ORE FLOW SHEET IN MODERN
AND WELL-EQUIPPED MILL,

The ore Is hoisted from the mine in
buckets. automatically dumped into a
car and trammed to the orebins, where
II passes over grizzlies separating the
coarse ore from the fines. From the
coarse rock orebin the boulders are
trammed to the rock breaker in the
mill, where II is reduced to three
quarter inch and elevated to the mill
bin. The fines from the mine are
trammed direct to the mill bin. From
the mill orebin the ore is taken on an
automatic feeder and carried to a set
of IL by "a inch rolls. from which II is
taken to the trommel screen, where
the undersize-20-mesh and smaller
goes direct to the classifiers and the
oNersize--above S-mesh--is sent to an
other set of rolls and then to a Hunt
ington mill to be reduced to 20 mesh
From the Huntington mill everything
goes to the classifiers and the hydraul-
ically sized pulps sent each to a sep
arate whitley concentrating table. The
concentrates are dried with fuel oil
and from the drier are dropped into a
Wetherill magnetic separator, which
makes two products-one an IRON
tungsten concentrate and the other a
gold-silver-lead concentrate. which is
elevated to the shipping orebin for
transportation to the shelters near
Salt Lake. The iron-tungsten concen-
trate Is rewashed on Wiley table,
making an iron product carrying high
gold values and a tungsten product
running between so and 20 per cent
metallic tungsten.
The mill tailings carry values in gold
and silver and this product is being
stored below the mill until such time
as cyanide annex will be provided
for the mill
A comfortable residence has been
erected for the use of the president,
and while the building is not an ex-
pensive structure yet such good taste
has been used in its design that 1t
gives an impression of metropolitan
convenience. Other buildings and a
clubhouse are used for the shelter of
the employees. The boarding house,
presided over by China Tom. a popular
American of forty years. residence in
Phoebe who has earned the friendship
of all those who enjoy good food. is
another intelligently designed build
ing. Here may be found the four sur
faces demanded by those who have
studied efficiency in this important de-
partment-the preparation table, cook
ing surface, dishup table and cleaning
table-all shining zinc and metal, pol
ished to a degree which insures any
stray germ breaking his neck immedi-
ately upon alighting where he has no
business.
A completely equipped assay office
is available for important work. The
stable. important in olden days, is now
used for storage and the work done by
horses is now more cheaply performed
by the Republic truck, which is show
ing an earning power of some four
hundred dollars each month of use.
thus stultifying criticism of the swift
machine.
The store carries a small stock of
tobacco, soap, bedding and such CON-
mon necessities for the miner and is
conducted, as is the boarding house,
not for profit but as a necessary evil.
The machine shop is. furnished with
enough tools and machines to handle
any reasonable work and an electric
light plant furnishes light for mine
and mill.
