STORMS IN EASTERN COLORA-

Fierce Winds. Binding Snow and Drift

TraIns-Grrat Loss to Live Stock.

Denver, April 9.-One of the worst
storms that railroad men have had to
contend with in years has been raging
north, east and south Of Denver.
strong wind, heavy snow snow fall and
drifting sands rendered it impossible
to keep the roads cleared SO that trains
could run while the storm lasted
and only late yesterday did the storm
abate sufficiently to allow OF active
work in clearing the track. Last night
trains began to get in that had been
stalled on the plains from ten to sixty
hours.
No trains have got through on the
Kansas Pacific or Rock Island since
Friday afternoon. The Kansas Pacific
Is stuck with two snow plows and four
engines in fifteen feet of snow. The
Rock Island got within two miles OF
here from the West with rotary
snow plow and broke down and got
within one mile from the East with an
other and then it also broke down. Inc
track has, however. been opened from
the east so that trains from the east
are now in the yards here. The fifteen
foot cut just east of the depot on the
Rock Island is full from bank to bank
plows are disabled and one wedge plow
is in the snow bank off the track and
crosswise on the rail, it will be slow

hardly expect to get their ualns
through until some time Monday.
Dispatches from the towns on the
plains east Of here report great loss
of live stock.

mate of the loss of cattle, but to say

One of T.. Robinson's fiocks and herder

day Robinson and several men are
finding sheep scattered over the prairie
from ten to twenty miles from home,
but at II o'clock last night the herder,
Mexican, has not been found. 1t Is
hardly possible that he lived throughout
the storm unless he found shelter.
Trainmcn coming in on the Rock Is

has rescued the smallest and lightest
particles of gold. The process used is
combination of centrifugal power and
what may be called "water and sand
blast.n 1t is thus described:
In this machine there is circular re-
volving vertical cylinder closed at the
bottom but open at the top. This cyl
inder is very strong, being made of tough
annealed steel, to Withstand the great
centrifugal pressure which is developed
by the rapid rotation to which it is sub
iected when in operation.
Mercury is poured into this cylinder,
the rapid rotation of which causes the
mercury to climb and cover the entire
vertical wall, where it is held in COM
pact, condensed condition by the centri-
fugal pressure, provision being made in
the construction of the machine to pre-
vent the mercury from being thrown out.
In the csnter there is a feeder or dis
trihutor, attached to the cylinder and re-
volving Herewith through the upper
opening of which the sand and water,
or pulp, enter and pass downward and
outward through the openings Tie
water and sand are set in rapid motion
by flanges and on leaving the lower edge
are thrown with immense force against
the vertical wall of mercury.
On striking, the gold penetrates the
mercury, but the sand rebounds, is car
ried upward by the water and discharged
over the upper edge Of the cylinder into
an outer casing, from whence it passes
into the tail race. Gold being of high
specific gravity--no matter how almost
invisibly fine it may be-on striking
with such force, has the penetrating
power to pass through the mercury and
lodge against the walls of the cylinder,
where it is held by centrifugal pressure,
while the crushed quartz, being of low
specific gravity, rebounds and is carried
away. The principle of projecting gold
bearing mediums against mercury whilst
held in a condensed condition by centri
fugal power is something entirely new in
mining.
When used in quartz mills small ma
chine, occupying floor space of only
316 feet, will entirely do away with the
400 of plataa in the hattariaa vannara
and cyanide or other processes and will
make perfect extraction of all the free
gold from 800 tons of crushed quartz per
day. Small hand power machines, weigh
ing less than fifty pounds each, will
handle many tons per day, and can be
easily carried about by the prospector.

METHODS FOR REscuINc GOLD AND SILVER.

No more important study occupies the
attention of the inventive genius of the
world than that involved in contriving
and perfecting more effective methods
for liberating the precious metals from
their fatiguing and degrading bondage
to numerous materials of the baser sort.
The fact that the inventors realize this is
amply attested by the almost daily multi
plication of new appliances for extract
ing and saving the white and yellow
metals az result of their ceaseless ex-
periments, and, while many of these de-
vices fail when the hard tests of actual
use are applied, the marked improve
ments made in the processes for treating
ores during the past few years have not
only greatly stimulated the mining in
dustry, but afford encouragement for
continued effort in that direction.
Mining and milling men all know full
we'll that immense values are locked up
in what are commonly called refractory,
low grade ores, and many of them realize
to their sorrow how many and how stub
born are the difficulties surrounding the
reduction of these ores even at a small
margin of profit. These men will natur-
ally watch with deep interest the opera
ton of an establishment in Ipswich, Eng
land, which undertakes, by means of a
newly devised process, to recover over 95
per cent of the assay value of refractory
gold and silver ores at minimum of
cost. The plant is thus described by the
Philadelphia Record:
at comprises one 1S-horse power en-.
CINE, 5-stamp battery, 4horse power dy-
namo, electrical amalgamator pan and
settler. The only chemical necessity is a
solution of common salt of one-half per
cent strength, which is fed into the bat
terry with the ore; the electric current de-
composes the salt, liberatiug chlorine at
the positive pole, and forming sodium
amalgam with the quicksilver at the
negative pole; in this way the gold is in a
finely divided condition, and is chlorid-
lied and afterward deposited in the
quicksilver. The sulphides and chlor.
ides of silver are decomposed by the
sodium and hydrogen formed al the mega
tive pole, and the silver is thus liberated
in contact with the quicksilver and
amalgamated.
"The process is capable of treating auri-
ferrous pyrites and sulphureted silver ores
without previous roasting. From the
battery a spout carries the pulverized
ore and salt solution into a vertical
steel cylinder, inside of which are re-
volving carbon shaft and quantity of
quicksilver; the pulp passes from this to
a revolving horizontal cylinder and
thence to.the pan and settler, nearly all
the mineral that has escaped from the
cylinder being recovered in the settler"
The continuance of an adequate method
for saving the great values, which every
placer miner Ia conscious exist in the
form Of -four gold, has also proved a
most difficult and puzzling problem to
inventors. This troublesome task, IL il
claimed, has been accomplished by an in.
ventor named Macmaster in the state Of
Washington, who has invented a COM
paratively cheap and simple machine,
which, 10 numerous experimental tests,
