George n Edwards returned yeSter-

has been in charge of the Cahileii Dan

purpose of demonstrating not only tne
values in but the best methods OF eX-
tracing them from the ore. He is now
satisfied. in the face of the large ton

the company is warranted in installing

now negotiating for new machinery
whereby to treat from thirty to forty
tons per day. AS now arranged. the
ore will be stamped and passed over
the plates with an amalgamator at

tables, expecting in the end to cyanide
