The attention of the mining public has, within late years, been largely attracted to the existence of numerous veins and deposits of silver ore, the beneficiation of which was, however, apparently im¬ practicable, as the ores they furnish cannot be worked with any degree of success by the ordinary amalgamation process, and are not sufficiently rich to bear the expense of roasting, even after the im¬ proved and cheaper methods now in vogue. An over- confidence in the adaptability of the ordinary Washoe process to the working of ores of the most different characters has led to numerous failures, while, on the other hand, the caution bred of experience causes many properties to lie idle, which would prove
