NEW ELECTRICAL PROCESS

A new electrical gold extraction process
has been in use for some time and the
results are of interest to Caliiornians.
The Electrical Engineer in commenting
ON it says: If rep rts are to be credited
a new electrical gold extraction process
has been introduced in the De kasp dis
trict, South Africa, which obviates the
use OF chemicals, including cyanide.
Experiments, it appears. have been tried
for some time past with such success as
to warrant the announcement that an in
expensive method of treating refractory
aurfe Gus ores has been hit upon; but
as no particulars are vOuchsafed we can
not pass Judgment On the discovery. Lo.
cally, the process-which has been in
operation at the Scotsman mine-is
known as the Button Wyeth process.
By the application of an electric current
OF . certain strength to the tables-or
rather to the matter flowing over--the
mercury is kept in an active state of sus-
pension while the baser metals are sep
arated from the gold. This is done with
no extra expense in milling beyond the
small amount of power required for driv
ing the dynamo. while in cases where
there is no lighting installation. the cur
rent used for the tables is available for
such pun poses. This new process, SO it
| is said, saves all the float gold. and it can
also be applied to shines or tailings. al
! though we are told the electric tables give
far better results when applied direct to
| the batterv. so that the float gold, which
| in many cases represents pennyweights to
the ton, may be saved.

months among the local societies that

The Legion Franchise was organized
November 26, 1892. Captain Biaude

was society that was strong from its

and fraternal.

San Francisco, Nov. 1.-The people Of
the city are almost as much excited
tonight over the verdict In the Dur
rant case as they were when the hor-
rible Emanuel church murders were
first discovered. For months the Dur
rant case has been the all-absorbing
topic here and every phase of the most
sensational trial In the history of the
Pacific coast has been followed with
close attention. While some few Of
Durrants friends profess to believe 1t
was impossible for him to commit the
crimes. the general verdict Is that he
is guilty and should hang. The YER
dict was announced just in time for the
evening papers and in an incredibly
snort time extra editions were on the
streets. Crowds gathered about the
bulletin boards in various parts of the
city and general satisfaction was ex-
pressed that the arch-criminal Of the
century had been convicted.
