Show GOLDEXl GATE DEVELOPMENT Great Ore Bodies in Another Mer cur Property W W Hollister of the Golden Gate Mining company is in from Mercur on business connected with his companys affairs Mr Hollister reports recent developments in the property as most satisfactory in their nature They now have a vein running from Teighteen to twentytwo feet in width and yielding from 1S to 40 per ton iiugpldt Some 40000 tons of such are are already Insight in-sight However the ore is too rebellious in character to be successfully or advantageously ad-vantageously treated by the cyanide process and with a view of determining the most suitable method of treatment and the one yielding the best results large lots of Golden Gate ore will be sent to different places for experimental experi-mental tests by various processes The result of the lot to be sent to Denver for treatment by the Bradford electrocyanide method will be anxiously anxi-ously awaited by the Golden Gate people peo-ple inasmuch as they have been led to believe that in this new process lies the secret of success in the treatment of those ores of Mercur district that differ materially in certain characteristics characteris-tics from the goldbearing rock found In the Mercur and Marion properties When it is determined just what process pro-cess is best adapted for the reduction of their ores the Golden Gate company will proceed with the erection of a mill of large capacity The example of this company will be emulated by II scores of other operators in the district who have in their workings ores similar to the Golden Gates and which I cannot be profitably worked by the i MacArthurForrest process and eventually event-ually with the introduction of the correct method of treatment in operation opera-tion the gold bullion yield from Mercur district will be handsomely increased I The Bradford process differs from the MacArthurForrest method in that the I pulp is made fine enough to pass i through a 100mesh screen Instead of a 40 and the gold in solution is attracted I at-tracted to metallic plates charged with electric currents in place of the precipitates pre-cipitates being caught zinc on shavings I The inventors and proprietors of the I I Bradford process claim for it that it i i extracts and saves the highest possible i i percentage of the gold value in the j ore as high as 99 per cent the small 1 cost of the operation of the reduction plant and the light expense for working work-ing charges not exceeding 2 per ton all told I The verification of the claims of them j the-m process means the dawn of a new era in gold mining operations for this I region |
