FORESIGHT IN MINING.
The Mining and Scientific Press Urges
the Need of 1t,

the Need OF 1t.
From the Mining and Scientific Press.
This Is an age of progress, and part1c-
ularly is it noticeable in the metallurgi-
cal field. The innovations in mining
methods are more rare, for miners as a
class are conservative-often too much
so. The methods employed a century
yes, several centuries-ago are in many
places still in use, and in certain instances
these methods are good enough, but in
others there is room for improvement
The introduction of a higher class of ma
chnery is noticeable feature, particu-
larly in the newer mining regions. First
class machinery insures larger capacity
and this means economy. No one will
dispute the statement that an engine
capable of hosting 1000 tons of ore in "A
hours is a more economical investment
than one which will raise but 200 tons, If
the ore Is there to hoist. There Is little
| use in putting a large, frst-class plant
on prospect or on a mine in which de-
velopment cannot be made which will
permit the stopping of an amount of ore
somewhere near the capicity of the hoist
Nor is it worth while to put in a hosting
| engine which can develop a speed of 1000
| feet per minute or more when the shaft
| will not admit of a greater speed than
200 feet. For rapid hosting the shaft
must be in first-class condition and true
| throughout. A change in the angle of
| the shaft neceSStateS slowing down when
the cage or skip passes that point. These
facts demonstrate the necessity of sink
ing the best shafts possible, whether they
be large or small, and also the need of
opening mine SO thoroughly that there
shall always be an abundance of ore
available, that hoists and mills may work
to their fullest capacity.
1t is much more economical and profit
able to open and work mine out in few
years than to continue at it for half a
century or more. This idea cannot be
followed out unless the work of deVel-
opment be persistently carried far ahead
| of the extraction of the ore. The plan
| requires capital and owners are often I'M
| willing to invest such large sums when
sired result. Haste to secure dividends
| is the great incentive, and when the mine
| Is profitable on a comparatively small
| basis it can usually be made much more
| so on broader plan of operation If mine
| owners and operators would expend some
| of their first dividends in putting the
| mine in shape for large production they
! would find it far more profitable than
| to work in the small hand-tomouth fash
ion so commonly seen. An inexpensive
| plant may be employed in prospecting
| the, mine and may even pay a profit, but
| if exploration can be carried on more rap
| idly than the exploiting of a mine, a time
| will be reached sooner or later when q
larger and more complete plant will be
| justified.

Pyritic SHELTERS.
Pyrttic Sme!ters.
From the Mining and Metallurgical Jour

From the Mining and Metallurgical Jour
nal.
The interest taken in the erection of py-
ritic smelters in different parts of the
state of Colorado has caused some mis-
apprehension in regard to the scope of
this class of smelters, many people be-
lieving that they will in a measure, take
the place of the regular smelters. and
thus relieve the situation brought about
by the strike.
A pyritic smelter does not handle the
same class of ores that are sought for by
the lead and copper plants and therefore
does not have any influence upon the
present conditions. The effect of the sue
cess of a pyrtic smelter in any locality IS
in favor of the big smelling companies.
as the product is desirable, and must be
| smelted over again for the extraction of
values. The pyritic smelters simply eff
feet fire concentration, eliminating the
silica and base material of all kinds. and
producing the metallic contents of the
ore, iron, copper, silver, etc, in the shape
of an iron or copper matte. This matte is
sold to the smelters and is eagerly sought
for by them. as containing little more
than the metallic ingredients of the ore
it is Its own fiuX and easily handled.
The advantages of a pyritic smelter are
that it can be cheaply operated the sui
phur carried in the pyrites serving as fuel
and greatly reducing the quantity of coal
necessary; that it can be built anywhere,
the nearer the ore the better, thus obviat-
ing the expense Of transportation to a
| great extent; that it can be constructed at
a comparatively light cost and that it
| can treat ore at a profit, reducing it to
| matte which does not carry sufficient
| values to stand the cost of transportation
| and regular treatment charges. The
matte produced generally carries high
values and Is treated at merely nominal
| price by the smelters, the heavy excess
| Of iron making it extremely desirable for
mixing with ores having less percent
| age of iron.
So far from affecting the smelters ad-
versely, the pyritic furnaces will! increase
the production Of ore and the business OF
| the regular smelters, and their construc-
| ton in large numbers in this state will be
hailed with pleasure by the smelling COM
| panies
