tanks to treat all the residue from
the mill, which expects to work for
the most part on ores contain
ing about 81 a ton, and it is expect
ed that a profit will be returned to
the miner and the mill men out of
these ores. The mill is to have q
capacity of 1000 tons a day. Now,
the ores of that section are almost
identical with the ores of Ouray
county, and what Is puzzling us is,
if they can treat 81 ores at profit
there, why in Hellenblazes can't we
get someone to come in here and do
the same thing on SIS ores? This is
a problem which We would like some
mining man or,metallurgist to answer
in the columns of this paper. If the
same character of ores at other places
can be and is being treated at pro-
fit when they contain s4 ton in
values, how comes it that Ouray coun
ty, which has hundreds of thousands
of tons of SIS lying idle is unsought
by the milling and smelling interests
1t is our fault? Is it because the mill
men do not know what we have
here? We wish somebody who knows,
us upon this subject, for we confess
that we cannot understand why any
man or set of men would build a big
mill in Gilpin county, or any other
county, for the treatment of $4 ore
when just as much ore of the same
character cacn be got here which will
run all the way from $40 to S2o and
average about S15.--Ouray Plaindealer.
[Plaindealer is laboring under an
erroneous impression when it thinks
that the proposed cyanide plant for
this county is to be erected to treat
mainly $4.O0 ore. While the plart can
treat $4.00 ore and return a profit,
there is too much ore in the camp
that will run $1,000, $1,000 and $500
to justify the handling of very low
grade stuff. Dumps in Gilpin county
will average $500. 1t is doubtless
true that conditions in the Ouray dis
trict are similar to those of this Sec
tion and we see no reason why the
ores of that camp cannot be cyanid-
ed. For years mining men would scott
at the idea of treating Gilpin county
ores by cyanidation and perhaps
there was ground for doubt as it has
only been within the past year that
the practice of cyanidation has de-
veloped to such an extent that what
was impossible Prior to that time,
metallurgists claim, is no longer an
unsolved problem.] -.
The Disnified Way.
We don't wish to discourage any
means of advertising, says the White
City (Kan.) Register, but We cannot
for the life of us understand why
paper which goes into a majority of
the homes tributary to the town
where it is published is turned down
for bills or circulars. Men of apparent
business acumen will sometimes do
this. We positively cannot understand
it. A minutes thought should suffice
to convince such a person it is
losing proposition.
1t is a mistake for a merchant to
think that people are dying to read
his ads. They are not. Men are not
ad. readers to any great extent; but
women read the ads. and you must
aim to have your ads. reach that
class. They can see a bargain at
where q man wouldn't recog-
nize one if he met it In the road.
Here Is where the newspaper ad.
scores over bills. Let the average
man get an envelope out of the office
or box and on opening it finds it a
poster, he will wad it up and throw
it away. The wisdom OF his doing so
is apparent. If it does reach the
house, perhaps not more than one
member Of the family reads the cum.
bersome thing until it is destroyed.
How about the newspaper? 1t would
be sorry day for any hubby, or get
ting it out of the office or box, to
wad it up and throw it away. In fact,
he wouldn't have a disposition to do
So. He takes it home. reads the news,
and the ad. meets his every gaze.
He can't get away from them. He
reads them purposely or Inadvertently.
