Show THE FINK SMELTER although but little has been said of late regarding the fink smelter at garfield utah great interest still prevails in min ing and milling circles throughout the west regarding regard ng this new process of ore deduc tion and especially regarding the claim that blister copper can produced produce a by this process in one operation the first tests made wa w th the experimental plant were not only successful but they gave a glimpse of the wonders possible with this process and although the small plant built by mr edward fink the in and mr newhouse the backer was lacking in many essential points and is still in process of remodelling remo delling there is every everk reason to believe that the day is not far distant when the pink fink smelter will so revolutionize the smelting smelling sm elting industry that the small operator w with th a plant at his own mine can turn out blister copper from crude ore at ane one operation or at least that the highest grade of matte cabbe can be produced which is the next best thing to pure copper and this at an expense and outlay so trivial that the lowest grades of ore can be handled at a profit A few days ago another run was made at the fink smelter and a bar of almost pure copper is now on exhibition at the 4 ne newhouse ahouse offices as a result of the run besides this matt e going from 80 to 90 per cent was produced the matte is made the moment the concentrates or finely ground ore are fed into the furnace the higher grade up to blister copper being produced by blowing process the whole operation being of only short duration and at a fuel cost reaching the most economical point it is believed that a company will soon be formed for the manufacture of the fink smelter and that complete furnaces will be put out on a royalty basis |
