took the additional steps and made de- vices to froth tho oil in the ore pulp and found that they could extract more metals at a lower cost than ever be- fore
 An oil 1otation process is one where valuable mineral is induced to float from the pulverized ore mass composed Of valuable and worthless minerals. and the most successful type is that where a froth of the right kind to carry with it the valuable minerals is formed on the top of the water containing this ground ore pulp.
 If the right kind of oil he stirred into such pulp. it will attach itself only to certain kinds of valuable minerals and separate them from the worthless. , ticles of mineral, so it is necessary to grind the ore exceedingly fine if all the valuable minerals are to he extracted This grinding is called "sliming" the ore, because when ground like flour and wet it feels "slimey." By older methods the millmen were able to re- als from the shines which accumulate | in grinding the ore for treatment. thus causing a loss sufficient at times to make the difference between a paying | and losing milling proposition The | Notation treatment avoids this loss. l
 | Throughout all the mining sections
 of the west are enormous deposits of
 ore of grade so low that it does not | pay 10 WOIk IT, or so FSldlllLC' lllA | I it must be slilned before the valuable
 minerals can be separated from the
 worthless. The dumps of mines con
 tain millions of tons of ore which may. if slimed and treated by oil Notation,
 be made to pay
 | In commercial practice the pulp as the mines call the ground ore carried in water, flows through a trough into a tank, and as it falls, small quantities of oil treated with proper acid are in- jected The contents of the vat are | raDidly stirred or beaten, like eggs for
 a custard, by a mechanical device, and air is forced in at the bottom of the
 tank, forming an oily scum or studs,
 which is swept by a moving arm into
 a side trough.
 The residium of the ore pulp flows into the next tank, where the operation
 is repeated; and so on through the
 series of three or four tanks. All the scum is collected, the oil extracted for further use, and the concentrates sent ! to the shelter
 An estimate of the value of this proc.
 ess may be made, based upon the re- lDorted agreement between copper company of Montana and another com. pany which holds patents under whicf the copper company is operating it.

and silver supplanted the older meth ods and gave a positive value to low grade ores, but now it must, for some purposes at least, yield to the oil fota- tion process, which has been in use for several years and saved millions and millions of dollars.
 The Colorado Scientific Society, the western press and mining interests are searching in every possible way for woman, that they may reward her, if living; or erect a fitting memorial to her honor if she has passed away; but no trace of her has been found.
 Thirty-fve years ago there lived in Denver, Col, an assayer by the name of Everson, engaged then in the prac- took to his home concentrates in small sac acks made of heavy muslin. His sis ter, Miss Carrie J. Everson, who was school teacher by profession, so the story runs, had joined her brother at Denver, and was making her home with him. Very little is known of her. except that she was keen minded and | took a great interest in her brothers work. It is also said that she had i reached an age and acquired such a reputation for punctilious cleanliness 1 that she was sometimes called a prim old maid.
 * * l Be that as it may, she undertook to
 keep her. brothers things spotIessIy | clean; and when she saw that the sack in | which he carried the samples had be- | come soiled by contact with oil on which
 dirt had settled, she promptly put them to | soak in a tub of water. A little film of i oil came gradually to the surface, and l she was completely staggered when she saw in it traces which, thanks to her brothers teaching, she knew to be gold
 She could hardly believe her eyes, for it i seemed to her impossible that gold, which she knew to be nearly twice as heavy as lead, could float. Nevertheless, there was
 the precious yellow metal-which she cor
 recty surmised had come in minutely
 small quantities from the interstices Ci
 the sacks-resting quietly on top of the water.
 It is not recorded whether she thought
 that, like the axe of Elijah on the waters
 of Jordan, a miracle had taken place, but
 what she really had seen was the particles
 of oil in the film gold themselves about
 the still smaller particles of gold whicI
 possess the peculiar quality of attracting
 the oil to and about them. The specific gravity of the resulting tiny mass beins
 less than that of the water, it floated tC 1 the surface, to the great amazement e 1 the cverparticular school mistress.
 Apparently the possible value of thi ! accidental discovery, although not real ized, was suspected; for Miss Eversol

N WAR cannot be waged by men
 M alone: They must be helped A and encourag ged by the women.
 Perhaps in no other warning country have the women done so much as in Germany. They seem willing and capable of doing almost every kind of work that is done by a man.
 In all the continental countries of Europe, even in times of peace, the peasant women have done much hard work that is considered mans work in America. In the rural districts they blow and till the soil, load hay into the wagons and carry great bundles of sticks for the fires.
 In Munich there have always been woman switch turner's, and most of the street cleaners are women. These wom- en dress in Tyrolean costumes and look almost jaunty with a bright feather sticking in their caps.
 In Vienna the peasant girls have al- ways helped to build houses, mixing the mortar and carrying hods up the steep ladders.
 But since the war there has sprung up in Germany a new class of women, known as die frauen i'm yerkehrselben or the women of the life in trade These women are not peasants, but a class of women and girls who are willing and brave enough to do the work man should dc. to fill up the gaps made by the men who are on the battlefield It IS through their aid and cooperation that t is possible for the business life of the big cities to be carried on
 The men who have as yet not been called to war have in the most cases been detailed to other work, for there is an immense amount of building going on in Berlin. Among other thinEs there is being built a new un- dergI ound railway, that will connect the two main centers of the great city, Inter den Linden and Leipsiger strasse. It runs under Friederich strasse, one of the main streets of the city. Another large building that is going up is an addition to the univer- sity.
 The first in the group of the Frauen I'm Verkehrs1eben is the street car con- ductor or the schafTnerIn She stands on the platform of the cars all day long, just as the men do, and she rings up the fares and calls out the streets. This Is really the best paying job of all I'm Verkehrsleben, because in Germany 1t is customary to tip the street car conductors pfennigs Ca little over a cent), especially if you ask many questions or get a transfer. It Is easy to see how the tips will mount up in a day, and the schaffnerin carries a black bag with two pockets, one for the fares and the other for the tips
 It is rather a cold job, for the Ger man street cars are not inclosed as in

WASHINGTON, D. C., @ 7 MING interests at this time, lMM when Europe is calling for S 9 zinc and lead. are concerned over the oil Notation process of eN- tracting the uttermost pennyweight of these metals, as well as gold and sil- ver from their native ores.
 It seems a very singular thing that, without interfering with the laws of specific gravity, these heavy metals can be induced to float upon the sur face Of the ore pulp merely by the in troduction of a little oil into the mix ture.
 If one had to find a needle in a hay stack his task would be difficult, al- though perhaps not impossible; but to extract from ton of ore the frac- tion of an ounce of gold distributed throughout its bulk is impossible with out the aid of the chemist
 The cyanide process of treating gold

 for extracting gold and ether metals very fortunately "other metals" for the process applies equally to low grade ores of silver. copper, zinc and lead. These patents have long since expired; otherwise they would have a value which would make Midas pale with envy.
 **
 The patentee seems to have made some effort to test her process on commercial scale; for apparently she attempted with one Criley, at Baker City, Ore, to extract gold from ores after they had been pulverized to a powder, but while successful in re- covering the precious metal, the process, as applied by them, required so much oil that they abandoned the enterprise on account of the expense.
 Her primitive method provided no way of Iessening the quantity of oil or of recovering a sufficiently large per centage of it to put the operation on an economical basis.
 Had she only gone a step or two farther she might have floated the gold to the surface with the use of only a quart of oil to a ton of ore. All she had to do was to make roth or the mixture by stirring apparatus or by iniecfing air under pressure heavy enough to make bubbles. These steps if taken, should have made her one of the wealthiest women in the world. The later history or Miss EVeTs0n i,sS9ll. IFS ls 1 efforts to follow her course after she ! left Baker City, which she did soon after the failure of the business ven- ture with Criley, no trace of her has been discovered.
 | Some assert that she went to Cali | fornia, but while that may be so, fl 1 she did no one knows what part oi that large state she went to or what | became Of her after she reached it. II she has died, which seems probable, a: | otherwise she would surely claim tho honor of her great discovery, no rec | ord has been found to prove it. So 1 unless the present agitation brings new | information, the location or end of thi! | lady will remain a mystery.
