grade, varies from few per cent tv
as high as ~ per cent OF the totaI
tonnage of the concentrates shipped.
| The usual method Of procedure in
hand sorting is as follows: The over
size passes from the grizzly onto a
wide conveyor belt. where the ore is
washed with spray Of water, SO the
sorters can distinguish the mineral
from the waste rock more readily.
| Men stationed On each side Of the
material either the mineral or the
| waste rock and drop it into shoots
leading to the respective bins.
A paper on hand sorting of mill
feed was presented sby II. s. Handy,
mill superintendent Of the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan company, at Kellogg,
, Idaho, at the meeting of the Column
bia section of the American Institute
of Mining Engineers, held at Kellogg,
on November II, 1917. This paper
! was most interesting and instructive
as well as the discussion that follow
ed. Mr.. Handy claimed that hand
sorting of the mill feed Is not neces-
sary, and that it is cheaper. in fact
, to treat the mill feed direct, without
previous hand sorting, for the same
amount of mineral saved and the
price received for the product. The
writer believes that Mr.. Handy, who
has made careful study of the treat
ment of the Bunker Hill ore, is cor
rect in assuming that for this partic-
ula rore and under the conditions in
the mill 1t is best to treat the mill
feed direct without hand sorting
Whether, under different conditions
hand sorting is essential or not should
be determined for each individual ore
and is matter we'll worthy of care
full consideration.
Coarse Crushing.
Instead of shipping the ore from the
mines direct to the mill. several COM
panies have crushing plant at the
mine where the ore Is reduced to
about four inches in diameter or
less This crushing is commonly eff
fected by gyratory or Blake crush
ers. At other plants the mine run
receives its first crushing at the mill.
Where hand sorting is practiced
the ore passes over grizzly or trom-
mel screen with IL to IL Inch open
ngs. The undersize from the grizzly
passes to storage bins; the oversize,
after it has been sorted, is reduced In
size by gyratory crushers or rolls,
and joins the undersize of the original
feed The ore from the storage bins
then passes to trommel screens of
different size openings, the undersize
being delivered to the various jgs
and the oversize being returned to
rolls which are in closed circuit with
the screens.
Coarse Screening.
The various sizes to which the ore
is graded by the screens varies in the
different mills. In one mill where
bull" jigs are used, screens with
perforations as large as so NM in
diameter are employed, whereas in

Through the courtesy Of c. A
Wright, in charge OF the bureau O
mines experimental station in con
nection with the state university a
Moscow, the Miner has received {
copy of bulletin No. l66, being "A
Preliminary Report on the Mining
Districts OF Idaho" which was the
subject of quite an extended notice
in the last issue of this paper, The
authors of the bulletin are Thomas
Marley, Clarence A. Wright, Edgar X
Soper and Douglas G. Livingston, al
of whom have made frequent visits
to this district. In addition to the
discussion of mining and milling
methods and practices in all parts OF
the state, the publication contains
considerable historical information
bearing particularly upon the mining
industry. A chapter devoted to the
Milling Practices in the Occur
dAlene Region" discusses various
phases of the milling process point
recovery and suggesting means to
overcome them. In fact this presents
one of the chief problems to which
Mr. Wright has given his attention In
the experimental station and Is here
reproduced, as it is of special inter-
est to Miner readers:
Milling Methods.
The mills in the districts of the
Occur d'Alene region vary In capac-
ity from 100 to 1900 tons in "a hours.
The methods of treatment of the ores
are similar in that the ore is reduced
by the usual types of gyratory and
jaw crushers. rolls and tube mills, fol-
lowed by Jig and table concentration,
while the Shines in most mills are
treated by flotation.
The lead and zinc ores are as a
rule, relatively high in mineral con-
tent, but are complex and often diff
cult to separate by the usual meth
DDS of gravity concentration. The
mill recoveries claimed by the differ
ent companies vary from 70 to 80 per
cent. 1t is gratifying to note that
most of the operators are constantly
experimenting and endeavoring to in
crease the mineral recovery. This is
clearly brought out by the fact that
nearly all the operating companies
were quick to realize the Importance
and possibilities of flotation to effect
an additional saving of the valuable
minerals, so that with few exceptions,
the flotation process is found in prac-
tically all the mills of this region.
Hand Sorting.
Hand sorting Is practiced to more
or less extent at many of the mines
and mills. Where hand sorting Is
employed and the mill is some dis
lance from the mine, the sorting Is
usually done at the mine, although at
a few places the ore is sorted at the
mine and also at the mill AT some
of the mills, when the ore Is rather
coarsely disseminated, both mineral
and waste rock are sorted, The guam
tity of shipping ore thus sorted out
which Is known as crude ore or high

other mills the perforations Of the
coarsest screens are usually not
greater than 80 nm. in diameter. The
trommel screens consist Of two or
three sections, each section having
different size screen openings. The
ore crushed for jig concentration Is
graded into five to seven different
screen products ranging from 80 to
IN nm. in size. the screen openings
differing somewhat at the various
mills The sizing of ore in this way
for subsequent jig treatment is char
acteristic Of the Occur d'Alene re-
gon. II would be interesting to run
several jigging tests on the lead and
zinc ores to ascertain whether some
Of the intermediate screen sizes could
be eliminated, and whether the use Of
jigs with larger cells would have any
advantages.
Jigsing.
After the ore has been graded inro
its different sizes each screen produc.
is treated separately on jigs. The
jigs are commonly of the Hartz type
and have three to five compartments;
also, the Franz and Hancock types
are used to some extent. The Jig
compartments are usually IS by 80
inches in area, although in some of
the mills larger compartments are
used, especially In the "bull' jgs.
AS a rule the bull jigs receiving the
coarsest material have two compart-
ments and make only two products, a
middling and a failing. The middling
Is crushed through rolls and returned
to the feed elevator for subsequent
screen sizing and treatment over jigs,
while the falling Is either discarded
or reground for treatment over jigs
and tables, the shines, of course, be-
ing separated out for flotation treat
ment. In one or two mills a final
lead product Is drawn from the first
compartment Of the bull jigs and the
middling Is taken from the second
compartment only
Where the ore contains both lead
and zinc in commercial quantities,
the lead concentrate is drawn off from
the first cell of the jig, whereas the
zinc product comes from the third
cell, and also from the fourth cell in
five- accompaniment jigs. The product
from the second cell is mixture Of
lead and zinc minerals and Is gener-
ally joined with the middlings from
the fourth and fifth compartments to
be reground in ball mill.
In jigging ore containing lead only,
final products are obtained from all
compartments except the last one,
from which a middling is drawn off.
This middling Is reground for suisse
quent treatment
The Jig tailings are handled differ
emily at the various mills. In one
ed without dewatering, whereas in
another mill the tailings are dewater-
ed before going to waste. Again, in
other mills only the tailings from the
ijigs treating coarse material are dis
carded, those from the jigs treating
the finer material being reground and
given further treatment: whereas in
still other mills one will find that the
tsilngs from all jigs are subjected to
finer grinding and subsequent treat
ment
