Several methods of electro chem.
ieal precipitation OF cyanide solutions
Of gold and silver are now success
fully used. The most extensive ap-
plication of electro chemical metal
lurgy as applied to the cyanide pro-
cess has been at the Rand mines in
South Africa. and to the successful
application of electro chemical metal.
ldrgy in treating ore oi the Rand
mines is largely due the phenomenal
yield of the South African gold fields
The Siemens-Halske process was de-
yeloped in South Africa ana consists
OF passing current of electricity
through the auriferous cyanide elec'
trolyte from iron anodes to sheet lead
catholics. and on the latter the gold
and silver contained in the solution
forming the electrolyte is deposited.
The Pelatan.ClcrIci process has
been developed In this country and Is
successfully used in the DE Lamar
mines in Idaho. The process differs
from the lialske mainly In
using the cyanide solution. covering
the ore in tanks under treatment as
the elcctrolyte through which an elec.
trio current passes to mercury wells

pIccpitated as il is dissolved from

Secretary Watson of the fire depart
ment handed in the company report
for the past month, in which it was
stated that two fires had occurred,
both on the 25th of January, one at
the Judith Basin Roller Mills and the
other at the Judith Basin Bank. The
department did not throw water at
the mill fire owing to the large
amount of perishable stock which
would have been damaged and at the
hank fire it was not necessary.
The department had decided to put
In bill in to the council for the fire
at bank, which was a night call. and
which amounted to $95, less a dollar
and half fine which had been i'm
posed on one of the members for non
attendance.
Fire Chief Bebb made the state
ment that owing to the fact that the
department failed to get water at the
bank fire on account of a mistake
made in handling the engine. fifteen
members had expressed their inten
tion of refunding the money paid to
them for fire service that night.
The mayor said that the department
were always ready and willing to turn
out at any time and ne thought thai
they ought to be encouraged, and thai
the bill ought to be paid.
Secretary Watson said that the fir,
department had been put to extra ex
pense already and that they had de
cided to hire a man whose duty i
would be to constantly stay with th'
engine and who would be held respon
sible for its being in good shape.
A motion was made and passed tina
the bill be allowed.
City Attorney Won Tobel remarked
that fire department in an incorpo

In A Critical Condition

Mrs J. Archie Knott, who on Fri
day night last was brutally assault
by two colored thugs, at Lin wood Pa
Is reported as being in a critical con.
dition. Mrs. Knott is not one OF the
strongest Of her sex at the best Of
times and the rough treatment re-
ceived during the attack has had a
serious effect on her. At first it was
thought that about the only damage
done to the was the shock to her
nerves, but an examinatiOn-by her
phv sicians revealed the fact that her
body IS covered with bruises.
During the assault the thugs at.
tempted to pour earbolic acid down
the woman s throat. Seeing what the
men were attempting to do, Mrs.
Knott made a vigorous struggle,
with the result thas she received the
acid on the aide Of ner face and hands
How her eyes escaped is a miracle.
The worst damage by the acid was
to the woman's hands and wrist. Her
right wrIs: and forearm was burned
in the most painful manner, and
since abe accident has become dis
colored, and the attending physician
will use an X.ray to ascertain the
cause OF discoloring. The burned
condition of the member will not
permit a close examination and the
X-rays is resorted to with hope Of
finding out just how bad the injury
Mrs. Knott's condition hos become
critical and she Is not permitted to
see any Of her friends.

To CROSS P. W.
& B. TRACKS.

An order was issued yesterday by
Chancellor Nicholson directing the
Boandywine Railway to cross the
tracks of the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore railroad in
the ninth ward at grade.
The siding of the railroad, known
as the Brandywine branch, is di-
rectly in the path of the
proposed railway through the Ninth
ward and when the tracks were
laid that far work had to cease, as
several freight cars We're drilled
on the track where the railway de-
sired to cross. William S. Hilles, on
behalf of the railway company, ap-
piled to Chancellor Nicholson for
permission to cross the railroad at
grade.
Armor D. Chaytor ST., was ap-
pointed examiner by the chancellor
to take testimony.
After examining the testimony
taken, the chancellor yesterday
granted permission to the Brandy
wide railway to lay a crossing at
grade at the railroad tracks, but the
order contains the provision that
the railway company must provide
a safety disconnection that will de-
rail the trolley cars unless a switch
is thrown before the cars attempt to
proceed across the railroad crossing.
This arrangement is in use at the
third street crossing of the P. W. &
B. railroad.
