aorprrz1D Low GRADE GEES

Not a month passes but that some en-
thusiast comes forward with a plan to
build a custom mill at Goldf1eld Tor the
purpose Of treating the low grade ores
of that camp, of which immense dumps,
worth from $40 to $50 a ton. are COM
monty said to be available. A few facts
on this subject may save disappointment
to some, and may suggest a feasible line
of action to others.
No statement is more ordinarily heard
in Goldfeld, and out of 1t, than this:
That mine operators do not bother with
ore that goes below $50 or $50 per ton.
Such statements are misleading.
The Nevada Goldfeld Ore Reduction
company operates at Goldfeld a 20
stamp mill with a daily capacity Of 20
tons and a sampler with a capacity of
500 tons. This company buys ores. ships
the high grade and mills the low grade.
It's milling charge is $3.50 per ton with
90 per cent guaranteed extraction on
oxidized ores. Transportation charges
to his mill from local mines and leases
vary from IS cents to 81 per ton. 1t Is
therefore possible to probably mine
grades of ore running $25 per ton or bet
ter. allowing a reasonably high cost for
extracting ore already made available
in the search for high grade ores.
Ore Of less value than $25 Is not
mined, however. except in necessary
dead work, and then 1t often goes on the
waste dumps. There is no such great
quantity above ground as is generally
supposed. nor woul the average grade
Of available ore dumps be attractive un-
der present conditions.
The low grade custom mill problem.
for Goldfeld. is one which may be
solved. but If so it must be by a very
strong prepared to develop it's
own electric power and it's W water,
supply. The cost of power and water,
as furnished by the companies at pres
ent controlling these utilities. is the pro-
hibitive factor when low grade milling
projects are considered.
That there Is so far no particular diff
iculty in working Goldfeld ores. has
been proved in the Combination mill.
belonging to the Consolidated Mines
ompan where a good average saving
Ia made by -amalgamation, concentration
ON canvas tables and cyanfding. A
large mill could work these ores eco
nomically provided it could control eco
nomical power and water. There seems
to be no reasonable doubt that very
large supplies of ore worth from - to
$40, and with a probable average OF
about SIS per ton. could be furnished for
a very Ions period by Goldield mines.
There is. however. a problem which
Goldfeld mine operators must eventual
ly face. While high grade ore Is being
mined, a loss OF IS per cent of the total
value Of sulphide ores may be neglected.
Later on it cannot be. The solution will
probably be found in local shelters. us
ing reverberatory furnaces with crude
oil fuel. Copper belts exist near Gold
field, in which basic ores have already
been developed. The search for such
basic ores. ever Of low grade. should be
encouraged--for II these be found in
sufHcient quantity and d favorable
conditions. smelting at or rear Goldfeld
will. in the long run. be the cheapest.
and most effective method of ore treat
