MAYS GOLD EXTRACTION PROCESS.
London Mining Journal: From the
explanation of the process given by the
officials of the company, it appears that
the ore, after being crushed, is exposed
to the action of solution of caustic al
kalis or alkaline carbonates, used either
separately or mixed ontained in special
ly designed watts, the solution being heat
ed by waste steam, and is kept in state
of agitation, which is effected either by
the rotation or the internal mechanical
arrangement of the watts. The period re-
quired for treatment is said to be from
one to three hours, according to the re.
the extraction of the total gold contents
from refractory ores is facilitated. and a
large proportion of the precious metal,
which would otherwise be irrecoverabe,
is saved. The ores, shines. etc, after be-
ing subjected to the action of the chem
lcaIs, are then ready for amalgamation
and are run OF in the amalgamator into
the settler The amalgam is collected at
intervals and passed through the clean
up pan, and is then ready for retorting
and separation of the metal in the ordin-
airy manner, the res;dues passing into a
pit. 1t is claimed that the entire process
is continuous, the time required being
but from eight to ten hours from the
first operation to the extraction of the
gold and silver. It was stated that the
average cost is only IS. Cd. per ton of ore
treated.

How to Find "a ProsDeet.

The following written by an old pros
pector, is taken from the San Francisco
Mining and Semitic Press:
First Remember that the gold ip the
surrounding surface is the only guide
to pocket
Second.-Never dig a hole on n quartz
ledge with the expectation of finding a
pocket unless it will prospect at the
start.
Third When tracing for a pocket, if
the gold is smooth, leave it at once, for
it's ten to one you will never find it.
Fourth. If your trace runs to deep
bed of clay, don't lose much time in look.
ing for pocket.
Fifth Beware of serpentine traces.
Most all will prospect and not pocket.
Sixth.-Remember fifteen or twenty
colors OF gold as fine as flour to the pan,
and an occasional coarse color as big as
pin head, is better trace to a pocket
than single piece worth 81, even il it
is rough.
Seventh.-The best place to look for
pocketsir.ip coarse gold district. The
pocketsterc larger aud easily found
Eight Recollect that nine out OF ten
pocket lodges do not crop out near the
pocket.
Tracing ng-Commence by panning the
top of the ground. 1t will prospect

the pocket or on fiat ground. Then 90
deeper, even to bedrock. fon descend
ing ground, face up hill, pannine to right
and left as far as you can get gold, and
where you get the best prospect; move
up the hill from that point, panning
from right to left as before, and move
up on the best prospects. Keep this up
until You get above the prospects,: then
go back to where you got the last best
prospect, dig hole half way to bed rock
and the last prospects best, rest assured
that you are near the pocket. From
there trench up, and ifyou don't find the
ledge and the prospects give out, trench
across, and you will be certain to find
the ledge; il you do not find the pocket
trench both ways along the edge, PAM

to find it, unless it has been distributed
over the ground you have traced by the
rocks decaying ard rain washes. Where

find it at the top of the bedrock, il there
is any left.
When you have taken out one pocket.

Pocket chimneys-like those on the

FINE ORE FROM THE LOMBARD
GROUP,

Friday afternoon there was left at L.
p. Davies & Co.'S Pharmacy, this city, a
number of pieces of ore from the adit on
the Polaris mine on the divide between
Gleason and Little Hamlin gulches, east
of Yankee, Clear Creek county. The ore
is galenous in character, intermixed with
bright and yellow and gray copper.
They were fair average of the pay
matter, having been taken from different
parts of the adit. The ore has been ex-
amined by number of the mining men
and experts of the city, who commented
very favorably upon the appearance OF
the ore. On Saturday Percy r.. Alsdorf
took an average sample of this ore, and
after assaying it, handed DIR. Abe Ash.
baugh certificate which gave the fol
lowing values: Gold, 49S ounces; silver,
20 ounces; copper, 2 per cent; lead, 26
per cen5.-a total of S127.4O per ton.
This is a good showing. The ore con
tanning copper iron is that portion which
carries the highest percentage of gold
and copper values.
DR.. Ashbaugh yesterday received a
certificate of assay made at the w. j.
Chamberlain q Co.'S samrling works
from another piece of ore from the
Polairs vein of the Lombard group which
gave gold, 9.20 ounces; silver, 1880
ounces; lead, % 80 per cent, and copper
2 per cent. per ton.

THE EAST BOSTON MINE.

Last week Percy Il. Alsdorf of the
Standard Assay Office, this city, who as
sayed the rich ore taken from the 600
foot east level of the Ridgewood com
pany's Rialto mine, visited the East Bos-
ton vein and made an examination of the
same. 1t is believed by Mr.. Alsdorf that
the East Boston mine in sinking will
strike this rich shoot of ore at depth.
i, After going through the easterly 300.
foot level he gives it as his opinion that
the 14-inch streak of mineral found in
that level is the same as in the Rialto at
the 600-foot easterly workings, as a con
tinuation of the Rialto vein would be
crossed by the East Boston at point
directly below the present workings of
the 3O0-foot level. The East Boston
number of years ago was regarded as
one of the richest mines in Gilpin county
and a leading producer. 1t has recently
been put in first class condition for
operation. Indications are that, with
depth, it will very soon regain its former
reputation. The daily output of ore is
being gradually increased. Under its
present management it will soon be
factor in the output of Gilpin county.
