 It is possible that in most partially oxidized pyretic ores and tailings the ferrous and ferric sulphates ex- i ist together, and in this case the de- composition of the cyanide would result in the production of ferrous cyanide and potassium sulphate. In the case of earthly pyritec ores the weathering or oxidation of the met allie sulphides would result i'll the production of sulphate of magnesia, lime or alumina.
 All the iron salts and earthy sul- phates can berendered inocuous by the application of an alkali before treating with the cyanide. By this treatment all the soluble iron salts are precipitated as ferrous hy- drate, which rapidly oxidizes the ferric hydrate while the basic ores soon oxidize in the presence of the alkali.
 When the tailings contain free acid only alkali and cyanide may be applied together. The sulphide, oxide and carbonate ores of copper and the sulphide of antimony are acted on by potassium cyanide both in weak and strong solutions; and thereby cause a loss of cyanide ill proportion of their amount present in the ore. OPS per cent of copper will cause the consumption of cyan ide to be doubled It is during the treatment of cupriferous ores where a weak solution of cyanide is most apparent. An ore may contain sui hcient copper to decompose a one per cent solution of cyanide and give a low extraction of gold, whereas a five per cent solution would dissolve proportionately less copper and give fairly satisfactory extraction oi gold. Antimonite if grey sesqui- sulphide of antimony is present the large consumption of cyanide ends it in failure. Stibnite (sulphide of antimony) forms that most objec- tionabie salt, suiphide of potassium. Galena (sulphide of lead) is slowly attacked by cyanide, and as all the sulphur combines with the cyano- gen it forms the harmless compound sulpho-cynogen. Zinc blende is hardly affected by any strength Iron pyrites (bi-sulphide of from is almost unaffected by cyanide so- ton. Alkaline sulphide will sul- phurize the gold and silver, and the sulphide film covering the metal will greatly retard the dissolution of the gold and silver. Where gold exists in the form of amalgam iu the tailings the cyanide has to dis solve first the quicksilver and then the gold, consequently the consump- ton of cyanide is doubled. Char coal acts on cyanide and should be picked out of the ore.
 The McArthur- Forest system pre- cipitates with a soluble lead salt the sulphur that enters the cyanide.
 The problem for the chemist at the cyanide works is to find a prac- tical method whereby all the sulphur of antimony and cuperous sulnhides can be made to combine with the cyanogen rather than with the po- tassium cyanide.
 As shown so far the ordinary cy- anide process is not a universal re- solvent for all classes of ores, but any ore which can be successfully treated by the foregoing process can be more advantageously treated by

gold in forming double cyanide of gold and potassium The gold in the solution is precipltated and ex- tracted through zinc shavings and obtained in the form of a metalloid (earthy alkali). The maximum rate of extraction of free gold is done with with a cyanide solution of OPS per cent the strength of which va ries according to the character of the mineral constituents of the ore and to he determined by labratory experiments. A weak solution is always more active than a strong one for the reason that the rate of dissolution ofthe gold depends upon the number of cyanide molecules in a unit volume and that the solubil- ity of oxygen in cyanide solution decreases with concentration. A weak cyanide solution has very selective action for gold and silver in the presence of copper and anti mony. Four to five pounds of cy- anide should dissolve one hundred ounces of gold according to labratory tests, but 1t often takes more when unexpected combinations in the presence of mineral acids, base met als are formed which can be solved by the chemist only by patient re- search in the labratory and working plants
 Loss of cyanide is due to several causes-absorption in new tanks, decomposition by atmospheric car bonic dioxide, mineral acids and salts, presence of ores soluble in cy- anide when gold exists in amalgam, presence of charcoal and by dilution in wadring For the first month new plants will absorb about one pound to the ton. The carbonic acid gas of the atmosphere decomposes potas- sium cyanide with the formation of potassium carbonate and the iibera- ton of hydrocyanic acid The hy- drocyanic (prussic) acid thus liber- ated would be neutralized by a caus- tic alkali present in the cyanide so- luton.
 Gold and silver quartz associated with iron pyrites, copper pyrites, zinc blende, galena and antimonite, or tailings from concentrates should be treated with as little delay as pos siole and never be subjected to at mospherical forces because the at mospheric oxidation of iron pyrites results in the production of free sul- phuric acid and ferrous sulphate This ferrous sulphatc may in turn be decomposed by the action of the air into insoluble basic sulphates. Thus partially oxidized pyretic ores or tailings may contain free sulphur ic acid, soluble ferrous sulphate, in- soluble basic sulphate, and, proba- bly,, also, traces of other basic salts ol complex and variable compost ton, all of which react upon solu- uons of potassium cyanide, thereby causing a loss of cyanogen which IS often so great that it renders the material unfit for treatment unless the compositions formed can be re- moved by preliminary washing or. the acid neutralized by cheap caus- tIc alkali-lime or soda. Normal ierric sulphate is insoluble in water and cannot be removed by ordinary Water washing. 1t reacts with po-

FIRE AND POLICE BOARD.
A COMMUNICATION RECEIVED
FROM MUNICIPAL LEAGUE.
H. W. Lawrence Declined the Presi-
dency For Personal Reasons and
Referred the Boards Invitation
to the Secretary-Routine Bust
ness.

Only one ember of the fires which
heated the fire and police commission
one week ago emitted a spark at the
session of the board last evening. 1t
was embodied in a response from H.
to an invitation requesting the pres
ence of the league representatives at
last nights meeting.
In the communication Mr.. Lawrence
informed the board that he had been
offered the presidency of the league,
but had refused it for personal reasons;
therefore he was not in position to
consider the invitation, but had turned
the boards letter over TO Joseph S.
Caldwell, the secretary. Mr.. Caldwell
FASTENED to apprise the commission
that the trustees of the league had only
been elected at its last meeting, March
%, when an adjournment was taken
until April s. so that until that date no
definite action could be had on the
proposal to come again in contact with
the worthless of the commission. The
whole matter was laid over to await
further advice from the trustees.
The board of examiners for the police
and fire departments reported that it

port was filed.
At Commissioner Grants suggestion
the several medical bills for services
during the Scott-Auerbach
fire were returned to the council for
another examination and the recon-
nendation that they be settled.
Instructions went out that all NOR
ohine bills for the ,scity Jail must be |
-educed and that all other medical |
bills must hereafter be referred to the |
commission. Sundry bills were ap-
proved to the extent of 1927. The fire I
expense bills for the /
month, 5000, and those of the police
department. for 1856 were allowed.

A general meeting of the stockholders
of Z. c. NJ. I. was held yesterday after
noon at the offices of the institution in
this city. Out of a possible 1910 shares
of stock $500 shares were represented.
In the absence of President Woodruff and
Nice-President Moses Thatcher. Hon.
George Q. Cannon was called upon to
preside.
Secretary Weber read the annual re-
port of the president which showed the
institution, Notwithstanding the hard
times. to have done a very satisfactory
business during the year. exceeding that
of the previous year, and its affairs were
in an even better condition than for some
years past.
The amount of outstanding debts due
the institution had been lessened, and
other reductions had been made in the
values of machinery and other items liza
bic to wear and tear. With the excep-
ton of the branch at Provo the institu-
tons branches have not made a very
satisfactory showing. This could be ac-
counted for owing to the stringency of
TIE times and the fact that they were
carrying larger stocks than was abso-
lutelv necessary.
The sales for the year have aggregated
81. co.. 1861 .5Eabout quarter of a million
more than for the previous year. There
had been paid to the express and rail-
road companies for freight s173 374 43. The

s., 769 910.S6. After making all allowances,
a net profit for the year was left of SILL
l35. IA. Eighty-siX thousand one hundred
and sixty dollars of this was set aside to
pay the coming years dividend of per
cent.
The dividend of per cent for the half
year, declared on March Is last, is pay
able on the 18th of the present month.
In closing his report. the president
stated that all must have realized the
great difficulties experienced during the
past two or three years in conducting all
kinds of business. 1t was therefore very
gratifying 10 the president and no doubt
would be to the stockholders. to know
that so large and diversified business
had been attended with so large a meas
ire of success.
Officers and directors for the ensuing
year were elected. the only change being
hat George g. Cannon was elected vice

IOWA'S TRIAL.
Preliminary to the Big Spin to Be
Taken Tomorrow.

Boston, April 5.-The battleship Iowa
was given preliminary run today over
the Cape Ann course. where she will
have her final trial spin on Wednesday,
The trial as far as it went was thor
oughly successful.
The iowa was sent over the first half
of the course after she had done some
'Jockeying' to warm up her engines
She accomplished the 80 miles in the
remarkably good time of 1 hour and
so minutes and p seconds, or at the
rate of 17.16 knots an hour
The conditions under which this was
accomplished were not most favorable
for while the sea was as smooth as
could be wished. the wind was directly
the worst direction it could
blow from TO insure a good draught.
After the first leg of the return Jour-
ney had been covered at a rafting
pace, the vessel ran into a dense fog
bank and speed had to be reduced.
