Show SKETCH OF THE HONERINE concentrating KATING MILL BY F E JOHNSON A short article supplemented with a cut of the flow sheet of the new honerine concentrating cent rating mill will be of interest to many whereby hereby i anyone at a glance who is familiar with ore dressing can see just what is being done and all that really is of vital interest to him the flow of a m mill ill deberr mined minea all then that is necessary is to arrange and house it in the writer spent two days at the mill during which time he sketched up the flow at time of visit they were running tons crude ore through in eight h hours ours with an the usual defect of all water sizing schemes the samples taken show in all cases sands contaminated with fines and slimes but as a means for settling the pulp in preparation for the tables they are working most successfully they were also operating a new wilfley siiney slimer which as yet had not settled down to satisfactory work but in defence would say they were not giving it the feed it should have had in the diagram I 1 show the feed coming from the first six tables where they will no doubt feed it from j r 77 TL operating force of ten men the mill only working one shift owing to the ore supply depending on hauling by teams at present from the mine the ore is crushed dry up to feeding into the second screen where water is introduced trod for a beginner the mill was doing nicely and has a very neat appearance the construction being especially good the arrangement is on somewhat usual lines and is open to criticism the most conspicuous feature of the mill is the sherman classifying tanks a new innovation in ora ore dressing As classifiers they have have later but at present they are drawing it from the tailing launder of f no 7 sherman classifying tank and the pulp is too iliin to give good results the jig concentrates are drawn into steel mine cars from bins located on the ahe table floor directly under the jigs and the concentrates cen from the tables are shoveled shovel ed from the usual boxes into cars on the same track cars are crammed by hand to a platform elevator and lifted to top of mill and dumped into a bin which is on the same level as the receiving ore bin from which they are drawn into the railroad cars |
