Show It SMALL PUT FOR ! TESTIS PROCESS Nevaila Douglas Company Has Acquired Ten-ton Mill at Denver. NO MISTAKE POSSIBLE Plans for Leaching Plant to Be Installed Soon Are Under Way. President A. J. Orem of the Xevada-'tlSiil! Xevada-'tlSiil! ' Douglas Copper company has addressed jjjffctj a communication to stockholders In re- Jijjj' gard to the leaching plant the company will install This communication fol-liilS fol-liilS lows: 'fllPif 1 am constantly receiving letters ' im iif Inquiring- about tho leaching plant. ;t 1 1 sU Have we commenced to build It? 11 bv. What are our plans? "Wfaat aro we II Kg? doing- to provide tho properties with U M the necessary reduction works by the MM time our contract with the Mason Stfi W Valley smeller expires? This letter jJS Ijj . Is sent to answer such inquiries. rtjiifii After W. C. Orem's recent visit I! here, he returned west via Denver; ', there to meet and consult with oth ers Interested In the construction of I a plant for the Ieachlnp of Nevada- Douglas ores. Experimental Mill. In this conference ihcy learned of nn old plant there of ten tons ca pacity that was partially dismantled. However, It had all of the leaching tanks and most of tho appliances , needed to make It a satisfactory cx- perlmontal plant. Hence, arrange- r ments were made with the owner to i put this plant In shape to conduct ; further experiments ton Nevada - i Douglas ores. At the same time, a ) draftsman was put. to work upon ; plans for the larger plant to be JlKf! erected at the Nevada-Douglas mines, jlllf ' Two or three carloads of ore from nltfj! le Nevada-Douglas mines will be jr shipped tb Denver for these experi-jtaiH experi-jtaiH ments. This will save both time and fctvt'i expense. The experimental plant tara ! would be practically useless after the frifP experiments had been conducted and lISL Jij the larger plant erected. Besides, It (T)tji would take much more time to build mVWi nn experimental plant at the mines Vt : m than to reconstruct the old plant at J3 Denver, which should be ready for further experiments within two or fu'iS.' three weeks. In four or six -weeks, at it jijj" the most, we should be ready to com-(3 com-(3 MS' mence the construction of our larger M f i plant at the mines. Is I tt Since the leaching of copper ores I IS vti is passing through Its initial stages, 3(BJ U can hardly be expected that tho m i process has yet reached perfection, ipl 2' 1" applying this method to the treat-Jail treat-Jail ment of Nevada-Douglas ores, the tiki 3 management- desires tb have the SSL process as nearly perfect as possi- $j Process Is Success. Our clients are not to understand 1; from this that we have any doubt as to fttll m. the success of treating Nevada-Douglas 2' ores by this process. We are simply f. taklnc- care to develop tho process before ijll spending money In building tho final plant. Wo wish this plant tb bo as near Sf perfecrion as the latest knowledge upon fit: the subject can make it. In a letter un- Jp der date of August 20, W. C Orem writes '"J me: "You can rest assured that we can ' get the plant in operation at our mines i before the expiration of the Mason Val- .1 ley contract." Under date of August IS. the man In i charge of the old plant writes from Den- ver to Salt Lake, saying. "Work at the j testing plant Is fairly well under way, I as also the plans for the larger mill." |
