L-oom. and a scoop. A molung furnace can be made on the ground If an old oil drum and all that you need to buy Is a gasoline burner aod pressure tank, which will cos, approximately $25.
 AS far as operation Is concerned, all that you need to know is how t0 test your solution. This Is done by a simple chemical process which any assayer can teach you in a ssw minutes. The entire equipment re- cuired for this purpose will not ex- ceed $500.
 The simplest method of dischurs- ing tanks Is to sluice them out ac- ter treatment. This, of course, re- Quires good deal of water. + ycu do not have an abundance of water the tanks will have to bs mucked out into cars and tha tail- ihgs put over dump.
 There is no secret aboMt the cya- Eidation process. A man of aver- oge intelligence can learn enough about 1t to operate such Q small plant successfully and can got as good results a a trained mining en- E:neer operating an expensive plant.
 As stated before. the first cost will be i'm the ncighborhood of @1200. To this sum must bs added freight from the shipping posnt, cost of timber for foundations (you can use logs if there is timber on your ground).
 If you sluice out your tailings. no extra labor Is required to operate this plant as the battery man has ample time to attend to the few things that need looking after. If you have to muck out the tanks 1t will of course, require extra help.
 This process applies chiefly to free milling ores, but base ores can also be treated by first removing the base metals by concentration.- Tine Underground" San Francisco.

CYANDI:ATION For the Snlul Operator SAND TREATMENT .

HIS 1TLACAo IS WElCIGH LOT tHc small operator who has a stamp mill and who plates and concentrates his ore. It is our purpose to point cut how cheaply small cyanide plant can be erected as an adjunct l.. an existing mill and how easily and chcaply it cau be operated rth out much technical knowledge.
 If you have free milling ore and your tailings will average as low as .s1.50 per ton. you can make an od- ditional profit by cyaniding. If the profits run much higher, you will of course, do much better, as It does not cost any more to treat $500 or s4.O0 tailings than s1.50 tailings.
 The method recommended is the time honored, so-called, 'percolat- tIS Q1OCGSS CuGb U0S OOSn 4H uSO for more than thirty years. In 99 cases out of 100 the battery tailings are quite fine enough for cyaniding, 70 don't think you have to put in expensive machinery for rcgrinding. All you need arc teaching tanks placed below the mill, precipitation boxes and one solution tank. Most text books will tell you that you need stump tanks for weak and strong solutions and that the ore has to be treated first with weak solu- ton. But all these are unnecessary complications which the small oper- ator does not need. All he needs is the stump tank placed below the pre- cipitation box in which the cyanide solution is collected and from which Ik is pumped back into the teaching tanks.
 If you operate, for instance. a hyo-stamp mill and crush 20 tons of ora 24 hours. about one half of your rock will be sand of different degrees of f1neness and one half will be shines. By the percolating pro. cess you caa treat all your sands and about half your shines in tha

heen treated by another method which we will describe in another article.
 The teaching tanks are equipped with a Altering medium in the bot tom and the tailings run by gravity from tho battery Into these tanks. 1a order to spread them out evenly over the whole surface a so-called distributor is used When the tank is full you pump cyanide solution from your sump tank directly onto these tailings. and lot the solution djsolve 1t.
 Coming back to the small opera tor who crushes 20 tons per day, he would need three teaching tanks IS feet in the diameter and about feet high. Each of these tanks will hold about fifty tons of tailings 80 that 1t would take about three days rO fill the tank, allowing for IS tons oi shines to be impounded for fu- turc treatment. It will take six uays to fill tho other two tanks. It will, therefore. be six days before you need the first tank again, which "ill be sufficient time to give you guod extraction.
 Lcaching tanks cost about $260 complete in San Francisco, or a total of s7s0 for the set of three. < precipitation box of ample ca racity will cost abou. $135 and a stump tank costs $125. In addition you need small centriflcal pump iabout inch) driven by 3 H. P. motor or gas engine. Tho total cost of the tanks and machinery TOT the plant would run about S12OO. To convey the solution from teaching tanks to zinc boxes. from zinc boxes tn stump tank and from stump tank through the pump and back to the teaching tanks will re- qnire pipe and fittings. One inch pipe Is quits largo enough for this purpose.

The first meeting of Milford's
Community Chorus met in the Com
munity Building on Wednesday eve
ming, with very enthusiastic crowd
in attendance. Mrs. Howell was in
charge and in her usual fascinating
manner, soon had the attending
members very much interested.
These meetings will continue
throughout the winter and anyone
who is interested in music is miss
ing a splendid opportunity by not at
tending. An invitation is extended
to everyone who might be interest
ed. 1t is particularly deslrous to
place stress on the fact that mem
bers must be prompt as Mrs. Howell
drives down from Wilmington and
must work on schedule. Therefore,
if members are present at eight o.
clock, each one receives the benefit
of the allotted time. The next meet
ing will be on Wednesday evening
at eight o'clock. 1t is hoped that
everyone will keep this date in mind
and attend in large number.

DAIRY MEETING TODAY
AT DAGSBORO

Levin Davis, president of the
Millsboro-Dagsboro Milk Associa-
ton and County Agent c. R. Snyder
have planned for a big dairy meet
ing to be held at Dagsboro on Octo-
Der at 1880. This meeting should
prove of great interest to every far
mer of southern Sussex because OF
the building of a milk cooling sta
ton in that section.
The new station is being built
along the du Pont road between
Millsboro and Dagsboro and will be
operated by the Scott-Powell Dalr-
les of Philadelphia.
Naturally with the establishing of
this new industry in the lower part
of the county, many questions re-
lating to the dairy industry will
arise. DR.. Thomas Kelly of the
Scott-Powell Diaries will be present
to answer these questions and give a
general talk on "Dairying in South
ern Sussex" He will also explain
about the operation of the station.
According to plans the new sta
ton will open sometime this month
and from all indications it will
start with a good supply of milk.
The erection of the station should be
a "boom" for the farmers, not only
in this locality but to all who are
within safe trucking distance. There
will be truck routes established
reaching all points that are not now
covered. If you are interested in this
new enterprise, it may pay you to
attend this meeting and learn more
about the station and it's operation.

Autumn Leaves

o leaves so yellow, brown and red
And every autumn hue,
You soon will find an earthly bed
For winter now is due.
You'll fall in heaps so crisp and
brown,
You'll shiver and you'll shake
With every breeze that blows around
Until find my rake.
o leaves so gayly dancing now,
Jack Frost your dance will cease;
You'll soon to winter make your bow
And leave the trees in peace.
Then what smoky pail you'll raise
And what a perfume make,
And all the air you'll fill with haze
When 1 have found my rake.
