Oil Fzotation Process

ANONYMITY seems to characterize recent Contributions
to the technology of the flotation process, says Mining
and Scientific Press. We have published two useful az
ticles under he veil of occasional correspondence, and IN
this issne we give our readers, under the disguise OF spec1al
correspondence, a detailed description OF flotatlon Work III
Mexico. For this ~concealment OF names we nave no lh-
inc. nor. it is fair to add, have the clever technologists 10
whom we. and our readers, are indebted for so much time
" information. Such secrecy is the sequel to patent hl
CATION: i, is due neither to mock modesty nor to any inmate
love al the mysterious. Whether a decision in an import
ant case now under adjudication will lift the lid and ad-
init fresh air into the fog enveloping technical research
lnto ilotation, we do not know. We only hope.
Not that the latest phase of patent litigation over thls
process is to be debited with all the blame for the general
atmosphere of mystery and jealousy that has distorted the
technology of the subject during the last ten years. Apart
from the embargo imposed upon the publication OF 1h1or
nation, the protracted series of conflicts over patent r1Shts
has served to lessen the scientific value OF even the scah'y
evidence available, for it has creatd preJudlces ana inter
ests so strong as to vitiate the Judgment or hinder the pen
OF the few men willing to write on the subject. On the
other hand, it may be admitted that the preparation. OF
testimony for lawsuits and the cross-eXam1natlon Incl
dental to the giving of evidence IN open court nave server
to clarity the basic ideas underlying the process and its
application. Yet we are among many that have expressed
regret, repeatedly, that the leading protagonists OF f1ota-
ton, such, for example, as Messrs. Frank t1lmore ana Jonh
Ballot, should not have effected a compromise IN the early
stages of their controversy. Similarly, we think II a pity
that the more recent clash of interest between Minerals
Separation and its opponents should not nave been oDVial-
ed by reasonable concessions on both SIDES. IN DeIall u
the profession we express the plous wish that SOMEBODY
NAV evolve a scheme for rewarding an inventor without
taxing an industry.
It is not the royalty, or tax in money, that does the
injury, but the tax on knowledge. Secrecy is a thick
headed Waterman that obstructs the alert steps OF progress.
At the present time the amount OF unnecessary work Deing
done is pathetic, for experiments already tried and attempts
previously proved futile are being made in many laborator-
les, simply because there has been no publication OF the
results heretofore obtaind by other Investigators. S1mi,
ilarlv, useful hints for obviating recurrent difficulties anc
fertile suggestions for improving practice are withheld be-
cause of the scramble for obtaining dubious property rights
to ideas by aid of the patent office.

Nevada's per capita wealth is greater than in any other
nation or state in the world. Such a statement, taken by
itself, ought to be one of the best slogans for attracting
notice conceivable. 1t is true that one millionaire can
| ring up the average for 200, and that there are only about
10000 persons to work on, but there are few cities of SO 900
that can boast as many millionaires as can Nevada. The
influence of concentrated wealth on the Der capita wealth
works in other communities as well as in Nevada. Dire
poverty is unknown in Nevada. We hear of no persons
starving to death as in some of the eastern communities,
or freezing to death or committing suicide in poverty.
There is more chance for effort, more recognition for
ability, more natural resources unmonopolized in Nevada
than in any other state.-Neva Democrat.

The notes to Germany are becoming more and more
unBryanic.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1915-07-31

The San Francisco Bulletin recently published an al
legged news item relating how a Nevada miner found 81 ore
on the surface and at a depth of ninety feet it assayed $40 50
a ton. This ratio, if kept up, would produce solid gold at a
depth of 800 feet. But the most remarkable feature of the
Bulletins story is that "the deep tunnel is in anthracite,
which is a gold formation" The Nevada miner has 'em
all skinned in the matter of getting values from the dark
meat.

Denver Mining Record: Slowly but surely the de-
mand for investments in western mines is growing. I'M
proved financial conditions throughout the country,
coupled with the great advance in the price of metals, has
made mining investments the favOrlte over all other
classes. Silver is low, but the best posted authorities are
ii the opinion that this low price of the white metal IS only
temporary. The big silver producing companies are not
worried, however, for in the majority of cases they have
a good cash surplus on hand and are storing the metal
waiting for the improvement in price which is sure TO
come shortly. The Tonopah Mining Company OF Nevada,
in it's report for the last quarter, makes mention OF the
fact that it has over 100000 in bullion in storage. The
Tonopah mine, a big silver producer, put Nevada back on
the map in a big way in the early part OF 1901. Prior to
the discovery of the camp of Tonopah Nevada as a mining
region was dead, Exploration companies seeking mining
properties wanted nothing in that state. In the old days
The Comstock mines made a worlds record, and more re-
Gently Tonopah and Goldfield mines have done likewise.
Nevada now has a new galaxy of later-day stars. Ne
vada is in the l~imelight, and while Tonopah and other
camps may suffer temporarily because of the low price of
silver. they nevertheless will have their red-letter days at
a later period when silver again comes into its own.

EDDYTORIUL

Last Sunday in the Bingville
church at morning services Rev.
Sam1 Moore, our beloved paster,
preeched a red hot sermon from
the follering text: 1T Is More
Blessed to Give Than to Receive"
Personally we admire Rev.
Moore, our paster-we admire ennv
man who kin manage to exist a tall
when his flock is back ennywheres
from one to three yrs on his salery
all the time-but as we set there
and lissend to his sermon last Sab
bath we couldn't help but take some
excepshion to what he preeched on
the above text and the thort come
to us that this same text from
which he preeched from would
make tt1rrible good subieckt for
edditoriul in the Bugle, so here
goes:
Rev. Moore argood that It is al
lus more blessed to give than to
receive, no matter what the circum-
stances is, and that when a person
slaps you on the right cheek instid
of pickin up the nearest weppin
you can git your hand on and hit
tin EN- a wallop on the head with
same, you should turn your tother
cheek to EN- and say in a meek
voice, please hit me on the left
cheek also"
F.; 1t seems to us that if person
would smash us belt on our right
cheek we would do enuf if we
could keep from knockin the pack
in outen him right then and there
and wipin up the erth with him, SO
to speak, instid of turnin our left
cheek to him to be belted also. If
he was about our own size or less
it would take turrible lot of self
command to keep from givin SIGH 4
Iperson a dog-blamed good thrashin
let alone turnin our left cheek to
him to be smacked.
AS edditor and prop of the Bing-
vile Bugle we can think up several
INSTANCES from our standpoint
when it is a good cal more blessed
er to receive than it is to give. If
1t is more blessed to give four or
1--WE yrs back subscripshion to some
