way s process at the A AY Y P exposition V RITTEN FOR THE MINING REVIEW perhaps the most interesting exhibit at the alaska yukon pacific exposition is represented in the picture shown belo below w from the opening day vast crowds daily congregated around this booth any public demonstration attracts the curious but one that holds the attention for hours must possess more than ordinary merit gold is uppermost in the minds of the masses today and any device or process that extracts the yellow stuff from the crude reek rcck in a few minutes time plainly visible t to the eye could hardly fail to convince thy the most skeptical that it fills a long felt want just what he always wanted and never had the average miner and prospector is skeptical by nature he scarcely believes anything he hears or sees advertised show me is his favorite favor ltd slogan but exposition visitors from alaska australia and even old missouri after witnessing the demonstration were loud in their praises of ways process for testing ores and lost no time in securing a complete outfit daily demonstrations were made on ores ore containing gold silver copper lead zinc tungsten etc many tests brought down several metals in one operation all plainly visible impossible by any other known method these marvelous results were not due to the exceptional skill of the demonstrator who was only a novice in the use of wy ways process which requires no technical knowledge for its successful use ordinary intelli wiep IN rl ak SLI L gence and good judgment being all that is needed while ways process of ore testing is no new and untried method it has been on the market for seven years and is now used by prospectors miners mining engineers assayers and others in the principal mining districts of the world yet there are ar thousands who have never heard of it and the manufacturers are planning a systematic campaign of education with a view of bf placing an outfit in the hands of every one in any way interested in mining the world over it is not an assay outfit but may be re lied upon under any and all circumstances to determine if rock contains any metal values at all and if so the kind of metal and enables the user to estimate the probable values of each one near enough for all practical field work with a complete outfit the user will never send worthless rock for assaying for he will know just what metals his ore carries and its probable value and an assayer will only confirm his own previously formed conclusions the inventor designed the pocket smelter outfit for the prospector alone but the uses have multiplied from time to time having steadily grown in favor with all classes it combines the good points of the blowpipe and wet methods without any of their imperfections but its chief merit rests on such new and novel features as to suggest the name ways process without many solicitation many high schools colleges and universities have taken up ways process so that the manufacturers confidently expect to eventually supplant all other methods of ore testing except assaying ways process outfits are always sold under a posit positive lye guarantee that they will do all claimed or money refunded
