BUFFERS PROCESS.

The Salt Lake Tribune in speaking of
the metalursical Investigations of
Charles Buffers which are of consider
able interest to the mining men of Mon
tana. says:
Down in the basement of the Dolly
block. where Mr.. Charles Buffers has
decided the fate of so many abstract
problems in metallurey since his big
laboratory was founded at cost of
$4,000, experiments are now going on
that must, TO a large extent. determine
the future of the new process by which
the sulphide ores are concentrated by
the use of oil. or. more properly, the
tarlike residue from the refined pro-
duct. The process. to which some re-
ference has been previously made. has
lten employed With gratifying results
upon some of the copper ores of South
A1rica--that is. where they occur in the
forms of sulphides, that is the only
class in fact to which ii is applicable.
According to the prospectus, it is
nothing less than "a process for sep
aratins the metallic from the rocky
substances by mixing the pulverized
ore first with water in considerable
quantity. then adding to the mixture an
oil, which auheres to the metallic con-

IN MONTANA MINES


One feature of the year just closed has
been the increased tendency of capital
to invest in mining enterprises. The
abundance of surplus money and the in
creasing difficulty of finding remunera-
tive Investments which has been in,-
posed hy the gradual fall of the interest
rate, have led many 10 look to the min
ing and metallurSical industries as
sources of profit. The amount of money
invested in this way in 1899 and in 1900
has been very large and promises to he
still larger in 1901. improvements in
mining management are gradually lead
inE capt. alists to realize the possibilities
of well-managed mining properties. and
are tending to disabuse them of the no.
ton that mining investments are neces-
Sarily altogether speculative in their
character. says the Engineering and
Mining journal. That mines can be con-
Quoted on a safe business basis has long
been our contention and this is every
year supported by additional instances.
The record of dividends paid by mining
companies is an interesting and attrac-
tive one, ana ought to be care1nItN stud
led by investors. We may add that in
addition to those companies which will
be found in our list there are very
great number of mines which pay their
owners substantial profits, which are
rot reported. These include small cor
pOrations. or at least. corporations haN-
ing only few owners. which consider
it the best policy to limit the publicity
given to the results of their work: a
feeling which is natural enough under
some circumstances. although we have
alv avs considered il a mistaken policy.
In the case of gold mines also it in
cludes many mines which are owned by
individual or partnerships and whose
business. however profitable It may be.

even the limited publicity which is re-
quired Of the ordinary corporation. Could

SUBSTITUTE FOR COPPER.

Professor Trowbridge. director of the
physical laboratory of Harvard unive, :
sity. has been discussing the possibility
OF finding a cheaper substitute for cop
per. Aluminium is naturally pointed to,
and its decline from 800 a pound. in 1895.
to 10 cents a pound in the present year,
for casting enables it to compete with
other metals as to price. Aluminium is
commended for it's lightness. strength
and comparative freedom from rust.
One of the dra backs of commercial alu-
minum is its lack of uniform purity, the
impure spots being easily acted on by
moisture. especially if salt is present
Another is the low temperature at which
it melts. compared With steel and other
metals. Its conductiVity is So per cent
Of that of copper but being so much
lighter its serviceabi!ity as a conductor of
electricity is double that of copper
weight for weight. Al Niagara Falls for
example. great conductors of aluminium
are used to transmit electrical currents
from the power house to the works The
amount of aluminium in the conductors
weighs $4,000 pounds. The same work in
copper would require IS 900 pounds
Another disadvantage of aluminium is
the difficulty of soldering or braznS it.
though good many tluXeS are put for
ward as being efficient. Professor Trow-
bridge thinks that although aluminium
may be used for overhead telegraph lines,
ii is barred from competition with cop
per in cable work for the reason that, in
order 10 compete in electrical conducti-
witty with copper an aluminium wire must
have nearly twice the section of copper
wire of the same conductiVity. This in.
creases the size of the cables and also
increases the electrical capacity. which
is detrimental to the transmission of
electrical waves. 1t is suggested that
the use Of aluminium wire instead of cop
per would lead to a greater size of APP
paratus since the conducting parts
would have to be approximately twice
as big. So also the item of labor would
be increased, for no mechanic would work
with aluminium if he could take copper
or brass.
In summing UP Professor TrOwbridge
holds that While aluminium may be said
to be increasing in use. it has not vet
become a dangerous competitor Of cop
per. The world moves rapidly. however,
and since Professor Trowbridge made his
STUDY on lne SUBJECT. the new metal,
magnalium-an alloy of aluminium and
magnesium. mentioned in the November
number of the Canadian Engineer-has
been brought out in Germany, and this
metal, it is claimed. will put aluminium
in much better position than it has yet
reached One of these points of improve
ment is said to be its suitability for wire,
and if its conductivity is also increased
it will mean an important step in the
electrical as We'll as mechanical trades.
