urating With water 1t flows readily
through a trough to a box or tank to
which oil is introduced by means Of
a tube or pipe A centrifugal pump
raises the pulp from the stump and
forces it upward through a pipe. from
which the pulp passes into an inlet
funnel. The pulp flows from the fun
mel downward through a pipe ana
enters a tank through the side. A
small pipe containing air leads from
the top OF the tank TO a point near
the bottom where the air is dis
charged and permeates the pulp
which Is contained in larger pipes.
In due course the pulp thus treated
is conducted to box in which is con-
tanned air cells, the bottom of which
each contain four plies of canvas,
beneath which are aid compartments,
The canvas bottom Is inclined thus
making the cell deeper at one end
than the other for the purpose of get
ting an even distribution of air. A
blower injects the air through the
canvas which produces bubbles III

stated then rise 70 the surface and ex-

This modern method of ore treat

at loss to now operate at profit.
1t has been thoroughly tried out by
copper and silver producing COM
panies, which are loud in their praises
of its efficiency. 1t provides another
use for Oil, but so little is required in
the operation that it will not serious
ly affect the market price for the lat
