CHICAGO, ILL.,, June s.-From
sources closest to Theodore Roosevelt
it was learned late last night that
the following is the result of their
canvass of Republican delegates;
Hughes, according to the estimate
of the Roosevelt manager, will have
230 votes on the first ballot. His
maximum strength on any subse-
quent ballot will be 800. This vote
cannot be increased unless he should
obtain the support of Senator PEN
rose, of Pennsylvania, which Hughes
lacks at present.

The Boulder tungsten boom is the
most sound and the biggest thing that
has come to Colorado in years and it
must be fostered to it's fullest fruition.
The prices now quoted are almost 10
times the rates paid one year ago,
nearly 1000 per cent gain in a year
The impetus that this has given to
mining cannot be appreciated by those
who have not visited the district. It
is taking proportions as great and as
stirring as the great Leadville strikes
of years ago or the more recent Grip
pie Creek BOOM The coming sum-
mer will undoubtedly witness the re-
enactment of the exciting occurrences
of the boom days of those two great
camps, with however this difference,
that there will be more of material
substance and less of speculative ag-
itation in this 1916 boom.

The Flotation Process
Engineering and Mining JournaD

their pens, and the literature of the
subject is at last growing in useful
and authoritative way. There Is nc
doubt that henceforth it will increase
rapidly.
After all, flotation is not such a
mysterious subject as many pretend
1t Is simply a species of mechanical
concentration. AS compared with or
binary processes, it is what was char
acterized in the Journal Of 1907, in de-
scribing flotation as then practiced al
Golconda, New, as concentration up
side down." In ordinary methods the
valuable mineral Is caused to sink. In
flotation it is caused to rise. The
great advantage of the latter method
lies in its DEVIATION of the slime prob
lem, historically troublesome. Ore is
now deliberately slimed, at all events
crushed very finely, and the minerals
to be separated are thereby fully re-
leased, which, together with other
features of the process, enables a
phenomenally high recovery to be
made. The advantage of the process Is
measured by the raising of the old
percentage of extraction in ore dress
ing, IS to rs per cent to the present
day figures of IS to 95 per cent.
So far, the flotation process has
been practiced chiefly in conjunction
with the older methods of mechanical
concentration; that is, the ore is
crushed relatively coarsely and jigged
and tabled in the ordinary way, the
middlings or tailings are both being
then reground and treated in the flo
tation apparatus. 1t is probable that
the next development will be to treat
all of the ore by the flotation process
When that comes about, the troubles
of the smelters in treating fine ore will
really begin.

FRANCE BUYS sPELTER.

France has started to buy spelter In
large quantities and the market for
prime western brands has strengthen
ed perceptibly with spot sales as high
as 20 cents pound. Business for
Ithird-quarter delivery has been book
ed at Tx cents.
Buying has appeared from foreign
and domestic consumers and calls for
shipment further ahead than at any
previous period.
The constant addition to the manu-
featuring equipment of plants being
devoted to turning out ammunition
and war equipment in England and
France will call for steadily growing
tonnages of spelter as well as copper
and the United States will furnish all
these requirements.
Production of spelter has not quite
reached the peak according to some of
the largest factors as addition to the
smelters have not yet been completed.

The sensation of the day in mining
and metallurgy Is the phenomenal sue
cess of the flotation process. intro
duced as an adjunct to the older meth
DDS of milling, the percentage of ex-
! traction of valuable minerals from ore
has been raised in remarkable way
and many ores that previously could
not be exploited at all have now been
rendered commercial.
Owing to the bane of deadly liti-
cation over the flotation process, the
mouths of the mill men practicing the
new art have in the main been closed
One result of this has been that the
press has been full of sensational and
misleading statements about flotation
statements which could not be au-
thoritatively corrected. The woods are
full of so-called mill experts whose
sole equipment is a can of oil and a
stirring device. Not long ago a mine
in the Rocky mountains, which previ-
ously had failed to command any at
tention, was sold on the strength of
flotation experiments that required
one hour to make.
According to the idea of the gullble
public, you break down your ore in
the mine and mix it with oil and acid
and the trick is done But that is not
so. 1t is complicated art. The mill
man wants data about this art, not a
collection of flowery phrases, merely
explaining that flotations means that
minerals are floated. The mill man
wants to know fully and in detail how
flotation is applied to individual ores.
Fortunately, some mill men who
have had experience in the practice of
flotation and have no property inter
ests that might be endangered by
lawsuits are now beginning to take up

After 3, Wall street puts on its hat

clerks, stenographers and bookkeepers
to straighten out the tangles and clean
up the mess which the days business
has brought. There is little time for
telephone talk; everybody wants to get
home, and in consequence the number
of calls declines sharply up to 6, then
fades away for the rest of the night.

Wall street comes to work late; the

is anxious TO establish standard of
prices whereby the big consumer may
be able to place their orders with as
surance of their fulfllment, and the
matter is not so much a question of
the advance or depression of price as
1t is of fixed market. However, the
steel works, almost without exception
are unsuppied even for the present
requirements, and there Is no reserve
held In any place In the country. This
condition naturally makes the market
nervous and frequently inducive of
such a furry as this which made the
big advance at this time The fact
seems probable that prices must add
vance to a higher figure before any
such desirable stability of market shall
prevail. Certain it Is that the big
agencies have no longer the ability to
control the market quotations for the
double reason that the buying agencies
and milling facilities are now so num-
erous and the steel and other manu-
facturers are evidencing an inclina
ton to buy of the Independents.
The Primes, as the biggest produc-
er and the agency with widest scope,
has acted as a steadying influence
throughout the development of the
boom in tungsten. 1t has led in ad-
vancing prices paid to the indepen-
| dent mines and its basis of leasing
contracts on it's own extensive terri
tory have been liberal and definitely
defined in contracts which have en-
abled it to avoid all friction with its
lease operators. One of the most un.
satisfactory conditions in the tungsten
district has been the discomfort which
arose from more or less arbitrary pol
ices asserted by the Wolfe Tongue
