TO DISCUSS FLOTATION
MOSCOW CONFERENCE
INSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM THAT
SHOULD ATTRACT LARGE
ATTENDANCE.

NefSlty OF Idaho, at Moscow, begin
ming next Monday, March 1, and end
ing on the 9Th. This conference is
attracting much attention among
men identified with mining and mill
ing operations throughout the north
vest and indications are that there
will be a large attendance Unknown
ten years ago. it is estimated that the
flotation process is today treating
6O,000,OO0 tons of ore annually Al
most every field of ore treatment has
been invaded or influenced by it. The
laboratories of the Idaho school Of
mines are especially we'll equipped
for flotation testing, and the purpose
of this course is to afford all who
are connected with mining and mill
ing operations or who are Interested
in the process an opportunity to IA
miliarize themselves with the theory
and practice of this phase of ore
dressing. In this district flotation has
come to be one of the most import
ant features in the recovery of lead
and zinc and the fact that the bureau
of mines experimental station in con-
nectiOn with the school of mines has
been giving much attention to flota-
tion tests of Occur d'Alene ores viii
doubtless induce many from this dis
trict to attend the conference. At
3 o'clock and again at 1890 daily
there will be lectures, each lecture
lasting an hour, with time for ques-
tons and discussion. From 1870 to
1870 each afternoon there viii be
laboratory demonstrations and exper-
iments in flotation. Persons desir-
ing to do SO will be given an 6ppor-
tunity to familiarize themselves with
notation technique Following is the
