 Ike Anderson, of Prescott, well known in MObave county, has discOv- cred a new process for precipitating the precious metals that will revolu- tiOnizs gold mining if it will do in practice what it has done in the 300 tests he bas made. Following is what Mr.AuderSon claims his discovery will do, as published in the Prescott Cou' rier; First, the saving of a larger per centage of values at less cost than heretofore.
