Little Helen Heuer had a narrow
escape from being downed Saturday.
She had been out picnicking with a
number of playmates at the foot of
Nagle hill, across the Black Hawk
road. In returning in the evening the
girls used burros in fording the creek.
When Helen was crossing her burro
became stubborn and stopped in the
middle of the creek. She dismounted,
stepping on log or stone and COM
menced pulling at the burros bride.
The bride broke and she fell into
the water. The water was running
high and fast and the girl was carri-
ed down stream hundred feet
or more, but managed to reach the
bank. How she saved herself from
drowning is a mystery to herself
and her companions who claim she
was carried away before they could
realize what had happened.

CYAN|D|NG PROCESS PROVES A SUCCESS
Messrs Alsdorf and Draper Convinced After
Months of Experimenting that Gilpin

county are amenabIe to eyanidation
has been coneIusiveIy proven In a
series Of tests which have been con.
Quoted by Messrs. p. r. Alsdorf and
M. D. Draper, who have been expert
mentins six months or more. The
gentlemen were reluctant to say any
thing about their system or method
until they were convinced beyond all
possible doubt that they had solved
the problem and could accomplish the
heretofore difficult, If not impos-
sible task, Of extracting the gold from
the unlimited quantity Of low grade
ore found in oiipin county.
So confident is Mr.. Draper that
the ores Of the 6iIpin and Clear
Creek district can be treated by the
cyanide process, he has resigned his
position as general manager of the
Fifty Gold Mines corporation, che
same taking effect yesterday, and will
devote his time to enIistins capital
In the erection Of a 3oo-ton plant.
During the last six months it has
been generally known that a series
Of tests have been conducted at the
mill Of the Fifty Gold Mines corpora
tion In Black Hawk and also at the
laboratory Of p. r. AIsdorf, where
equipment Of different kinds was in
stalled for this purpose, these tssts
being conducted on the various ores
Of the county, looking to the more
complete recovery and cheaper treat
ment Of its low grade ores.
While 1t was easily assertained
that an increase Of extraction by
means Of concentration could be
made, this increase did not result
in a corresponding increase to the
shipper for the very simple reason
that the increased extraction was
absorbed by the freight and smelling
charges on concentrates.
With the end in view Of the COM
pIete treatment on the ground, of
these low grade ores, thereby entire
ly eliminating the dependence Of the
county upon smelling operations Of
any kind whatever, complete series
Of tests involving amaIs samation, con-
eentration and auxiliary treatment
by eyanidation, was conducted. The
results, contrary to the general be-
lief that our ores were complex and
refractory, metaIIursieally speaking,
showed that by up-to-date methods
and without any complex or intricate
methods or machinery, that these
ores were quite am.nabie to treat.
ment and that maximum recovery
can be made at the present cost Of
milling and marketing and at the
same time yield, to the producer,
from IS to 25 per cent more than
il has been possible for him to
obtain heretofore, and in some cases
even more than the amounts quoted.
After a number Of these tests had
been made, ten-ton plant was in
stalled in the Fifty mill and the re-
suits obtained in the laboratory were
verified on a working scale. A gold
bar weighing 1887 ounces was later
obtained from the treatment Of 10
tons Of concentrates, and on which,
incidentally, much higher ex-
traction was made than had been In.
dieated by the smaller tests.

II 10 axiomatic that low grade ores
will not stand high transportation
charges nor will they stand still
less middIemen's charges and the
only solution Of the difficulty is local
treatment and this will be obviated
for all time by the proposed mill.
Local Treatment solved the problem
for Cripple Creek and many other
camps and it is considered that the
same condition exists as in Cripple
Creek before the installation Of Gus.
tom mills which were, in turn, cap
able Of saving the values.
It is considered that this county
has far more development than the
ordinary mining camp and that on
this account many Of the older mines
which have long levels driven and
much other extensive development
already done, could resume opera
tions at once on the lower grades Of
ore which were necessarily left there
in on account Of the former high
treatment charges and inefficieney Of
the mills at an earlier date.
In Nrder. 60 make a more complete
recovery Of the values in the ores,
it is necessary to erect a modern
mill embodying all the latest improv.
ed practices. The various engineers
who have reported on the merits and
feasibility Of the enterprise, recon-
mend that a modern automatic samp.
ling plant be built in connection with
the mill proper, and that the ores
be purchased outright and they have
also recommended, in view of the
present production Of the county and
the probable future of the plant, that
its initial capacity be not less than
800 tons per day.
The probable treatment charges will
be $500 per ton.
When the mining operator ealeu-
Iates that his present mill charges
or marketing charges will exceed
this figure and in addition he has,

eentase returned to him, a PROPOSE
