INTERESTING DESCRIPTION
OF GOLD ORE REDUCTION
Showing the Scientific Process in
Use at the New Mill of the
GOIdfieId Consolidated
Mines Company.

(By F. H. Traphagen, professor of
metallurgy, Colorado School of
mines.)
The new 100-stanp mill of the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany is model mill in every respect.
1t represents the consummation of
many months of careful experiment
on large scale with the particular
ore to be treated, together with the
adoption of the best devices and
practice in use wherever ores of a
nature in any way resembling the
Goldfield ore are treated.
The mortars are of the Homestake
type, narrow, shallow and with large
opening to permit of easy discharge
and large capacity. They are set on
concrete mortar blocks, and are fit
ted with sixteen-mesh screens.
The ore is not crushed in solution,
the cyanide being added after de-
watering late in the treatment, after
amalgamation and concentration
have taken place. The silver-plated
amaigamation plates are arranged
in sets of four, drops between sets
making amalgamation more perfect.
At the end of these terraces are
trans RI cavo DC nuoh &c noccihJ 10
of the amalgam and mercury passing
from the plates.
Following the traps, the pulp
passes to conical classifiers, where
the material already crushed fine
enough for subsequent treatment is
separated from that requiring fur
Their reduction in size. The fine ma
terial passes to Callow tanks for
the removal of the excess of water
after which it goes to Deister con

terial ranging in size from sixteen
mesh to 150-mesh, with a small
amount of still finer material, is sen
to Dorr classifiers, where further
division into sand and shines take
place, the sand going to the tube
mills, where it is all practically re
duced to 200-mesh This fine ma
terial is still further amalgamatet

their labor would have been in vain,
for the, much prided cash on hand
