HISTORY OF COMSTOCK MINES IS TOLD IN THE CARSON NEWS In 1859, 1860 and in 1861, up toi |the building of the quartz mills on j ^he Carson river, the millowners! charged f 40 a ton for the reduction! of the Comstock ores, and insured a! return of at least 40 per cent of the assay value.of the ores, and returned j to the mining companies and minersj an average of 60 per cent, says the | Carson News. After the erection of the mills on the river, the price of | reduction was reduced to $25 a ton; and this price held for a few years,' and then it was reduced to $15 a ton, then to $9 a ton, and then to j $7.50, which price remained station- j ary during the glory days of Com-, stock. Returns on assay values in-, creased very slowly, and until the! cyanide process was discovered, larg-1 er returns than 85 per cent were very j scarce. The mill owners invariably j kept the tailings. Extracting 65 perj cent of the value of the ore would| leave 35 per cent in the tailings. This! calculation led many into the belief, that the tailings from the ores first worked contained 3 5 per cent of the* assay value of the ore reduced, and they invested their money in tailings; reduction plants in accordance with their calculations. No values ap proximating such percentage were ever found, although the reduction of; tailings has been profitable and is still profitable, and a very important industry. From assays made of tailings re duced from 1859 to the present day show that they contain about 20 per cent less than they should, the calcu lation being based upon the original reports of the assay value of the ores from which they came.. Where is that 20 per cent? From the beginning the mills were owned by men who controlled the mines, whether the owned the majority of the stock or not. These men dealt with themselves as owners of the mills and managers of the mines and mining companies, and it may be that they reported an extraction of 20 per cent less than they actually ob tained from the ores reduced. Before the discovery of invention of the cyanide process for the sep aration of the noble metals from their matrix, there were two pro cesses generally used. the pateo process and smelting. The pateo process is the oldest. The Mexicans used to break up the ore with ham ^mer and sledge and spread it on a ’ hard noor within an inclosure, and turn a lot of heavily shod mules on it, and whip and cuss the mules at a lively pace around the ring (the Spanish lahguage being prolific with hard cuss words) until the ore was pulverized, or granulated at best, and then shoveled into amalgamating pans and settlers, into which quick silver was introduced to catch the gold and silver, and then the mass retorted and molded into bricks. This was the pateo or foot process— stamping with feet. The Mexicans also used arastras, which consisted of spreading the ore in a small in closure and hitching a mule to a long beam, which was attached to two heavy rocks of hard formation, and dragged around the ring over the ore until it was pulverized, and then drawn off for amalgamation. This system, which is hardly different from the pateo process, brought bet ter results because it pulverized the ore better, and released the metals from their matrix better. Then came the stamp mill, which is nothing dif ferent from the pateo process, ex cept as to its greater efficiency. It is really a pateo process, stamping the ore with stamps weighing from 600 to 900 pounds and crushing the ore in closer confined batteries, instead of stamping and crushing the ore with mules' feet. The amalgamation process is the same. The general re sults from the reduction of free mill ing ores by the pateo process has al ways been approximately the same, depending upon the intelligence and ability of the miilmen, but depend ing upon the honesty of the mill operators. The first ores reduced from the Mexican mine at Virginia City were reduced at Ophir and “patoed” oi stamped and crushed and pulverized by mules as above described. The mules cost on an average of $150 each, and they could "stand on their feet” only about three months, owing to the chemicals used during the stamping process, when they would be shot and put out of their misery. The Mexican mill on the Carson river is the first mill constructed on the river. The water wheel that turned its machinery was built by a man named Riley, who constructed sev eral other mill wheels below the Mexican mine at Virginia and the Mexican mill on Carson river were so named from the fact that two Mexicans were the first workers of the Mexican mine at Virginia and constructors of the Mexican mill and ditch and dam on the Carson river -— Five Inches of Snow The recent touch of winter which of the state left five inches of snow nipped the vegetables in many parts in Ely with icicles a foot long.
