NEW PROCESS WILL
MAKE BIC SAVING
American Gold Recovery Plan
Will Leave Little for
the Tailings.
Special To The Tribune.


MORGAN, Utah. June 2s.-While visit
ing New York City. as the president and
general manager OF the Crescent mining
group Of claims located In Morgan coun-
ty, Utah. George 7. Stenhouse was ap-
pointed field engineer and created one of
the directors of the American Gold Re-
covery company, by reason OF his long
years acquaintance with S. l.. Burbridge,
the inventor OF the new gold process
making a thorough recovery OF flake and
-four gold The invention is a new one
and differs so materially from all other
discoveries that the United States patent
office shows nothing similar to 1t. by
which complaint OF infringement could
be based. This Item being the first to
appear in public print. brief statement
OF the merits might be attractive TO the
gold-miping fraternity.
1t is well known that the average re-
covery of gold by stamp process, by
plato amalgamation, does not exceed so
per cent. From series of tests, where
1t has not been possible TO recover over
20 per cent of the assay value by pres
ent processes. this invention has sue
ceeded in saving 95 per cent by electro
lytic action In the mortar OF a stamp
mill, showing that the electrical energy
had the effect of thoroughly cleaning the
gold that would otherwise not have been
amalgamatcd; thus the electric current
passing through the water in the bat
terry, will throw down all the fine gold
held In suspension, and without such ac-
tion this large percentage floats off and
is forever lost.
The cost OF installing this process is
so small, where electric current is sup
piled. that the expense does not exceed
IS per stamp. S, L. Burbridge states he
can recover 95 per cent of tho assay
value Of all gold ore at a cost not eX-
ceedlng so cents per ton; that he has had
charge OF milling operations throughout
the United States for the pest thirty
years. and knows that his invention is
applicable to gold ores of the United
States. Canada, Mexico and Alaska, This
company is composed OF some of the
wealthiest men in New York, among
whom are Thomas a, Edison. George
Crawford. Ralph NJ. Clutton and others.
The American Gold Recovery company
is now prepared to enter the gold fields
OF the west, and by the erection OF sew
eral mills OF their own show TO the min
ing world their faith by the expenditure
of their own money. Mr. Stenhouse. the
field engineer, well known In Salt LaNl
City: as well as in the general western
states, will visit Salt Lake City during
the present week.

LAND DEALS WERE
NOT ALL CANDLES
Echoes of Eastern Financial
Restriction of West Are
Being Heard.

When eastern banking circles drew
tighter the strings OF the western purse,
a purse that was being drawn on for an
unusual amount of capital for tho devel~
opment OF western lands, this action was
variously discussed Opinions are being
called for by j. s. Bache & Company OF
New York. and their Montana corre-
spondent has reported In an interesting
manner, the following being an excerpt:
Answering your inquiry Of May 81. |
beg TO suggest that there is no clearly
marked line between the buying OF land
in this section for speculation or by ac-
tual farmers. Many of the tracts Of land
which have changed hands during the
past two years are being cultivated by
their new owners who have moved here
with the intention OF making Montana
q permanent home. Many of these men
have found after careful investigation
that they can produce an equal amount
OF value from Montana land at prices
ranging from SIS to $50 per acre as was
obtained from lands in the central states
which now carry valuation of $50 per
acre and upward. At the same time,
there Is large amount OF land-buying
by eastern parties who have no intention
of operating the property and with the
idea Of selling at an increased value. AS
Yet there has been little disposition on
the part OF those landholdcrs who have
sold out TO begin to repurchase, and as
long as this condition continues the
financial feature of the transaction is, Of
course. very favorable to our commun-
itN.'

Snyder, general manager Of the Cliff Min
ing company. who returned Tuesday from
a visit to this mine at Ophir. This ore.
he states. comes from ten different places
In the mine, and he Is well satisfied with
conditions. The middle tunnel is at pres

farther to the west, and at a greater
vertical depth OF 400 feet than the upper
levels. that have provided such a gen.
erous tonnage In the past, and this mid
die tunnel Is now breaking into tine first
ore shoot.
Mr.. Snyder says that the Carlsa also
is looking good at present. The raise
from the 500 level continues In silver and
lead ore, while a drift on the 500 level
has been in lime for the past eighty feet.
The face is now showing a good improve
ment, It looks lively and some assays
showing the presence of silver are re-
ported from the mine.
