new PROCESS FOR
CYANID|NC ORES

A process for treating cupriferous
gold and silver ores has been de-
vised by John Collins Clancy, and he
has been granted United States pat
ent NO. 1857 1886, covering it's use,
says the Engineering and Mining
journal. The process consists Of
subjecting the ore to the action of
cyanide solution containing a soluable
cyanamide, the functions of the
cyanamide being to prevent the pre-
cipitation of copper upon the zinc at
the same time that the gold and silver
are precipitating The process may be
applied by adding any cyanamide,
calcium cyanamide, for instance, to
the solutions with which ore are treat
ed. The mixture of ore and solution
is agitatel according to the usual prac-
tIce, and solution is separated by some
one of the usual means. The solution
is passed over zinc shavings or dust to
precipitate its metal contents, while
the copper is held in solution by rea-
son of the presence of cyanamide. This
solution is used over and over again,
or if necessary, passed through an
tiCNtioiN NCi w PiOtiP AtS SORPCA
contents. The amount of copper in
the solution will determine the time
when the precipitation of copper
should be effected. The copper cyan
amide solution is said to be an ex-
cellent solvent for the precious met
als, as well as for copper compounds.
The great virtue of this process, in
addition to the avoiding of precipitat-
ing copper along with gold and silver,
is said to be that by simple electro
lysis all of the cyanide may be re-
generated at slight expenditure on
the anode as a black copper GYM
amide. This copper cyanamide be-
haves practically as a copper anode
and a low voltage is sufficient to
transfer the anodic copper to the
cathode, during which transfer re-
generation of the cyanide takes place.
On the treatment of the copper sui
phide ores the process works as ad-
yantageously as in the treatment of
oxidized copper ores. 1t may be
stated that high current density
may be used in the deposition of the
copper from the solution without de-
stroying the solution and at the same
time cutting down the expense of
large installations for electrolyzers in
the copper deposition.

HEAVIEST RAINFALL
FOR MANY YEARS

The rain storm of Sunday, which
was general over Eastern Nevada, was
one of the heaviest ever known in this
section. At Winnemucca the precipi-
tation for the "a hours was LIS
inches, the greatest rainfall of any "a
hours in June since the establishment
of the government weather bureau
here, in 1878, and the greatest in "a
hours of any month, with the excep-
tion of May 1900, when it was exceed
ed by three one-hundredths of an
inch.
While the rain came a little late to
benefit the hay crop, the cutting of
which is in progress, it will neverthe-
less prove of great value to the
ranges.

RATES REDUCED BY
R. R. Commission

The Railroad Commission, on June
Is, 1913, entered an order reducing
intra- state class freight rates on the
Southern Pacific company's system in
Nevada, the order being based on a
reconsideration of cases rs and 139 in
which orders had already been enter
ed, the validity of which have been
pending in the United States Circuit
Court, District of Nevada.
The opinion gives a history of the
two cases under reconsideration and
states that the final conclusions have
been reached on the basis of the testi-
mony sumbitted in the original hear
ings, in the hearings before the Unit
ed States Circuit Court, and at the
hearing on reconsideration which was
held June 5, 1913. 1t is further set
forth that in the judgment of the
commission, the rates heretofore pre-
scribed in cases 76 and 139, need sub
stantial modification in view of chang
ed conditions.
The order prescribes new scale of
class rates to govern the movement of
freight, and vacates the former orders
of the commission as soon as the new
rates are put into full force and
effect.
On the basis Of the tonnage moving,
the reduction will amount to approx
mately 25 per cent when compared
with the present rates in effect, and
this order preseribes approximately 10
per cent greater reduction than the
orders in the former case which were
vacated
The new rates prescribed by the
commission will mean great saving
to shipper of freight in the state of
Nevada, and it effects reductions in
the class rates between practically
every point in the state of Nevada up
on the main line and branches of the
Southern Pacific company, and from
mainline Southern Pacific points to
points on the Tonopah & Goldfield
railroad which will be automatically
reduced by the combination of the
new rates applying to Nina plus the
rates established by the Tonopah &
Goldfeld railroad to points south
further, the order will effect reduc-
tions to points located on the Nevada
Northern railway, Nevada Central
railroal and the Eureka Palisade
railway, on account of the reduction
in rates to the Southern Pacific com.
pany's functions with those roads
These rates are to become effective
! July l, 1913, and aside from the great
saving of freight charges on the pres
ent movement it will undoubtedly
mean that shippers in the state of Ne
vada will be able to greatly increase
(. their business on account of these
lower charges for the transportation
of their commodities

Wool Industry in Humboldt County.

Senator Pittman stated to the con
gressional committee referred to in
his dispatch that wool was not the
leading industry of Nevada. He is
also reputed to have stated that he
was being besieged with petitions
from the handful of wool men in the
state, protesting against his attitude
on the tariff on wool, all of which he
consigned to the waste basket.
The data on the wool industry for
the entire state is not available at
the moment, but the Silver State is
able TO give a very fair estimate of
the industry in Humboldt county.
Following are the names of the indi-
viduals and firms engaged in wool
growing in the county:

These sheepmen own approximately
10000 head of sheep. Some of them
are on the line between Nevada and
Oregon, the sheep crossing back and
forth in different seasons, but Winnie
mucea receives the wool. This list
does not contain the names of South
ern Oregon sheepmen who make this
town their headquarters.
1t is estimated that to keep up these
sheep, shear and market the wool
costs in wages and supplies a dollar
n head or the sum of S470,00O for the
entire number, every dollar of which
is put in circulation in this county.
Regarding the statement contained
in Senator Pittman's dispatch above
that "a majority of whom are sheep
herders of foreign nationality of the
lowest type, receiving wages far De
low that which | believe working
man in the state of Nevada should re-
ceive,' il must be assumed that Sen
ator Pittman is in ignorance OF the
real situation.
In this county sheepherders receive
$45 to $50 and foremen from 500 %

month in the year. This wage Is iai
