Otto Ruhl, of the Roessler & Hass-

method from potassium ferro-cyanide,
using both domestic and foreign raw

export cyanide made in the United

II was seven years before we sold
the first carload at As cents per

would be wanted here also by the

orange trees, the only recognized
remedy against the San Jose pest.
Among our first customers were
the Mercur gold mines at Mercur,

West End Experts.
Walter IL. Wiley, mining engineer,
first studied as a miner, which work
he began 35 years ago. He graduated
from the Colorado School of Mines In
1883. He worked as surveyor and
assayer for a few years after gradu-
alton. Since he has practised his
profession as mining engineer and
has engaged in making examination
of mines and mining properties for
economic valuation, development and
litigation purposes, his work has
extended over a greater portion of
the United States, Alaska, British
Columbia, Mexico, South America and
Asia. He is considered as one of the
foremost mining engineers of the
world and has the reputation of be-
ing one of the most painstaking and
careful experts.
Horace V. Winchell is one of a
great family of American biologists
and one of the foremost biologists OF
the world today. His father was a
geologlst of international reputation
and his uncle. Alexander Winchell,
was one OF the greatest biologists of
all time. Graduating from the Uni
versity OF Michigan when his uncle
occupied the chair of geology, he has
been engaged in the investigation OF
geological conditions as applied tc
mines continuously for 25 years. Mr.
! Winchell made the first favorable re
port on the Mesaba iron range In
Minnesota, which has since become
the greatest iron producing region In
the world He has examined mine:
in all parts of the world, representing
some of the greatest mining investors

much cyanide was used so long as
he could secure big results, but it
also did not take him long to discover
that he was wasting cyanide. The
price at which we sold him the first
100 tons was S2k cents per pound.
f. o. b. New York
We tested the feed and the tailings
Of the Nevada Gold Mines and advised
the naturalization of the ore with
lime or caustic soda before cyaniding,
which would cut down the consump-
ton of cyanide TO four pounds per
ton Of ore, Several years later the
captains manager, Hartwig A. Cohen,
openly boosted of having reduced the
consumption Of cyanide to one pound
per ton of ore, but failed TO mention
that the refractory ores had fallen in
value to $40 per ton.
With the enactment of the Dingley
tariff act of 1897. reducing the rate
OF duty from 25 to 1914 per cent ad
yalorem, we were compelled to cease
the manufacture of potassium cyan
ide. For several years. during the
period of the Transyaal war We re-
sorted to the importation OF cyanide.
In 1902 we took up the manufac-
ture Of sodium cyanide, producing II

ton of an American chemist Hamll-

years to reach the high standard OF
sodium cyanide which we are now
producing, equivalent to l2S to 1870
per cent potassium cyanide, now uni
yersally recognized as the only prop
er material for electroplating, fumi-
cation and gold extraction purposes.
Unfortunately for the United States
