GREAT IMPROVEMENTS IN MINING
Contributions made by science to facilitate the mining
^ and milling of ores have greatly speeded up production
of precious metals in western mining districts and added
substantially to the profits from this great industry, says
the Denver Mining and Financial Record.
The approach of Spring brings to light many new de
velopments planned in the different mining districts and
the coming season gives promise of being the most active
in years.
Great improvements in mining, milling, and metallur
gical technique, and in labor administration and service,
having been introduced or extended since the &ar and all
have done their share in lowering the cost of producing
metals and in making commercial much ore previously
considered worthless. Among them may be mentioned
greater mechanization, cheaper power, finer grinding,
more efficient milling equipment, and higher smelting
recoveries. But none has had the tremendous effect of
selective flotation.
Selective flotation has accomplished the efficent sep
aration of the values in complex ores. This epoch-mak
ing discovery was made by Carrie Everson, a Denver wo
man, while washing some ore sacks for her brother. Lat
er developments of this discovery proved that a zinc-lead
ore in which the sulphide particles are intimately associat
ed, can be parted before smelting into separate concen
trates, both of which are distinctly salable. There is a
large tonnage of such ore; some of them could never be
profitably worked by the older methods, and others only
when the metal prices were abnormally high, as only part,
/ if any, of the zinc was recovered at the mill, and the bal
ance was penalized by the lead smelter, since it was neces
sary to force it into the slag.
By selective flotation, not only is there a good zinc
recovery, but the recoveries of lead and other metals in
non-penalty form are generally increased. The rework
ing of millions of tons of old waste dumps throughout the
west has created a new source of revenue without deple
tion. Mines formerly worked for lead and silver only and
which contain more zinc at greater depths can now be con
tinued on a profitable basis. Selective flotation has caus
ed the rejuvenation of zinc-lead mining.
Prospecting by instrumental or geophysical methods
will no doubt continue to occupy the attention of mining
men until a technique indicating its specific limitations is
developed. Necessarily, the application of instrumental
methods will be intimately co-ordinated with geological
studies. Literature is developing and many companies
are utilizing various methods. The U. S. Bureau of
Mines is investigating the subject, and attention is being
also given to it by mining schools.
What’s become of the old-time candidate who thought
it was too high-toned to campaign in an automobile?
Be as proud of Seward every day as an Irishman is
of his country on St. Patrick’s Day, or on any other day.
