 It is well established fact that copper held in solution in water can be easily obtained by using iron as a precipitant, but as the precipitant of copper in solution with iron, IS comparatively slow. and in many | instances costly, a more active and less expensive precipitant was much in demand. But Thomas Wren, late | of Eureka, but now of Reno, Ne | vada, seems to have solved this problem beyond a doubt. Mir. Wren has made the question a study, and, after repeated and numerous expert ments with different substances, has discovered that copper in solution in water can be readily thrown with alkili. Alkili will precipitate the copper at once, while iron re- quires from twenty-four hours to several months-depending on the amount of iron used.-Ex.

White thinks the company will furnish some in- teresting reports from the Ardath in short time.
