RESULTS OF TAKING INTEREST. Large Savings Effected by Mere Application Ap-plication of Inventive Genius. A millman, fond of experimenting, removed the belt from a vanning machine ma-chine and covered tho upper rollers with a board table on which ho secured silver-plated copper plates of the usual kind. He passed his mill pulp ovet thlE vibrating table, as It came from tho apron plates, and claimed that n. highly satisfactory saving was tho re-Bull. re-Bull. Why more gold was not saved on the apron plates, he did not state. Small strips of amalgamating plate, placed on the spreader of a concentrating concentrat-ing machine will often accumulate gold and amalgam. If the millman would carefully investigate tho amount of Josh, in milling, and endeavor by careful care-ful sampling of the tailing-to find out whore the loss actually occurs, he may In many cases bo able to check tho es-capo es-capo of gold by application of1 tho proper prop-er remedy. Sometimes It will bo found to be due to fine sulphide escaping ovor tho van-nor van-nor .belt, owing to the fact thai no classification of the pulp is made bo-fore bo-fore concentrating. And often, it will be learned that the loss Is in the coarsor sand, particles of which still Inclose gold. Finer grindlngJs tho only remedy rem-edy for this condition, and tho gold content of tho Band may not Justify thti additional expense. Mining and Scientific Scien-tific Press.
