10Info Title:
Chlorination Mill of Portland Co. Will Opened About May 15
The new chlorination mill of the Portland Company will be opened about May 15. It was built at Colorado Springs by the Portland M. & M. Company and will have a capacity of 300 tons a day. This can be increased, however, should the output of the mine warrant it.

The opening of this mill is an event of great importance in the mining world. The fact that it is built to handle the output of the Portland mine alone is a striking proof of the greatness of that property, and its completion makes the company entirely independent of the smelters.

The new industry will give employment to a large number of Colorado Springs workmen.

Portland Mill in Colorado City Generated Savings
Portland Gold Mining Company— The annual report is very elaborate, and shows the company to be in good shape financially with good ore reserves. The new mill at Colorado City has saved the company about $1.60 per ton on the 40,000 or more tons handled during the time it has been running, making in all about $60,000.

Millmen's Strike Effect on Colorado City Mills
The Mill and Smelter Men's Union has voted to extend the strike at the Standard Mill in Colorado City to the Telluride and Portland mills. The Portland Mine may have to close. The Telluride and Portland managers refused to advance wages.

The Standard Mill, where the strike began, is still running with non-union men, who lodge in the mill buildings.

Colorado City Mills Runs Protected
The Standard and Portland mills at Colorado City are running under the protection of troops. The refusal of the Cripple Creek mine owners to stop shipping ore to the mills will doubtless result in a miners' strike unless it happens that the unions of Cripple Creek will refuse to recognize the authority of the Western Federation of miners and stick to their work. It is generally admitted that this strike is a fight to a finish between the Western Federation of Miners and the mine owners, and mill operators of Colorado, and that the struggle has but started.

Stearns-Rogers Manufacturing Co. Suit Against Portland Gold Mining Co.
Portland Gold Mining Company.—The Stearns-Rogers Manufacturing Company has brought suit against this company in the United States Circuit Court to collect $54,045.67 alleged to be due on construction of the Portland chlorination mill. The money is alleged to be due on several contracts. A part of each of the total amounts has been paid, but the complaint states that a part of each yet remains unpaid and uncollected.

The manufacturers were to furnish the plans, provide a superintendent for construction and to furnish certain parts of the material used. For the furnishing of plans and supervising of construction the manufacturing company was to get a certain per cent of the total cost. The entire works are alleged to have cost about $700,000, the manufacturing company furnishing about $112,772 of one kind of material and $52,383 of another kind. There is charged to be due $24,991 of the percentage for plans and construction, the balance of the amount sued for being on the material furnished.

The objection of the Portland Company to paying the claim, has not been made public, though it is understood to be faulty construction of the mill and non-fulfillment of contract.

Findley Strike to Be Sent to Portland Mill
Cripple Creek, Colorado.

Strike in the Findley.

A strike of good ore is reported to have been made on the Findley mine on Bull hill. At a depth of 850 ft. on the tenth level a new vein has been encountered and from the assay-returns the ore should ship between two and three ounces.

The Findley ore is to be treated at the Portland mill at Colorado City until such time as the Golden Cycle is in operation. This will be the first custom ore the Portland mill will have treated.

Portland Mill Completed a Cyanide Plant
Denver, Colorado.

Competition Between Cyanidation and Chlorination.

With the 16% reduction in the output for 1906 for the Cripple Creek District, compared with that of 1905, has come a corresponding pressure for the reduction of treatment charges. Cyanidation has locked horns with chlorination in what promises to be a death struggle and all who are interested are anxiously awaiting the outcome.

The Portland Gold Mining Co. is just completing a 400-ton plant for fine grinding in cyanide solution in tube-mills to treat the tailing that has been accumulating from its chlorination plant. This plant is supposed to contain $2.50 per ton, hence a handsome profit is expected. One tube-mill is lined with silex blocks and it is planned to line the other with cast-iron liners, which will furnish a useful comparison.

Altogether, it seems as though cyanidation were destined soon to triumph. Bromo-cyanidation will now have a fair chance, and it would not be strange if it were to make a better showing than it has in previous trials.

Chlorination of Cripple Creek Ore Lost Out to Cyaniding
In the early days of gold milling in the Cripple Creek district the cyanide mills were worsted in the competition with the chlorination works and, for many years, the latter held the field.

Improvements in cyanidation, however, altered the conditions, and the cyanide mills are now undoubtedly ahead.


Emphasis is given to this conclusion by the fact that the Portland company recently decided to change its mill at Colorado City, having a capacity for the treatment of 10,000 tons of ore per month, from the chlorination to the cyanide process.

This will leave the United States Reduction and Refining Company with the only chlorination mill in the field, and three of its chlorination mills are idle.

Portland Mill Left Chlorination for Cyaniding
THE BATTLE of the processes has been nowhere waged more vigorously than in Colorado, where chlorination and cyanidation have competed with varying success during two decades for preference in the treatment of the ores of Cripple Creek.

Cyanidation is the victor, for it has been apparent for several years that the application of tube-milling and cyanidation to the tailing from the chlorination plants had placed these in a humiliating position. The Portland Gold Mining Company has recently changed its mill to cyanidation.

Portland Gold Mining Company Annual Report 1918 Abstracts
Property: mines and mills at Cripple Creek, Colorado.

Operating Officials:

G. M. Taylor, general manager

Fred Jones, superintendent at the mine

T. B. Crowe, superintendent at the mill

Luther Lennox, assistant

and Merrill Metallurgical Co., consulting metallurgists.

Financial Statement: the net profit in 1918 was $196,596. The balance from 1917 was $278,383, and that carried to 1919 was $127,622.

Current assets total $395,966, and liabilities $14,052.

Dividends: the total last year was $300,000, making $11,267,080 to date.

Development:

there was accomplished 8071 ft., making 63 miles in the Portland mine.

The Independence mine has 17 miles of openings.

The branch tunnel from the Roosevelt drainage-tunnel to No. 2 shaft of the Portland, at a depth of 2131 ft., was connected during the year.

At the end of 1918 the main shaft was sunk to No. 21, or the drainage-level.

Development of No. 1 vein will soon be under way.

The Lee No. 5 orebody was cut by the tunnel cross-cut, and driving is opening high-grade ore.

Generally the outlook is promising.

Production:

the Colorado Springs mill was closed on March 31, and the Victor mill on July 30, leaving the Independence in operation.

The extraction at the last named was good, but the profit was small.

Almost without exception, every improvement devised to reduce costs was immediately offset by some increase in cost of labor or supply entering into the extraction of gold.

The output was 53,887 tons (Colorado Springs) valued at $1,120,851, and 522,756 tons (Victor mills) worth $1,071,925.

The output to date is 3,949,248 tons, worth $48,773,378 gross.

Experiments were made on the tailing at Colorado Springs in an endeavor to devise a process for extracting potash therefrom. This material contains 7% K2O, and there is about 2,000,000 tons of it awaiting treatment.

Its announced that the Portland Gold Mining Co. has abandoned two of its large mills and that these plants have been sold to junk-dealers, which lends to give one a pessimistic idea regarding the future of the Cripple Creek district.

The 600-ton mill at the mine was abandoned at the time the 1500-ton Independence Mill was completed about two years ago.

The 800-ton plant at Colorado City has also been idle for some time.

Before the abandonment of these mills much of their machinery was placed in the new mill at Victor.
