The Nugget is California’ s Leading Mining Weekly E 2 . ity Nugget VOLUME li, ‘NUMBER 25 THE GOLD CENTER _ NEVADA CITY, NEVADA COUNTY. ‘CALIFORNIA. THE COUNTY SEAT PAPER TWIN SISTER TUNNEL IS IN 570 FEET CUSTOM TONNAGE A oguuted able tonnage of one trates and sulphide is being held on hand awaiting the "placing in operation of the New England eustom mill. The preliminary arrangements are being made and on the completion of the legal réquirements the mill will be immediately placed in operation. ores The New England is an all sliming mill using the ic cyanide process, and is equipped with a Marcy ball mill as the grinding medium for crushing to ,1590 mesh. It is therefore suitable for concentrates as well as ores of a sulphide character commonly called refractory. No attempt is made to amalgamate the free gold as it is reduced to such a fine state that it is easily disolved by the cyanide so-~ lution, The power was to be cut in by the . Pacific Gas the past few days and the mill will be given a thorough tuningu p before being placed in-1egular operation. With Arthur w.! Hoge named as commissioner to sell the properties in the Nevada Basin under deed to the Western Mines Consolidated, to satisfy the mortgage’ held by the Archibald interests,.the . litigation which has held up operation of the properties, will be cleared . up. The using of the mill as a custom plant will fill a considerable need in this district which has been without custom facilities since the closing of the old Pioneer Reduction.

The cyanide and lime built up in the usual mercury and oxygen by the use of the Vandercook generator, a modified form of the Trens agitator. It consists of a round wooden tank with special shaped cement bottom for the reception the mercury.

The generator operation shows myriads of small bubbles rising to the surface and in the bottom, the surface of the quicksilver is eently rippled by the force of the mixture of air. and solution expelled from the nozzles. The generator is placed at the head: of the circuit or at the stock tank. This solution is much more active than ordinary cyanide solution it adds the dissolving effect of mercuric cyanice and gives an absolute exOxymanner, the are dissolved dish solution and ait are ac as cess of oxygen for the diselution of . gold and silver. This excess of air is visual’y shown or demonstrated by the hundreds of bubbles than are seen to rise to the surface of the solution jump ito the. air while the solution is in contact with anu the ore. This action is analogous to the escape of carbonic acid gas from a glass of freshly opened soda water. It would seem therefore, that an almost ideal eyanide solution has been prepared, containing as it does beside the cyanide, that great necessity, excess oxygell, and greatest de-sulphurizer, mercury. It is well known that zinc added for the purpose of precipitating the gold and silver from the. solpition, leaves that solution in.a de-oxidized condition and therefore unfit for turther’ dissolution until replenished with oxygen.
