Denver, Black Hawk and Central City,
Colo, looking after business interests.
At Denver he found great interest be-
ing taken in three plants which are
being built for the purpose of reduc-
ing low grade gold-bearing ore. They
are known as the Moffit, the Beam and
the Greenwald process, each differing
from the other, but each being alike
in that the principle is the roasting of
the ore. These men are each very
confident that they have at length
discovered the process, not only of re-
ducing low grade ore, but also of saw
ing the silver and copper which may
be in combination with the gold. In
Chicago there is firm known as the
Long -Carskadden Co. which is aiming
at the same result by an altogether
different process, the use OF
chlorine and electricity. There
can be no doubt that fortune
awaits the man who shall success
fully accomplish this end, as there are
great quantities of goldbearing ore
which it does not at present pay to re-
dnce by any known process. 1t is in
