Columbian Reduction Process 8.

Mr.. George Wright, who after an alb
sence Of about ten years has recently
returned to Custer, and in conyersa.
ton with this gentleman we have learn.
ed something new. He tells us that
some years ago while in Kansas City, he
became interested in new process for
the reduction of ore to procure the pre-
cious metal. The process consists of an
oxidizing roaster, which takes the most
refractory ore that could be found and
by subjecting the same to their process
the gold contents become amenable to
amalgamation. The ore is put into q
rotary cylinder into which is introduced
hot air, cold air and steam
Subject to this process the ore be-
comes thoroughly oxidized in the space
of from so minutes to an hour. 1t is
then in a condition to slack in the air,
and every PARTICLES of gold, even TO the
finest dust will be found free milling,
and ready to amalgamate. lie says that
the company disagreed and for the last
three or four years they have been in
litigation. They have however settled
their differences at last and have now
reorganized under the name of the Col
umbian Reduction and Oxidzing COM
pany and have located their office on
the corner Of Sth and Olive ST., st Louis
Mo.
Mr.. Wright says that while they were
investigationg,they experimental on the
most refractory ores Of Utah and Cripple
creek, Colorado, and saved within 80
per cent of the assay value of the gold
in the ore. If this process will do all
that they claim for it would be well
adapted to treat most of the ore Of Gus
ter county and that too by a process
much cheaper than by any other meth
cd. 1t would be much cheaper and far
more rapid and simple than even cyan
ide process which has been such a God
send to the miners in the Black Hills.
Mr.. w. states that his company are
ready to treat all kinds of ore and will
make tests on commercial scale free OF
charge for those who mean business.
He does not know as yet how small a
lot they can conveniently treat as test,
but he will ascertain that fact and let us
know. We feel interested in this pro-
cess and will try to learn more about it
with the hope that it may be the thing
we need.

FOR WOMEN
Dainty Feminine Things

There is something charmingly
dainty and feminine about the more
elaborate separate waists of this sea-
son. Those Of the embroidered muslins
with just as little fulness at the shoul-
der or directly in front and then with
a band of the material with narrow
lace at either side are dainty and be-
coming. easily made and suitable with
any skirt and coat.
The accordion pleated chiffon, chif-
fonette, thin silk or crepe de chine
waists are charming also. even II not
especially novel. While the same ma
terial made with folded surplice effect
are very smart now under the short
Jackets that are so popular this spring,
and which are so made that the fronts
can be worn open or turned back if
desired.
Fancy lace collars and ties are more
fashionable than the raain or embroi-
dered linen and I'm everything it is no.
ticed that soft bows instead Of hard
uncompromising ties are preferred.
