in solution with iron is comparatively slow and In many instances quite costly a more active ac-tive and less expensive precipitant was In demand But Thomas Wren late of Eu rea but now of Reno seems to have solved this problem beyond a doubt according ac-cording to the Reno Gazette Mr Wren has made the question a study says the Gazette and after repeated and numerous numer-ous experiments with different substances sub-stances has discovered that copper in solution in water can be reudlly thrown down with alkali Alkali will precipitate the copper at once while Iron requires from 24 hours to several months depending depend-ing upon the amount of iron w e The Treasurer Hill Mining company received re-ceived Its certiricate of Incorporation yesterday yes-terday The capitalization ot the
