The property of the company consists

He has been investigating the electric sys-

put in q small capacity plant at Ameri-

the new process.
According 10 the Boise Capital News he
is most sanguinc of success and hopes to
build up a big industry. He states that
the electrical treatment of ores has been
tested and is now in operation in Ger
many and in France, and has also been
made the subject of investigation on the
part of Canada. which reports most IA
vorahly. He states that small plant
can be put in, tested and operated sue
cessfully and can then be increased with
out the waste of money or energy. He
believes that a plant costing about $4,000
can profitably be installed and then as it
demonstrates its success and necessity re-
qures. 1t can be increased. The electrical
process of treating ores has this advan-
