Economic Mill Info
The Sulpho-Telluride and Partially Oxidized Ore material treated locally at present is done at the 300-ton Gold Coin Mill of the Gold Coin Mine company in Victor, situated in Eclipse Gulch, near Victor. It is built in steep terraces, at the mouth of the Gold Coin Tunnel.
graphic for visual presentation of text The process used here is barrel chlorination. The ore is crushed in a McCully gyratory crusher, rough rolled, sampled, and the crushing completed to 16 to 20 mesh for the sulpho-telluride ore, and a 12 to 16 mesh for the more oxidized varieties.
graphic for visual presentation of text Roasting is effected in a battery of six Argall furnaces, with an auxiliary dust plant of two Pearce furnaces. Dissolution of the gold is accomplished in 20 ton chlorination barrels, using perforated lead plate filters.
graphic for visual presentation of text These are the largest barrels in use treating Cripple Creek district ores. Chlorine has been generated here by electrolysis of a sodium-chloride solution.
graphic for visual presentation of text The process gave excellent results when operating satisfactorily, but on two occasions serious explosions occurred, and lately the generating plant was indefinitely closed down.
graphic for visual presentation of text At present the mill has reverted to former practice: bleach and sulphuric acid are used. The barrel residues are concentrated on Wilfley tables, the Wilfley concentrate being cleaned by rerunning on a Bartlett table. Hydrogen sulphide is used as the precipitant for the barrel solutions.

The manager alleged that the mill was not operating at a profit, and that to grant the advance would compel the works to be run at a loss. The trouble only lasted two days and was settled by the workmen receiving the advance desired.

Cripple Creek, Colorado.
graphic for visual presentation of textEconomic Mill Burnt.
graphic for visual presentation of text The plant of the Economic Gold Extraction Co., situated on the west slope of Squaw mountain above Eclipse gulch, was destroyed by fire on January 30. The loss is estimated at a quarter of a million dollars. Fire was first discovered in the early morning near the ore-bins and, helped by a slight breeze, soon extended to the other buildings.
graphic for visual presentation of text The mill was erected by the Wood's Investment Co. in 1899, and the chlorination process was in use, which proving unsatisfactory owing to recent advances in other methods of ore treatment, necessitated the closing down of the mill last June.

Mr. W. S. Stevens Killed
CRUSHED BY A CAR
W. S. Stevens Dies of Injuries Received at Eclipse.
DIED IN THREE HOURS
W.S. STEVENS, AN EMPLOYE OF THE ECONOMIC GOLD EXTRACTION COMPANY AT ECLIPSE CRUSHED UNDER A CAR.

W.S. Stevens, an employee of the Economic Gold Extraction company's mill in Eclipse gulch, was crushed so terribly under the wheels of a heavily-loaded flat car yesterday morning at 10 o'clock that he died from his injuries three hours afterward.

Stevens and a fellow workman were unloading a heavy roaster for the mill from the flat car, when the brakes gave way. Both men jumped from the car, but Stevens' right foot caught in some rope and he was dragged in front of the moving car.

The front wheels passed over his left foot, crushing it to a pulp, and then over his body in the region of the stomach, breaking his back. He was removed to his home in Eclipse gulch.

Stevens leaves a wife and children, and his death will be deeply felt by his many friends.

During the month of March, the Economic mill were an important factor for the district's increase in mill-grade production. The increase in the mill-grade production is very gratifying. It is due to the increased capacity of the reduction plants treating Cripple Creek ores. Satisfactory reports for the Economic mill are on hand, which it is officially stated is a complete success. Its production would be much higher if it were possible to get a larger supply of water.

FIRE AT ECONOMIC MILL.
graphic for visual presentation of text At 9:30 Monday morning fire was discovered in the east wing of the Economic Gold Extraction company's big plant on the west slope of Squaw mountain, in Eclipse gulch. Excellent work by the mill's fire department saved the plant from total destruction.
graphic for visual presentation of text An officer of the Woods Investment company, which owns the control of the Economic Gold Extraction company, estimated the loss at $7,500, fully covered by insurance.
graphic for visual presentation of text The origin of the fire is not definitely known, but it is supposed to have started from the flues running from the furnace to and under the drying tables. The blaze had gained considerable headway before it was discovered, as the mill is constructed principally of wood.
graphic for visual presentation of text The fire alarm gong was sounded and the plant's fire brigade was soon at work. The trestle from the ore house to the mill was blown down with dynamite, so that the flames could not spread.

graphic for visual presentation of text The firemen at the mill had the flames under control when the additional forces arrived and soon the blaze was extinguished. Not a wheel in the big plant was injured but the frame work of the drying room was badly burned.
graphic for visual presentation of text The total insurance on the reduction plant is $230,000 and on the cyanide plant $20,000. Twenty thousand dollars of additional insurance was put on the big mill the previous Saturday, and at the time of the fire W. A. Stewart, the Victor insurance agent, and an adjuster were inspecting the mill.
graphic for visual presentation of text They had a good opportunity of fully investigating the fire and the work of the company's fire brigade.
graphic for visual presentation of text Carpenters were put to work at 1 o'clock repairing the damage and it is thought that inside of two weeks all these repairs will have been made.
