Big Profit From Sands.
In the old recrushng plant last year
3SS.1G4 tons of coarse tailings we're
crushed, from which was recovered a
total of L529,o97 pounds Of copper att
a cost of j.S7 cents a pound
An the buildings FOR the new crush
ing mill have been finished and about
onc-half the machinery erected. The
huh and machinery for the dredge
have been received and the work Of in
stallation should be finished this sum
mer. II has been estimated that the
above mill, working at its capacity OF
about 5000 tons per day, would retreat
the available sands in Torch Lake i'm
about 80 years and save . pounds Of
copper per ton al cost Of about g.
cents giving q profit if sold at 1879
cents per pound. Of something over
Slp.0n0.0o0. less the cost of the mill and
power equipment Experiments that
have been carried on during the past
two years show that teaching proc
cess has been developed which can bel
applied 10 a large proportion Of the
waste taiIings of this rccrushiuS mill
The results $50 fn~ obtained by the use
of this process indicate @ further saw
