opened and are to be worked by a new
company, with new processes that prom
Use most favorable results A mill is 4
under construction already. The feature 4
of the new process is the abatement OF the |
smoke nuisance by the magnetic separa-
tion of the mundic from the copper py-
rites.
The Elizabeth Copper company has been

tion held by Messrs. John y. Judson and 1
Lewis 5. Rowand on the property of the
old Elizabeth Mining company on Cop.
peras Hill, South STAFFORD, with August

secretary and treasurer; John Judson,
general manager.
The ore is to be crushed by Blake rock
breakers and rolls and passed through the
and and introduced by the Wetherill Sc
parator company OF New York.
Mr.. Rowand's separators are used by
many concerns, among them the follow
ing BY the New Jersey Zine company i'm
the treatment OF the very difficult frank
Unite ore, found at Franklin Furnace, n.
j., by the Empire Zinc company. the
Colorado Zinc company and by several
other concerns for the separation of
blende from Leadville, Col, sulphide ores
and similar ores from other places; by the
Salt company at its works
at Natrona, Penn, and by another con-
Germ in Copenhagen, Denmark, for the
s. ETa.w. Ia Z
only mine OF that substance in Greenland;
by VIM. Carl Meiser in North Carolina and
other parties in other parts Of the world
for the removal OF menaccamite and gar
net from monazite, which is the source OF
thorium oxide, used in the Welshach
lights; by sundry concerns for the re-
moval of wolframite from cassitnite. the
mineral from which tin Is obtained: by
the DeBeers consolidated mines of South
Africa for the removal of sundry minerals
from diamonds, thereby doing away with
80 per cent Of the hard pickings, formerly
necessary, of the material from the creased
tables; by Witherbee Sherman Co. OF Nine
vile, \. y, for the removal of horn
hiende from apatite, mineral EMPLOYED
in the manufacture OF phosphate ferti-
lizers; and by various other concerns for
the separation OF divers minerals not
necessary to mention.
In treating the Elizabeth ore. it will be
nrst crushed by rock breakers and rolls
and then passed through Mr.. Rowand's
separators, BY which the pyrrhotite com
monty called mundic will be mechanically
removed. Pyrrhotite contains when pure
30 5 per cent Of sulphur. and By the re-
moval OF the mineral from the ore fully 20
to 50 per cent Of the sulphur which form
erly created such q nuisance in the roast
ing will be mechanically eliminated and
the smoke nuisance thereby done away
with.
After the removal Of the pyrrhotite. the
remainder Of the ore will be passed
through an oxidizing furnace and then
through other separators, whereby the
copper viii be obtained as high grade con-
centrates for smelling
The plant IS now under active coustrac-
tion and will be running IN November.
