best. 1t was amusing however. whel1
they told us that we did not know
what bad roads were. as we thought
we could have given them q pretty

PLANS TO PUT MAcQUlsTEN
PROCESS IN WIDER FIELD

d Macpherson Boyd, treasurer Of the Ameri-
can Direct Concentrating company, is at Hotel
Alexandria from Salt Lake City, in the IN
terests of the Macqulsten process OF TUBE CON
centration Since the company was started the
nersIstent experiments conducted have demon
strated its merits, and 1t is now in successful
oneration in Nevada and Idaho while several
contracts of great magnitude are under con-
sideration.
The company has contracted that future tests
of ores will be conducted by the General En-
cheering company of Salt Lake City, where the
Macquisten tube will be tried out on those
ores for which they are applicable. In the
field of zinc the company has Just sold to one
of the best zinc authorities in the state series
of tubes to be used on a large low grade zinc
deposit ,
When seen last night Mr.. Boyd told little
of the hopes of his company.
at is a we'll known fact" he said that the
large copper companies of Utah and Nevada
discard tailings which contain anywhere from
L to l per cent copper. If this say fifteen
pounds of copper W the tailings now passing
down The creek, chn be turned into the Mac
quisten tubes before it reaches the creek, prac-
tically all of the copper can be recovered at a
cost of 25 cents a ton, provided large tube
plant be erected capable of treating, say, 5Og
TONS a day. Not only in this field, but in the
smaller scale as well 1t may proftably be
employed either as the sole concentrator or as
an auxiliary to the well known methods of
gravity concentration.
I'm placing the testing department in the
hands of the General Engineering company of
salt Lake city we have done because any
test made would be free from prejudice as they
are not in any way financially interested in
company"
