That In Charleston there Is to be the
kwopment Of new process for the

fk new process is to be known as
v Cyclic Process" and the COM
nv that is organized to exploit the
stess is the Idaho Reduction Com
my. A reduction plant has within
hst few months been built and the
Achinery installed on the Snake river
Clarkston. A test run of the plant
- ha1n made and the company Is now
position to announce that they are
Ady to treat any and all ores brought
them and can demonstrate to all

tne new process begin with the con-

IN furnaces. the ore is put in an
