Of lime, two hundred pounds OF
Stag and one hundred and fifty pounds
of coke 20 To make mp a charge.
This is. of course, varied in accord
ance with the character of the ore.
Each furnace will treat from one hun
drcd and fifty to two hundred tons of
these charges in twenty-four hours.
The lead in the mixture when treaued
in the furnace runs down into the bot
tom. carrying with it the precious
metals. The Stag. being lighter, floats
on top of the lead and is taken OFF
through a tap hole. The lead, or
rather the bullion, Is dipped out Of a
we'll in the side of the furnace and
poured into molds. After cooling the
bars are taken ont and sampled, a hol-
low punch being used that brings out
small core. 1t il usual for convenience
to sample the bars in lots of 500 each.
The puuchingS Of each lot are aSSayed
to determine their contents. The bull
lion Is now ready for market or for fur
thcr treatment.
