PROGRESS IN METALLURGY

Substantial improvement has been
made in 1913 in methods of recover
ing gold and silver, but few striking
innovations were brought forward.
AS has been the case in recent years,
the cyanide process was the most i'm
portant in point of quantity and
value of metals recovered. Its use

The use of aluminium as a pre-
cipitant of gold and silver from cyan
ide solution received increased at
tention in 1913.
Dissatisfaction with zinc p%recipita-
ton at the Nipissing mill led to the
investigation of the merits of alumni
mum does not combine with alkali
finally adopted.
There are a number of advantages
in using aluminium for precipitation.
Although it is more expensive than
zinc, yet much less of it is used per
ounce of metal precipitated. Alumni
mum does not cobine with alkali
cyanide as does zinc, hence does not
cause consumption of cyanide. When
the precious metals are precipitated,
all of the cyanide combined with
them is regenerated. This necessi-
tates the presence of free caustiC
alkali in the solution . One of the
obstacles to the successful use OF
aluminium dust has been the Difficult
ty of wetting it and getting a thor
ough contact with the solution. This
is overcome by the use of some form

COAL MINING IN OHIO

Although Ohio suffered from a
number of uptoward influences dur
ing 1913, the production of coal in
that state vas slightly in excess of
the output in the preceding year,
hut it amounted to a little over 34,-
500. 000 short tons. In the late
spring the mining operations We're
adversely affected by the unprece-
denied flood which tied up transport
tation and put the coal mines out OF
business for about one month. Later
in the year, as if to make up for the

HEAVY ZINC OUTPUT

The statement from Good

Potosi property, formerly owned by
Mahony Bros, of San Francisco, has
been taken over by the Empire Zinc

be $125, 900. The property has been

about $50 tons monthly of zinc ore,
averaging SO per cent zine and 5 per
cent lead, and it is expected that the
new company will increase this pro-
duction materially. Plans + under

GOLDYKE COMES
TO FRONT AGAIN
AFTER LAPSE OF FIFTEEN
YEARS HIGH-GRADE
is FOUND

Goldyke has come to the front
after a lapse of fifteen years with a
showing of high-grade that may lead
to more important developments in
that camp. Samples of high-grade
have been eXnlD1Ieu IN Tonopah and
the assays give values in gold and
silver running all the way from
$4,000 to $4,000 a ton. OF course
there is not much of this particular
streak, but there is enough shipping
and milling ore behind it to o
age investors to go ahead with devel-
Opment on a scale that will demon
strate the value of the holdings.
M. l.. Butler of Los Angeles is
credited with the find. He is not a
miner, but he has been long enough
in the field to know good rock when
he sees it, and he has spent consider
able money during the past ten years
in proving up what he thinks is go
ing to be one of the finest properties
in Mineral county. He came into To-
nopah a year after the discoveries
along Mizpah hill and branched out
to the north until he located a group
of six claims at the old camp of
Goldyke, thirty miles northeast from
Luning, which is the nearest ship
ping point. He prosecuted work with
diligence, but for the past three years
he has not done anything lore than
his assessment work.
The high-grade samples are highly
oxidized and run from $50 to $4,000
a ton from a five-incn streak in a
ledge eight feet wide that averages
over $50. A bond and lease has been
given the Nevada Chief Mining COM
pany, consisting of O.. o. Emmons,
Bob Williams and Charles Steele, and
they propose to go ahead on a COM
~prehensive plan of development. The
ledge was opened through a shaft on
the north side of a rhyOlite contact,
where a depth of 230 feet has been
attained. At $50 feet the old COM
pany, known as the Paradise Nevada
Mining company, began cross-cutting
and encountered three feet of ore.
Then they came back to the shaft
and resumed sinking to $50 feet,
where another cross-cut was Il and
an upraise started, with the result
hat in a height of thirty feet they
cut the ledge and found the high
values.
Mr.. Butler returned to Los Angeles
this morning and will wait for the
leasers to show what can be done
with the property. Six men are en-
Moved and it is proposed to increase
that number as fast as the showing

ACTIVITY RENEWED
AT DEEP CREEK MINE
WOODMAN MINING COMPANY Is
PUTTING FORCE OF MEN
TO WORK

The Woodman Mining company.
whose property is located in the Cliff
ton mining district in the Deep
Creek country, is putting a force of
men to work to get out and ship a
lot of high-grade gold ore and to
develop and block out apparently
large bodies of low-grade, with a
view to providing a mill for their re,
duction, according to a Salt Lake
man who has interests in that re-
gion.
The first work is to be done in the
Tlverda section of the company's
holdings, adjoining the old Gold
Hill property. Years ago leasers
using a Crawford mill took from the
Alverda and another claim in that
vicinity from $150,0O0 to 5000, 900.
Years ago the mine belonged to
the wealthy eastern man from whom
it's name is derived. When he was
just on the point of putting in a mill
and pushing the mines production
he died. Litigation among the heirs
followed and lasted for years. After
this was ended there were two fac
tions among the owners, and it is
only recently that these troubles
have been healed and the plans for
working the mine agreed upon

ROCHESTER, ROAD EXTENDED

The terminus of the Silver Belt
railroad, built by A. A. Codd and ex-
tending from Oreana, on the South
ern Pacific main line, to the camp
of Rochester, is to be swung to the
foot of Rochester canyon, where ore
bins will be erected. The road will
then be extended up the canyon to
the foot of Lincoln Hill, a change
that will ~necessitate the addition of
a Shay engine to the rolling stock of
tie road.

NEW STRIKE AT NATIONAL

Late reports from the camp of
National, in northern Humboldt
county and not far from the Oregon
line, announce a rich strike" on the
Hines-Baldwin lease on the White
Rock property. A drift at a depth
of 400 feet is said to have exposed
high-grade ore, the pay-shoot vary
ing from a few inches to 5 u feet.
The ore is said to resemble that
taken from the famous National
mine.

MANGANESE ORE IN RUSSIA

Some of the richest deposits of
manganese ore are located in the
Russian Caucasus. The principal
mines are situated at Tchiatouri, in
the government of Kotais, about 1870
verts (126 miles, from the Black
sea ports of Batum and Poti. The
exploitation of the Tchiatouri mines
began in 1878, but remained on a
very limited scale until 1885, when
the Trans-Caucasian railway was
constructed. The ore is shipped to
England, Germany, the United
States, France and Belgium, and in
smaller quantities to other countries.
England, Germany and the United
States are the hest customers.
