they would tell the prospector and mine

ROBERT GARDENERS METHOD
'Hs Had d. lowered a Process fc:'
Leaching Copper. Gold and Silver
From Ore.
(By Associated Press.)

Denver. Colo. Sept. 26.-Robert Gar
diner president of the American copper
Mining and Extracting company. has
returned to Colorado after an absence
Of several months. during which time
he has been engaged in exploiting his
process for teaching ores. He has been
quite successful in spite of, the opposi-
ton which met him at the outset. This
has been largely removed by persistent
efforts on the part of the incorporators
of the Denver company which now cor
trolls the process. The company has
built a lotion mill on Eighth avenue and
Platt river for experimental purposes
and the results obtained warrant Mr.
Gardiner in expecting patti onage for
his process. Just before he left Denver
a aston lot of copper ore was treated
from Globe. Arizona. which was very
satisfactory. The ore carried about IA
FER cent. copper. and saving of nearly
27o0 pounds of copper was made which
was sold for "a little over $3.50. The ex-
traction cost about AZ cents for each
pound of copper; or about 12o for treat
ment for IS tons. This runs less than
IS per ton. but Mr.. Gardiner says that
for high grade ores the cost runs be-
tween s. and &c. The cost of low grade
ton do not expend their energy where
there in no mineral.
Mr.. Gardiner says his process has won
its way into favor among the chemists
of Denver because of its success in treat
ing all classes of ores. Even the most
refractory copper ores are said to yield
to notifications of the process. In the
Office of Field and Goody, chemists of
Eenver. Mr.. Gardiner says tests We're
made of the solicitation of the above
ramed gentlemen on copper carbon
ates. oxides and sulphates. as we'll as
copper glance. the values were extract
ed cheaply and quickly. The process
consists of the use of sulphuric acid
converted to hydrochloric acid by the use
Of salt. Nitric acid is also used with
powerful oxidizing agent. Silver and
gold are also extracted with the cop
per- though an after process is needed
to separate them. Tests have just been
made on the copper ores of Pennington
canyon with very good success. The
tailings seen today We're perfectly clean
without trace Of copper. A saving
of SO per cent is claimed to have been
made on these ores The process appears
to do it's work thoroughly and quickly
and the expense Of the operation can
bc cut down to the use of the solution
over and over again-a slight renewal
with chemicals only being necessary.

fecting the commercial meaning of as
say returns without having induced a
compensating change in the form OF
their statements. The result is more
or less misunderstanding Of facts and
sayers.
There seems to be no reason why as
sayers should not have a common stand
ard form of certificate OF assay which
should fully meet the requirements both
technically and commercially-a form
that should give the metallursist the
figures he wants and at the same time
give the additional figures and infosma-
ton that the prospector and mine owner
want. To begin with. existing CONNER
cial conditions must be recognized. Tnis
is not a condition of each mine having
it's own mill and producing bullion. Gus
tom smelters and their system of charges
and rebates and transportation. are new
elements that affect commercial values.
The waste substances in ores also AFFECT
commercial values. ASsaying, While
technically simple rthan formerly, must
be reckoned with as commercially more
complex than formerly. Prospectors ana
mine owners should recognize this dlf-
ference substantially. They should be
prepared to pay for more service ana
better service tha min the old days. The
laborer is always worthy of his hire.
The assayer of today gives more than
form,ry and should be paid more.
Cheap assaying means cheap. unrella-
BILE work, or. at any rate, incomplete
work.
Precisely as what the prospector ana
mine owner want is more and better
service, for which they must expect to
pay; so much the public assayer give
what is wanted. The standard form OF
certificate of assays should state these
facts regarding the ore assayed: l. The
character of metallurgical treatment to
which it is adapted and for which the
assay values are determined. ?. The
quantity in ounces per ton of gold and
the commercial value. The certificate
should state the full coinage value at
SaO.67 an ounce. and the commercial
value per ounce, SIS, $19, $50 or whatever
is paid by the buyer made by the charac-
tetr of metallurgical treatment estimated
on. 8. The quantity in ounces per ton of
silver and the commercial value. in the
same manner as for gold. Both the open
market value of the metal as bullion
should be stated and the value of the
metal in the ore that would be paid for
by the buyer. State it directly, instead
of by percentages which involve calcu-
lation. i. The quantity In percentage
