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.

graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text 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 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text A large amount of money has been invested in the mill, and the outcome of the property is being watched with interest.
graphic for visual presentation of text It is situated on Ironclad hill not far from the Wild Horse mine.

Info 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
