Shines From Gold. Ores.

The miners in South Africa are trying
to get every particle of gold out of the au
rferouS MATERIAL The success of these
mines on the Rand is not in high grade
ores, for the yield per ton is small; but
there is plenty of ore and the facilities for
economical working admit Of large prohrs.
The cyanide process has itself revolution
lied the systems of working gold ores.
Now the largest mine there, the Robinson,
which has been allowing its shines to go
to waste, has been successfully saving
them of late, and the Crown Reef company
has put up a SIS, 900 plant, designed by
Mr.. Williams for treating the shines as
a they come direct from the mill. This
is matter of great interest in California as
we'll as South Africa. The new plant re
ferred to consists of three masonry settling
pits, shaped like inverted cones; five iron
oyanidng tanks, four pumps and four Sic
mena Halslls precipitating boxes. The
mill pulp, after passing in the ordinary

ration of the tailings, passes through
special series of spitzluten, which removes
the last portion of extremely fine sands
carried over with the shines. On leaving
this the current carrying the shines re-
ceives from perforated over head launder
a continuous slow stream of solution of
lime, with which it is thoroughly mixed
as it flows toward and into the settling
pits. There the lime acts the rapid sub
sidenoe of shines, the liquid leaving the
third pit being practically clear and free
from slime. The settled shines in the pits
form sludgy mass, which spumped into
the cyanide tank, one-half of the requisite
amount of cyanide solution being intro
duCed into the tanks before charging with
sludge, and one-half after. The bottoms
of these tanks slope from the sides toward
the center, where a pump pipe projects into
the tank. Another pipe enters the tank at
the side close to the bottom, and constant
circulation of the thin muddy mass is thus
kept up, pump being used to withdraw it
from the central pipe and injeotingt
back into the tank through the side pipe.
The mass of slime is thus kept in suspen-
sion in contact with the cyanide solution
for two or three hours, when circulation is
stopped and the mass allowed to subside.
It settles quickly and the supernatant liq-
ud is drawn off through a series of pipes
arranged down the sides of the tank. A
second weak wash is then introduced and
circulation resumed fora short time. The
mass is then again allowed to Subside, the
liquid withdrawn and the residual sludge
run out through the centeral pipe and con-
Quoted to pump. About fifty tons of
slime is an ordinary charge and about 200
of cyanide solution of o.oI per cent strength
are used in the operation. In the, precipi-
tatlon part of the process Mr. Williams has
introduced some improvements on the
we'll known Siemens-Alaska plant. The
boxes are shalloWer than usual. being
thirty feet long, six feet wide and only
four feet deep. Each box has thirteen
longitudinal plates separated by lead
frames, each of the latter carrying sixteen
sheets of lead foil cut into ribbons. This
is found more effective than the original
lead plates or lead shavings. This plant
is to treat tons of shines per month, and it
is expected to increase the monthly profits
by $4,000. AS this is 20 per cent on the
capital of the company it will be seen what
an important matter the successful treat
ment of shines is. In fact, it would make
the margin of profit to good many COM
panies and greatly increase the aggregate
gold yield.--Engineering and Mining Jour-

The Seal Islands

ing the seal islands and treating upon the
leases and profits of sealing, was written
by Lieutenant H. A. Barr, at St. Mchael's
island, for the Eugene Or. Register:
The seal islands are four in number and
are situated about 22o miles northwest OF
Unalasl<a. in the Boring sea. Of a vol
canic formation, void of timber, covered
with small flowers, yelled in heavy fog
and mist during the summer and begirted
with ice in the winter St. Paul, the
largest island, is II miles long by 6 to
WIDE St. George is nearly thirty miles
west, and is a little smaller. between
them lie the Walrus and Otter islands.
There are nearly 400 natives. or Aleuts,
living upon the islands in small "tepees,'
or huts, comprising villages with school
houses and Greek churches, and from the
amount of soap purchased judge they
pride themselves in cleanliness.
The value and Importance of these ISL
ands were not appreciated at the time of
the transfer of the territory from the Rus
sian government in 1867, and in 1868 there
being no protection afforded, seven differ
ant companies enjoyed free sealing. The
next year they were declared govern
ment reserve and guarded by soldiers. In
1870 the islands of St. Paul and St.
George were leased for a period of twenty
wears to the Alaska Commercial Com
panv, of San Francisco, who had previous
ly bought all the buildings, trade and
good will of the Russian. Fur Company,
throughout Alaska. By the terms of their
lease they were privileged to kill one
hundred thousand seals each year, eighty
thousand on the former and twenty thous-
and on the latter, for an annual rent cf
SIS, 900, tax of S2.45 on each Skin taken,
and S cents for each gallon of oil secured.
The leases W ere to provide the natives
with schools and certain medical attention,
furnish fuel, a stipulated amount of ra-
tons and pay them IS cents for each skin
taken. A special treasury agent was sta
toned on the islands each season to pro-
tect the governments interest, and guards
to prevent any killing on Otter or Walrus
islands.
At the expiration of this lease, it has
been said, this company paid into the
treasury very near 100000 900, about ST.
900 less than the country cost the govern
ment. The A. G.. Co. were believed to
have divided 81 900, 900 each year among
its twelve stockholders, and at the same
time holding the lease of the Cormondon.
sky islands from the Russian government.
They virtually controlled the seal skin
market of the world and by having So
other trading posts throughout Alaska,
they monopolized all the land fur also.

their lease. BY their management sailed
seal skins advanced in value from So. 50
and So. in 1868 to $40 and SI8 in 1884 and
$50 in 1890, and in this year a tWentv-year
lease of the same islands was taken by the
North American Commercial Co., of San
Francisco, at an annual rental of 500, 900
and a tax of So.25 on each skin taken, and
at this rate the islands return over 81 1000
900 per year to the government, but

SALISBURY WILL REPORT.
Parliament to BE Fully Informed on
the Venezuelan Question.

LONDON, Jan. 18-Recent state
ments have appeared in the London
papers claiming that the foreign office
was preparing elaborate maps and a
lengthy report on all phases of the
Venezuelan question. In regard to
this statement, high official at the
foreign office states:
We are not preparing any new or special
maps Tor we are satisfied with those now in
use The statement now largely circulated
is made out of whole cloth. While Lord Sal
lsbury has not yet authorized us to an
nounce the fact, we may say that he is pre-
pairing full report of the whole matter
which will undoubtedly be submitted TO par
Lament soon after its assembling on Feb. IN -
When asked about the cable dis
patches, ETC., which the Daily Chron-
icle has been publishing from Wash
lngton, the foreign office official re-
marked:
We are inclined to think that the letters
referred to are copies of certain documents
relating to the matter which was published
IN Paris. some years ago, at the instigatlon
OF the Venezuelan government AS | stated
some time ago, they do not cover the entire
ground, as they seem TO be only extracts
taken at random here and there While they
are undoubtedly authentic, SO far as they go.
they do not have the authenticity of being
accepted by the British government as de-
terminate in the matter"

NOT WHOLLY UNExPECTED.
Senior Palnaa's Views on Change of
Commanders I'm Cuha

Sub9.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-Senor Pal
ma, representative in the United
States of the Cuban revolutionary
party, speaking today of the suppressed
ing of Canpos said:
This action on the part Of the Spanish
government is not wholly unexpected. Gen.
Campos is one Of SPANS most famous COM
manders, and at the beginning of the revolu-
ton he boasted that in few weeks ard at
most, but few months, he would crush out
the rebellion, but now, after eleven months,
he has been obliged to shut himself up in
Havana at the very door of the capitol un-
able to cope with the skill cf the commander
fn-chief of the revolutionists. The Spanish
government thinks that by the substitution
or another general it will meet with better
success. GEN. Campos withdrawal, in my
opinion, is because the officials at Mad
rid considered his treatment of the Cubans
as too humane. They want a policy of more
cruelty pursued, and this they hope to have
the new commander carry q No general,
and nothing short of indepe1 eace can quell
the spirit Of the Cubans Their strength can
not be weakened and 200, 600 men would be
put in the field tomorrow if they could be
armed.
1T seems to me-. and believe it will SO
appear to the American public that the mere
fact OF Spain being compelled to chage gen.
erals at this period of the war should DEM
onstrate the strength of the revoutionists
and hasten the time when the United States
shall recognize us
