RIVERS OF GOLD From the “Mfonthly Bulletin Of interest to- British Columbia is the announcement that millions ang lnillions of dollars worth of fine “flom: vould” may be recovered from the sand of rivers which drain areas which con- taln gold bearing ores, as a result of the announcement by W. A, Fahren- wild, professor of metallurgy at the University of Ohio, that the flotution process is highly effective in recover: ing fine gald particles. These tiny flakes, no larger than the period on a typewriter, are washed awity and lost in the process of “pan- ing” gold bearing sands, or of sluicing The common practice of -amalguut.- ing the gold with merenry alse rejects considerable fine gold, Beture the work concluded at Idahu it was generally known thut free gold could le recovered by fletution. Ful- lowing the recent announcement of Prof. Fubrenwald’s research, belief is cirrent that flotation solyes the “flour sold” problem which -has troubled pla- eer niners since curilest prospecting citys. oe “Gold is one of the most easily flot- able natural substances,” says Prof. ‘Fubvenwald “and. if not. too coarse it cui be recovered thoroughly from flne- ly crushed quartz ore,’ or: from placer sind, sich as occurs on the Snake, the Columbla and other rivers in the North went, Flotation tests - show gold recov. ery us high as 97. 3%: Me The " method of. the, flotation pro- cess is simple, .‘It- centres-on the fret that fine gold. can be -made-to flont on water, although - it ‘normally: ‘sinks . 4 the water: iy not in: rapid’ motion.

During the past couple of years all their dire predictions have been justified. Con- ditions became worse than cren the worst pessimist expected,” Had the eNews said “during the past couple of years all “our dire predic- tions” there might be some- reason for that paper to urge better feeelings on the part of the people.
