MANY WAR VETERANS
MAY BE ELECTED
TO FRENCH CHAMBER
! PARIS.—When the new French
’ chamber assembles after the coming
election is is expected that 50 per
cent of the deputies will be vet
erans of the {treat war. Everyone
is looking forward to a horizon blue
chamber.
Binet-\ aimer, a writer, who ren
dered much eminent service with the
tanks in the last two years of the
war, expects to be returned to the
chamber. He has written that one
. of the first measures that he will
try to have passed will be the re
warding by titles of the victorious
French generals. Commenting upon
the title granted by the king of
England to General Bvng, making
him Lord Byng of Vimy, Binet
Valmer writes:
“I shall ask the new house that
the names of great battles be added
to the names of our great marshals
and generals. For a tentative list
I propose the following. Marshal
Joffre. Duke of the Marne; Marshal
. Foch. Prince of the Yser (the title
of prince has to be a foreign one),
Duke of Saint-Gond and of the
'Aisne; Marshal Petain, Duke of Ver
dun; General Castelnau. Duke of
Xancy; General Mangin. Duke of
Villers-Cotterets; Gouraud. Duke of
Chalons; Debeney, Duke of Mont
didier."

ENGINEER SAYS
i NEW MILL WILL
• ASSIST MINING
“Work on the construction of the
big l.OOO-ton concentrating mill at
the Jumbo mine will be started as
soon as possible next spring and we
will employ all the men we can use
to advantage at that time.” John
D. Fields, mining engineer in charge
of the work, recently informed the
Ketchikan Chronicle. “After the
completion of the mill between 209
and 300 men will be employed the
year around on the property.”
Mr. Fields then went on to ex
plain that all magnetite copper
properties in the Ketchikan district
which heretofore have been prac
tically unworkable at a profit, can
now be worked wjjh a new flotation
process which is being used in the
big copper camps of the south where
the mineral occurs in porphyry.
This means much to this section as
many properties which have been
idle for years can now be worked
at a handsome profit for the copper
alone, leaving a residue of pure iron
as a by-product.
In the big copper properties of
the states, after the copper has been
extracted, the residue is barren
quartz, while here a handsome
profit can be realized also from
the by-product of iron.
Tests were made of the ore from
the Jumbo mine in 1916 at the test
ing plant of the Federal Lead com
pany. at Flat river, Missouri. Cop
per ore carrying 1.40 per cent can
be worked at a profit by the pro
cess, without any return from the
residue. In the tests from the
Jumbo the copper content ran 3.20
per cent, leaving a residue of 62.6
per cent pure iron.
The ore, after'being delivered at
the mill from the mine will be
crushed in a jaw crusher, pass
through a ball mill, which will fur
there reduce the size of the particles,
from there to the classifiers, and
then to the flotation machines,
where the values are extracted. Suc
cessful mills using this process are
the Butte and Superior, Chino. Utah
Copper. Enterprise, and many others.
It is practically the same process
as that used at Kennecott and La
Touche at the present time.
Heretofore the magnetite ore was
unworkable on account of the extra
large amount of coke required to
smelt the ore. Under the new pro
cess, after the copper is extracted
at a profit, the iron can be worked
at a large profit in spite of the ex
tra cost of the fuel required.
Mr. Fields is the general man
ager of the propertv. acting for the

new company which is being formed
and which has acquired the rights
to work the mine from the Sulzei
estate.
This will not only allow many
large properties which have been
standing idle for years to be worked
for their copper, but it will furnish
a steady supply of iron ore for use
of steel mills and manufacturing
plants on the Pacific coast, doing
away with the necessity of making
the long haul across the continent.

NEW INVENTION WILL
CHECK AUTO THIEVES
LONDON'.—Motor rar thieves
were invited to attend a recent
demonstration here of a device in
vented by a British aavai engineer
to check the thieve?' activity. So
far as - known, none accented the
invitation.
The invention consists of a box
containing a gong which is adjusted
by means of a key. Thereafter the
slightest movement of the car will
, set the gong going and it will con
tinue its clamor until the car stops.
London's police have be°n noti
fied of the invention and in future
they will detain the driver of any
■'car whose bell is ringing.
