FINE SHOWING
Made by the NonpareiI Company on
Salmon River


R. G. Bailey, of the Nonpareil
Mining & Development company,
with properties on Salmon river
at the mouth Of Little Salmon,
was an arrival in the city yester-
day to visit the Interstate fair.
Mr.. Baily has been at the camp
in charge of the work that has
been carried on for the past IS
months, and will send ore to Spo-
kane to be tested with cyanide
plant. Mr.. Baily states that sew
eral hundred feet of open cuts
and tunnels have been run and
the property has been thoroughly
prospected. The ledge is more
than 1000 feet wide and is of a
porphyry formation. The COM
pany has located fourteen claims
and if the development work of
the winter results as satisfactory
as expected it is the intention to
install a plant earlYnext summer.

solution is always constant.

solution is always constant.
The final sand discharge, con-
tanning 25 to 80 percent. of solids
and from 1 to 5 percent of shines,
goes to the Buffers distributors
over the sand vats, battery solu-
ton being added in the carrying
launder so as to have five parts
of solution to one part sand. The
mills endeavor to make a fairly
close separation of sands from
shines in order to get a good
teaching rate in the sand tanks,
usually from 2.5 3.5 inches per
hour, although at one plant it is
but LIS to 1.75 inch per hour, and
also to prevent trouble with the
sands give in the shines tanks,

route and can be travelled earlier
and later in the season by about
two months than any other pass.
The new trail is well made and is
through a country that furnishes
an abundance of feed. Cabins
have also been constructed for
the accommodation of travellers.
Mr.. Baily states that it. is the
only logical route from the north
and that a large trade will be Sc
cured by its construction. Lew

Manager Royer, of the Cham

on three shifts in the tunnel now
being run on their dyke. Reports
indicate that this great ore body
is making good with depth its

Word reached this office this
week to the effect that Cole and

White Horse, are encountering
sensational values in free gold.
The depth attained is 35 feet and
the width of the ledge is reported
to be ten feet.

THE SEPARATION OE THE SANDS
FHOM THE SHINES BY MEANS OF
CONE CLAssIFIERS. This is now
done in the district almost entire
iy by means of simple sheet iron
cones. These cones are the outer
cones of ordinary hydraulic clas-
sifiers, the inner cones having
been removed. 1t may be stated
at the outset that the problem Of
removing the sands from the
shines when crushing in cyanide
solution with considerable lime is
a more difficult problem than
when crushing in water with
practically no lime. The lime
causes much trouble-first, by its
coagulating effect on. the shines,
causing them to settle with the
sands and coat sand particles
with shines, and, second, by causz
ing the formation of an excessive
amount of froth or foam, which
is certainly a great nuisance
about the mill.
The batteries discharge their
sludge by launder into a central
sump, from which it is raised to
the cones. The raising pump at
three of the mills is a spiral sand
pump, and at one of the mills a
centrifugal pump. For the rails
ing Of the battery sludge, con-
sisting of sands and shines, the
spiral pump is preferred to a cen
trifugal on account Of less wear.
for the transference of shines,
and for their agitation, centri-
fugal pump is generally used.
The usual size of the spiral sand
pump employed is the 54 by 10
inches. These pumps are run at
nineteen to twenty revolutions
per minute, raising the pulp Is
to 20 feet. Twenty feet is about
the practical maximum lift for
these pumps, and for greater lifts
they are placed tandem. A pump
of the above size will readily
handle $50 to $50 tons of sludge
per day.
The discharge Of these sand
pumps is intermittent, so that at
all of the mills a distributor box
is used to steady the flow and
give a uniform feed to the cones.
These distributing boxes have
different forms at the various
mills. At the Horseshoe mill g
pyramidal box is used A by A feet
in cross sections at the top, the
sides sloping at 60 degrees tc
meet at a point. The inverted
pyramid is topped by a box L
inches high, through which the
two 4-inch pipes from the Sane
pumps enter. About IL inches
from the bottom of the pyramid
four 3-inch pipes emerge, one al
each side, which feed into foul
50-inch cones. The distributor is
placed centrally over the foul
cones, and as low as possible, Sc
that the head Under which the
discharge takes place will bt
small. A screen placed in the
distributor box serves to keep out
foreign matter from the cones

enter from the sand pumps and
discharge upon an inclined screen.
The two discharge pipes-5 inch
es in diameter which feed the
two 50-inch cones have their CEN
ters placed 4 inches above the
bottom of the distributor box. AS
at the Horseshoe mill, the dis
tributor is set as closely as pos
sible to the cones. At the Dakota
mill similar box made of wood
is used.
The upper cones are simple
cones of sheet iron from 40 to so
inches in diameter, having verti-
Gle sides at the top II inches high.
The slope Of the cones is 60 de-
grees, ending in a 6-inch sorting
columns, which has Pinch dis
charge controlled by an iron cock.
The charging pipe feeds at the
center Of the cone, just below the
pulp level. In most of the mills
the top cones are covered closely
by either a wood or an iron cover
to confine the foam. This has
the disadvantage very SER
ious-of preventing ready in
spection Of the cones.
The upper cones are practically
simple settling cones. The sludge
going to the cones contains from
IA to 10 percent. solids, of which
80 to so percent. is shines and
the rest sands. Just what con-
stitutes sands and shines is some
what difficult to define. 1t is
generally accepted by the men in
charge of the plants crushing
siliceous ores that material finer
than $50 mesh is slime, and
coarser than $50 mesh is sand,
and classification is made largely
on this basis. 1t has also been
defined as that portion of the
crushed ore that will make water
muddy, sand, no matter how fine,
settling practically at once, and
not remaining suspended.
The overflow from the upper
cones contains practically no
sands, even very fine, and goes
to the shines tanks by the over
flow launder. The sands dis
charged at the bottom of the
cones contains from 20 to 35 per
cent of shines and are distributed
by short box to the lower cones.
These lower cones are of the same
construction as the upper ones,
but have introduced into the sort
ing column an upward current of
cyanide solution, either battery
solution or barren solution (solu-
tion that has been precipitated)
but generally battery solution.
This solution is introduced throu'
a Pinch pipe, with a cock to reg
ulate the flow. The amount of
solution introduced in this way
amounts to from 60 to 80 tons per
"a hours for a AZ to 50-inch cone.
These figures vary somewhat,
those given representing the linn
it's. The number of lower cones
is always one-half that of the
upper cones. The solution pipes
entering the sorting column OF
the lower cones do notcome di-
rectly from the stock tanks, but
from a special box provided with
an overflow at defnate height,
so that the head of the entering
