Description
Excerpt from On Two New Electrochemical Processes: For the Extraction of Silver and Gold From Their Ores
Some two years ago, Mr. Gilbert Gurney, a practical mining man, came to this University with some of the now well-known Tonopah gold and silver ores, with a view to finding out "what could be done with them in the line of a remunerative treatment of the same." As Mr. Gurney, upon the writer coming to know him, admitted frankly to have very limited command to the knowledge of chemistry or metallurgy necessary to cope with the problem in question, the latter, by common consent, soon devolved upon the present writer, while Mr. Gurney himself kindly offered to purvey certain facilities whereby the necessary investigations were to be carried out.
The following is an account of the results of the various experiments and studies that were undertaken in this line during the academic year '03-'04, and continued throughout the year '04-'05.
It is necessary to state here that nearly all the assays made in connection with the first part (Chloridation method) of this study were made by Thomas Price & Sons, professional assayers of San Francisco, through the courtesy of Mr. Gurney. On the other hand, the writer assumes responsibility for the remaining assays, all of which were made at the chemical laboratories of this University.
