NEED OF PROPER FLOW
SHEET IN SAVING GOLD.

Adolph Maier, metallurgist and
mining engineer. returned Saturday
from an extended trip through north
ern California. taking in Siskiyou.
Trinity and Shasta counties. exam
lining the Midas mine, the Victor and
the Columbia, respectively. and re-
porting upon the metallurgical prob
lens Of making the highest extras
tion. Speaking of his trip Mr.. Maier
said:
While the mills already installed
are OF modern construction, they
lack the proper how-sheet, and in
some instances they are eliminating
cyanidation, to be superseded by
hydro-electro chlorination, followed
by concentration and classification
system, using Mcneil sinners to save
the values in the shines. This sys-
tenn is in use at the Michigan mine
near Grants Pass.
What is needed worse than any
thing else in this and California
counties is the proper how-sheet in
the mills, as there are no two ores
that require the same fiow-sheet. and
the ores should be tested by COM
petent metallurgist before the owner
goes to the expense of erecting a
mill that may prove a failure after
1t is installed, not being adapted to
the character of the ore.
In one instance while on my trip
| was asked, or rather questioned, If
the cyanide process does not save the
values in our ores what in the name
of common sense will save them?' In
other words, it seems that the cya-
nide treatment is the last resort for
the mine owner and miner, but ii
should not be from a metallurgical
standpoint"

Sunday and many persons were killed OF

which had erected barriers in the
streets. There was a fierce exchange of
bullets and the soldiers were pelted with
all sorts of missiles.
Following huge socialist demonstra-
ton outside the rathhouse, held in pro-
test against the high prices of food,
troops were called out to dispense the
crowd. In the early clashes so civilians
were wounded and 100 arrested. Fifty
thousand persons were present at the
demonstration and fiery speeches were
made demanding that the government
permit the importation of foreign meat
and take other measures to remedy the
conditions that have resulted from the
prohibitory increase in prices of food
After the meeting a large procession
proceeded to the parliament buildings
cheering for revolution and Portugal.
Volleys were fred in the air and the
mob began stone-throwing. The win
dows of many public and private build
ings, restaurants and tramcars and
street lamps were smashed.
Finally squadron of Dragons and
detachment of infantry charged the
rioters and dispersed them. The mobs
reassembled, however, in the suburbs
which are occupied by the working
class, where they were checked more
emphatically. The troops were retained
throughout the day, guarding the i'm
perial palace and government buildings
and holding approaches to the inner
city.
Toward evening the rioting in the
Ottakring quarter became more furious.
The mob demolished all the street lamps
in the main thoroughfare, plunging the
streets into darkness. They erected
hurled missiles of various
kinds on the soldiers from the upper
of houses. The order was given
to the troops to fire. At the first volley
many rioters fell, killed or injured. Sew
eral engaged in the conflict were placed
under arrest
The agitation is the elimination of
months of bitter discomfort over the
steady increase in cost, not only of food,
but of lodging, clothing and all the
necessities of life, and unless parliament
takes action it is feared developments
Of the disturbers will be very serious.
The rioting was of most determined
and savage character.
