TO LEACH COPPER ORES.
Clara Company to Install 2oo-ton
Mill of New Charncter.

w. C.. Tracy. who has been managing
the wheeler q Wilson company Rig
Cottonwood property during the past
year, has given UP his position TO take
charge Of the Clara Copper company
proposition. twenty miles south of ThOmp-
sons Springs. i'm Grand county. for which
place he left last night. The company
has lust closed deal with the American
Metals Extra ction company for the in
PRODUCTION or its process of teaching cop
per ores at the clara mines. and Man
ager Wilson announces that a 200-ton
plant viii be erected at once.
The process is that upon which Hudson
Smith and other Salt Lakers have been
experimenting for many months past
with a testing plant at the Acme Machine
shops capable Of treating several tons
Der day. So we'll have the cOpper-bearing
sandstone ores of the Clara responded to
the treatment that the American COM
pany made arrangements with the Clara
management to erect its first mill on the
latter's ground. The plant. it is calcu-
lated. will cost about $4,000. and be in
commission before the end of the year.
The active agencies employed In the
American Metal Extraction company
process are sulphurOuS acid solutions and
a gas prefera bly, manufactured from gyp-
sum and charcoal. In the case Of the
Clara ores and all sandstone copper-bear-
ing rock. such as occurs I'm unlimited
quantity down in the south La Sal region,
the treatment. roughly described. is as
follows The ore is first crushed to about
twenty-mesh and then fed to 4 HORIZONTAL
ly-revolVinC barrel-sh9ped tank. where II
is thoroughly mixed with solution. There
il is agtated for about twenty-five min
utes, when Il Is discharged into false
bottom fitering tank below. In this tank
the teaching process is completed by
bringing al the copper and silver values
into a liquid state. The solution is then
drawn down through the false bottom by
suction. passed through the gas cylinders
to the Drecipitatng tanks below, where
the copper and silver is collected in a
submetallic form. From the tanks the
precipitates are fed to filter presses where
as much of the final solution as possible
is pressed out. The product. then in the
form Of cakes of uniform size and thick
mss. are taken from the presses and put
into roasting ovens, where the last par
ticle of sulphur is sent off IN fumes TO be
condensed and used over again. the fin
ished product being the next thing TO
copper matte or bullion.
BY this method it is claimed that from
81 TO 81 per cent of the metallic contents
of the ore are saved. and at a cost, II Is
claimed. of not exceeding 3 cents a pound
for the copper. The entire operation Is
very simple and practically automatic in
its action. very few men being required
20 handle a plant Of the size which the
Clara company is to install.
Last wear a mill was erected AT the
property to handle the ores by a modified
Gardener process, but it was found that
the cost was too great to think Of ap-
plying il to a or per cent copper ore
