Worlds Iron Ore Production.


In comparative survey of the
worlds iron-ore situation, the remark
able fact is brought out that the United
States in 1899 produced 30 per cent. of
the worlds ore, or 25, 900, 900 tons out
of a total of $1,000, 900 tons, in round
numbers. This quantity is somewhat
less than the combined ore output of
both Great Britain and Germany, in
cluding Luxembourg, which produced
respectively II and p per cent. of the
worlds ore supply. This alone gives
the United States the leadership among
the worlds great ore producers; but
this fact must be taken in connection
with coal production on which the iron
industry depends and of which this
country produces 30 per cent. of the
worlds output, while Great Britain
produces 30 per cent. and Germany 10
per cent. With primacy in coal and
iron ore the position of the United
States is one of undisputed and per-
manent ascendancy in her control of
the raw materials of iron and steel
production. This primacy in raw ma
terials gives the United States a self
sufficing position, as compared with
that of her foremost rivals-Germany
and Great Britain. While the Dort-
mund, Germany, furnaces have to go
to Northern Sweden for iron ores and
the furnaces of Cleveland England J
have to get their ores from Northern
and Southern Spain, the United States
are far freer to locate their iron and
steel industries with direct regard to
the conditions of maximum economy
in the accumulation of raw materials
and the distribution of the finished
products. Therefore, as coke has dis
placed coal, the tendency the world
over is for the furnace to leave the
colliery and move toward the ore mines
Hence the iron and steel Industries of
this country are gradually being drawn
around the southern shores of Lake
Erie within easy access of the vast ore
deposits of the Lake Superior mines.
The preponderance of this single
source of ore production is apparent
from the fact that the Lake Superior
region furnished 73 per cent. of the
$4,000, 900 tons of ore consumed by our
furnaces in 1899, while the Southern
States furnished 10 per cent. and the
Eastern States but per cent. One of
the most wonderful developments in
modern trade is that of the ore-hand-
ling facilities from the Lake Superior
mines to the furnaces of Pennsylvania
and Ohio.

Leaching Copper Ores.

In recent issue of the Mining and
Scientific Press appeared an article on
the subject OF teaching copper ores,
and, in general, methods of wet ex-
traction.
It seems there are ordinarily three
classes of processes for the wet ex-
tsaction of copper. In one the sulphide
ores are roasted in heaps, driving off
most of the sulphur, and converting
the copper into sulphate which is
leached out with water. Sometimes
the lixiviated residue is reroasted with
the addition of pyrites, and again
lixiviated, the extraction thus being
made more complete. This system or
class. includes the Longmaid, Hender-
son and Monnier process, so-called,
or any way in which the copper is
rendered soluble by subjecting the sui
phide ores to preliminary roast to
remove most of the sulphur, subse-
quently adding portion of common
salt to the charge in the roasting furn-
ace, by which the copper is converted
into chloride, or, with sulphate of
soda, thus forming sulphate OF copper.
Another class comprises those me-
thods in which free hydrochloric acid,
or sulphuric acid, is made the solvent
for copper found in oxidized or roast
ed ores. Where the hydrochloric or
sulphur acids are waste products such
process might do, but, ordinarily, that
method, while simple and efficient, is
costly. There is a cognate method
whereby the oxidized and moistened
ores are exposed to the slow action of
sulphurous acid mixed with air, thus
forming soluble sulphate OF copper.
The copper is precipitated from its
solution by the use OF metallic iron;
although milk of lime has been used
as precipitant, in such a case oxide
of copper is produced.
A third class of wet processes of
copper extraction comprises such me-
thods as the one in which a hot solu-
tiOn OF ferrous chloride, with common
salt, is used to chloridize the oxidized
copper and convert 1t into mixture of
cupric and cuprous chlorides, which,
though almost insoluble in water, are
dissolved by the help of the sodium
chloride. In the Hunt & Douglass
process, from this solution the copper
is precipitated by metallic iron, thus
reproducing the ferrous chloride, which
Is used as the solvent. This method
is also suited to the extraction Of cop
per from oxidized ores containing
copper carbohates and the hydrous
silicate Of copper (chrysocolla). 1t 10
The Marble times and Crystal silver lance., 1901-07-19

pointed out by Furman that when ap-
piled to the treatment of ores contain
ing silver, the use of the bath of fer
rous chloride has, in common with the
method Of roasting with salt, the dis
advantage that it converts the silver
into chloride which is soluble in the
strong solution of sodium chloride,
and is then with difficulty separated
from the chlorides of copper. This
has been successfully overcome by q
method which depends upon the action
of sulphurous acid on copper sulphate
in solution with enough chlorine to
produce cuprous chloride. This pure
copper salt (which is insoluble except
in strong chloride solution) readily
separates on the injection of sulphur
Gus acid gas from a roasting furnace.
If the gas is not diluted by too much
air, acid is simultaneously generated
in excess of the equivalent quantity,
due to the unavoidable, though desir-
able presence of free oxygen in the in
jected gases. The subchloride is sus-
ceptible of being reduced by iron to
cement copper, and the chlorine recov-
cred as chloride of iron, or to SUBJ
oxide by lime, and the chlorine recov-
cred as calcium chloride, the gold or
silver remaining with the iron oxide
in the matte or ore residues.

The Mining and Scientific Press is

The Mining and Scientific Press is
authority for the statement that when
mine has become forfeit by reason
OF failure to do assessment work an
nually, all the improvements are for
feited with it, and the mining claim
being relocated, the claims mants have
the right to the improvements. A mill
would be an Improvement that would
become forfeit. If the mill which had
been used in connection with the mine
was built on separate millsite loca-
ton it would not become forfeit by
failure to do assessment work on the
mine, and could not be located or
claimed with the mine. The mill on a
millsite claim is the property of the
builders till 1t is abandoned. The
payment of taxes is evidence that it is
not abandoned.

Work is what counts in opening up

to do this. Hence, it behooves all
property owners in this district to give
some inducements to capitalists to

can be found anywhere in Colorado,
