NEW CYANIDE PROCESS
A Con binati0n of Cyanide$
 Expedites Operation.

The following is from the Mining aud Scientific Frees, San Francisco:
 "Dr. Keith, formerly o: this city, now of London, claims to have in vented 6 cyanide prccess in which in the dissolving process he adds to the solution of potassium cyanide . cer- tain quantity of cyanide of mercury. lie states that he fin6s the best re- sulss obtained when the solvent con- ,ains O.O5 per cont of potassium cyanide and 0.025 per cent of cyanide of mercury. This mixture of cyanides, he claims, operates faster than the simple potassium cyanide. The pro- cess for the recovery of the gold from the solution is an elec;rolytic enc. The gold and the mercury are depes- ited together upon smslganstsd oop- rsrplstes. The smalgsm SO deposited is scrsped of ard the gold recovered by distilling of the mercury in the usual way. The snods is not allowed to dip in the cyanide solution, but is plse ,d in separate compartment and surrounded with . solution of an aka line salt, so that the cyanide does not become decomposed. The electro motive force of the current need not be more than hall welt, and the cur rent density on the depositing surface may be as low AS i6 ampere per esuare fsot."
