Treating Low Grade Ores.

a new process for treating ores
has been successfully tested in Colo
RADIO.
The process is similar to the cya-
nide, but possesses many vastly sup
eriOr points. The process is known
Us SThe Non Roasting Metal Extrac-
ton Process" and is all that it's
name signifies All the metais ure
extracted by the ore solution, and the
ore is never roasted, simply crushed.
The pulp is put into watts and the
most refractory ore yet tested re-
quires only an hour and fifteen min
utes to extract all metal from the
pulp. Some ore requires only thirty
minutes. while the average is about
forty-fve minutes. Not only gold Is
thus taken from the ore, but silver
copper; anthony and sulphur.
The presence Of iron and copper
does not hinder the extraction of gold
as IL the case with the cyanide pro.
cess, viii chwill not successfully treat
ore Tint contains more than 3 or 4 Der
cen or iron "r copper. Another
point IL that cyanide frequently re.
quires twelve or fifteen hours TO

used is six times stronger than Gym.
