posed to heat. When Il sufficient de-
gree has been reached, the quicksilver
rises to the top of the other metal and
passes through the pipe to the bowl of
water where it is saved. The gold and
silver which remain in the retort are
then placed in a crucible of black lead
and melted and run into bars for the
market. At the mill in question there
is no means of separating the gold
from the silver.
Though the gold is released from the
pulp when it PASSES over the electro
silver plates it is not dead" or waste
by any means. for it still contains
various metallic sulphurets of r1uch
value. The plates do not hold these
sulphurets. and they would be lost.
We're it not for an ingenious machine,
called a concentration. BY the use of
the concentrator everything of value is
retained in the mill. and the pulp that
goes out on the dump is entirely void
of metallic substances.
The water supply of the mill is Of
course taken from the pond. and to that
end Il 3-inch iron pipe has been laid
for distance Of about 200 yards. inro
the basement of the building. Here it
is pumped into n round tank l0X@.
which supplies the mill. and also the
boiler Of the engine.
