President Pecks calm statement
OF the fact is contained in the re-
port as follows:
1T must he remembered that the
problem of treating the raw, low

Creek at low cost, is one that the

also process to Se known as the
Portland. The exact nature of the
meth DDS of ore treatment has not
been divulgrd, probably because OF
