Show INSTALLATION OF A PROCESS ORE MILL STARTSAT BEAVER D. W. Jeffs, accompanied by Peter C. Forrester, inventor of the Forester Balanced Rod Mill, arrived in Beaver this week on business connected with the installation of the Forrester unit at the old factory site. The Forrester Balanced Rod Mill is unique in that it grinds .elevates and classifies the ore for immediate amalgamation, am-algamation, flotation or concentration, concentra-tion, and does so with 4 to 7 horse power per 50 ton unit. In the northwest the Forrester unit un-it is added to many of the older types, typ-es, including stamps and ball mills, to speed up the capacity and in almost al-most every case the older mills are relegated to the scrap heap in favor of the balanced rod mill grinding units. un-its. At the Utah Gold Co., property in the Fortuna district the Kearns vein, with a width of 50 feet and 240 feet of length exposed and which is open to quarry and pit mining, with an estimated es-timated tonnage in excess of 100,000 tons of $6 to $8 plus ore in sight, together to-gether with a large tonnage of $14 to $17 ore on various levels in the shaft, decided the frasibility of a mill capable of reducing this ore for gold recovery units and was the motive for the building and installation of the mill now being erected at Beaver. As future units are added custom ore will be milled, eliminating long hauls to railways, freight rates and excessive smelter charges, due largely large-ly to the silicious character of the quartzose gold ores which is ideal for direct amalgamation and consentra-tion. consentra-tion. Just what process will be required to make the final recovery, will be determined de-termined as rapidly as possible, using us-ing the first available methods consistent con-sistent with good milling practice. |
