.Hlo Iron Booth and Ills Bid Wnrnily
Defended.
Mr. Gustav o Andreen feels that ho has
boon done an injustice by tbo publication in
Tun BEE of an interview with n local con
tractor who found fault with Air. Andrcen's
plans for Iron polling booths.
"Tno disgruntad contractor , " said Air.
Androon , "complained that my bid for the
boolh did not include floor , windows or doorj.
That was wrong. My bid was for tbo boolh
complete , except floors , and the committee
had decided that floors were not needed. Ho
also stated that much of the work would
bavo to bo done In the east , which is also
wrong. I would buy my Iron tbo same as
any other contraclor would buy his lumber.
All of the work would be done in Omaha by
Omaha inon nnd my seventeen years' resi
dence and business career in Omaha ought
to bo guaranly enough that I am not in this
business for boodle. The figure at which I
bid will leave no margin for boodling. As to
the durability of iron and wooden booths I
will leave It to the publlo to Judge whether
iron will crack , warp and crimp and got nut
of repair as quickly as wood will or not.
With any kind of decent care an iron booth
will last twenty-five years , while uo amount
of care will keep a frame booth In condition
lougor than ibrco or lour yoars. "

BUR. I The first tin concentrator wl.l bo
eructed nt Hill City , S. D. , within the next
six months. The machinery Is now in course
of construction at the shop of Fraser St
Chalmers on the West Sido. Mr. O. F. Lnb
ram , under whoso supervision thu plans lor
tbo big crusher nro being drawn , will shortly
vUlt Hill City for the purpose of looking
after the preliminary construction.
An attempt was made to opornto n concen
trator some years ago In the Etta mine , but
ns the machinery was not built with u par
ticular vlo\v \ to the character of the ere to bo
crushed It was never operated successfully ,
nnd , ns already stated , the concentrator
now being turned out by Fraser & Chalmers
is the first concentrator in this country to bo
used exrluslvoly for the reduction of tin.
"It Is of ttio utmost importance , " said
Manager II. C. Wicker , of the Hiirnoy Peak
Tin Alining company , at the Wellington , "to
llrst determine- what class ot concentration
an ere belongs. Then the selection of the
machinery Is not experimental. The Hartley
company has too much money invested to do
any guess work in this matter , us has some
times been the case heretofore , and before
deciding upon our concentration plant wo
have employed experts from the best ore-
'
testing and' metallurgical works In the
country to oxamlr.o our ere and
determine Just the kind of machin
ery to bo used. Wo have been
so conservative In this respect that wo enter
tain no doubt ns to the result. The knowl
edge of the concentration of ores has now
become so extended that now works , under
reasonable circumstancesshould bo a success
from the start , "
How Tin Ore IH Treated.
The successful methods of concentrating
ores may bo divided into two general systems :
1. Coarse concentration , in whicu the ere
Is crushed coarsely , divided into several
classes or sizes nnd treated in various differ
ent concentrating machines.
2. Fine concentration , in which the ere is
crushed iiuely and treated without classifica
tion in ono style of concentrating machine.
A combination system is occasionally em
ployed on some ores in which the material
is crushed finely but classified into
two or more sizes , being treated on two styles
of concentrating machines , or treated sepa
rately on machines of ono style differently
adjusted.
The choice of ono or the other of those sys
tems depends entirely on the nature of the
ore to bo treated. The ores adapted tocoarso
concentration nre those containing the min
eral to bo saved in largo crystals , masses or
scums , so that when broken in comparatively
largo pieces , n good separation Is oifectcd be
tween waste rock and valuable mineral.
Many ores of load , zinc , copoot and iron nro
of this"character. .
The ores adapted to fine concentration on
the contrary , contain the valuable min
eral in flno particles or crys
tals disseminated through thu mass
of the rock in such a manner that a coarse
crushing would luavo the pieces of waste rock
still impregnated with mine-al and render u
liner crushing essential. Ores of silver , gold
and tin nro usually of this character , thu sil
ver ores frequently comprising luad , copper
zinc of secondary importance.
AVIint is n Concentrator ?
A concentrator consists of aseries of floors ,
arranged ono below tbo other like the stops
of a stairway. On the top floor the rock is do-
hvored. Below this floor are placed in suc
cessionrock broauers , coarse rolls and finish
ing rolls. The ore , nflcr passing throutrh the
bronker , drons at once to coarse rolls ana
from thorn into the coarsest revolving screen
of a sot of live. All ere too
coarse to pass through the perfora
tions of this screen falls from it , by a
spout to the finishing rolls , after which it is
raised by an elevator and again passes into
the llrst screen. In this way nil ere has lo
puss the per/orations of this screen before it
proceeds to the concentration machinery.
All the ere particles which pass the per
forations of screen No. I nro delivered by a
trough nnd inclined spout surrounding its
lower part into screen No. 2 of liner perfora
tions. The particles which pass through Iho
holes of No. 2 nro delivered Into still fine
scroeu No. 3 , and so on. The particles which
remain on those screens nre all of about the
samo'size , that is , smaller than the holes of
the preceding screen nnd larger than the
holes of the screen they remain on.
These screens discharge Ihoir con
tents continuously to a corresponding
number of pigs placed below.
The pigs separate the heavy mineral parti
cles from the light waste particles of rock.
The screening is usually done wet , with jots
of water washing the "screens to keep them
clear.
The material too small to bo caught on Iho
last and finest revolving screen either flows
into largo pointed settling tanks to bo rid of
the excess of water ( the thickened pulp beinc
drawn off below to the sluno dressing rua-
chino ) , or it Is run ever hydraulic classifiers ,
in which an upward streathof water produces
a moro perfect sizing than more nettling
boxes. Sometimes two rock breakers are put
in , ouo to crush directly "from the other ,
thus preparing the rock in largo quantities
lor tliu rollers and relieving the latter.
Additional Machinery Described.
Some mills have , in addition to the
machinery described , a battery of stamps
rccru.shing tailing.i from jigs , wl.ich must bo
pulverized liner lo liberate the mineral par-
ticlos. For tin ere this Is found necessary ,
small particles of mineral being carried by
pieces of rock several times the volume of
the mineral in .slzo , but so small and light
that they imvo been carried past the provlous
saving diviccs.
The sllmo dressing referred to is used on
ores like tin which require fine crushing.
The machine most commonly employed for
tins purpose are the Fruo vanning machine
nud thu Embroy concentrator.
The Fruo vannor is an endless rubber bolt
sppuortod by rollers so 11.1 to
form a piano inclined rubber
surface four feet wide , uvelvo feet longnnd
bounded on the sides by rubber llnnges , The
belt travels up the Incllnu and round a lower
drum which dips Inlo a water tan.t whore
thu mineral is collected. In addition to the
steady travel of thn belt , Ihe latter roccl"o.H
n steady slinking or settling motion from n
crunk shaft along ouo sido. The shako is nt
right angles to the inclination and travel of
the bolt. The ere Is fed on In a stream of
water about three feet from the hond of the
bolt nnd flows slowly down the Incline sub
jected so the steady shaking motion which
deposits the mineral on thu belt. At the
head of the bolt is a row of water jot- ) .
The slow upward travel ot the bolt
brings up the deposited mineral
nnd the water Jots wash back the
lighter sund , letting only the heavy mineral
pass and deposit In the water tank below.
Tin' capacity of the machine Is from five to
twelve tons daily , according to tbu character
ot the nru treated.
The Embroy machine Is virtually the Val
uer with the shako endways instead of side
ways , Patents on It were uc.'julrod In a law
suit ngnlnst the original owners for infringe
ment of the Fruo van n or patents. The van-
nor will probably bo employed In the ilarnuy
Peak mines.
As already stated in Tun Bui : , tno narnoy
company will at present put in ono concen
trator which will crush 2" > 0 tons tforo per
day , and later duplicate this machinery , thus
giving the mines a capacity of ftUU ton ; . .
The English syndicate which soinu months
niro secured an option on the Chicago Cold
Storagecompany's ' plant at a price of $1,000-
000 may not cut Iho property after all. The
plant Is considered to be worth much more
than the ubovo flguro , and according to ono
of iho gentlemen who engineered the deal , It
ioolis just now a : , though American mid not
EnulUh capital will control the big cold stor
age warehouses. ,

STATE PAW NOTiS. :
The Omaha Manufacturing company's ' ex
hibit nt the state fair attracted considerable
attention , The company had 4UO foot of
'
their iron and steel rlb'bon wire fences , ex
hibiting their farm , lawu and cotnotory
fences , their lawn fence , trimmed with
nickel plato ornaments , being very attractive ,
the people who saw it being enthusiastic In
their admiration and praise of such n beauti
ful fence. The comotury fence enclosed n
rustic mouumont , and nothing could bu con
ceived that would bo in bettor tastu or inure
approprlato. Tbo display was one that re
flected credit upon the manufacturers and n
credit to the city of Omaha , where their
plant is located at 103 to 112 North Eleventh
street. The gentlemen composing this com
pany came to Omaha from the east flvo
mouths ago to soltlo permanently nnd engage
In the fence manufacturing business. They
Invested largely , fooling confident of the
patronage and support of the citizens of
Omaha to sustain and encourage an enter
prise that Is so essential in beautifying thu
fawns of residences they surround and ad
ding to the value of the property. The pnco
of these fences is within the reach of anyone
desirous of an ornamental fonco. The cost
of this iron fence does not exceed that of n
wooden fence , and it will outwear a dozen
wooden fences. They not only beautify n
lawn , but are cheap nnd durable , lasting a
lifetime. The Omaha Manufacturing com
pany is an institution deserving of thu pat-
nonage and confidence of citizens and ono
which should bo sustained.
