WORKING Low GRADE ORE.

A Melbourn owned mine in west Aus
tralia-the Tindals, at Coolgardie- has
achieved the distinction OF treating
proftably ore worth 0.2 ounces per tor.
According to the Coolgardie Miner, last
month 1,042 tons were crushed for a
yield of :e7S4. The working cost was 9s
per ton, making, with Office expenses, a
total of f473 costs, and leaving a profit
of E311. This demonstrates that, even
in country where heavy working costs
have been regarded as inevitsbio, careful
and capable management will make the
successful treatment of low grade pro
positions possible. The manager, Mr..
Rasmussen, is Victorian. Though the
mine is worked under the most favorable
conditions in regard to the mining of ore,
as the lode is OF great extent and worked
from an open cut, the cost of water,
which is 5s per 1000 gallons, is con-
siderable item.

drills. 1t failed, and after being over
hauled by a certain engineer, | was
called in come time afterward. They
complained bitterly about the condition
the compre ssor was in. They could not
obtain the volume of air required to run
one drill decently. On looking at the

the crank had, and l asked whether that
was the original crank. The superin-

gineef happened 10 be close by, and
stated that the crank had been changed
by him. It was a Clayton compressor

one sixth of an inch thick was used

. make the compressor go.-he Gid not
have tine to wait for the disks to come
from Eew York-got some rubber pump
valves about "a or "a of an inch thick
and put them under the inlet valves.
The inlet valves are next to the piston.
When the piston cane up, it stuck these
valves; in order to avoid this, he put op
new and shorter crank, giving IL inch
clearance, which, OF course, explained
why the efficiency vas SO poor. Ipulled
out the valves, resurrected the old crank
shaft, ground the valves to a metallic
seat, and te!egraphed for new rubbers.
The metallic seat is used generally.

After the rubber was inserted, Of course
the efficiency rose at once, and they were
able to run three drills"
