>cooped ont from time to time and
this constitutes the so-called "con-
centrate"
The ore-cortaining water from
the frs, series of tables is then run
over another series and more but
lighter co. centrate is obtained.
Since the oil" or "hptation"
process has been added, the water
which runs off the second series OF
tables, is mixed with a small
quantity of oil and Is then sent to
agitators. which cause a foam to
form on top of the water. This
foam catches light and floating
particles of the metal. Mechani-
cal skimmers skim this foam off
into trough washed by a water
spray. The resultant product is
a concentrate containing the finest
particles the precious metals.
In the eva lie process it is nee
essary that the cyanide which dis
soIv the gold and silver, comes
in contact with every particle of
the metal. Since the metal is inn
bedded in the rock in fne particles,
as stated before. it is necessary at
the very beginning 10 crush and
pulverize the ore as fine as -four.
This pulveriZed ore mixed with
water carried to the cyanide tanks,
containing solution of two pounds
OF cyanide To a ton of water. The
ore solution runs into the tank in
the center, and as soon as it comes
into contact " 18th the cyanide the
6 I'D and silver particles are dis
solved. The balance of the ore
sinks into the bottom of the tank
IN the form of thick slime, while
the clear water at the top contain
ing the metal in solution runs off
through holes in the side OF the
tank at the top. This solution is
then run over metallic zinc which
precipita,es the gold and silver,
and this is cleaned ut of the box
about every two weeks and melt
ed into bullion ingots.
The water of the heavy slime at
the bottom also contains some OF
the metal. In order to extract
this the heavy solution is pumped
out of the bottom of the tank and
run onto large, slowly revolving
cylinder covered with cloth. A
vacuum or the inside of the cy1ln-
der sucks the water through and
the remaining mud on the outside
of the cloth is scraped off, while
the water is run over the metallic
zinc as stated before.
In the cyanide process, as l un-
derstand it, the copper or lead
cont aimed in the ore is not saved.
Hence ore containing a great deal
of copper, lead, etc, is more pro-
fitably treated by the stamping
process. Ore containing only gold
and silver can be more prohtahly
treated by tie cyanide process, as
this process extracts a greater
percentage of the metal.
The assayers, of whom there
are a number in every mining
community, test the ores before
hand and ascertain what metals
are contained in its richness.
While at the cyanide mill l saw
the casting of a bullion ingot Of
gold and silver mixed that valued
at about $500. These ingots are
sent to the. U. S. mint at Denver
where the gold and silver are sep
arated."

greatest and longest tunnel in the
world, which runs ward
through the mountains for nearly
five miles, tapping rich m ming
field in Gilpin county to the north
The ore is brought here through
the tunnel IN small ore cars drawn
by an electric engine. The ore is
treated here in the Argo mill To-
Gated at the mouth o. the tunnel,
botn the c, anide and the stamp
mill processes beng used.
At the western end of town is
located the big Five" tunnel,
which pierces the mountains for
a mile and half nor,hward. The
o brought III through the tunnel
is treated by the van ious reduction
mi Is, of which there are five in
Idaho Springs, running day and
night and Sundays continuously.
Ore is also brought in TO these
m,lls by teams, and wagons haul
ing loads of from five 10 six tons
of ore can continually be seen 60
ing through the town.
Que of the peculiarities of miner
al bearing ore is that the various
minerals tound-gold, silver. cop
per, iron, lead and some zinc are
embedded in the rock mostly IN
very fine specks and particles.
How these metals Gall of them
at times found IN the same rocky
got intermngled and become a
part OF the rock, is mystery
which l have not vet had time to
investigate. I do not wen know
whether this question has been ex-
planned by biologists or minerolo-
gists except by theoretical specu-
lation.
The work of reduction mills is to
get rid of the rock and retain the
particles of the metals. 1t would be
too expensive to ship the ore, as
it comes from TIL. nines. to the
smelters to have the metals extrac-
ted, hence these mills, which are
usually located as close to the mine
as possible, reduce the ore bv var
ious processes, and the resulting
product Is called Concentrates"
which is then shipped to the smell
ters for final treatment and sepa.
ration of the metals.
The processes used in reducing
the ore are the stamping 'fota.
ton" and "cyanide" process. Oh
late the .hotaticn or OIL process is
being added TO the stamp mills
and thus practically all or 80 pei
cent Of these particles are retained
The process of the stamp mil
is as follows: The ore, as it comes
from the mine ia run through
crushers and is then slowly ted
into the stamp mill. The stamps
consist OF heavy steel weights
lifted by cams and then fall Of
their own weight. These stamp:
weigh from five to seven hundred
pounds and their continuous fall
ing brushes the rock to a tine
powder. Water is rup into the
sta MI box and the pulverized ore
is carried off by the water and is
run over copper plate coated with
quicksilver. The plate and the
quicksilver catch the free gold
which is scrared off every twenty.
four hours. The balance of the
ore in solution is carried over
large slightly inclined tables with
shallow grooves and to which a
shaking motion is given. The
lighter particles of the ore are
carried off in the water at the low
est side of the tai lie while the
heavier parts, containing the met
ais. are shaken off at the end into
settling boxes. The settings are
