Smelter Shut Down

and the smelter have given employ
ment to between 1500 to 2000 men,
and have supported many families.
The smelter, one of the largest and
most modern on the continent, is
the farthest north smelter on the
Pacific Coast. Its service has been
devoted almost exclusively to the
treating of the copper ores of the
Granby Mine.
These ores are of low grade, and
have been mined on the wholesale
order by the open cut and cave sys
tem. Numerous railroad tracks have
been laid from time to time right
into the heart of the workings, to
convey the ores direct from their
original place of deposit to the huge
reduction works. The smelter stands
on the edge of the inlet, jutting in
from the Pacific, a short distance
below Portland Canal. A constant
procession of ships has plied in and
out of the port these many years,

bringing in supplies.
The management of the Granby
smelter also owns other mining pro
perties on the British Columbia
coast, and there have been rumors
that they may be shipped to Gran
by, and give the big plant a contin
ued lease of life, but apparently
the arrangement will not material
ize, at least for the present.
The little town of Anyox, with its
cluster of homes, housing miners,
mill operators and their families, is
anything but picturesque. The fum
es from the smelter have killed all
vegetation within miles, and only
thehardiest of vegetables and flow
er gardens have been able to over
come the blighting effect. Now that
the huge stacks are to be silenced,
nature may again assert itself, and
time replace the denuded area with
the primitive verdure, spreading a
beneficient mantle silently over the
historic scene where nature has so
bounteously yielded to man a gift
of millions of dollars worth of treas
ured mineral from one of her most
wonderful deposits. The mineral still

such low grade that under the pre

be separated from the gold amalg
am if clean gold retort is to be ob
tained.
DON’TS i
Don’t use hot water on a plate
when cleaning up as it loosens the
silver amalgam that forms the catch
mg surface of the plate and should
be left on the plate.
Don't use a rubber or hard scrap
er to remove amalgam. Any amalg
am that cannot be removed by a
whisk broom properly used is pro- 1
bably silver and should not be re- [
moved.
The one safe and sane chemical
to use is sulphuric acid (half ounce
to gallon of water). This will bright
en the plate, liven the amalgam and
help to loosen the heavy sand from
the amalgam.
The base metals may often be re
moved by floating the amalgam in
quicksilver. These metals will usual
ly float to the top and may be skim
med off.
The local bank is interested in ;
paying the highest price possible for ;
all gold but when retort contains j
silver from the plates, lead, quick
silver, etc. the price has to be cut
accordingly. The only value lies in
the pure gold content.
