question.

The most obvious explanation of our failure was a simple mechanical one, viz., that the rocky grains containing the gald were too coarse to allow of the cyanide solution reaching and dissolving out the metal. To prove this, we ground a portion of the same sands till they would pass an So-mesh sieve and then applied a similar solution. In 42 hours, with a con- sumption of 4th K Cy, we extracted 75% of the original 24 dwt.

This marked the beginning of our success. Proceeding from botile tests to parcels of a cwt. or so in a barrel, and then to working lots of a ton or more in one of the aid tanks, with á centrifugal pump fitted as an agitator, we finally arrived at an extraction of 70% of 14 dwt, in about 5 hours' treatment, with a-con- sumption of less than lb. K Cyperton. This leads me to feel justified in counting upon 95% on 2 dwt, tailings at a cost of less than $1.00 per too. We do not anticipate, moreover, any serious trouble in separating the liquors....:

But an absolutely essential condition is that everything be reduced to slimes-exactly the Opposite conclusion arrived at by the Borneo Co., who would "remove the 30 or 40% of slimesas-a-preliminary to any treatment. The reduction to slimes involves providing machinery for the purpose, because the pulp cannot be retained in the mill till that condition i sarrived at. Moreover, one of our objects-is to treat the payable portions of our old tailings heaps, which consist exclusively of sands, the slimes having long ago been washed away, and for them, in any event, a grinding machine would be needed.

Estimates were obtained in Europe for steel plates for making the necessary tanks of various kinds, but the cost seemed extravagant, besides necessitating a vast amount of rivetting op the #pot. We have, therefore, adopted wooden vals, which can be cut and made on the pro- perty. The planks for making these are to a large extent already sawn, the ground surface
