THE CYANIDE PROCESS.
Extracts from a Paper Read Be-
fore the Mining Congress.


The following is a portion of the pa
per, entitled ''Some Remarks on the
Cyanide Process, " read at the recent
Mining Congress by Mr.. Louis Fade,
chief chemist and director of the Roes-
sler and Hasdecker Chemical company
of New York:
"When your honorable committee
invited me to read a paper on the cy-
anide process | at first declined, know
ing that there would be present among
the members Of this congress GENTLE
men able to read a much more salts
factory paper on cyaniding than | am
in a position to do. | do not need to
state that for every ore, so to say, a
special process must be worked out,
based on a scientific investigation of the
material to be treated.
1.-THE first question to present itself
is: What gold ores can be successfully
treated by the cyanide process. So
called coarse gold is not acted upon by
cyanide, or, at least, only so very slow
ly that it is not practical to apply the
cyanide process to ores which contain
the gold in coarse condition. Expert
ments and experience gained have
shown that the precious metal can be
successfully extracted by q of cy-
anide from low-grade ores In which the
gold ccurs in a very finely divided,
free oil metallic state, and l believe l
am safe to state that in nearly all gold
bearing ores the gold exists in a very
free and not in a combined state. BY
this, however, | do not want to say
that every low-grade ore In which the
gold occurs in a very finely divided
state a be treated by cyanide with
success. but, with very few exceptions,
ores Of this nature can be treated.
''The selective action of a dilute cy-
anide solution on gold ores in preference
to the sulphides OF base metals with
which they may be associated, is so
wonderful that, from a chemical view,
we may say, it is possible to extract the
gold from all low-grade ores by means
OF cyanide, with the exception of ores
containing copper, zinc and anthony
combinations. In these cases the treat
ment becomes difficult, II not impossible.
1t is rather unfortunate that cyanide
has this selective action. o or less,
on ores containing the above mentioned
metals. II this was not the case, we
would say that this excellent process.
with which the names Of Messrs. Mac
Arthur and Forrest are so closely con-
nected and to which gentlemen the
whole mining industry of the world Is
indebted for having first introduced
this process. could, from q chemical
standpoint, be applied successfully to
all classes of low-grade gold ores.

We have witnessed transformation scenes; we have red Of TIN oil Roman

believe that the finer the ore is crushed
the better is it for teaching purposes;
but this is very often a wrong conclu-
sion. 1t may be all right for very hard,
silicious ore, but not for an ore con
tanning, for instance, alumina and mag
nesia, which are apt to form shines when
coming in contact with the cyanide So
luton, and these shines render the ore
impenetrable to any solution and there
fore, make good extraction impossible.
ITO give a very good example in or
der to show how important this ques
ton of crushing the ore to its proper
size for teaching purposes with cyanide
solution is, | need only refer to what
occurred some years ago at the now
world -renowned Mercur mine, not very
many miles away from here. At that
time, six to seven years ago, the form
err managers of this mine and cyanide
extraction plant, which, by the way,
was the very first plant for treating ore
in this country by the o-called cyanide
process, we're advised to grind the ore
to a size of about 600 mesh in order to
attained the highest possible extraction.
The result was an extraction of only
about 40 per cent of the assay value of
the ore. This, for some time, proved
quite a puzzle and was of great trouble
to the managers.
AFTER many and not very successful
experiments had been gone through, it
was decided not to crush the ore so
fine on account of the porus nature of
the ore and Its considerable percentage
of tale and alhmina, which later, Of
course, rendered the ore rather inpene-
trable for the cyanide solution. The
results were that the coarser the ore
is crushed the higher the extraction
became, and to-day, while the ore is
crushed only to the size OF about a
quarter of an inch square, one Of the
highest extractions known, about 81
per cent of the assay value Of The ore,

SILVER PARTY CENTRAL COM
MITTEE.
Business Transacted at Reno last
Saturday

The Journal says there was a large
attendance and much interest manifest
ed at the meeting of the Silver party
State Central Committee at Reno last
Saturday.
Owing to the absence of Chairman
Powning, Major Huffaker was chosen
temporary Chairman.
1t was decided on motion that in case
of an absent member, a member of the
same delegation would be permitted
to cast the vote of the absentee. r.
Sadler moved that the date of the
State Convention be fixed for Septem-
Der Sth, 1898.
MI. Finnegan moved to amend by
substituting the 18th of September in
stead of the Sth. Lost.
The original motion was then adopt
ed.
The place of meeting was the next
matter for consideration. Reno, Car
son, Virginia and Winnemucca we're all
proposed, when Mr. Nixon moved that
the roll be called and the town receiving
the majority of the vote cast, be chosen
as the place for the meeting of the con-
vention. This was agreed to. The roll
was called and the first ballot resulted
as follows: Reno %, Virginia II, Win
emucca I, Carson 6. There being no
choice, five of Winnemucca's votes
changed to Reno and four of Carson's
to Virginia. Reno thus received a ma
iority of all the votes cast and was de-
clared the location for the convention.
The appointment of delegates to the
State convention was made on the basis
of one delegate for every so votes ana
every fraction over 25 votes cast for
B. +. Leete for Presidential Elector at
the last Congressional election, provid-
ing an aggregate of 1876 delegates appor-
toned as follows:
Churchill 3, Douglas 4, Elko 10, Es-
meralda 8, Eureka IL, Humboldt Ia,
Lander 10, Lincoln l6. Lyon 9. Nye 4,
Ormsby IL, Storey 81, Washoe 20,
White Pine 8. Total 1855.
The primaries we're ordered to he
held on the goth of August, 1898, In
the various precincts throughout the
State. The following test was unani-
mously adopted:
II am in favor of the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at the ratio of IS
to by the United States, independent
OF any other nation, and | will support
the nominees of the Silver Party"
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That this committee direct
the County Central Committees of the
Silver Party in the several counties of
the State to call primary elections at
the time designated by this committee
and to district counties, apportion dele
gates to the State Convention among
the districts OF the respective counties
and to supervise the election of such
delegates and fill vacancies.
Also in counties having no regular
organized County Central Committee,
we recommend that members OF the
State Central Committee in such coun-
ties be and are hereby authorized to
ell primary elections and supervise the
election Of such delegates.
No other business appearing, the
meeting adjourned.

The funeral of Robert McEwan, the
well known retired citizen of Whippany,
was held in the Presbyterian church at
that place yesterday. The services were
conducted by the Rev l. A. White.
Mr.. McEwan's death which occurred
on Monday, was very sudden and was
caused by fatty degeneration of the
heart. He was i'll but ten minutes.
The deceased was sixtysnine years old
and leaves a widow and eight children,
seven of whom are sons. For several
years he has lived retired. He was an
expert paper maker and for many years
than him there was no manufacturer
better known to the trade. He started
mills in several places and removed to
Whippany about ten years ago. His
sons conduct the paper mills at that place
now.
