Treatment of Quicksilver Ores

We have repeatedly m these col umes called attention to the large quiclVsilVer deposits north of Phoenix, and also to their successful deVel- upment and treatment of the ores. Now comes a practical wet method uI treating ores containing cinnabar. and moreover. il appears to be q great success, not alone in it's perfect extraction. but it's very low cost en- abling ores of small metal contents to be treated successfully.
 The following article on the Wet Method of Mercury Extraction" ap- peared in the the Mining and Scieni- fic Press of June 3 and is written by r. Bryant TnUrnhiH The article is shorn of chemical equations and symbols.
 Little has been done in recent years on the metallurgy of mercury except in improving the furnaces for distiuation and the condensers, G. " Northey used water concentration at the AlanzaniJa mine for some time and reports success. Clifford G. Dennis recently made some tests on qoating cinnabar and got good re- suits. considering the crude apparatus used. The small profits of the busi- ness however. except to those hay

New Cornelia

Calumet, Mich.-Very satisfactory results are being obtained from the use of the 40-ton experimental con centrating plant at the New Cor nelia, according to local directors and men associated with the Calumet & Arizona, which is behind the New Cornelia proposition. The capitalists interested in New Cornelia propose to rush development of this property so as to putt it on q producing basis as quickly as possible. New Cor nelia has q large hill or small noun tain which comprises its ore body. most of it being above surface. The concentrating plant is located at its base.
 Calumet & Arizona has brought production up fully to normal, ac- cording to the Calumet offices of the company.

A Diversity of Valuable Minerals in
 the Shattuck- Arizona

It has been known for some time that vanadium ore had been located in the Shattuck mine. but il is sur rrising to learn that the estimated value of this deposit-the ore now actually in sight-is more than s. 100000 This information is official. and the company aimed 10 make the estimate conservative There are more than 5000 tons of the vanadium ore. assaying 10 per cent vanadium oxide. and worth. at present price. more than $3.000.00O The chemists of the Shattuck company are per fecting a method. or process. of ex- tracting the metal from these ores.
 The Shattuck surely is fortunate in the diversity and quality of its mineral resources. It has not sus- pected that the report of finding vanadium on this mine was of more than passing interest. or that the tonnage was anything like that which is now announced. The Shattuck is
Arizona republican., 1915-06-13

essentially copper mine, but it has extensive tonnage of gold and silver ore, lead ore and Vanadium ore The property has never been in as good shape physically as at present, and development work constantly dis closes additional ore reserves. The company is shipping 400 tons daily to the Calumet X Arizona shelter at Douglas. Ariz.. and on the present price of electrlytic is making a net profit of -$5.50 per share per year. The mine has gold. lead and vana- earnings at any time.
 In the past some people have criti- cized the Shattuck management for not marketing copper when the me- tai was down around 12c. Time has established that the management was conserving the best interests of the stockholders. This suggests that D. C. Jackling is quoted as saying few days ago that at the present rate the world is using copper there are not known sources of supply in existence capable of meeting the worlds requirements for the next twenty years"
 Shattuck conserved it's ore when prices were low, and is now in posi- ton to make large profits on it's cop per production, with gold, lead and vanadium for additional earnings

phide to obtain metallic mercury. The hydrogen sulphide formed by dissolv- ing the zinc sulphide was used to regenerate the sodium sulphde solu- ton. The sodium sulphide solution Was destroyed each time it went to precipitation and was regenerated by introducing the hydrogen sul- phide formed when dissolving the zinc sulphide with sulphuric acid The mercury was obtained from solu- ton as the sulphide and was retorted with lime and iron.
 Where the cost of mining is low Mullhoiland estimated that mercury ores as poor as 0.3 per cent could be worked at Profit by this process
 No commercial application of this process has ever been made to my knowledge. The Buffalo Mines at Cobalt, of which T. R. Jones is gen eral manager, is at the present time using wet method to recover mer- cury as sulphide from amalgamation tailing. This should be equally ap- plicable to cinnabar ores. The mer- curic sulphide is dissolved out of the tailing with sodium sulphide and the mercury precipitated on scrap aluminium. From the equation, II pounds of mercury should be precipi- tated with one pound aluminium Practically the ratio is about II. as some hydrogen is given off during the precipitation. not only is the sodium sulphide combined with the mer- curic sulphide regenerated, but the sulphur with tho mercuric sulphid1e goes tc form sodium sulphide. The caustic soda is regenerated by the addition of lime which also assists settling or filtration. These points have all been verified hy laborat tory experiments and actual practice. With clean cinnabar ore the mercury would he obtained wholly in the flmd form without retorting. and by straiEing through canvas it would be made readg for market.
 Over 10000 pCunds. of mercury has been recovered by the Buffalo mines by this process at a cost of approxi- mately F ce1's per pound. The ar plicability of the process to cinnabar ores cannot be questioned. both as regards cost and recovery and il should obviate most Sf the difficui ties inherent in the dfstillation meth cd. The cost of installation should rot exceed $500 per ton of capacity. Since standard cyanide machinery can be used. crushers, pebble mills, Dorr classifiers, thickners. etc. the plant could he erected in a minimum time and mercury could be placed oH the market in ,hree to four days after the plant was put in operation.
 The mercury produced at the Buff falo mines by this process was as saved by Ledouse X Co, who re- ported silver only in determinable quantities. The sodium sulphide used costs SIPS per cut f. 0. b. chemical works, for the commercial crystals and the aluminium for precipitation consists of casting foundry turnings. costing S2.5O per cut. f. O.

Copper

A representative of one of the three largest copper interests in the world said today that there has de- veloped a new big buying wave for the metal. without any appreciable increase in the supply. Conservative producers are still trying to hold the metal down. but are experiencing great difficulty. IL is stated that the long distance prospect is for con- tinued demand for copper in excess of the producing facilities
 N. Y.-It is learned that one of the largest copper producing interests has been doing q large business in the metal the last few days. Domes- tic orders were taken at the pre- vailing level, 19 cents. while foreign contracts were closed at slightly above that figure.
 Copper exports fer May was 2s,884 tons. against 31.94s in May 1914 It is very probable that copper will be up to 20c by the time this is in print

Mascot Openinu

The completion of the Mascot and Western Railroad, which will connect by rail, the workings of the Mascot Copper Company with the smelters Is an era in the copper mining his tory of northern Cochise county From all advices the Mascot has an immense tonnage blocked out of low grade copper ore. This they can treat at a profit with rail connection and on June 15 the last spike will be driven to complete that connection.
 On that day the. officers, directors and stockholders of the company have arranged for a monster cele- bration to be held at Mascot. A great many mining men and others, interested in the new camp will make the trip.

Copper and Lead Advance

Prices quoted at New York for both copper and lead were advanced yes terday to their highest levels of eight years.
 Makers of galvanized sheets are quoting $4.50 to s4.75 for immediate acceptance compared with S425 on Wednesday,
 large copper agency marked up the price of electrolytic copper to 19h cents a pound, from a previous ly ruling price of IS, and as compar- ed with q low-record price for 1915 of F 3-4 cents
 The American Smelling &s Refining Company advanced the price of lead from cents to 520 A week ago the price was 4.50; earlier in the year it was 3.671A. Both copper and leaG are now at their highest quotations since before the panic of 1907
 An encouraging feature of the ad- vance in copper. it was pointed out yesterday, is the revival of domestic buying. After remaining out of the market for some time, it had been confidently expected that consumers in this country would soon begin to supply their requirements. Quickly responsive to sentiment. the copper market appears to have shared in the optimistic feeling which resulted from the decision in the Steel suit
 The Inspiration Consolidated Cop per Company, after nearly five years preparation, will start it's mammoth mill at Miami and begin the actual production of copper metal on a commercial scale early this month. says the New York Mining Age
 Simultaneously, the new smeltei just completed at Miami, and only a mile distant from the Inspiration and Miami Copper Company mills, has it's first trial run with very satisfae- tory results.
 The Inspiration mill consists of IS sections, each of a capacity of 800 tons per day. The mill will have a total rated capacity of 14,4O0 tons per day, and it is expected that the actual capacity may exceed the rated ca pacity in which event the actual output may be between 15,000 and 10000 tons. The first nine of the IS mill sections have been cor1pleted and almost entirely equipped Sev- eral of them will be in active opera tion this month, and all nine will be ill full operation about August ac- cording to plans of the company
 The Inspiration Consolidated Cop per Company, when in full operation. will turn out about 3750oO pounds of the red metal daily.

1t is necessary that the number of
the members making the trip be
known as soon as possible. Some
more machines are needed, also, to
carry the crowd. The members should
notify Secretary James NJ. Fulton at
once Of their intentions, and those
who will have their cars for use that
night are asked to let him know inn
mediately. If possible.
The retailers have invitations from
