PROGRESS AT LUDWICI|

sulphuric acid is used again and
again.
Already the mill has started, and
is grinding out ore for the heap leach
ing, which is part of the scheme OF
treatment.
The electric fixation furnace is rap
idly being put into commission, and
will soon be vigorously robbing the
air of the nitrogen and oxygen re-
quired to replace the small though
constant losses incident to the opera
ton of that part of the plant in which
nitric acid is used as a solvent.
The production of nitric acid will
mark the beginning of the treatment,
in which the acid is used upon sui
phide ores and regenerated as the
nitric oxide passes into the absorp-
ton towers.
The apparatus used in the nitric acid
treatment is completed in all details
and ready for use. 1t consists essen
TALLY of closed vessel, or digestor,
in which sulphide ore is added to nj
tic acid, and set of absorption tow
ers in which the acid is regenerated.
The digestor has been previously tried
out on commercial scale by the men
who developed its detail, and the alb
sorption system is an adaptation from
current German and English prac-
tice; so that the company does not
anticipate hindrance to the successful
operation of its plant, even from this
part of its process, a part, which to
some may seem the most uncertain
department of the teaching scheme
adopted by the company.
Summing up. the plant is. now al
most finished, in part it is successfully
in operation 1t has been carefully de
signed and the metallugical concep-
tons have been worked out in pains
taking detail, in such way that while
every part of the treatment interlocks
with all others, yet none are alto
gether dependent on the successful op-
Grafton of any part of the whole.

AURIFEROUS AURORA

According to the Hawthorne Bulle-
tin, the Aurora Consolidated Com
pany's mill is treating more ore than
at any time in its history, $50 tons be
ing about the average daily run. This
together with an increase in the value
OF the ore and the cheaper handling
of the same, has placed this com
pany among the dividend payers, and
a substantial amount will be forth
coming at the end of OF the present
quarter as bullion tax, which will be
the first that they have paid. At
present l42 men are employed in the
mine and mill, but the mine is now
opened up to such an extent that it
is probable that ten men will be taken
out of the mine before long.

have recently transpired. Thus it is
well kown that recent refining con-
tracts have been made at $40 per ton.
whereas SIS was formerly regarded
as fine price. Moreover, although
the British embargo on crude copper
was lifted under certain conditions.
the unusual disparity between the
prices for electrolytic and standard
has continued, showing that reiners
are not in position to buy standard
freely. Finally it is matter of more
or less common knowledge that sew
cral copperproducing companies are
having 10 pile up blister copper in con-
sequence of inability to have it re-
fined
AT the beginning of 1915 the electro
lytic-rehning capacity of the United
States was about 14S million pounds
per month. At the middle of 1915 it
was about l52 million pounds. The
new construction that is now going
on will raise it to 164 million pounds,
but this will not be attained until the
end of the year, and it may be that
the new plant at Great Falls will not
be ready until 1916. Included in the
foregoing figures is the small capacity
about FIVE million pounds per month
for electrolytic Lake copper.-Engi-
neering and Mining Journal.

Recent progress on the Nevada
Douglas Consolidated Copper Com
pay teaching plant has been rapid, and
construction days are drawing to their
close.
The tall red mill building, now com
pleted, seems to symbolically stand
for an early renewal OF those vigorous
days at Ludwig when the services of
four hundred men were required to
blast out the ores for shipment to the
reduction works. Again ore is to be
broken, but this time the ore will not
be shipped; this time the values are
to be extracted on the company's
property, and the shipments are to

The series of tanks, big and little,
rectangular, round and square, with
the black painted launders connecting
them, are ready for the separate uses
they were designed for. whether to
hold stock solutions, corrosive acids,
to wash the treated pulp, or to act as
teaching apparatus.
The long black flume strung along
side the railroad track is ready for
tin cans, European plough shares and
other forms of scrap iron necessary
in the precipitation of the copper from
the liquors drained from the treated
ores.

LINCOLN LEASERS

Frank Wilson, who with Murray
Scott, discovered the ledges that re
suited in the mining strike at Cold
Springs, and which has been christ
ened Lincoln, was in town Sunday
He states that work is being ac-
lively prosecuted for the develop
ment of the district Six leases have
been let on the property and are now
working a vertical shaft on the
Crawford lease has reached a depth
OF forty-six feet and an incline on
the ledge is being driven on the Carl
lease and is now down fifty feet,
Comisford and Bergstrom are driv-
ing a tunnel to cross-cut the coun-
try and the face is now in ledge mat
ter and should cut the pay streak
within the next ten feet.
In all about a dozen men are en-
ployed at the new camp. While the
work now being done is practically
all preliminary to later ore extrac-
tion, about one hundred and fifty
tons OF high grade milling ore have
been taken out incident to develop
ment work No attempt has been
made 10 sort the ores taken out so
far, as it is not the intention of the
leasers to attempt shipment, unless
possibly from exceptionally high
grade streaks. Negotiations are now
pending for the construction of mill
of about l25 tons daily capacity, in
cluding tube mill and cyanide plant.
All the equipment will be new and
will embody the latest discoveries in
economical reduction of the ores on
the ground.
Messrs Scott and Wilson have real
lied from the first that their was not
a phenomenal high-grade proposition
OF jewelry rock, but an immense body
their energies toward providing for
milling facilities to handle the ton
mage that can be broken down III
practically unlimited quantities and
with a minimum amount of labor, ow-
ing to the favorable situation of the
outcrop, which as before stated, juts
out from the main range and is ac-
cessible from all sides. With an
abundance of water for all purposes
the new camp is unusually favored
and is in striking contrast To the ma
jority OF mining discoveries in the des-
ert country.-Churchill Standard.

Up to about a fortnight ago there
were two views respecting copper
among producing and selling interests
one bullish, the other bearish. 1t is
unnecessary now to discuss the rea-
sons for the bullish view. The bear
ish was based chiefly upon the enor-
mously increased production, the
weight Of which was considered bound
to tell. Consumers also held This
view and deferred further purchases,
even requesting producers to antici-
pate contractural deliveries, with the
expectation that later they would be
able to buy copper much cheaper.
Recently there was change of
opinion among those selling interests
that previously had been bearish. The
reasons for this were two-a growing
belief that the military use of copper
is much greater than previous esti
mate, no matter how large; and the
perception that regardless of the in
crease in production, refining capacity
imposes limit that cannot be over
stepped 1t is significant that there is
but little additional refining capacity
in. preparation, the only important
construction of this kind being at Ia
coma and Great Fall.
Confirmation of this theory is to be
found in several important things that

$5,000,000 Wheat Loss

Missouri farmers have suffered FIVE
million dollar decrease in the 1915
wheat yield, according 70 careful crop
reports and estimates made by W. l..
Nelson, Assistant Secretary Of the Mis-.
souri State Board Of Agriculture.
Other authorities estimate the loss at
twice this amount, but all agree that
immediate steps must be taken to pre-.
vent an even greater loss next year.
A Hessian fly determination cam
paign should now be pushed vigorous
ly for the purpose OF saving next years
crop from the ravages Of the pest.
The fly should be attacked in the old
wheat stubble and the volunteer wheat
should be buried deeply beneath the
soil by plowing and narrowing.
Every county iu the state, infested
with the Hessian hy, should be orga-
nized for d complete destruction OF the
pest. Every farm bureau, farmers
union, grange, anti-horse thief associ-
alton, and local organization, as well as
all county officers and township officers,

Hogs Make Cheap Corn HarVesters

1t will pay TO hog down corn. This
has been shown by the Missouri Agri-
cultural Experiment Station aud has

Der Of feeders.
The main advantages are: (l) the
hogs make more rapid and more
economical gains; (2) it saves the
labor Of harvesting; (3) the manure is
returned TO the land without loss and
without labor; (4) the place Of feed
ing is more sanitary than the ordinary
feed lot; (5) the grain is harvested
without waste.
Eleven trials with hogging down
corn at the Missouri Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station have shown that there
is no better way Of finishing hogs than
by allowing them to do their own har.
yesting. To be profitable, however,
the practice must be rightly managed.
The hogs should be given access al
one time, to what they will clean ur
in ten day, or two weeks. This in
sures fresh forage and they will clear

For best results the hogs doing

corn field that is to be harvested. If
no such crops have been planted a
small amount Of some feed like tank

There Still Plenty Of Room Taney County for Good Enterpng Citizens

The field work to be done in this CO
operative campaign has been outlined
by the College Of Agriculture.
(l) Plow wheat stubbIe just a;
deeply as possible and harrow thorough
| ly. This will bury the insects in the
dormant faxseed stage and cover them
with such a fine surface mulch that
lew oil them will escape.
(2) Destroy all volunteer wheat in
order that the flies which do escape
may be starved to death before the
regular fall sown crop is available.
The flies deposit their eggs in the
grooves ithe leaves Of the wheat plant,
but rarely use any other small grain in
this way. Volunteer wheat left unde
stroyed may be as dangerous to other
wheat as a case Of smallpox, not prop
erly quarantined, is TO the remainder
Of the community.
(3) Do not SOW until the flies are
dead. Delay as long as possible, with
out danger Of reducing the yield, by
preventing the wheat from being
we'll established in the soil before win
ter, This lengthens the period dur
ing which the flies are beng starved.
The safe date in northern Missouri is
October /, in the central part Of the
state October 8, and in the southern
third October 10.
(4) Sow as lar as possible from
fields which have been in wheat in
1915, in order that it may be as diff
cult as possible for flies 10 reach the
new field.
(5) Use oats or rye for fall pasture,
instead OF wheat. The oats will not
feed the fly and enable it 10 live un-
til the fall sown wheat is available and
the fly attacks rye very slightly.
(6) Good seed, fertile soil and a
properly prepared seed bed aid in Sc
curing strong, vigorous, healthy plants
which will be better able 10 resist the
attacks Of the Hessian fly.
% Every farmer in the cornmun-
ity must adopt these measures, il the
best results are 10 be secured. One
man who sows early and allows volun
teer wheat to remain undestroyed,
may establish an infestation from which
enough flies will spread by wing and
wind, to destroy all his neighbors'
wheat crops within hall mile. When
they have destroyed his early sown
wheat, they will seek that which was
sown later, and is still grean and fresh.
Most Of these control measures
should be part Of all good Missouri
wheat raising, even il the Hessian fly
did not make them more desirable.
They add little or nothing TO the ex-
pense oI growing the crop but greatly
increase the yield.
The failure OF farmers to cooperate
and the unusually warm October wealth
er in 1914 made the eradication oil the
fly especially difficult last fall. Only
once was the freezing point reached
before November IA, so the fly had
the same opportunity to work in Nov
ember which it ordinarily has during
October. and the effectiveness Of the
measures taken was greatly reduced.
