1t is wonderful to see the advance
ment made by the cyanide process of
working ores. 1t is yet more wonder
full TO see what a change in the min
/ ing of gold this process of eXtractioG
has made. AS yet this process has
not been tried, to speak of, on the ores
! of Marysvale and of the surrounding
mines. The process was not invented
until 1889. so it has not been applied
| in many places yet. Dur own Mer-
/ cur was known to be ric1 in ores that
were not profitable to work until the
cyanide process was introduced. Utah
will some day TEEN with cyanide mills
I and will produce precious metals in
