Percentage of sulphurets.

\ practical formula for estimating
the perc .ntngc of sulphulciS in quartz
is given in recent catalogue issued by
cisco, as follows: Take 10000 grains
or POS ounces of crushed ore which
will pass through a forty-mesh wire
screen. Wash the ore very carefully
in batea or pan. and rewash rs long as
suiphurrts appear. Dry and weigh.
Each grain of sulplrurcts will equal
oic-hundredih of one per cent. If the
sulphurets weigh 10 grains. the
quartz contains one and ,hree-fourths
per cent. of sulphurets. or if twenty
grains. one-fifih of one per cent. II
the sull,hurcts are worilI 500 per ton,
the value of the sulphurcts in each ton
of ore is S1.T:b, or, IL one-iifth of one per
cent. twenty cents per ION. To test
tnilugs. dry and weigh 10000 grains.
Wash as above. Dry and weigh the
sulphurc's. Each grain will represent
onr-hundredth Of one per cent. and II
loss of one per cent. per ton If the sui
phureis are worth 800 per ton. Thus
it the 10000 grains of tailings yield
three and one-half grains of sulphurcts.
the loss is three and one-half cents per
Ton in sulphurcis. If the sulphurets
are worth $50 per ton. multiply sixty
by three and onc-lIalf. and . cents is
the value of the sulphurets in one ton
of tailings. If they are worth S3I3 per
ton. multiply us above and the value
in each ton of taings is 13.12 cents
rer ton i'm sulphurets.
