Homestake Mill Info
The material treated locally at present is for Oxidized Ore at various small plants and at the large plant of the Homestake Company at Ironclad Hill. Also in the plant of Messrs. King and Craig at Anaconda, and in the plant of F. R. Hamilton and Co. at Goldfield.
A brief description of the treatment pursued at the Homestake Mill may be of interest, and though on a much larger scale that any of the other oxidized-ore plants, the same general method applies to all.
The ore is mined, or rather quarried, in an altered breccia containing much talc and clay. No regular ore-shoot is followed, practically the whole "formation" being sent to the mill.
The value is exceedingly low, and up to the present the material has failed to yield a profit. The mill, as designed, has a rated capacity of 1,000 tons daily, but owing to the clayey nature of the ore, and doubtless to some mechanical defects, this capacity has not been reached, and but little more than half of the rating has been accomplished.
The ore as broken is dumped over grizzlies with 1½ in. spacing to storage-bins. The oversize is conveyed by belt to a No. 7.5 gyratory crusher, the undersize by conveyor belt to vibrating screens with ⅜ in. openings.
The crusher product, after screening, is rolled in stages, with intermediary screening (16 in. by 38 in. belted rolls) to pass ⅜ in., as is also the screen oversize from the grizzly fines.
The finished ore, ⅜ in. and finer, is charged to one of six steel 800-ton leaching-vats. A conveyor belt runs the length of the leaching-room, delivering the finished product from the rolling department to a cross conveyor running on a movable bridge over, and the full length of, the line of vats.
The cross conveyor is supplied with a movable tripper, whereby the crushed ore may be delivered to any part of the vat, practically removing the necessity for any shoveling.
The filled charge is leached with dilute cyanide solution from 0.025 to 0.05 per cent. strength, for from four to five days. Generally an extraction of 80 per cent. is obtained in three days, the remaining time being occupied in removing the dissolved values. The residues are discharged by water-pressure.
The total cost of mining and milling is given at $1 per ton, exclusive of amortisation, insurance, and taxes. The machinery is driven by independent induction motors. Precipitation is effected, as in other plants, with filiform zinc.

Homestake Mill Lessees Successfully Treated Low-Grade Oxidized Ore
Cripple Creek.—The milling feature for August was the treatment of low-grade oxidized ores at the larger of the two mills of the Cripple Creek Homestake Co. under lease to the Phoenix Leasing & Milling Company.
At this plant ore of the very low average of $1.66 a ton was successfully treated with a saving of $1.25 a ton. The estimated cost of mining and treatment is placed at 85 cents a ton, giving a profit of 35 cents.
The mill recently increased the tonnage handled to 150 tons daily. E. J. Clancy, the South African and Australian cyanide expert, is in charge.

Homestake Properties Leased
Cripple Creek, Colorado.
Homestake Mills Leased.
A five-year lease has recently been granted to the Phoenix Leasing Co. by A. W. Grant, receiver of the Cripple Creek Homestake Mining & Milling Co., on the Ironclad, Annex, and Pard claims, and the larger of the two Homestake mills.
Mining operations will be started at once. It is expected that the mill will be overhauled and put in shape for the hauling of ore by March. The royalties range from 5 to 20 %.
About 12 months ago a similar lease was granted on the Magna Charta and Quartzite claims and the smaller mill, to the Ironclad Leasing Co. This mill has a capacity of 150 tons per day and has been operated very successfully during the last year.

Homestake Mill Propose Increased Capacity
Cripple Creek Homestake—The stockholders, who have taken possession of the property, propose to increase the tonnage gradually from 300 to 700 tons and eventually to the full capacity of the mill, 1,000 tons.
In view of the successful cyaniding operations at other plants the Cripple Creek-Homestake company is anticipating profitable operations.

165Info Title:
Homestake Mill, a Year's Progress in Cyaniding
Since the last report of the condition of cyaniding in the Cripple Creek district given in Mining Reporter (September 1, 1904), many changes have taken place as regards the mills in active operation, but comparatively little in the general milling practice. The year has been marked by exceptional activity in mill construction but closes with but a slight increase of tonnage over that reported a year ago. Only two mills, the Homestake and the R. E. A. and A., were then running with an approximate capacity of 300 tons per day. Four mills are now in active operation, but the aggregate tonnage does not exceed 375 tons per day.
During the year the Homestake company completed the erection of a new mill with a rated capacity of 1,000 tons, with 6 Tanks being 10 x 50 feet each and Approximate capacity of 750 tons. The Crushing mesh is 2, and the Strength of strong solution is 1.3 lbs. Value of ore treated is $1.50, and the Tailings assay are 0.20.
The mill started to treat ore about the latter part of February, but however, failed to meet the expectations of the promoters and after a few months' unsatisfactory run, has been closed down with uncertain prospects of resuming operations.
Although the crushing was changed from four mesh at the start to a screen of three-eighths inch opening for the finished product, yet the capacity expected failed to develop. It is the opinion of well-informed mill men that while the crushing machinery is ample for a capacity of 1,000 tons per day to a three-eighths inch mesh, the design of the plant has been so poor as to make the capacity impossible without material changes.
A description of the mill was given in the E. and M. J. of June 8th and will not here be repeated. The strength of cyanide solution used was there given through mistake as a little over one-half pound per ton, where it should have been a little over 0,5%, or about 1.3 pounds per ton. This is the lowest strength used by any mill in the district, or as far as the author is aware, the lowest used by any cyanide mill in the United States.
The value of the ore treated will not admit of a large loss of cyanide, and, judging from results so far obtained, it seems doubtful if their low grade ore can be treated successfully. The Old Homestake mill of 200 tons' capacity has been partially dismantled, but it is reported that it is to be remodeled and used as a custom mill. We have, however, no authority for this statement.
As a rule the nature of the ore in the district does not admit of cyanidation without roasting, to any great depth, but an area including portions of Bull, Ironclad and Globe hills seems to be an exception to the general rule.

Homestake Mill Once Again Operating
Homestake Mill—Operations have been commenced again on this mill by some of the Eastern stockholders. It is understood that these people have raised considerable money to carry on operations.
The mill has been shut down for considerable time. The plant is constructed to treat from 600 to 1,000 tons per day of ore by the cyanide method.
The ore is of an oxidized variety, and is of very low grade. It can, however, be mined and milled very cheaply, and if the values hold up at all, it can be made to pay.
A large amount of money has been invested in the mill, and the outcome of the property is being watched with interest.
It is situated on Ironclad hill not far from the Wild Horse mine.

Homestake Mill Not Working Fully
Cripple Creek, June 19. (Special Correspondence)—The Phoenix Leasing Co. is handling 100 to 150 tons per day through the Homestake mill, mostly custom ore. The mill has a daily capacity of 800 tons.
John A. Johnson, the manager, believes they will soon be running full capacity. But three men are employed to do the work in the mill. Everything is automatic and handled by machinery.
They turned out a brick a few days ago from four days' run weighing 140 oz. This mill has been operated at different times, but did not seem to be a success; but the present management feels much encouraged over the outlook.

Homestake Mill Announces Success, Others Want to Follow
Denver, Colorado.
Competition is Useful.
The Homestake mill, at Cripple Creek, after a month's run, announces that it has met with unqualified success, and has operated at a profit on ores of a grade slightly lower than $3. The other mills, now in process of construction, which are designed to treat oxidized ore, stimulated by this announcement, are hastening their preparations, and will soon be in readiness to begin work.
In regard to poor sulphide ores, it is impossible to send them to points where coal is cheap, because of the freight charges. Similarly, it is not practicable to bring coal for roasting purposes to mills built near the mines, because of the high cost.

Homestake Mill to Operate Next Week
Cripple Creek, Colorado.
Another Cyanide Mill.
It is stated that the large cyanide mill of the Cripple Creek Homestake Mining & Reduction Co. will be put in operation next week at a daily capacity of not less than 100 tons. The Phoenix Mining & Leasing Co., composed principally of the Homestake Co.'s directorate, will operate the plant, this decision being brought about by their successful treatment of ore averaging $4 or $5 per ton in the small Homestake mill.
The ore will be obtained principally from the Ironclad and Magna Charta claims adjoining the mill.
