sKIDOO CAMP PROSPECTS
LOOK BETTER THAN EVER

Dick Ryan, one of the best known
and best advised miner prospectors on
the desert, is very optimistic relative
to the camp of Skidoo, which, though
having suffered, in common with other
sections of the country, from the wide
spread depression of the last year or so,
is now forging to the front again in a
way that indicates that the Panamint
camp will be a steady producer of pre-
cious metals for years to come. The
town, Ryan says, is quiet-the first
boom is gone-but the mining prop
critics look better than ever before to
that gentleman.
The Skidoo mill is running full blast
and is treating about forty tons of ore
daily. The value of the ore is given
out at between $35 and $40. There is
no doubt, in the minds of many who
have been in a position to judge that
the Skidoo ore now being treated runs
easily up to these figures-and then
some. Bullfrog Miner.

COPPER SULPHIDES YIELD
TO NEW TEACHING PROCESS

that any carpenter can build. The cop
per is precipitated on sheet steel rather
than on iron, the loss being only one
ounce of steel to each pound of copper
recovered. The cost of a plant equal to
reducing 100 tons a day, including
building and equipment, is estimated at
SIS, 900 to $4,000. Five-ton lots can be
ground, leached, the copper precipitated
and cast into ingots in less than two
houIs Under favorable conditions, in
GLIDING nearness to railway stations, he
can make 2 per cent copper ore a source
of profit to both producer and mill.
While there are many ways whereby
oxides and carbonates of copper can be
leached, this discovery, by adding SUI
phides, renders it of great consequence
to many miners who, having both prod
ucts to deal with, have been compelled
to send their heavier ores to the smell
tiers. BY the Tracey method, assuming
it to be what is claimed for it, all
classes of copper products can be
treated in a mill at or conveniently near
the mine, at very low cost. Any gold
or silver contents are recovered by an
other method used in connection with
the teaching process, and at slight addi
tional expense.

That he has discovered a solvent
which will enable him to leach sulphide
copper ores as well as oxides and car
Donates, and with equal facility, is the
claim recently made by w. c. Tracey
of Denver. Tracy is an operator and
chemist, and a professional builder and
operator of ore treating mills, writes
General Frank Hall in the Denver Post,
and he claims to have made a number
of tests that prove his assertions be-
yond a doubt. 1t is also said that the
gold and silver values are easily re-
covered after the copper is extracted
from the ores.
If this be true, he has made a re-
markable discovery; in other words, has
accomplished something that no other
person within our knowledge has accom-
plished, the limit of teaching stopping
heretofore at oxides and c~arbonates in
the common practice.
According to Mr.. Tracey's statement
he is able to produce cement copper by
the method he has devised more eco
nomically and in less time than any
other process now employed. He uses
both steam and compressed air in his
teaching tanks and extracts every par
tiele of the copper content. He refuses
to name the chemicals used, preferrine
to keep that part of the secret to him
self.
The sulphide ores are ground to thirt,
or forty mesh, while the oxides ant
~carbonates are reduced to from eigh'
to twenty mesh. He claims to leach I
~ive-ton charge in about twenty min
utes.
Mr.. Tracey is now arranging to eroc
a ten-ton plant in Denver in the aea
future. The apparatus will consist o
an engine, boiler, Sampson erusheI
Elspass triplex rolls, an air compresso
and ono or two ordinary wooden tank
