MIR. MOoRE's STATEMENT.
"The process was designed by the in

versal. or at least International In the
cyanding Of ores that is the shines
difficulty, by which probably 30 per cent
OF all the ores are seriously affected
The methods AT present In vogue for the
treatment OF shines are crude IN the eN-
IRENE: the deCantation and the filter
press methods being the only ones here
tofore attempted In a large way. Both
Of these have very serious objections
ana both are useless for low grade ores.
The hlter-pross method has largely dis
placed decantation and IL. especially in
South Africa and Australia, very eN-
tensively used.
The writer had full experience In the
operation OF hitter presses at the sun
shine mine. where the ore averages less
than 81 to the ton, and there encoun-
tered difficulties with which every filter
press operator is familiar, that Is. the
/ cost OF manipulation and the imperfect
washing OF the gold solution from the
cakes There were four three-ton
presses and the labor and cost was 90
cents to the ton Of shines. while an av-
crage OF 40 cents Of soluble gold was
| left in the cakes. The latter difficulty
/ is due to the fact that In filling IL Is
/ impossible to prevent a partial separa-
/ tion OF the coarses slime particles from
| the finer. Thus the resistance to the
/ flow Of wash water varies in different
| parts Of the cake and the water natur-
! ally takes the course of least resistance
/ and a large part OF the cake II not
/ washed To overcome this difficulty
/ operators In South Africa resort To
double hitter pressing. that Is. they stir
| the cakes from the first press into an
/ emulsion with water or solution and re-
| peat the hltering operation. This, Of
course, doubles the operating cost, al
ready too high.
