GOLD AND SILVER.
How the Precious Metals Are Obtained
from the ore.


from the ore.
| visited huge smcltcrv not lory
ago, and saw how gold and silver were
separated from their ores. The lead o,,..
or galcna, which contains also gold
silver and copper, is brought from
Utah. The average yield of silver OF
the ore used here is about 100 ounces
TO the ton. The amount of gold and sill
yer in the ore is determined in the us.
saying-room in this manner:
\ piece of the ver-bearing lead is
carefully weighed in "A very delicate
balance, and is then placed in little
cup OF bone ash. called n cupel. Then
the cupel is put into Il very hot furnace
so arranged that current of air passes
over il. The air oNidizes the melted
base metals, but the gold ard silver are
not affected. The cupel has the re-
markable power OF absorbing the
oxides of metal. and so in an hour or
so there is nothing left i'm it save IA little
bead of silver and gold. This bead
is then weighed, and in this way IL is
known what proportion of gold and
silver there is in the ore.
To extract the metals, the ore Is
mixed with limestone and coal. and js
thrown into n blast furnace, which re-
sembles I'm inverted cone. A fire is
started in the bottom and blast of air
is forced through the pipes into the
furnace. When the ruetal has been
melted from the ore the furnace is
tapped at the bottom, and the metal,
consisting OF gold, silver, copper and
lead, runs out into large pots. II is
then run into moulds. This metal is
called bullion"
The next process Is 10 separate tho
lead from the other metals. The bull
lion is melted in "A large deep basin and
melted zinc is added. The zinc forms
an alloy with the gold. silver and cop.
per, which is lighter than the lead. and
therefore floats on the surface. Then
this alloy is SKINNED of and taken to
another part of the works, where it is
placed in furnaces and the zinc burned
out. After all the zinc has been gotten
rid of the metal is taken TO a large
room which contains row OF small
furnaces. Inside OF these furnaces arc
shallow cupcls over which current
&! air passes. AFTER the metal has been
melted IN thcsc cupels il is run ont into
r.olds, which shape the metal imio
plates about - inches long and ten in
width.
The metal e these plates consists of
gold and silver, which still have TO he
separated. The plates are hung in
gauze bags and put in strong nitric
acid. This o.:id dissolves the silver. but
docs not affect the gold. which drops
down into tie bags aud is caught there
Abcut tire" inches distant from the
sack containing the gold and silver
plate is q very hin plate OF silver. This
plate and the one in the sack are con
nected to Il dynamo The current Of
electricity causes the dissolved silver ~
deposit itself on the plate. After all
the silver has been collected IL is cast
into blocks weighing 900 ounces each.
The gold is Likewise cast into blocks.
! saw about 100000 worth OF silver in
the vaults and in the works. There arc
other methods OF separating these
metals. but ! think this is the most CON.
mon way. Some ores are more easily
worked than others lIarpcr's Round

COAL AND IRON COMPETITION,
"Tarin Reform" Admits Foreign Products
Against Our Mines.

Against Our Mines.
The Dominion Coal company. of Can
ada, for whose welfare and prosperity
both the president and the free traders
were so solicitous when passing their
reform" tariff bill in 1894. has been
rather cautious in attempting to can
ture our markets since the duty on coal
was lowered. Now. however, they have
made a beginning. The Fall River
Daily Herald, January 81. noted the ar
rival of n foreign steamer from Louis
burg, Cape Breton island. with q
cargo of soft coal" adding:
THE 'Bratten' is the first steamer
that has run TO this port with coal since
away back in the forties and her cargo
of foreign coal is the first TO come in
here for ten years. The coal was
shipped by the Dominion Coal com
pany, of Boston, who intend to nut
this coal on the market. The Dominion
Coal company was organized three
years ago by Henry NJ. Whitney. of
Boston. The corporation has purchased
mines in the Cape Breton island and
claims the quality of the coal TO be
Tar superior 10 that found in Nova SEQ
tia The coal will be put on the local
market cheaper than other coal of the
same grade"
This will be interesting news TO ON.
friends in the south, notably to those
in West Virginia who once were de-
luded voting for Prof. Wilson. Every
ton of this coal that comes from her
British maiesty's dominion will sup

markets nffnr1S
miners. At the same time il depriveS
American miners of n similar amount
of work. Each fire or furnace that
burns ton of this coal shuts off the
demand for n ton of American coal.
Half century has elapsed since a
foreign steamship. laden with foreign
coal, has entered Fall River The coal
ls said to he of good quality, in fact
far superior to that found in Nova SEQ
tia. So much the worse for American
mines. The better the quality. and
the more cheaply it can be mined. so
much the harder upon our people We
trust that this object lesson" will not
be lost upon West Virginia. nor upon
kentucky and Maryland, two southern
states that have acknowledged the wis
dom of n protective policy; nor upon
those other southern states that do
need protection, but which have not
yet acknowledged II.
The free trade experience of the
sheep farmers will be felt, though to a
less degree, by the miners both of coal
and iron. Their experience, however.
will not be so DISASTROUS, because the
democrats were checked in their efforts
to give us absolute free trade in coal
and in iron ore, succeeding only in
lowering the tariff on these two arti-
'cles. The results, so far as coal is cor
cerned, we have shown. OF foreign
iron ore we imported no less than 524.-
153 tons last year, an increase of 355.-
G12 tons over the imports OF 1894. Last
year we sent abroad S7s6, 2O7 10 pay for
foreign iron ore. and 81. 1897. 07s to pay
for foreign pig iron. nearly 81 100000
more than i'm 1894. This is not good
news for the workers in our iron mines,
though il is but touch" Of free trade.
