TREATING oxIDIzED COPPER.
A Bingham Man Makes an Important
Discovery.

A series of teaching experiments
made during the past month by II. G.
Bowdich, says the Bingham Bulletin,
have been attended by what appears
TO be important results, and we are in
clined to believe he has demonstrated
certain facts in the treatment of low
grade copper ores which viii soon be
attracting widespread attention
At his residence in Upper Bingham
Mr.. BoW0ich has rugged up a miniature
teaching tank, and last Tuesday a Bull
ie1in reporter called to see It in opera
ton 1t had been charged with 200
pounds of dirt Scraped from the sur
face of the ANS Well copper claim
The stuff was first assayed by Cowan
and found to contain about 41a per cent
copper though the dry samples We saw
bore no more indications of mineral
than so much clay. In a precipitating
vessel loaded With scrap iron, under
the tank, were several pounds of cop
per, which had also been asseyed. and
the certificate showed 1T to be sc per
cent pure. The run was not fully com
pleted, but evidently a pound in
got VIII be obtained from the 200
pounds Of ore.
Mr. BoWdich seems to have accident
ally discovered a new combination Of
chemicals, else he is utilizing an old
and disused one, the most expensive in
gredient Of which is common salt, with
oxidiZed copper ore for an Incredibly
small sum. Thus the cost of teaching
the 200 pounds was 121z cents, though
the fluid agent after precipitation can
be used over and over again by simply
adding to it. Mr.. Bow dich claims it is
SO powerful and searching that il viii
readily dissolve and leach dirt as coarse
as fine gravel, barring base matter.
and that TO prepare ore for the tank
Il is only necessary TO run it through
rolls. He concludes that if a plant ca
pable Of treating SO tons per day were
operated. the extreme expense need not
exceed IS cents per ton.
While examining ground in various
places MIR. Bowdich discovered that
the clay existing in large quantities
along the creek below the main CANYON
copper springs IS highly impregnated
and viii yield richly under the new
treatment The vein on which the Ans
Well is located presents a surface 43
feet wide of oxide ore, from which
many thousands Of tons may be taken
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-09-19

by open cuts Also, tho surface dirt
and rock below the vein down 70 creek
level is all impregnated, and any that
will yield 2 per cent can be made to
pay when handled in large quantities.
While long way from being a luna
tic. Mr. Bowdich is worked up to a
high pitch Of enthusiasm over what he
believes is discovery compared with
which, because of its simplicity and
cheapness. the modern application of
cyanide will take second place in rela-
tive Importance. He has lately made
additions and changes, and so far per
fected the solution that he now pro-
poses TO put it in practical use, and
20 or 50-ton plant will be built this fall
An all-important consideration is that
a 100 plant can be put in at an ex-
pense of not to exceed $1,000.
Mr.. Bowdich returned yesterday
from the, city, where he showed the
result of his experiments to several
prominent parties The effect was to
excite a lively interest.

PROMPT Reform of Bodily Evils.

The prompt reform of those bodily
evils, enfeebled digestion. incomplete
assimilation, inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and bladder, as well as of the
nervous symptoms which these ailments
are especial prone to beget, is always
accomplished by the use of Hostetter S
Stomach Bitters, a medicine accredited
by physicians, pronounced pure by ana
lysis, and eminently wholesome and
agreeable. Surely such a restorative is
preferable to unpalatable and indigest-
ible mineral drugs and unsanctioned
nostrums. The nation at large assur-
eddy thinks so. judging by the unprece-
denied demand for the article from
Maine to the Pacific, a demand now
supplemented by immense orders for it
received from tropical America, Mex
leo, the British and Spanish Colonial
possessions, and elsewhere. Both at
home and abroad it is recognized as a
standard remedy and preventative, the
decisiveness of its effects recommending
it everywhere.

THE BOARD OF PARDONS,
J. A. REID AND S. M. BUTCHER
ARE GIVEN THEIR LIBERTY.
Postponement in the Case of Frank
De Camp, the Train Wrecker-Three
Petitions Denied.

The state board of pardons, at their
regular monthly meeting yesterday.
took favorable action on two petitions
for freedom, postponed consideration of
four applications and denied pardons to
three others Final consideration of
the petitions of James A. Reid and S.
NJ Butcher, which were held over
from the previous session, resulted in
both securing pardOns..
Reid was serving a sentence of seven
years in the state prison on convic-
ton of assault with intent to murder
Charles A. Mitchell, whom he held up
and attempted to rob in this city in
a shot in the cheek and when Reid was
arrested, Mitchell identified him as his
assailant. The evidence presented to
the board tended to show that the
identification was not positive, and
further that Reid was at the Grand
theatre at the time the assault was
committed. In consideration of this
showing and also that Reid had never
before been in trouble. the board voted
to grant his application for pardon.

the second degree, has an application

BIG COLORADO DISCOVERY.
Great Body of Gold Ore Found Near
Telluride.

Telluride.
A special from Telluride, Colo, says:
The greatest strike that has probaly
ever been recorded in the Ophir district
was made the latter part of last week
within 200 yards of the Suffolk 40-stamp
mill. 1t was made on q property To-
Gated at the mouth of Waterfall gulch.
owned by A T Hathaway, the well
known mining promoter; W. Grigsby,
V. P. Yeager and Ed Van Endert An
immense porphyry blowout extends
along the base of Silver mountain for
a mile below and three miles above the
town of Ophir. and it is where Water
fan canyon cuts through the blowout
that the ore was taken which yielded
startling results in consideration of the
enormous quantities of mineral of the
same character there in the blowout
from whence the mill run was taken. A
Potion lot was treated at the Suffolk
mill last. week, and it ran $50 in gold
per ton on the plates. Immediately
after ascertaining the result Mr.. Grigs-
by and his partners staked nine more
claims on the blowout, and they now
have the best part of it located. There
are numerous streaks of iron pyrites,
more or less oxidized running through
the blowout, which pan high and assay
from $25 to S65 per ton in gold. Those
who have seen the property say the ore
is so easily mined that it can be SHOW
eled from its resting place into sacks
or wagons and conveyed down to the
mill for so cents a ton. a force of about
Is men are now at work taking out ore,
which is being packed down to the
Suffolk mill for treatment. The people
Of Ophir are considerably excited over
the discovery of paying gold values in
this huge body of porphyry and should
the product continue to run as we'll as
the first lot. one of the largest and most
important discoveries in the history OF
San Miguel county has doubtless been
made.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 80.
In an address reviewing the recent
national general assembly at Louis
vile, the executive board of the
Knight of Labor declares that the
order has largely increased in member
ship during the past year, that it is in
better condition than ever before. that
it is slive to the great struggle of the
century, and that it will hold its own
in leading the advance column Of
economic reform and holding the light
for the labor world. These decIa-a-
tions are regarded as omething in the
nature of defiance to the American
Federation of Labor which holds it's
matte nal convention at Nashville esrly
next month, and the executive officers
of which were recently received in
audience by President Mckinley in
order that they might bring to the
attention of the chief executive various
questions affecting labor upon which
they desired him to treat in his mes
sage to congress.

Good Work of the New Consul.

Leonardo Pacheco, an American
citizen who has been confined in the
Juarez Jail for the past Is months, was
released yesterday. Pacheco is a ma
tive of New Mexico and was arrested
while on visit to Juarez charged with
aiding in conspiracy and an attack
on the Mexican custom house at Palo-
mas just over the Mexican line. Moth
ing was done to bring him to trial
though he asserted his innocence re-
peatedly. Two weeks ago when the
new American consul. Hon. Charles
w. Kindrick, assumed charge of the
consulate at Juarez he took up Pache-
co.'s case Immediately. Yesterday the
prisoner was .eiven his liberty, the
charges against him not being strong
enough to convict.
