THE CYANIDE PROCESS.

in the northwest and Ii quite well

southern California, writing TO the
Mining and Engineering World. says.
There is considerable evidence that
a healthy activity is springing up
among the silver gold mines and pros
poets In the regions surrounding the
deserts OF southern California, New
ada ana central and western Arizona.
Many OF the mines Of these regions
are planning to install small cyanide
plants ranging from 10 to 20-ton daily
capacity. Such plants. operated by
gasoline engines, can be erected at q
comparatively small cost and VIII
make high extraction Of the metals
as precipitate or bullion. which can
be marketed at small expense Tor
freight. The proceeds win provide the
funds for carrying on development
work and the plants will pioneer the
way for larger ones and increased OPP
erations.
There Is q field for the cyanide
treatment Of silver-gold ores which
carry high percentages Of copper IN
oxide and carbonate form and which
may be dissolved out by agitation IN
a dilute sulphuric acid solution. pre-
liminary to the cyanide treatment. the
copper dissolved out can be recovered
and in many cases forms substan-
tial part Of the marketable products.
Tests made for this double process
Of treatment show that after the as
ISOLATED copper Is leached out OF
silver-gold ore, and the pulp given
lime water wash to neutralize the
acid, the cyanide treatment will dis
solve out the gold and silver quickly
and efficiently.
These small treatment plants will
lead to Increased activity in mining
districts that have remained for years
dead because Of the ore being too low
grade to stand the high freight charges
necessary to bring It to market, and
not developed in sufficient large guam
titles to justify the expense Of the old
style treatment plants
The installation Of small cyanide
plants already begun In many local.
ties Is bound to have favorable ef-
feet on mining activity In the south
west, for with ordinary business care
unde- technical advice there need be
no failures.

"HICAGO, Jan. 21.-The an
nouncement that Russell Ford,

Americans, had signed a contract with
the Federal League was not given out
by the officials of the new baseball
organization. The information be
came public to-day through state
ment of B. B. johnson, president OF

Ford signed a Federal League con-
tract two or three days ago said
Johnson. Ed Willett, of Detroit
signed with the F'ederals before Ford
did Willett was on his way south
to start training with the Detroit
club when he met Mordecai Brown in
st. Louis and Brown induced him to
come with the Federals.
Il knew that Ford was flirting with
the Federals last week. | telephoned
President Farrell in New York and
gave him a chance to take steps TO
prevent Ford leaving New York. Far
rell did not seem much interested. He
said Ford's twoyear contract had ex-
pired and that no one in the Amer
lean or National League had been
particularly anxious to trade any
good players for Ford. Farrell said
Ford was not worth the $500 year
the New York club was paying him
and that he had several rows with

Ford did not want to do his share
of the pitching.
